Considering price drop on Elite will be $50, MS still got plenty of profit left to drop the price on the 360 and push Natal.
A $300 bundle with Natal and maybe even an upgraded hard drive is likely considering 120GB HD probably will start increasing in price as laptop hard drives move to larger capacity.
Wish there was a sequel!
I mean, I paid $10 for it and it hardly was worth that!
Money brings companies (eherrmmm people) togheter!
Infringing patents is one of those things were, you don't realize it until it is too late....
Even if you knew in advance a patent exist and you made steps to ensure you didn't infringe the patent holder can still sue your @ss and win! That is because patents now a days seem to include ideas not just implementation.
I don't think this is good to anyone, but the i4i which ironically sounds like "eye for eye".
It is possible, but is pretty much dependent on the manager or store local policy. Officially it isn't allowed, but a manager can override it.
Most policies can be overridden by store managers if they see fit, but they better be damn able to explain it to the top brass when asked.
Shocking! I know, for fanbois that is!
You know, I never liked Apple product because of three things:
a) elitist
b) trendy
c) over priced
I do however, recognize the great designs choices they make. The experience is practically unmatched. Although the cost is also unmatched!
Where is Thinkpads on the list? I guess Thinkpads are not consumer products, but business. They are almost always at the top in rating by PC Magazine and PC World.
That is a myth!
It's just an issue of resource management. You usually get a fixed amount of resource to work with so do you have more people work on game play or do you have more people work on technical issues?
It is clear that a significant number of developers have come forward stating issues with PS3 development as well a significant number of multi-platform games working better on the 360 even until this day.
You can't ignore that!
A cr@ppy game can come on any pl...
I used Open Office and it isn't even close to Office in usability and compatibility. It has improved over the years, but still doesn't measure up.
I think it is pretty clear what the negative naysayers are trying to do, TROLLING. It is usually the very same people trolling every positive Halo/Microsoft article playing it down.
CoD4 might have the highest user base combined, but still is far behind Halo 3 in unit sales. Halo 3 is consistently among the most played games on Xbox Live.
An ad campaign without an excellent game will not sell 10 million copies to hard core gamers unless you think that crowd is incap...
So, it looks like UK is getting the Japanese Limited Edition, while US get's the lesser Limited Edition (without the soundtrack it seems).
I didn't realize that the multiplayer disc of Halo ODST was just Halo 3 mulitiplayer with all the maps. If so, selling the ODST part cheaper on Games on Demand is ingenious.
I think a great deal of patience is required with Sony, since they almost always release information way to early. How about releasing information about the game when it is ready?
Personally, I get sick of hearing about the castle in the sky and when it finally arrives, there is so much hype that frankly no game can live up to. From there, there is just down hill.
Happened with KZ2... got hyped into buying it. No where near as good as CoD4.
I'm with you. I'm for cheaper games, but one of the reason why games cost more in Europe is in part due to higher wages, higher taxes and better customer protection laws.
In return for that, you get higher cost!!!
I think nothing will come of this and it will just be blip on the radar. So what, you get 10k, 20k, or 100k signatures? When the game sells millions up on millions, that loss of sales is insignificant compared to the benefits of a successful price hike. I ...
.... not only that, but it keeps on selling after 2 years! Now that is long sales legs!!! I wonder what ODST will do?
Halo 3 is selling so well and they can now release it on Games on Demand for a low price and not have retailers eat MS profit. Why release ODST at a low price tag lowering profit.
I'm not saying they should or should not, but the business decision doesn't make sense.
That is actually not true. Game content (and maybe video/music) is shareable on all accounts on the console it was purchased on. Once it moves away from this console it is tied to the gamertag.
Now this would be nice, but avatar clothing seems something that shouldn't be shareable since it is mostly intended for one person to use... .duh.
On the flip side, perhaps he should have read the section that details how he can use the content instead of just assuming things ...
