I'm sorry GWAVE, but we all know which way you lean. At least IGN tries to retain some semblance of fairness, where I don't expect anything like that from you.
Quite frankly, I agree with their opinion, but I give it as much credence as anyone else's opinion, including my own. Everyone's entitled to one. It's just the asstards who think they can distill their opinion down to a universally accepted fact who ruin it for everyone else.
I t...
Oh, I'm sorry. I thought this was a CONSOLE comparison. I don't see PC represented at all in this article. These are CONSOLE exclusives... as in, not on PS3 or Wii.
Seriously, you're like an annoying little kid who keeps correcting the teacher on technicalities. It doesn't make you cool. It just makes the rest of us groan and facepalm.
I find it funny that anyone regards an advertisement as being forced on them in the dashboard. You might have to swallow a Mazda commercial to watch something in Inside Xbox... but that's no worse than what Qore does to PS3 fans. And Inside Xbox is free...
And the true purpose shouldn't be to make money? Damn, you children are naive.
That ads are wonderful? Are those the words you want to put in 360 fanboy mouths?
I don't care for this "if you aren't part of the solution" approach to things. I just don't care about the ads. Ironically, the people complaining about the ads are giving it more thought that I do. My brain is smart enough to ignore ads and get on with things. Why aren't theirs?
OR you could be referring to the fees for Xbox Live. Yes, there is a...
There is something wrong with your head.
No, really. The rest of us just ignore the ads, but the special ed set has to complain about the most inconsequential things.
Of course if you goal is to find something/anything on the 360 to complain about, mission accomplished.
Sure. Microsoft caused FF13 to fail.
How do you figure? No really. Put together a reasoned and intelligent argument and convinces me that going multiplat was what killed this already-trash game. Tell me how splitting into 3 disks destroyed the flow of FF13 and forced it into one long corridor of "Mash A", when several RPGs on 360 never suffered from that problem.
There's always going to be bias. I think the most dishonest thing you can do is pretend you aren't biased.
Here is my very biased look at my year in gaming:
Xbox: A+ for letting me skip songs on Last.fm with my voice
PS3: F-- for nuking my unlicensed controller converter
Wii: Disqualified on account of choking to death on dust
DS: B+ for still playing Chrono Trigger
PSP: B+ for still playing Soul Caliber

Bringing up "It's a Blu-ray player" doesn't automatically win an argument, contrary to popular fanboy opinion.
I've always wanted multiple Xboxes to share content over the local network. I can get to gamesaves on a box across the house.
Why not?
There are a lot of things that existed before in some form, but Microsoft's biggest achievement is standardizing so many of those features, like Achievements.
Yes, they unified because they saw the value in it, and time has proven they were right to do so. The question is, why were they the first to unify like that? Don't you think others wish now they did it first?

Which reminds me, I've been meaning to ask you... does Sony have good benefits?
See, I can play that same impotent card as well...
The above poster is 99% correct.
You could even do 1080p over VGA or Component. It was the TV's that wouldn't accept it, a standard pushed by industry to force adoption of HDMI as a more secure, uncopyable interface. I have a TV that accepts 1080p over anything that can physically carry it, and everything except Composite cables can carry 1080p.
This is a fact.
Also, Sony can't come in after selling "HDTVs" with 720p, ...
Trolling is an arms race, and you know for damn sure Sony plays that game too. Both companies are equally as guilty for turning the community into what it is today.
Lousy game. Crap. But it's easier that most people think to beat it.
Actually, go on Xbox.com and check the forums to find people who thought they could get away with it. It's gratifying to see someone go from a hacked 200,000+ to 0 because Microsoft is smart enough to check their logs for impossible inconsistencies. Then, their card gets branded a cheater for life.
Little know fact: Beating Bomberman Act Zero isn't that hard. 99 rounds, one hit to death, and no saving deters most, but between Hearts and the practically invincible combo of Line-Infinite-Through with max power plus ability to walk through softs and laid bombs... it's just a matter of not getting crushed by blocks during the instant sudden death rounds. And it nets you a significant chunk of points.
I own a PS3. And I'm a notorious 360 troll, depending on who you ask. You on the other hand are a snarky PS3 troll, from your Atari 2600 comment to your PS3 ASCII art. STFU.
Keep telling yourself that.
Meanwhile, I don't care how it looks. It still doesn't raise one iota of interest in me to play simulation racing or any other blue-balls inducing genre. I'd much rather play Need for Speed before I waste my time on something like this. I'd rather play Kinect Joy Ride. At least that could be fun.
I've only seen one immutable reason for choosing one console over another. Controller preference.
