I get what you're saying, but you're missing the point. If it is already on there, then it should be available to begin with. I'm not buying "pieces" of the data on the disc. I'm buying the entire disc so I want all the data on it.
I agree with you partially. I think there at two casual gamers. There is the older audience that doesn't see any difference between the systems except the price. But there is the younger audience also. I actually took a test pole in my school (over a thousand kids, only a couple hundred answered). 80% considered thereselves casual gamers, a couple games like yourself. 70% said they would still rather wait for the PS3 and pay a higher price than get a 360 (assuming they were only going to buy ...
This is just like the GTA series for the original xbox. Xbox would get an "upgraded" edition or whatever, but it was virtually the same game. Still, I'm sure the 360 version will have more characters and what not, but I'm also sure whatever extras that are added to that version will be available for download off of Sony's network. Still, it'll cost a few more dollars, but Sega won't care. They're making money regardless. My view is that this decision has less to do with the consule ...
He made valid points, and until one of you can put him in his place with actual facts or another reasonable idea don't same BS BS just because you don't like it. Sony isn't retarded, they got where they are for being smart business people, and just because some of the things they do don't make sense to you, well just think of it like this. Who is a major global company making thousands and millions and billions of dollars, and who is sitting at home saying BS.
He wasn't ripping on MS. He was just saying that he was suprised that MS didn't benifit as much as he thought from Sony's shortages. Secondly, he just said that Sony would fair well. He wasn't insulting any company, or predicting any one consule to win. So people, stop trying to make EVERY article into 360 is better or PS3 is better.
So if people are buying PS1 and PS2 and PSP instead of PS3, you say that their not moving up to Sony's next gen. Umm, then there not moving to MS's either. The fact that they're buying older gens and the hand held show they are willing to wait for a better supply and a lower price. And by that time there will be a ton of selection for games.
If I pay for the disk, I want what is on the disk. I shouldn't have to pay extra for it. Now if the developers create something latter and charge for that, I'll pay for it if I'm interested, but to withold data on the disk that I just spent 60 dollars on is BS.
I'm willing to pay 50 a year for xbox live. However, I think they need to clean it up a bit. I mean it seems to lag and glitch to often for me. I.E. In GOW if it stats lagging the host just dominates. I do like that Sony is free though. But I agree with the free trial for online pay for games with the xbox. Some games just don't impliment the online options well. I know its a small gripe, but why can't I just hit an accept button in GOW like in Halo 2 when I get an invite instead of searching...
Who has the most to gain from giving up on their format. I'd say Toshiba would be more willing because the PS3 audience will build. Anyone check the sales on those HD-DVD add ons for the 360...not so great. It'll bring your xbox 360 up to a 700 price tag, the same as sony, but with the yearly 50, you're paying more. So people with the ps3 already have the next format. Sure Sony has an image crises righ t now, but it has major industry suport from the majority of movie companies. Toshiba won't...
But it got great games down the road. It'll be the same. And it least it had one great launch game in RFOM.
I like the fact that Sony's online is free. Sure, it isn't as polished as MS's, but i'm sure that'll come with time. Besides, how the online feels largly depends on the game. For the original xbox, the only game that I thought utilized it adequatly was Halo 2. As far as the article goes, I agree and disagree with it. 50% of users want online. You can't just ignore that audience. However, you can't just ignore the other 50%. You have to create a solid game that is capable of standing without o...
It's like comparing the Final Fantasy series to the Dragon Quest series. Both have their own strenghts and weaknesses and different people are just going to differ on their opinion of which is better.
I'm not surprised the bundles are selling slow. They aren't great bundles. There is a lack of selection in games. However, they are still selling. And the regular PS3s continue to move steadily. Everyone needs to realize these aren't going to fly of the shelves. It will however continue to sell at a even pace.
I'm busy with school and work, but on average I put down 5 hours a week night, and 6-8 on weekends.
Expansion for free, now that's a bargain. I was wondering if anyone knew more details about the PS3 version coming out. Will it be just like the original Oblivion 4, or will it come with the expansions already included?
Really, it's Splinter Cell. It isn't MGS4, Halo, or GOW.
Why can't I find ANY female gamers in Pitt.
20 hours should be the min for an ultra gamer.
PSP had 5 games compared to the DS's 3. Quality games are coming out for Sony's handheld and more people are taking notice.
I'm not saying so much brand loyalty as reputation. Sony has built a reputation that it has proven over and over again. The Nintendo comparison isn't as strong I'd say. Nintendo has always gone after a different audience, the younger one. The 360 and PS3 go after the same audience. A perfect comparison of the 360 vs. PS3 is the Dreamcast vs. PS2. Dreamcast came out a year early (or later, ... or same; I honestly don't remember) but the Dreamcast was a better machine. Hell, if the developers u...
