i think an external Blu-Ray drive is a great idea.

would i buy it? not a chance in hell. but there would be potentially millions who would. being external has a few advantages.

1. it cant be used to play games, meaning it doesnt segment the user base.

2. people that bought a 360 any time over the last 6 years of the consoles life can buy one and use it with no problems.

3. it can be used with the next xbox as well, and means ...

after IGNs 9.5/10 for Resistance 2, im taking their Resistance 3 review with a grain of salt. Resistance 2 was, quite frankly, terrible - yet they gave it one of the highest scores of all games this generation.

its funny that the PS3 fanboys are still playing the 'PS3 is outselling the 360 worldwide' card, even though in 2011 its NOT.

from both Sony and Microsofts official figures for sales in 2011, the 360 has sold something like half a million MORE consoles WORLDWIDE than the PS3 has. these are direct from Microsoft and Sony.

the 360 will have a HUGE last few months of the year with Halo Anniversary, Gears of War 3, Forza 4, along with MW3 and its bundles....

PS3 looked better in some, 360 in others IMO. the 360 seems to have the edge in AA, which is probably why it looks slightly blurrier than the PS3 version.

in the IGN VIDEO review (they dont mention it in the text version, so watch the video if you dont believe me) they stated that the PS3 version performs noticeably worse than the 360 version, so you have to take that into account. ill take the version with less screen tearing and a better framerate, while looking 99.99% the ...

wow, this is so full of misinformation its not funny.

1. "More interesting, perhaps, is that games designed for the system from the ground up are capable of playing at a native 1080p resolution. No upscaling here, folks, just natural, high-definition glory."

well out of all the dozens of exclusives for the PS3, is only a SINGLE one of them that is actually native 1080p - MLB 09 The Show (and no im not counting god of war origins, its a PSP game - it...

i actually think kinect could be implemented into rock band pretty easily and well - just use it to track your body so you can 'rock out' around the place and have your character mimic you on-screen. obviously it wouldnt be used to actually hit notes.

little things like that add to games without forcing kinect down your throat.

this takes the cake as the comment section where it is blindingly obvious that the least amount of people actually read the article lol. out of all the comments on here i only saw a SINGLE one mentioning that the article was a joke!!! lol

it is 100% a joke article. here are the reasons why he chose uncharted 3 as being better:

1. Nathan Drake's hair
2. The Medal titled "Drake's on a Plane"
3. The Female Announcer

this isnt really that similar to the wii U controller.

did any of you actually look at the pictures in the patent and read the description?

this controller ONLY works by aiming the new controller at the TV - it then recognises that youre looking at the game thats being played on the TV (via the camera obviously) and then can add things on to the screen on the controller that arent displayed on the TV.

you cant have a picture on the TV and a ...

in reality there is no NEED for new hardware at this point. i sure as hell WANT a new generation of hardware, but its not actually needed.

think about it - the MAXIMUM resolution available for TVs to the public is 1080p. the maximum resolution for the 360 and PS3 is 1080p (although barely any games can reach that resolution). now when was the last time a generation launched with the same maximum resolution as the last one? never, thats when.

the next generati...

i might buy one if the price is right and the build quality is good.

ive used PS3 controllers from day one of the original playstation - ive even got the "rare" Dual Analog controller, which was MUCH better than the Dual Shock in every way apart from having rumble (obviously). it had bigger "handles, concave tops on the analogs, bigger L2/R2 buttons, and was heavier/more sturdy.

for those that have never used one, thats it on the bottom:

yeh they sold 5 last week instead of the usual 1 lol.

just kidding, but also not really - 400% is great, but 400% of "not many" is still "not many". we dont sell many consoles here in australia. the price was a HUGE obstacle for many people here, as like someone else said, it was $1000 at launch. up until this launch, it was still $550-$599. the price drop was to $349, but as soon as one shop - big W - bypassed that and dropped it to $298, everyone else ha...

lol how did this get approved?

theres NO free DLC in it. as someone above said, the online car dealer just has cars that are available in the used car dealership. the only difference is you dont have to wait for them to come up randomly like you do in the used car dealership.

no good games? havent been playing games long have you?

the SNES game was awesome, as were the first 2 megadrive games. the PS lost world game was also pretty great.

this wasnt what i was expecting at all, pretty disappointed and i will not be buying it.

but the PS3 fanboys *should* love it, since its a dead ringer for Heavy Rains "gameplay".

5408d ago 4 agree6 disagreeView comment

you PS3 fanboys do realise that the 360 has been able to play games in 3D since the exact same day that the PS3 could, dont you?.........

this is just adding the option to turn it on and off AS A WHOLE. at the moment if youre playing a game like Crysis 2 or Virtua Tennis, you have to go into the game and then turn on 3D mode. with this, the console knows that you have said you want to play in 3D, so it will default 3D capable games to play in 3D.

again - this...

Like you say, a season pass is great if you know what you're going to get.

With gears 3, for example, we know BEFORE the game is even out that the "season pass" will cost 2400msp, will get you 4 DLC packs, and will save you 30% of the cost of those 4 separate packs. That's excellent because you can decide if it's worth it well in advance.

I know I'll buy it on day 1, and that's on top of me paying $200 AUS for the epic edition A...

its not surprising for anyone that actually has any idea about game development.

Rage is HUGE on disc because of megatextures - thats the ONLY reason. id, for better or worse, literally draw the entire map - every single square cm of it is unique. every other game uses repeated assets/textures.

now neither method is "wrong", just different to each other. i mean, do you notice or care if the ground texture isnt unique in every cm of a level? i dont....

"couldN'T care less".

if you COULD care less it means that you care to begin with. if you COULDN'T care less it means that you dont care at all, so you cant possibly care any less.

why do americans in particular have such a problem grasping this saying?

well isnt this just a HUGE contrast in terms of comments to any of the "PS3 is now hacked" articles from a few months back?! lol

back then it was "ALL HACKERS ARE EVIL!!!! PIRATES MUST DIE!!!!", yet now that its the 360 instead of the PS3 its "hahaha suck that microsoft! Hackers are awesome! nothing wrong with hacking a console that you own!".

fecking hypocrites.

they dont though, as the article says. 3DTV only.

ive been told by many people on this site that the 360 cant do 3D though...... what is this sorcery?

5414d ago 11 agree3 disagreeView comment

i dont care if the 360s successor doesnt have blu-ray. why? because my PS3 plays blu-rays and I have no interest whatsoever of even watching a movie on blu-ray on it.

the next xbox will hopefully come out at christmas 2012, with an announcement/unveiling at e3 2012. i hope it doesnt use optical discs, id rather it used memory cards. if it has to use optical discs, i want it to be like PC where it fully installs the game and runs entirely off the HDD.
