The point is not that Microshot is coming out with a new console in 2011, they can come with a new console every year if it pleases them as far as I am concerned. The point is that they will most probably stop their support of the 360 as soon as they have the xbox 3. So your comparison with ipod, or wii is flawed. Yes there are new ipod every year, but the one you bought last year can still play all the new music that is coming out today. Yes their will probably be a new wii by then, but Nint...
Come on... the first reason I never bought an xbox is because of Microshot arrogance towards their competition. Confidence is good when you are in a competitive business, arrogance is not.
It seems that taking your customer for brainless sheeps works in the short run. It won't in the long run.
I hear some people getting tired of having to replace their Xbox 360 every 6 month to a year and are starting to look on the other side of the field where PS3 owner have their console just...
Considering what you have found wrong with the game... I would give it... hem... let's say a 9.8/10. Loosing 0.2 pts for the minor problems you have just listed...
Thank you for being honest.
Is that all you could find... that just confirms the 10/10 GTA got...
One note on 3:
Wierd Install option...
They wanted to have an install because it reduces the in game load time to almost 0 on the PS3... the problem is some XBOX doesn't have a HD... (talk about progress.... from Microsh*t) so they couldn't have an install option for Xbox since the game has to work on ALL xbox. So if you want to blame someone... why don't you blame Microsh*t for the console design choic...
Sorry, but 360 developpment is so much easier... when I hear "We're not PS3 developers" that either mean "We can't develop with extra help from the platform" or "We are so lazy, we don't want to do some real work developping...
That is just sad to hear... Good thing there are some real programmer out there doing the real job for them.
"limited number" BULLSH*T. I can and will happened to anyone. They should be ashamed to ship a game that crashes and cannot be reinstalled. I hope EA buy the HELL out of them. At least, EA game might be buggy, but they F*CKING WORK
"your PS3 will give you a warning about over heating, just ignore it"
You m*r*n, if you ignore this warning your PS3 CPU will fry. It is not a false alarm. As UnasFortuna was saying, because of the position you are placing your console, the heat moves to an area where the fans are less efficient, and the heat rises in you CPU, so the fans kicks it to maximum trying to save the life of you PS3.
I wonder how many people have are crying right now because they listen to th...
Well, just buy an upgradable Blu-ray player... it is called a PS3... it will have blu-ray 33.3 whenever that will come out in 10 years, and it does other things... such as.... play games...
I saw a person buy a hi end blu-ray player the other day. I asked him "why don't you buy a PS3 instead?" He answered "I already have a 360"... this guy just shot himself in the foot..... not Sony...
At least, here is a useless format that doesn't hurt anyone. Let Sony hope if they wish. Not like HD DVD that is hurting the entire movie industry.
Why won't HD DVD just die... I don't have anything against HD DVD, I just want this war to end. The fact that Toshiba is hanging on is just hurting everyone including them. The sooner they stop spending money in a dying format, the sooner they will make money. If this continues for too long, no HD disc format will reach the greater public, both HD DVD and Blu ray will become odd formats just like Laser Discs. I want to be able to rent or buy any d_a_m_n movie I please in 1 HD format.
I am so annoyed seeing brainless reporter on TV talking about things they don't understand.
They really need to read this:

How convenient, just when the PS3 start selling very well (More PS3 sold in France than XBox360), this kid bring this old news back on the table... I wouldn't be surpised if he just recieve another check from Miserosoft... hired as "actor"
Digital Download is the way of the future, but distante future, there are many infrastructure and storing problems to overcome first.
You have to be able to download the moving in less than 30 min, no one wants to way 2 hours to see a movie. The internet connection must cost around 30 dollars per month (but much faster). The server must be able to handle multiple poeple downloading the movies at the same time, and finally, you need A couple of Terrabyte HD for less than 300 dollars an...
What other partner? No one want to touch a HD-DVD with a 10 foot poll anymore....
Digital download is the way of the future, and by that I mean, not present. The current infrastructure cannot handle hundred of simultanious download of 55 GB of content at high speed. On top of that users would have to pay a very expensive internet connection to be able to have their movie downloaded in minutes rather than hours. I have a DSL connection that currently takes a hours to download a couple of GB of data... I would want to way days to get a HD Movie... DD will be a reality in 5 y...
I know rumors was going about this happening, but I didn't expect this so soon... This is HUGE for the HD format... This is.... the end of the war format...
As a PS3 owner and a Microsoft not so much fan, this is also big for PS3/Sony, and pretty hard blow to Microsoft...
They are coming out with a Xbox version of the PS3... Cause all those feature listed (except the huge Hard Drive that needs to be bought on extra from a compatible laptop Hard Drive) are the feature that PS3 has from the beginning... isn't it? For some reason, I don't think they can make an Xbox with those feature for less than the price of a PS3. Finally, we will be able to compare the value of the 2 systems for what they are worth: The Xbox is not cheaper than the PS3 once you add all the f...
I was going to buy GHIII... not anymore.
To Activision: FYI, I am boycotting any game made by Activision until this situation is resolved without any compensation.
I have the feeling that I won't be buying next version of Spiderman for some reason... sight...
I don't get it, how is it even legal for Activision to stop Harmonix from patching Rockband? Rockband is Harmonix intellectual property, as long as they are not "stealing" code from Activision to make their patch for Rockband, Activision HAS NO RIGHT whatsoever. Harmonix isn't breaking any law by patching their game are they? Is there a law that says, "Any periferials made by a specific game company for a specific hardware should not be made compatible for any other software un...
Yeah....
Are you guys so brain washed that you don't see the problem...
5 Xbox crash in a couple of years... what is wrong with you. A console shouldn't crash every year in the first place. The fact that they are getting good at replacing them only shows that they got so many returns that they ended up being good at it...
I don't know an xbox owner that didn't have the RROD.
In a couple of years, when the Xbox 720 will come out and Microsoft will stop support for t...
