Sony fanboys are admitting to wanting any Halo they can get. Kinda' said actually considering how much they rail against it.
Microsoft does things I don't like. They also do a lot that I do like. For me Bing is far better than Google for the reasons indysurfn mentioned. I don't have the patience for looking through a bunch of pages I didn't ask for. If someone offers something better, I'll use it. The funny thing about most of the bitc---- in this row of comments is that most of these same people probably don't complain when other companies do the same thing. EA suck a-- but I don't remember as much complaining whe...
If they plan to be the living room hub, that means HD movies too. 25 or 30 movies and half of that is almost gone. 10 games and there goes another chunk. Put all of your music on there in CD quality. 1TB is the new GB. It will go fast as more companies offer DLC every month like COD and Fallout. If they were smart, they could work a deal with Toshiba to allow DVD downloads to the 360 so that it can act as a movie server. And there is also the possibility of a DVR feature. A TB will look small...
Video game piracy is wrong. Not only is the honest and hard working developer providing you with hours of fun, he needs to make himself rich too. And he can't become rich fast enough if you don't allow yourself to be raped with overly expensive pricing. Activision promises to use grease, so bend over and hang on. It's going to be fun.
I know if I had a computer that runs it, I still wouldn't buy it. The $10 more they charge for the console versions is the usual cost for the console royalty. They are not charged that on the PC, so they shouldn't be trying to charge an extra $10. It's pure greed. It also might be a way to get some of the money back for having an extra PS3 team. While it's good that they do that, get it from the PS3 fans, not a third group.
it tells you something about how the market works. Yes Microsoft is buying back stock, big deal. While they are doing it to stabilize the stock, I think it is also to decrease the amount of exposure to a market proved to be flaky. Actually not flaky, a scam. Microsoft was making record profits before the "economic downturn". It still made 13 million in profits last year, while down, I'm lost on how that is bad.
3 years ago they had over 50 billion in cash, you neglected...

It's the stock market scam at work. Microsoft is doing well. Like indysurfn said, they beat expectations. Doesn't anyone find it odd that when Surface didn't seem like a potential money makers, Zune was failing, Xbox was losing money and Vista was broken. No one said Microsoft was in trouble.
Now Surface is being used and is being rea...
Though the Sony fanboys will disagree with this, the funny thing is that just two years ago, Sony's market cap was much higher than Nintendo's. And the fanboys don't even realize that while they say Microsoft is having problems, the reality is that Sony has lost over half it's value. Also they miss the fact that the Xbox's division was actually profitable for the year. Sony's games division wasn't. And neither was Sony as a company.
they were being investigated because employees taking games home and selling them as new was determined to be corporate policy. A "benefit" to the employees. And the reason it is a problem is because of a little thing called the law. Opening a product automatically makes it used. A used product sold as new is considered fraud. Not to mention that any warranties are not necessarily transferred to the second buyer. That's why a government agency has gotten involved.
Have uninformed employees and managers. Allow your employees to take games home and then push them off as new to customers. Make most of you income from selling used games and accessories that you bought for next to nothing from uninformed sellers. And buy-out all of your competition. Thank God for Corporate America.
Sony hasn't been unlucky, they made a lot of mistakes. They were also extremely arrogant. People like to blame the economy. It has nothing to do with gaming. The industry has been affected little by the economy. Gaming has been down for Sony. It had to eventually come down for Nintendo, the numbers were ridiculous. But the 360 has been up all year.
Sony made a radically different piece of expensive hardware. They believed, in their arrogance, people would just buy it anyway. Sma...
Mainly the need or advantages for either Microsoft or Toshiba entering the Blu-ray market. Toshiba is the main patent holder for DVD. Why would they support Blu-ray and compete directly with themselves and degrade their own products user base. With well over 100 million in DVDs sold each week in the US alone Toshiba is fine on that front.
For Microsoft, the future is Silverlight. Their recent demo proved it was a viable format and it has been rumored to be headed to Netflix. Sil...
While that is hard to do, he just did. MS has been making missteps for a while. Now the company seems to have gotten it's footing again and this fool says sell. Changing from buy to sell. That's like starting to cheer when a band is sucking it, then starting to boo when they stop missing notes. What an idiot.
What is it he's seeing that others aren't. Windows 7 according to people who have tried it looks to be a success. People have been able to get it working on some really low...
It is growing slowly. And there are no real signs it will grow anymore than it has. The sales are still up and down. Though they are better than they were last year, they aren't what Sony was expecting. Sony thought they would win a large share of the home market at this point and so far they have around 10-11%. Here's a link to Home Media Magazine's electronic edition. You can find plenty of legitimate info on Blu-ray. There is fluff in some of the articles and interviews, but look at the nu...
Using his own story as proof of something is as low as it gets. Metacritics is nothing to base anything on. It's like using Wiki as a reference without any backup. My Grandmother could have an influence on their scores. At least go back to submitting other peoples worthless stories.
I hate when Son....I mean Dennis Dyack does that.
At the same time moving it to a different time might not help at all. I believe it will be a niche title also. But Sony wants much more from this game. And the expense of making it demands so much more. Moving it from the Holiday season when money flows more freely might be a mistake. Plus more and more companies have been moving game to Tax season because sales spike for a month or two. It won't be alone.
Funny they aren't changing that release date.
Natal will be sold as a add-on and as part of new 360's sold. The cost for MS at this point is low enough that they can use the 360 itself to subsidize the cost of Natal. The add-on itself might be $75-100. Most people who already own a 360 might just decide to buy an arcade with one, thereby getting an additional machine and controller for $100.
Once MS re-negotiates it contracts and continues to shrink and merge the parts(Valhalla) of the console, the Arcade picks up in sales w...
Actually it succeeds. The reason is the very first comment states he will be watching the superior version on his PS3. He got 32 agrees. Which means that 32 PS3 owners(most likely the same fanboys that agree to any PS3 being superior comment) acknowledge that they will be getting the Halo film. This is the Sony fanboys version of pen-- envy.
