@JP1369 "nearly all of these so-called insiders have a failure rate that makes them anything but prescient"
But cboat is not one of these so-called insiders as you will know if you spend so much time there. He's been doing this for 6 or 7 years and his success rate is well into the 90-95% bracket. So basically unprecedented and unrivaled .

Mostly that's just...
But free FIFA!!111one

Have to say, looking through your posts you have some of the funniest one and two line comments on here, even if you don't always add to the conversation :)
As for article, Jesper Frost is going to be in trouble if he continues directly putting down the competition, it's not policy and not what he needs to be saying in delicate times - anything and everything will be reported and written about as it was here and it's only going to do microsoft more harm in the lon...
" I am sorry to say, but this is all in my eyes, it's just a stronger Playstation 3"
Looks like Mr Frost didn't get the memos. Nobody from microsoft needs to be downtalking the competition in any way, shape of form, they are supposed to be talking their own hardware up but not at the expense of others. Just not classy and leaves a bad taste after recent events.
And some deal it is for European buyers, too, when they just dropped 8 European countries from the launch window... kind of rubbing it in their faces even more.
"Hi, Sweden! You know that console you pre-ordered and we now won't sell to you until next year? We're giving the rest of the guys a free copy of FIFA for it, too! See you in March!"
@Timesplitter14 "4,000,000 X1 launch window owners"
In microsoft's wildest dreams.
OT: It looks like it's FIFA14 from reports of stuff seen at EA's booth at Gamescom, but will the free game be a retail copy or a download for live members?
pics or it didn't happen.
Probably more to make sure they control the output more at this sensitive time.
@theWB27 I'm sorry but there isn't a single "retail ready" xbox one just yet, you are misinformed.
truthfact overload this time!
Lots of interesting stuff in there and some really shocking stuff both good and bad... therefore many days worth of arguments and flames to come - fanboys rejoice!
The Fight was one of my favourite games on ps3. It's not an "action fighting video game" it's a motion-controlled fighting RPG.
It might be a little frustrating and tiring (lol!) to begin with, but once you start to level up and gain better stats it really begins to flow. I liked it because it gave me a real buzz coming back day after day, so much so it kicked me off on a programme of routine exercise and weight training that I continue to this day.

DRM ≠ digital game downloads. PS+ might be a good value service, but it isn't DRM. It might have a good hook to keep you subscribing, but that isn't DRM. DRM is any means of controlling digital content once it has been paid for/received by the purchaser.
What Sony have done with PS+ is to show gamers that digital content might not be something they'd hate as much as they thought they would. I was personally all for physical copies of games and it wasn't until ...
Have you tried switching it on and using it? :)
OT: The reason it's super-quiet is it has to be as it's supposed to be an integral part of your living room setup... nothing worse than having a film ruined from the whir of a dodgy player.
Does watching porn through HDMI-in count as "playing xbox"? Definitely don't want to get caught doing that...
Here's 10* even more likely reasons ps4 will fail:
10. Asteroid collision ends almost all life on earth. Only cockroaches, sewer rats and xbots survive.
9. Shocking report finds 99% of all ps4 pre-orders were actually jokingly placed by Major Nelson while off his face on Wild Turkey & Kool Aid spritzers.
8. Sony think up 5 startling 180s including amazing new DRM and prohibited 2nd hand sales. PS4 Eye to replace ds4 only game interface.
7. ... ...
Well said. Their plan was to get not just the 80m units installed the 360 has but a much larger share of what they think is a market of 400m to one billion consoles due to xbox ones non-gaming appeal, being right at the centre of everything you do digitally in the home.*
Of course, after their legendary announce disasters, they then realised they were actually going to struggle to get even the first few million through front doors. Their master plan required them to begin wit...

When I read what you wrote, I pictured you doing it like this:

Easy - fanboys don't like facts, refuse to accept an opinion putting their beloved machine in a negative light and are deaf to constructive criticism.
Don't take it personally - I got a small collection of disagrees for simply quoting the contents of a promotional email from Sony the other day, so I must be a raging Sony fanboy who must be disagreed with at all costs ;-)
It's only a win for you if you work for Microsoft.
As a consumer, paid for exclusive or timed content is not something to rejoice over, for any game, for any system. What the company paying is doing is offering money to withhold game content from other platforms 99% of the time, not pay for its creation as exclusive.
The only time this practise a good thing is when a platform holder throws money at a dev who would otherwise not have created the game in th...
