All of those trailers were GOOD...BUT...Heavy Rain's trailer was GREAT! It captured everything that the game is supposed to be about in less than 2 min. If you couldn't FEEL what the devs are trying to deliver while watching that...then you are DEAD inside. A close second would have to be The Last Guardian. That being said, I will probably purchase each and every title on that list!!!
I don't OWN an XBOX product. But, if I DID...I would have to have a SERIOUS talk with my inner child and tell him to STFU and deal with the fact that he can't have HALO if he has to worry about his system FAILING before he can finish it. As I said...I can't support faulty products no matter WHO makes them. That is a GROWN UP decision that probably makes my inner child CRY!!! He'll get over it!!!*LOL*
So...then the numbers would be true...BECAUSE those "people who had a problem" ACTUALLY represent REAL FAILURES. I don't claim to know the numbers. However, just from being on this site for about 4 months I can see that there is a REAL problem. I don't think that it is as low as 15% because I read about TRUE 360 fans that all have had multiple failures. Is it 54%? Probably not that high either. Saying that. The failure rate is STILL WAY TOO HIGH for a console that has been out for 4...
That makes perfect sense. Unlike trying to justify your purchase with the great games or the 3 year warranty argument. You simply say I have too many games to give up. THAT is why i waited to purchase the PS3 over the Xbox 360. It was not some BLIND FAITH, as some SONY supporters are accused of. It was the fact that I got the backwards compatible 60GB SKU and now I can have the 30+ games that I have on the PS2...the 10 or 15 that I kept from the PSONE era...plus the now 20 or so games that I...
The MAJOR problem is getting the message of exactly what the PS3 is capable of to the consumer and past all of the Xbox 360 mindshare. Although the PS3 has gained some momentum...to the average soccer mom...Xbox is probably synonymous with "game system" at this point. I suspect that as the consumer awareness grows amongst THOSE individuals that the PS3 WILL be SEEN as the valuable machine that it truly is. Even retailers are starting to change their "Xbox 360 is the best value&...
You are right about those products...and many, many more! However, the point of the article is NOT freedom of consumer choices...it is value. That is all. I personally don't think that HALO ODST will be a bad game. It will probably be more of the same greatness that all HALO fans have come to expect. With that said. Is it just a reflex purchase for the HALO fans or is there really some value to this package? That is truly the question for consumers. I respect anybody's decision to "buy w...
You know...I can understand the idea of motivation. I can even understand that there are some aspects of the so-called hip hop culture that are less desirable. However, to blame hip hop and the culture that surrounds it for the downfall of morality is just like blaming videogames for lack of motivation. The only way that a culture can have ANY effect on the youth is if it is NOT policed by their parents. SO...once again we are back to the root of it all. Parents must make the "hard choic...
Well...it could be worse...you could be in KC with us Chiefs fans...rebuilding...AGAIN...an d AGAIN...and AGAIN!!!*LOL* I FEEL your pain!!!
Well...though I understand what you are saying. I can't say that I disagree. We are bombarded with this on a constant basis. The estate of Elvis Presley has made MORE MONEY since he has been dead then when he was alive. Michael Jackson's estate will probably eclipse that within 10 years. Peddling a dead man's image (and music) is the reason why John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, etc. can remain viable as musical legends. Yes, if they were simply taking Cobai...
Another rule...just to ADD to yours. You might want to READ the agreement before you sign!!! That is IF Courtney Love CAN read!!!*LOL*
First off, let me start by saying that I am NOT an Xbox 360 owner. However, I have been keeping an eye on this particular situation because I think that this could set a precedent for games and devs in the future. I have been thinking the exact same thing that you have stated in your argument. This was NOT coming from a fanboyish perspective, but a CONSUMER perspective. This could possibly set a trend for devs to try to pad their pockets a bit in between their blockbuster franchises. I TRULY ...
If I am CORRECT...Watchdog is like a sensationalist TV show for the BBC. I guess most of the topics have SOME merit...but just like local news at 10 pm in the US...they have these SENSATIONAL titles that boil down to a bit LESS than what is thought in the beginning...you know like "Do You Know What Your Kids Are Eating At School? Find out at 10!!!"*LOL*
I THINK that President Obama would actually AGREE with most of what has been said in this article. He is NOT a man to run around with baseless arguments and his point continues to be ignored and or missed. He has said on MANY occasions that he is not against gaming...for goodness sake his own kids have a Wii. His point is merely that the YOUTH of our country spend more time on entertaining themselves than they do on EDUCATING themselves. It is about PRIORITIES. If they would spend as much tim...
The argument that you make is correct!!! IT is not about FEATURES...it's about VALUE!!! I believe that we, as consumers, get spoiled by tech that comes out and don't give credit to it's VALUE!!! In the 60GB SKU you received groundbreaking tech in the Blu-ray, a large HDD (for it's time), WIFI, HDMI, digital card readers (which I still use today), FREE online service, internal batteries for wireless controllers, 4 USB slots (which I have 3 occupied with a controller, Eye Toy, and MIC), and Blu...
You know...I could care LESS what some over-hyped, overpaid megalomaniac has on his or her agenda every second of the day! This just gives athletes, actors, and company heads more crap to be annoying with. Plus, I still have a problem being a grown azz man who uses the word "tweet" to refer to anything other than bird sounds!!!*LOL*
Courtney Love needs to shut her "HOLE"!!! Seems like every time something like this happens...she cries victim...only for it later to be revealed that she actually knew about it the entire time and is just trying to milk whatever bit extra she can. She should be ashamed of herself for even opening her mouth to say ANYTHING. Maybe she THINKS that she is protecting Cobain's legacy...or MAYBE she doesn't wish to be a footnote in the annals of music history. (which she would be at BEST ...
If you are a FAN of Final Fantasy...this is a MUST HAVE. If you like strategy thrown in with your fighting (like counters, blocking, setting up opponents for specific WIN conditions) THIS is your game. I am LOVING IT!!!
Does Ronald Regan ring a bell??? What about "they hate us for our freedom!!!" What about "Americans need to understand...."--followed by something that GW clearly didn't understand. See...politicians actually DICTATE how we live our lives (on a small scale)by passing bills that eventually come into LAW!!! Obviously, you have some preconceived ideas of what a politician SHOULD do. But, in all honesty...they SHOULD reflect a morally decent, trustworthy, and INTELLIGENT perso...
But wouldn't that have been a CLASSIC soundbite for ALL times. "America...you gotta get your kids to stop playing with their Wii's all of the time!!!"*LMAO*
Courtney Love had, has, and will CONTINUE to profit from Nirvana and Cobain for as long as she can. She has sued numerous times in the name of "protecting" Curt's image, but funny because each time this image came with HUGE dollar signs. I wouldn't doubt if she let this happen on purpose just to further fund her meth habit!!! As for Activision...what do you expect from a product of capitalism? They exist solely to make money. They knew that GH5 would sell. Did they think it would ju...
