Ebay/Half.com have been crashing Gamestop's party for a while now. Why get a quarter of the retail value for a game (Gamestop) when you can get at least half (eBay)? Any business trying to enter the used game market is trying to be the middleman. In doing so, you lose a good amount of money. Post your stuff on half.com and you will thank me for it.
Who sells more hardware world wide EVERY month: Xbox 360. I can't believe you are as naive to assume the 360 is dead, lol. OMG, no Haloz or Mass Effect...yeah because Microsoft didn't make us WAIT for our console exclusives. I'm looking forward to GTA4 (the superior version), Ninja Gaiden II (game of the year), Alan Wake, the superior Madden 09 game, Too Human, Gears of War II (the new Halo), among others. Your pathetic and beyond biased. Oh...and just so you believe I'm not biased...I will b...
Violent crime is at an all time low compared to 20 years ago? I don't think video games are immoral or bad for you. There are different genres of movies, books and other media...the same with video games. Now here is a thought: Do the virtual characters you "kill" have souls? Heck no. Killing some dude or monster in a video game is far less heinous than killing a bug. For some of these right-wing conservative christian evangelicals (gasp) dancing is probably a sin too. It is their o...
I sense a little bias...I wonder if you actually had a 360 or are being truthful. I'm on my second...whoa. RROD is a problem magnified by the internet. Just imagine: you get everyone's attention if you say you have a 360, rrod, and more than 3 times. The internet is wonderful for liars and attention whores. Sony Death Force in full effect. Everyone knows that they are trying to take over N4G. Look at the number of stories that aren't approved because they put Sony as a brand in a bad light. I...
When you have dedicated servers like Sony...eventually your games are going to lose online functionality. Xbox Live is superior and always will be on account that in 10 years you will still be able to play any game online. Xbox Live allows anyone to host a game on the network. Any game. Why pay for online? Because I'm not particularly excited about the day I can't play Resistance online because #2 is coming out. Btw- Live is usually not a laggy mess like some people say it is. Eventually ever...
Sold 4 million not too long ago...For comparisons sake, it seems 360 has sold more games and has more 1 million plus sellers. It has been out longer thus selling more consoles...but still seems to sell more software in general. Disagree if you want, I have 5 PS3 games.
I smell bull$hit is that you April fools...
I would hope backwards compatibility is included in the new 80 gig. I have the 40 gig and appreciate that it uses the more energy efficient chips; would be nice if the newer chips and backwards compatibility made it into the model.
I was thinking about upgrading my hard drive. Does anyone know how to do it without the loss of data. I know I'm going to screw something up.
PSN tag- undertheblue
The sequel doesn't offer too much more than the original. A shame considering the first left me (and everyone else) with high expectations for a second installment. Oh well...back to COD4
My fiancee is a blend of a few types- she plays casual pc and ds games obsessively when she finds the time or we game together. However she might go weeks and months in between playing. She is definitely a girlfriend gamer and has supported my hobby if not fully understanding it and the culture surrounding it. One thing I think resonates with her is Mario- she loves 2D Mario. Still trying to get her to play Phantom Hourglass on the DS.
Off topic slightly- My fiancee has proposed ...
In the last month I bought God of War, FF War of the Lions, FF Crisis Core, and Patapon...The PSP is anything but dead. Its nice that Sony is catering to the hardcore crowd finally. I bought mine in anticipation of all these great games. Its not going anywhere for a while.
Why are you picking the game up for ps3? It is a port of the 360 version. Read my post above your own. Why not buy the 360 version that has downloadable content? If you excuse is rrod that is lame. I am on my second Xbox and its been a year and a half with no problems and none expected. They fixed the problem. If you want to buy the inferior PS3 version go ahead but don't say nobody warned you.
But your also very wrong. Of every 360 game I own I have purchased all of the downloadable content for each. I am talking about Oblivion (100 hour game as is), Halo 3, Gears of War, Mass Effect, etc. If you think people won't be drawn to the inclusion of downloadable content you are mistaken. It adds value. You spend $60 dollars on a game and you want to feel like you got what you paid for. The 360 is still less expensive and may have a "surprise" price drop. Price is a key to this ...
A price drop on the 360. When did n4g become such a haven for Sony "exclusive" gamers? Its like they flock here, take over this site and make it sound like everything Sony related is the best. I own a ps2/3 and psp and its hard to swallow some of the things that are said in the name of "gamer zone".
If Microsoft is repairing rrod 360's for FREE...how would the number of 17 million consoles shipped be impacted at all by rrod? Do people assume repaired 360's disappear or something? After all, if you get your xbox fixed your NOT throwing it away. Dumba$$es. Btw...i think its interesting that a previous article claiming one version was superior over another was not approved. Seems to be a little war for power (story approval) going on on the obviously unbiased n4g...
Off topic:...
both the ps3 and xbox have similar line ups for the spring. Summer and fall should sport more exclusives for both.
Rumors and nothing more...until there is solid proof (screens/videos) and zero speculation about authenticity of source. Personally I am at a loss that people care one way or another if a game is exclusive or not. As long as one version doesn't suffer that is... Btw, 360 didn't "steal" exclusives. There is something called economics that many people who own one console don't seem to understand. Larger hardware base= larger consumer market for games. The 360 owes its "exclusivit...
the iPhone only supports AT&T/Cingular. If Apple really wanted to reach a larger audience they should have had released an unlocked phone. Wtf. I would have bought one too. Cingular has the worst service of any cell phone carrier, not to mention no CMDA. Therefore I will say...the iPhone sucks and I could care less about it or gaming with it. Disagree if you want, Apple did a disservice to consumers in ostracizing those with different service plans.
And apple owns what percentage of the pc/laptop industry? 15% if that. What is news worthy will be the day best buy offers blu-ray drives in every computer. When will this happen? 2 years. Blu-ray is too expensive right now. It seems the format war was a good thing; cheaper products. Now with no competition, blu-ray prices are right back up at a premium. wtf
Playing the same three maps over and over again is boring. Variety is the spice that keeps things interesting; just like relationships I might add.
