Well people can call me an "xbot" or make any conclusion they like about me "defending" my point of view, whatever makes them feel better, hey its the internet but it doesn't mean that the info I'm providing isn't legitimate.
IGN:
"To Microsoft's credit, the 3% to 5% return rate is more information than Nintendo or Sony would share and the company has always been open and forthright with IGN, as we've seen in recent interviews with Peter ...
Wireless Wheel is Waiting.........
Well see thats just my point exactly, M$ has said publicly that the failure rate of launch 360's was "higher than expected" and they have said they are fixing the issues, of course consoles outside of the initial launch consoles break too, but even when you google stories about 360 failure rates, almost all of them are related or refer to consoles they were sold during the launch period or soon there after, (1 yr or more ago) -of course a brand new one might break also but the perce...
First of all I think these are two great consoles (damm, I know some have already disagreed) -lol, I own them both, not to impress anyone here but because I like them both, I do favor my 360 but I also try to be as unbiased as possible (I'm still biased). I tried to stay out of this whole 1.3 TrueHD thread because when I read the first news about PS3 not fully supporting it honestly I didn't think it was a big deal. -I still don't (how many actually have the setup to take advantage of it, an...
Firewire there was a discussion about a month ago on N4G forums, specifically concerning how "Consoles Zealots are Ruining N4G". -One particular area of concern within that forum was that while this is a site for opinions, unfair and biased rants accompanied with name calling hurts this site. I remember you complaining about the negativity and wondering why there was a lack of respect for other members opinion. Here, just in case you have forgotten I encourage you and other member...
The Mart is over-reacting but Iam wondering if XxZxX has played both versions for himself, I have played the demo on my 360 and it was really good, and also its well known that 360 users who want to play online have to pay a subscription fee, its not like this game is going to cost you more to do that, yes PC online is free but its also a different environment than XBL....which is why some are willing to pay the subscription fee so that ALL their games can be enjoyed on XBL.
No consumer should have to deal with a broken product. M$ has admitted higher than normal failure rates in the launch consoles. -Honestly I think that they rushed early consoles to make sure they made the launch date....but they have indeed admitted they had a problem, they have also taken steps to fix it (better QC in manufacturing process) and helping consumers who have problems (extended the warranty). None of this excuses having defects in the first place, and this is a significant iss...
"....Major Nelson, a well known XBox PR outlet",
-Oh so he's "hyping M$'s descision to go with 512 MB RAM chip in the 360....uhm well lets just say for the sake of arguement they only did it to please Epic so they would make Gears. -It seems to have been a good descision either way. Oh BTW and M$ wants to profit for that descision, can you BELIEVE that? -Yeah games are more expensive on both consoles but next gen development isn't cheap either. The Elite, DLC...
It will be interesting to see how close they can get the ingame graphics to look anywhere near these pics. I wonder how long it will be before they give us a taste of ingame vid stuff? -Great concept stuff though.
Well I think those car pics looked pretty good, yeah I would say the car in the GTHD demo looks slightly better but hey this game is great for what it does and it will be here soon..I can't wait...."It's Phoenix For-Za win!"
BD sold 80k at launch and I think its around 180k now, I'm not sure but either way considering how poorly 360 sales are in Japan this game was a significant boost, the majority of Japanese 360 owners brought this game...in fact its probably the reason alot of them even gave the 360 a chance.
Oh this is from a blog of an ex-employee, via the inquirer....makes sense....hmmm well I never met Bill but I never knew he was a Bully, last I heard he's trying to take a big step back from day to day company operations, -strange doesn't sound like a guy who's obsessed with the evil power of being a Bully, but hey you never know either way its clear some people hate him for being so wealthy, -its funny how the same people never mentions any of the good things he's done and all the charity he...
"That was without doubt the most boring video i have ever seen on N4G."
-Well would it really matter what the video looked like, every comment I've read from you related to M$/360 is negative and extremely biased so why would we expect THIS trailer to impress you at all? -Afterall, its no GT and its not on the PS3, right?
As far as the graphics go, honestly they look pretty good to me, and I just like the idea of all the custimization and car tuning yo...
WOW...I'm not a big RPG fan but I don't know maybe I'm getting soft in my older age, I usually go for realism in graphic's, -now that doesn't mean I don't think gameplay is just as important or more, I just prefer realism over cartoon style and although I'm still not in love with the whole turn based fighting style, this game does have alot of appeal.
-Damm, I have a strange way of saying I like a game, OK so I'll just say what I really mean and spare you guys my life story; ...
Well excuse me, although I wouldn't say this is "earth shattering" news for the 360, I still think its pretty good to be only 7,000 behind the brand "new" PS3 since basicly it was their launch (23-31st March) sales numbers and 8,000 behind the still very popular Wii....BTW I think Wii would have had a bigger lead if it was more readily available, why do people conveniently forget that, err well its Ninty's own fault they should have fixed supply issues by now. Australian...
Hacking hurts the industry but hey that's life, anyway I thought the 360 had already been hacked about 6 months after it was released? -at least I remember reading a article about it. I suppose you can never really stop anyone determined enough to hack a product, I think 360 will still do fine.....I guess it will always be a battle to at least make it harder for hackers, obviously this will void your warranty but it seems as if their is some risk of being banned from Live also. I like how t...
Well I said it was all about marketing yesterday and although I never believed that SC: C couldn't be done on PS3....I still find this news just as comical, its a comment from someone on a "ps3forum" saying it was mis-translated, maybe it was and hopefully we will see a accurate translation from a source that's a tad bit more official....hell why not use one of the comments from the N4G post yesterday and post it as news and then the link doesn't really help at all, unless you read ...
OK, I put a small statement at the top so everyone can clearly see who made these comments....orginally I just cut & pasted the qoutes as they are now so I'm not sure why it was reported as bad editing also I'm not sure what specifically was reported as bad spelling, since again I only cut & pasted the headline and qoutes from the original article and I think it makes sense when read on N4G....oh well, if there's something else I need to fix let me know what specifically the problem i...
Well it did indeed win awards from last years E3 with sites like IGN awarding it for most innovative design and best graphics technology and many many other sites did pick it for best overall game. I'm well aware that Uncharted was not ready at that time but I'm just saying Mass Effect has won awards....
