Lol - sorry, that was funny.
Too bad it's true.
Actually what?
The failure rates of the slim are FAAAAAAR less than the launch console.
Probably back to the "normal" and "acceptable" ranges that the PS3 and Wii currently have. It's too bad that it took 4.5 years for this to occur.
M$ should have saved the reported Billions of dollars in losses by repairing/replacing launch consoles and spent that same amount recalling them and replacing them with the slims.
Key word in your first sentence: minority.
The actions of few taint the reputations of the whole.
As much as I love xbox live (I don't mind the price, sorry - flame away) it's people like this guy who give people like me a bad name. My wife games with me every once and a while, and it's often 10 minutes into our games that she is unplugging her headset and I'm raging at teenaged retards. Yes, child, she has breasts. Yes she makes me lunch...
Is it severed or salvage?
You said it - not me. You're an asshole.
Not for doing this - for writing about it.
WHO CARES? People do this all the time - usually they put it on Myspace or Facebook, but to have it actually go onto a website and then have it secondarily go onto N4G... is stupid.
I seriously don't think anyone besides yourself cares. Stop rubbing your "fortunes" in our face.
Lol, bought a Wii...
Title misleading. It's in the summary, but this was for the first 7 days of each games release.
The most popular game of the year would probably have been mw2 if everyday was counted - and that's a shame.
Yes please...
... will never happen.
Do you have a link for the 360 controller converter for PS3?
Always bugs me that I have to move my left thumb - just feels uncomfortable.
Take your "CoD is so realistic and awesome" goggles off for a few seconds and watch it again.
Trust me - there is humor to be found.
...right. Wait... what?
PSN+ wont get the "free version" of a full sized retail game - unless they rework the entire story to make it a PSN/Arcade type game and strip it of all the promising stuff.
spot on about the straight to DVD movies.
I'll go slightly off topic with the IMAX/3D thing - if the movie is SHOT with 3D cameras - they have promise and can be cool.
If they are shot in 2D, and post-production edited to add the visual 3D effects - they are mostly junk.
@FatOldMan - apparently you don't read much of Patchers stuff...errr crap, then do you?
Patcher talks out his ass to keep himself "relevant"
He's been talking of Pay-to-Play CoD multiplayer since CoD4 - W@W, MW2, BLOPS were all "to have pay-to-play" says Patcher. Games to retail for $80 in 2008, DLC to cost $60 in 2010, MS Handhelds to be more powerful than 360 and cost $99, the list goes on and on and on...
I consider "Good" DLC to be something that adds to the single player STORY and also has a unique and fresh dynamic to any MP the game may have.
Rockstar is owning DLC as of late - GTAIV - Ballad of Gay Tony, Lost and Damned. RDR - Undead Nightmare packs. Price appropriate for the vast amount of stuff you get.
Battlefield BC2/Madden/NHL (All EA games...) making you pay for upgrades to weapons, players, franchises? Ridiculous, and what's worse ...
The worst is when games REQUIRE the DLC to let you continue playing what you paid for when you bought the game originally.
I stopped playing Halo 3 after the first map pack because they REQUIRED you to buy the DLC to play certain gametypes. I hate that shit.
As bad as CoD was, MW2 had it right (and all other games before it - but MW2 was the most widespread) - just integrate the maps into the rotation, and pair people up who have the DLC, but also allow the ...
Add to that list - Dragon Age: Ultimate edition with all DLC (including Awakenings) for $30
Gears of War 2 Platinum $20 - All DLC, Gears 1 and all it's DLC.
The way I get around the whole "paying full price" thing is to either stockpile my Best Buy reward certificates (purchases on my BB Credit Card earn me points - I use it, then pay balance every month - Free money!) to use against games/points cards or buy off of Amazon with $20 towards future g...
they might.
The latest dashboard update had a Kinect update in it as well.
All of the lag is gone, and everything is tracking at 1:1 since the update.
I bought Kinect for my kids, but have been using it to get into better shape. Your Shape FE is excellent for this.
I still have my hands and controllers for the "hardcore" (what does that even mean...) games - so there's no issue with feeling like i'm losi...
The fact that the 3DS doesn't have 4G is exactly why the PSP2 SHOULD have it. The technology is there (much like HD-DVD and Blu-Ray were available when MS produced the 360).
Separate itself from the competition.
My only complaint - How in the world doesn't this ship with 3G AND 4G capabilities?
Sure, games may not utilize the 4G until the spread of the towers and equipment is more vast, but to have that ability would drastically increase it's marketability and technological lifetime.
ONLY complaint. This is similar (...kinda) to the 360 including the DVD instead of HD format disc drive. Old tech doesn't belong in "cutting edge" new products....
PC had it since day 1.
