2 page article, and no mention of the ONLY feature I'm looking forward to. Anyway all the other stuff barring video resolutions is negligible.
Can you do 8 player party chat in HOME? That's absolutely the only feature I want with HOME as well. I can be online with 7 different friends, and we can all be playing different games, watching different movies, be on the browser etc. and still speak to each other. That's EPIC.
Team speak for the 360 here I come.
Except year over year 360 sales are actually up...
Yes PS3 sales are way higher than last year, but 360 is up, marginally so, but still up.
I won't bore you with the numbers, but check them yourselves. Waining, means to drop, I haven't seen a drop for 360 this year, just slower growth.
Personally I'd rather pirate than feed the Gamespot monster my used game dollars.
Same deal. Probably just a bump, but if the new Xbox Experience hits sooner rather than later, they can ride this wave into GoW2 and Christmas.
In America the sales of both consoles, are in lock step with the dual console owner adoption rate.
I for one, owned a 360 from day one, and got a PS3 after MGS4 (still the only game I want for the console). At he end of the day I have the best of both worlds. As will the majority of gamers. Fanboys miss out, and gamers win.
In truth the one console future would be a relief, but only the price of entry would be affected. I paid $400 twice in order to play the game...
Love Bungie, but they're just as tired of Halo, as I am of it. I can only hope a fresh dev will breathe new life into this great IP.
Could not have said it better. Both HD consoles are great buys... just wish I had more time to enjoy them both.
Cheering for one over the other, is not a good way to foster, the games we core gamers want.
If PS3, and 360 fans continue to refuse to purchase the console with the GAMES they like. Both will suffer. If you want to play Dead Rising, get a 360, if you want MGS4 get a PS3.
Well there are two ways to do this. The way I did it, over 300 different pieces of DLC, took me a couple of minutes. I started to re-download everything then realized this was retarded, and used the tool correctly.
When prompted to sign into live, log off Xbox Live and back on using your 360. Then the tool does the rest.
Que? Well everyone has their definition of too long.
Anyway it took me 3 minutes, once I understood what to do. The instructions need some work. What the writer did is incorrect.
I did it that way too, at first, and then realized all I needed to do was go to https://live.xbox.com/signu... and follow the instructions to the letter.
Don't start ...
about E3, NPD or anything really. If you're a gamer, and you were thinking of getting the Wii, you would have one already.
The Wii is absolutely casual, very little hardcore left.
I'm sure the fans can wait for Mirror's Edge, LBP, and Resistance 2. This is just the tip of the Sony Iceberg.
MS has nothing to counter any of the big hitters, save Gears of War 2.
I just picked up my PS3 July 4. MGS4 did get me to buy it, but I've only been able to play it for a couple of hours :(.
SO far I like Uncharted a lot more than MGS4.
Now lets be honest, FFXIII may have been the MEGATON of the show. Resistance 2 looks out of this world, LBP will be good fun, but what has me stoked, beyond any other game or platform announcement, is:
Live Party - 8 friends all in the same chat, in EVERY game. Say goodbye to the griefers, and 12 year old screaming babies. Xbox Live just got a thousand times better. (Provided this is a genuine private chat ala TS)
Sony is always forward thinking, and they always ...
You make a valid point; however 12 hours is pretty damn close to the average this gen, and speaks to a possible proble with the entire direction the industry is taking now.
Ever inflating budgets which deliver very limited gameplay.
AC was a tremendous game. Unrivaled in many, many ways. Although some of the tasks could be tedious, at no time did you HAVE to complete these tasks ad nauseum.
I am very concerned with the state of the industry, when FUN is not the end goal of the game (except for the Wii), where elitism is encouraged, and hype and scores are bought, don't even get me started on the fanboy garbage which is spewed every which way.
In this day and age of Gamefly there is no reaso...
Mass Effect 2
Need I say more.
Until this FW update it consistently freezes when using the browser.
So far so good with 2.41.
Next update PLEASE give me some Flash 9. I would love to run Hulu off the PS3.
2.41 is definitely faster. Icons load quicker. and even the browser seems on point. So far no browser freezes either. This is what I expect every time.
The party system, will revolutionize the way I use the Xbox 360. Up to 8 people in a party, every one doing their own thing, or playing together, or both, or just chatting.
Ideal way to keep in touch with family, provided they all have a 360. Goodbye long distance phone bill. This combined with the MSN integration will make my 360 the communication Hub.
