CRank: 5Score: 5300

Just last week they said the price difference between 360 and PS3 will steal a lot of business away from Sony this holiday. So what about the price gap between 360 and Wii?

In reality Wii is hurting Microsoft far more than it is doing to Sony. PS3 managed to at least sell 1/2 the Wii sales at 2 1/4 times the price. Microsoft on the other hand has been outsold 5 to 1 by the Wii so far in 2007. 360 sales have cooled down dramatically compared to the same period last year from Jan...

Bubbles to MK Red

Exactly what I thought when I saw the pic. Nice rip off maybe they can sell a few thousand of these to poor little kids who have no idea this is a cheap knockoff without the good titles to play on.

Still beats selling fake Mexican 360s for a living.

If your game looks like a crappy clone and has no real appeal to it then your best bet is to add some headline grabbing scandalous items such as explicit sex, grotesque violence, drugs and any combination of these to lure mindless zombies into buying your stuff.

Note to self: Must transfer all pirated movies onto one disc.

Well you might as well skip MGS4, Final Fantasy and a million other games that use such style of presentation.

Did the reviewer try to learn the different stances?

Maybe his frustration came from the fact that he tried hack/slash tactics and got killed quite frequently.

what is the point of a slow ass moving megaton tank in a multiplayer game?

Aside from the one or two hours I will get a kick out this thing when I play the game, I dont see any point in using this as meaningful tactic. Yep it's huge and visible from a mile away ie sitting duck. The Brute chopper seems like a more ideal vehicle for multiplayer game.

Fanboys keep you rant to youself. I am talking about the effectiveness of such a tank that's all.

Godfather disgrace made by EA. Sorry but this genre is already too heavily polluted by the same style and time period. I am bored too death with these half ass GTA clones. The original Mafia was a good game 5 years ago but today the the market for 1930's era gangster games is saturated. Too much similarity in visual style and theme. Please make something new that hasn't been touched before instead of sequels that show up 5 years later.

Nice to see HD-DVD get some love but still the big heavy hitters are coming on Blu-Ray this fall. Transformers was nice but nothing close to box office record shattering giants like Spidey and Captain Jack. Paramount will probably end up releasing all these exclusive once the 18 month agreement is over. By that time PS3 install base will be around 20 million and no way any studio can ignore the potential of such a big market.

Not trying to start fanboy warfare but this is a blow to investors because the gaming division has been operating for 6 years now and 2-3 more years means 10 year investment without any profits. Sorry but if they had shown this kind of forecast back when they decided to create a console division, I bet no one would have signed up for it. By 2010, the current gen should be coming to a end and Microsoft may once again try to hit the market before the competetion. So in short they mean our next ...

before he allows this moron to rape his life's work. No way this will happen Sony Pictures isn't stupid to screw one the biggest gaming franchise around. Especially since Sony is using this movie as leverage against Konami to keep MGS4 a PS3 exclusive. If a movie is being made then I pretty sure Mr. Kojima will take the helm of director as he is already making a game that has some many cinematic influences.

Please once you have seen a movie on a 50 inch plasma in full 1080P you will know the difference. It is something you cannot deny or even pass off as gimmick. HD is the wave of the future and soon it will become mainstream and genuinely there is a need for for higher storage optical media. Some companies have already begun work on Quad HDTV (3840 x 2160). So the market is rapidly changing and High Definition is here to stay.

Tommy boy watches wrestling but gets offended by Bioshock. Sweet what's next heetseeker.com is approved by Jack but Halo 3 is bad for kids?

Popular Science magazine did a whole issue on this stuff about 5 years ago. They said this technology will replace all image display technology such as TV, monitors, cinema projection, handheld display and will become the standard method of projecting images in 3 dimensional space.

The warthog in the Bungie update is only part of the short documentary style film Neil Blomkamp is making. This was confirmed at E3 when that short clip was shown to thew audience with the warthogs going through assembly line and soldiers preparing for combat montage. It was confirmed by several hollywood outlets last year that the Halo movie was in fact shelfed because Microsoft could not reach a agreement with 20th Century Fox on the license and revenue sharing between both.

The "sim" cannot and does not have self awareness to discover it's own existence in a virtual world. This would be a paradox in which the "sim" is more intelligent than the sums of the entire simulation.

In simple terms Mario one day realizing he is an imaginary creature and discover that you have been controlling him all along. Nope when any simulation environment is created mathematically it is greater than it's individual parts.

For exampl...

Some of this stuff sounds awesome to me. Nectar overdose, grenades, play dead, shoot nectar pack. This game is quietly shaping up to be a very good and deep game this holiday season. I can't wait.

is that this is a huge blow to people who bought the core. Don't make excuses or flawed logic like "go buy a HDD" because that is wrong.

Why?

Core model: $299.99
HDD: 99.99
Wireless controller: $49.99
Component HD AV Cable: $39.99
Wired Headset: $24.99

Total cost of upgraded 360: $514.95
Total cost of Pro 360: $399.99

That is how much people are expected to pay to match all the accessories...

This could really take off if people are allowed to make small Java games for arcade. I knew they were aiming for this kind of stuff when they showed the bowling alley and mini arcade. Basically they will setup a few games to kick things off and soon players will create their own games. Very good idea since Java is pretty simple to program even I could make a decent game.

that' all I can tell. PS3 looks like brightness is set to high and contrast is low. 360 is darker deeper nothing more.
