Yea your a first, a neutral good hearted opinion in the open zone :)
Microsoft was juggling like what was it 5-6 OS's up until 2006 I believe when support for 95/98/00, etc were terminated. 3 really isn't that much in comparison.
Might want to wait for NPD numbers before you making any drastic decisions to your portfolio.
According to VG Chartz, Mk vs. DC Universe should have been in the top 10 NPD for Novemeber, unfortuently it wasn't even in the top 20. (Sold like 130k ish on the 360 with around 100ish on the PS3)
Why is it I always hear the media reporting such horror stories regarding sending a 360 in yet I have yet to experience any of the horrors?
It's really something they should teach you at school to be honest, when ever tech support gives you any sort of issue for what ever it is, be it a cell phone bill or in this case a Xbox 360, get a hold of the manager! 99.9% of the time you won't be turned away without what you need.
Someone should tell him Physical Media refers to everything from your grandfathers Vinyl records to your Blu Ray disk collection.
Their was a ! in the original post but one of the reports made me remove it.
I can't speak on behalf of Microsoft, just on behalf of my computer programming skills. It's hard stuff trying to patch a line of code, at times a single variable change can lead to 100s of "corrupt" lines and so on. (Unfortunately, I've had experience)
All I can say is it's a good thing no one else found out :p
Jenzo: You obviously have no idea has to what your talking about, try selling a movie or tv show you just bought from the XBLVM, PSN, Vudu, etc and see how well that goes.
Blu Ray propaganda? Hunh, you obviously have no idea has to what Physical Media really is.
Why would I write an article about this?
I agree, people especially on N4G can be complete jack asses, but this isn't the best example to use though. They still had a "official" statement to latch onto, it's still more than anything regarding "PS3-Gears".
Metal Gear has been on other console platforms before, Gears of War not so much. The Metal Gear 4/360 articles were started by a interview with Kojima, these "GOW3" articles never started with Cliff but with Patcher and other no name blogs looking for hits.
If Cliff comes out tomorrow and says "Gears and the PS3 are a cool fit" then by all means post away, but if your just speculating out your ass.....
More info please???
This is only for Spain
I think Armageddon was more of a Nostalgia thing to say "Hey thanks for sticking with us all these years, here's a treat". I'm actually picking up Mk vs DC tomorrow as well, according to Midway the sales are good so who knows.
On a gamers standpoint, yea! On a average consumers standpoint, not so much.
Now that the court case has been settled it's definitely something they could be doing. Perhaps that "better then Gears" game is Psi Ops 2???
It may have helped your case if you read the article rather then basing your assumption off the title alone. Oh wait, this is N4G.....
I can confirm this issue since my Xbox did this as well (A RROD replacement) but Microsoft replaced it free of charge (Got it Day before Halo 3 :)). Unlike this guy I wasn't stupid, the moment I heard a grind on my Bioshock disk I sent it in. This guy for some reason waits until 3 of his disks are totaled before doing anything.....wtf?
The church scene was pretty funny :)
