oblivion does not have exclusive content (its downloadable on the marketplace)....
sonic, oblivion, rainbow six, and fear were all delayed til next year
madden, nba, nhl and marvel all launched late because the ps3 wasn't out yet (not to mention that nba live 07 was cancelled)
stop calling people idiots and check your facts!
but i still want to play blue dragon..... o well, i guess i'll "settle" for gears... or the lost planent demo....
anyhow... this all seems like good news to me.
I hope that viva pinata makes an impact in japan... that game is awesome... also, I've already seen some japanese players with gears of war (they are importing it because its region-free) while I was playing the lost planet multiplayer demo (filled with japanese people so I look at their game tag and compare games and WHAMM there's gears of war)
o, btw... you can't do that whole compare games thing and check gamertag/score/nation on the ps3 or wii... fyi
uh... i thought that the xbox 360 had the highest attach rate??? I think that many people are buying games as well as renting.
god... i remember when the sony fanboys said that buying too many games for a console was a bad thing: http://www.joystiq.com/2006...
but now you are saying that renting games and not buying is a bad sign???
next you will say that p...
Sony did tout Resistance as a 1080p game.. and yes DJ, a game doesn't count until it is released... remember Fable? remember all the wonderful things it was supposed to do? and then it didn't do them... its called hype, and everyone does it. Remember how the 360 was supposed to work as a dvr?? then it turned out that you needed a windows media center to do that... remember when the ps3 was supposed to have dual hdmi???
This is why you don't count your chickens until they ha...
GT-HD isn't even out yet... so you can't quite say that it was the first 1080p game... remember when resistance was supposed to be 1080p?? You cannot call a game a 1080p game prior to it going gold because developers will make all sorts of claims and then they might change some. So, yes, splinter cell:DA came out prior to the ps3 launch and thus was the first 1080p game on the "console" market...
just think how many 1080+ games there have been on pc though... man, i...
which dollar are they using?? american or aussie??
This game may revolutionize the RPG world... it really is nex gen!!
a price drop would destroy sony and chip away a little at nintendo
do some many people think the 360 launched at 500 dollars?? it launched at 400....
Apparently M$ is addressing the issue!!! Public outcry has not fallen on deaf ears:
"[UPDATE] The official story: A Microsoft representative issued the following response to the matter:
"'A small percentage of consoles (less than 1 percent) were affected by the Fall Update. An updated version of the Fall Update was made available on Xbox Live on November 1 which eliminated issues relating to new or refurbished consoles malfunctioning after applying th...
you'd have to sell like 10 ps3's on ebay to afford both of those computers
its more like much less than 1%.... the "official" forum thread that they cite only has around 20-30 postings (not all were complaints though)
if you go to the "technical issues" forum here:

none of the postings even deal with this problem that is being claimed as widespread.
if the investigation that they are spearheading tu...
its not quite there yet...

this article fails to consider that through those 4 weeks the 360 continued to sell
However, one more release of systems should put the ps3 up above the xbox 360
it seems to be a very small percentage of users that are afflected... as in <<1%... I actually had someone come into my store and say that his 360 was freezing but the new patch stopped it.
I think what a lot of people fall back on is comparing 360 launch to ps3 launch... which is justified in some ways but unjustified in others... To a fanboy/reviewer stance it can be justified in that this is how you can accurately gauge how the systems might compare... however, to the average consumer, they judge product based on whats available at the time of purchase. Most new xbox 360 users don't care what the launch was like, just what they are offered now... and someone looking to choos...
not sales figures... the number is the rank of sales... "1" being the highest rank...
you keep talking about audio... but HDDVD offers TruHD dolby digital while bluray doesn't... and while bluray does support uncompressed audio the bandwidth cap is set at 1.7 MB/s by dolby while hddvd is set at 3.0 MB/s meaning higher fidelity audio from hddvd...
Plus, many of the OEM (comp manufacturers) are switching from bluray to hddvd (HP for example)
Only one bluray movie makes use of duallayers (50 gb on "click") the rest are all single layer (25 ...
til wednesday... this game looks so cool!!
This game looks so pretty and a "slightly" refreshing battle system... I can't wait for its release
