Nothing made any sense there.
Not having a hard drive or Natal doesn't stop gamers from playing games, or developers from making games. Motion tracking/voice recognition technology hasn't (and probably won't) replace a standard controller yet, so all current Xbox 360 gamers will still be able to play future games. Same thing with the hard drive, it's only integral for buying and downloading huge media and XBLA games and to install games from your disc. Developers can STILL make h...
You're suggesting that everyone who's owned an Xbox 360 has encountered the 3 red lights error, and that they've had to buy new consoles each time? Microsoft will repair or replace any console that has been diagnosed with that problem, free of charge.
Also RRoD is seriously overdone. Fanboys needed RRoD to fuel the constant rivalry, but the truth is that both sides want the same thing in the end: games. If gamers could just get over their superiority complexes and their slavish d...
I think there's just a lot of resentment over how successful Microsoft put their image on this gen with Xbox Live. The soul of community oriented online gaming that became such an unstoppable force...even Sony had to wake and smell the the smoke that XBL was cooking.
And the resentment comes from the fact that PS3 was supposed to be Sony TD all the way, like something out of a playbook. Microsoft was able to intercept the ball and run with it this gen for a 100 yard return :)
Extreme Cheddar!!!
...dude, that was so NOT extreme.
It's not luck, you've just done well for yourself. Count your blessings though, people in tight spots during this recession surely envy you but not for your TVs...it's your security that a lot of people are lacking now.
Count your security as a blessing...
If you skip buying candy bars snacks and D!ckey Me's (I mean Mickey D's) for a whole year you'll be out of the ghetto before you know it :)
Or just make friends with the right people. Get to know some managers at Best Buy or whatever, trust me the connections you make in life can go a long way. How about 50 inches long?!
...that didn't sound right.
Well I think they'll both be great...
Seriously, anybody who can judge a 50 hour rpg just by the first few screens and trailers they've seen obviously haven't got much to go on. If you mean that you like the darker feel of VS don't forget that even that can change during the actual gameplay. Unless they've got a 50 hour plot where it's always dark and gloomy, lol.
They really spend a lot of resources in character models and clothing, and yet they seem to have so much left over for breathtaking environments and spells. There will never be an rpg out there that beats an FF when it comes to that kind of effort.
With that said, I'm actually kinda impressed with the whole city scape and train thing they've shown us as being the beginning. So far the story feels similar to FF-VII's beginning, how they have this whole government conspiracy and a ...
A lot of fanboys say that but it's not true. Being on more than one console doesn't stop it from being stellar. Xbox 360 is not limiting what the game will look like in the end. In fact in just the last few months of seeing it actually running on Xbox 360 hardware they've already matched PS3's version that we've seen for years now. Of course a lot of those trailers were comprised of CGI and scripted scenes, but the battle scenes and gameplay segments already look great.
Holy cow....
Your comment history does your species justice...
Xbox 360 is not a hampered system. DVD's only limitation pertains the total space ONE DISC can have, which means games can be made to fit on MORE if the developers want/need to.
And let's face it: bluray has only proved useful for keeping huge games on one disc, having lossless audio (who has the speakers for that anyway) and saving nice 1080p cgi fmvs for the rabid ps3 fanboys to eat up and confuse with being realtime.
The specs that matter the most are memory, grap...
This sure does sound interesting, I'm thinking Waypoint should be really awesome. Does it mean that having a Premier Bungie account won't matter anymore, or will you still need to upgrade to use more space and slots for replays?
I think it would be fair that they wouldn't need that anymore given the fact that Waypoint will essentially be the same thing but accessible from the dashboard. What do you guys think?
If you don't like the praise about Xbox Live DON'T troll in Xbox 360 articles.
Why go somewhere where you disagree with everything, isn't that defeating the purpose of the people who like Xbox Live having their own opinion? People should be able to say what they like and not feel it a burden that they will get disagrees for it just because of some imaginary fanboy war.
The intelligence level is WAY too low here I guess...
You went out of your way to produce a list of games for the PS3 that you're excited for when the topic is "Xbox 360 got no games...say what?"
Wow...insecurity really shows.
It wasn't even PG-13 rated love making. And besides, Sex ED usually begins in 6th grade (it did for me anyway...no, not like that), so kids are 11-13 anyway, so why not in games too?
It's way too easy for kids to get the wrong ideas about sex so I sorta agree that games should be games and not dating sims/relationship seminars. Games should be entertainment...not that sex isn't entertaining. The two shouldn't be too involved is all I'm saying, sex is way more serious than a few p...
Greywulf, where did I blame this all on Sony? You just keeping trying to counter my comments and sound foolish in the end...
It also has nothing to do with Microsoft how a developer chooses to build their game or game engine.
Sales and popularity is all that matters...when KillZone2 gets to where Halo 3 is wake me up. Then you'll be able to tell me that Guerrilla's much overhyped answer to Halo 3 has gotten anywhere. Especially since PS3 gamers touted it as having de...

trolling...in an Xbox 360 article? when i have an Xbox 360? and Halo 3?
DVD 9 is not 480i native, you're talking about the VIDEO that gets burned to it, and only what's been standardized as SD. DVDs can also be progressive, so 480p is actually the highest that most studios will produce on DVD. But that's only because of how inefficient the mpeg2 codec is at keeping file sizes smaller. Using much better and newer codecs you could produce a 720p video that could fit on 4.5GB DVDs.
As for GAMES, the only thing that determines what resolution a game wil...
The hardware IS very powerful and devs ARE making good use of it. You just have to understand that not every developer works with the same intentions as another might. Each company has their own way of doing things, their own style, their own focus. It what makes every game different. If Bungie decided to go with lower resolution it's because the engine is old and they just didn't see it being important enough of an upgrade for Halo 3 ODST.
Plus they've got new stuff coming out w...
Back then either you had Xbox Live or you didn't, no Gold and Silver accounts. And the system wasn't as configurable. They ARE pretty reasonable this gen, you can buy the console as cheap or as well configured as you want it be.
