Microsoft burns naysayers again.
I want the brooke burke one :)
Ok, first of all, ive said it before, you wont notice much of a difference. Also, the hardware in the 360 and PS3 are not substantially different in power. There are advantages and disadvantages to each console. The cell is great at math, the 360 can do everything else (and isnt too bad at math itself). The truth is the 360 was optimized for gaming, so even if the PS3 was much more powerful, they would be on a level playing field now. I cant tell you how happy I am that people can no longer s...
Microsoft will always be greater then or equal to any online service. Look at it this way, Sony and Nintendo are more hardware companies, whereas Microsoft is a software company. Microsoft most likely developed the tools Sony and Nintendo are using to create their online services, well I wouldnt be surprised. If Microsoft can come anywhere close to them with the hardware (which the have done very well), it all comes down to software, which is Microsofts realm, and where it seems to dominate w...
This game looks fantastic, and I have no idea why people are crying. Also i have a little piece i put together called, how i know this is spam:
1. The person voted lame on his own article
2. He posted the first comment saying how he doesnt think it looks good
Seriously, the ingame footage of this game looks better then the CGI Sony showed off. How can you say something doesnt look good graphically when it honestly and truly does? How could some people say this, an...
For one, the Xbox 360 background is very dynamic, as we have seen with the Xbox Live Camera. It adds effects to video coming from the webcam in real-time. Its quite cool. Oh also, 360 has theme packs, you have clearly never taken a decent look at the 360. Youre just like many other people. You have to take a decent look at all hardware, its easy to shoot anything down. Ipods suck, who needs all that space (see?). By the way, dont start bashing me, i know everyone does it.
Number tw...
I like the background effect on these interfaces. Also, the GUI is cool itself, but gets annoying after a while (a relatively long while, but still does get annoying eventually, then again, what doesnt, ill attempt to stop contradicting myself now). I cant tell you this because of my PSP.
This isnt a big deal. It will be barely noticable. Also, to all wondering, this is because the Cell is superior in math calculations, such as physics, etc. Whereas the Xenon is better for GPP (general purpose programming), which makes it good for anything (not specifically as excellent at math as the Cell, however, still good though).

Also, hard-drive is faster then any cd/dvd/next gen dvd rom will ever be, i dont care what you say, because you dont know what your talking about. By the time this gen ends, guess what, we will be downloading to hard-drives. So disc space will not matter. Loading from a disc and hard-drive is even better, because 2 instances of loading can be done at the same time, as the CPU's in the ps3 and 360 can handle it easily.
You will need space in the future. Its all due to textures. This is what someone will argue you. But guess what, the Xbox 360 is pretty future proof. You know all those fancy textures that the ps3 and 360 give you? Ya well, using what 360 has (procedural synthesis) the textures can be massively cut down in size. This is because the texture file isnt saved, the data on how the texture was created is saved, and at runtime, the texture is recreated. This greatly reduces size, of course. There i...
Europeans get screwed over, massively.
Wait, how is that not expensive? You are saying that they are cheap through comparison. Which is totally voiding the point of being cheap. XBox 360 games are expensive, and through comparison of that these are cheap, I fail to see the logic. Theyre all expensive.
Also I could have told you the prices months ago, Best Buy has had them up since the summer. And they are slightly more then Xbox 360 games.
P.S. For all of those who are going to yell at me saying bestbuy...
First of all, i hope the get a final version soon. Im happy that they werent lying in the end, they are actually supplying what they said about HDMI ports. And how about you _all_ stop talking like youre developers. These are just numbers, without the games to back them up, they mean nothing, absolutely nothing. I could make the fastest computer in the world, if someone doesnt make a good game to take advantage of it, it is totally worthless. And who says we need all of that power to get good...
Ok seriously, i dont use surround sound at all. And lossless audio means nothing to me at all. Vibration means a lot more to me then dolby 7.1 surround sound. Was this add-on meant to be the absolute best player? Absolutely not. Its an add-on, a cheap extension for those who already have a 360 and would like to watch movies in HD. Is everyone buying a next-gen console going to go out and buy an HDTV? Do they really expect that? I wouldnt go out of my way to get one, i already had it, because ...
IGN seems to really dislike the Xbox 360. Can they not see an HDMI cable coming? As I recall the last time Sony did this, MS had a good response, we have 1080p aswell. But whatever, i guess these guys are short-sighted.
Also, to the whole power-lines query. Ya, all cables give off a megnetic field, and all cables have metal inside, so without protection _any_ cable can have interference. So HDMI is no comfort zone.
Oh wow, they contacted Microsoft. So they called up...
I never said anything about X06 being awesome, but thank you for mentioning that it is. Its the news coming from it, thus far, the news has been much more exciting then anything out of TGS. All TGS gave was PS3 gameplay to the Japanese. Thats all fine and well, but 360 people already have their gameplay. So whats better? Games games and more Games. Which there are a plenty. Exclusive titles all around MS. They must be spending so much money. But i dont think it will change the minds of any pe...
I cannot wait, Peter Jackson is an awesome guy, he will do great things for video games (because he isnt tainted, hes fresh blood). The RTS game looks sweet aswell, anyone who hasnt seen the trailer, watch it, now!
This game does look good! Also, HiSpeedSoldier61, its all this amazing news coming from X06 about the 360. Its just all too good to bare. Too much good news in one day.
Oh, its not over, that Halo 3 news is stil coming. X06 has DAYS left to give us lots more information. Xbox.com says that the show ends sunday.
I absolutely agree, bigger hard drives for the consoles will be the wave of the future.
