nnnnnnnnnooooooooooooo!!!!!!! actually i really don't mind since there are a ton of good games still slated to come out this year, plus i have tons of games i still have not finished although i keep buying new ones :P
this is the EXACT reason why i do not like dedicated servers for gaming....this can happen to every single game that is on a dedicated server and the developers decide they want to focus on new games instead of keeping servers online for a previous version of a game....EA absolutely sucks! thankfully, every other game on the 360 is p2p so i don't have to worry about any other games ever getting yanked and not being able to play them online anymore....
so who keeps saying dedic...
it was only a matter of time before this happened. i think it's better to have 2 sku's, not 3 or 4. if microsoft can weed out the core and then drop the price of the premium to $300 and the elite to $400, then i think that would be the ideal situation for them.
when you think about it, the core was affordable, but not really a good value for gamers since you needed to buy a memory pack, which was like $50....so why not spend an extra $50 to get a 20gb harddrive, along with ...
WATCH THE VIDEO!!! this was JUST A PROMOTIONAL thing and there were 10 made specifically for the special promotion...10!! THIS IS NOT ANOTHER VERSION!!!!
give us a break people, watch the stupid video BEFORE MAKING COMMENTS! people read the title and post a comment and then make themselves look like complete fools....
this is NOT another version that is hitting retail stores or anything...if you actually played the video, you would have seen that there were 10 made as a giveaway promotion for the release of the film 300 to hd-dvd, blu-ray and dvd
your statement is a bit misguided because you are all of a sudden saying that microsoft has not done anything in terms of manufacturing or quality control on the xbox360 since it launched 20 months ago.
there was an article that came out that specifically stated that the xbox360 internal hardware has gone through updating and quality of manufacturing has gone up. MOST of the RROD problems have been associated with the xbox360 manufactured in the first year. a majority of the ...
um, a recall and warranty extension are NOT the same thing...
so then according to you, and to the Today Show, EVERY General Motors car has basically a "recall" issued for it since GM extended the warranties on ALL of their cars from 3 years to 10 years, including the existing 2007 models??? that makes ZERO sense saying that extending the warranty on something is "basically a recall".....
i doubt we are going to find any of these in stock anywhere...people are going to flock to cc right when it opens sunday morning and all of these will be gone. typically they don't stock many of the points cards to begin with. if i am able to get my hands on a few, then i'll be pretty happy, but i am not gonna hold my breath lol
1:) if you want to poke fun and say the 360 last a few months, then fine, take your shots if that is how you make your statment. mine is from December 18, 2005 and has not broken down, so let's realize that the 360 HAD problems, but that a MAJORITY of them are functioning WITHOUT any problems.
2:) um, where do you get that an xbox720 will come out in the next year? and if it did, so what?? that DOES NOT mean i can't play any of my xbox360 games on my 360 so i really don't un...
gee, i never would have figured this out cosidering the ps2 has the LARGEST user base on the planet!!! that is like saying "bpeople surveyed reported using Windows on their computers more often than using apple's operating system!" lol
can we stop with useless articles already???
okay, so i fell for it again and read yet another article about "speculative" pricing and whatnot. the problem with this article is that people read it "lightly" and now are making comments as if the article had real facts in it. the sony exec said that "maybe" they could marginially break even by March 2008 "IF" they could cut down the cost of the cell processor, the rsx graphics chip, and the optical blu-ray drive...yes, they can reduce costs by Mar...
yes, psn is free and xboxlive requires a $50 yearly subscription. but let's take a look at the most obvious and important feature that you get by playing on xboxlive rather than psn.....you get to play any online capable game FOREVER!!!! with PSN, your games have a LIMITED amount of time that you will be able to play it online...and i think everyone can agree that online gaming is the present, and the future of all games.
some people might not realize this because they are no...
um, where do you see xbox360 games being offered on hd-dvd???? as far as i know, and the rest of the world, there are ZERO xbox360 games on hd-dvd unless microsoft decided to offer this without telling anybody else in the world.
microsoft doesn't support either high-def movie format simply because they want to push digital distribution with it's downloadable movies and content, that could be a reason why they decided to only give a $20 price drop, so that it would not make peo...
this isn't much of a price drop. it went from $199 to $179. it would have been a lot better to give it a $50-$70 price drop and not offer movies, since most people tend to look directly at a products price, rather than what else comes with it. if you get 5 free movies, chances are that they have a selection of like 15 to choose from, so even though you get 5 free movies, they might not really be movies you are completely thrilled about.
if they would have pushed the price do...
"The point is.... after 4 years, you have spent $600 on Xbox 360 and Xbox live. With the PS3, after 4 years, you have spent $600 on PS3 and PSN. So, really if you use the internet for gameplay, the 360 isn't cheaper"
after 4 years, you said the 360 and xboxlive costs $600 and so does the ps3 and psn...but guess what happens to the games you play on your psn after 4 years??? you WON'T be able to play them online anymore!! do you know why?? it is for the same reason ...
okay, so does this guy need a good smacking from the higher up sony execs to keep his mouth shut? lol i mean really, can you seriously make a comment like that when the ps3 network is still in it's early development and DOESN'T offer all of the downloadable stuff that is available on xboxlive? and if xboxlive is "stuck in teh past", then why is sony attempting to copy most of it's popular functions such as achievements, video and movie downloads, in-game friends chat, etc.???
okay, so if revenue for the fourth quarter was $1.16 Billion, a 10% decrease from last year, and this was AFTER taking a $1.2 Billion dollar hit in the fourth quarter for the warranty write-off, then the xbox division is actually NOT bad as everyone is making it out to be.
think about it, this years fourth quarter revenue was down 10% from last year......AFTER taking a $1.2 Billion dollar loss on the extended warranty policy THIS QUARTER...that means that the xbox gaming divisi...
6 reasons why i am starting to get incredibly bored and fed up with this site
1. every other article is about the impending doom of one console or other
2. every other article is about rumored price drops, followed by articles of both confirmed by, and denied by, the console's company...and then denied again....and then another confirmation which is denied!
3. every other article is about stagnant sales, or surging sales, or back to stagnant, or...
hmm, let's think about this...not many games had come out during that time period, the console has been out for a year and a half and sales were weak? wow, that seems absolutely bizarre!! lol
let's see what sales look like when the price drop comes in august, along with Halo3 in September....just like sony fanboys, we can also say "just wait til next month" lol
well, it's good the ps3 is getting this, but please stop making comments on how this will push the ps3 over the 360, because it was actually microsoft and the 360 that had already talked about implementing the functions of a tivo into the 360 through the upcoming IPTV service....this is not something that sony came up with spur of the moment, they are doing this since microsoft is going to have this exact same function on the 360 slated for later this year.....again, microsoft had announced t...
