Zip codes are postal codes.
"The ZIP code is the system of postal codes used by the United States Postal Service (USPS). The letters ZIP, an acronym for Zone Improvement Plan,[1] are properly written in capital letters and were chosen to suggest that the mail travels more efficiently, and therefore more quickly, when senders use the code. The basic format consists of five numerical digits. An extended ZIP + 4 code includes the five digits of the ZIP code, a hyphen, and fou...
But the point is that you wanted it. You wanted it for various games, fine. The fact remains that when somebody wants something, regardless of reason, and it is in their means to get it, they will. That's the point. You want something, you get it. No other reason necessary.
This article is kind of pointless. Yeah, those are good reasons (if you are so inclined to be swayed). However, they still don't top the reason I bought my PS3 and my Wii: I wanted one, I could afford it, so I bought one at my earliest convenience. If you want something and it is within your means to acquire it, then you don't need any more reason than that.
Wow. I don't know about the "hottest" part; I would definately agree to the "palest" part if they had said that. So maybe they mean she is the "Hottest" girl who plays games like the stereotypes would have you believe. And even then, no.
But a year and a half ago, N4G hated good PS3 news, and bad 360 news. Times change and karma's a b!tch.
Wow. I am so surprised. Something gets cheaper, it sells better? Who would've thought? I guess just ANYTHING is possible now. Who knows, maybe somebody will post if they discover the sky is blue, or grass is green, or water is wet. Crazy times.
I guess people misunderstood what I was going for. I know that there waas eventually going to be a base where the nuclear weapons were held. What I'm saying is a disappointment is that once you get to the base, you no longer have to infiltrate.
I don't know really about this generation so far, but for me the biggest disappointment was MGS3. And I don't mean the camera or controls. I mean the scene where you overlook the base where the Shagohod is being built and the camera sweeps over the entire base and I don't know about anyone else, but I thought, "Holy Sh1t! All that jungle stuff was just a prelude to the base infiltration!" I figured that the game would then revert back to something like the original MGS and instead y...
Sony has good reason to be confident; They are outselling a lower-priced competitor in direct competition with them. I do think that a price cut would help them. Not all the way down to $199, but if they dropped it to $299 it would go a long way to improving sales. Also a renewed ad campaign playing up all the capabilities of the PS3 would help, plus an emphasis on LBP would help at fall.
That cannot be determined. While those intelligent consumers will understand the hidden costs of upgrading the Arcade SKU, a lot of consumers, especially during the holidays, price will stand out. However the negative word of mouth that has been built up around, again, this is referring to the average consumer, will still linger in their mind. At this point, it could go either way.
Burnout.
EDIT: I guess I misunderstood the concept of "required" and "full experience". The HDD is REQUIRED to get the FULL EXPERIENCE in playing Burnout on Live. I thought that was one of the biggest selling points of the 360? Live is so much better than everything else, right? So if I can play online on my PS3 without anything extra and you need a HDD to play online on the 360, how does that make the HDD not required for Burnout?
EDIT2: I a...
Actually, it is the best as it is the only one with a internet connection so it can be upgraded with firmware updates. And an article from 6 months ago? That's pretty weak. A lot can happen in 6 months.
And Japan still won't buy it. The 360 has been cheaper than the PS3 and around the price of the Wii for a while now (outside of the US)and it hasn't helped. So I fail to see how a price cut in the US will affect sales in another territory. Care to explain that one?
EDIT: Why the disagrees? Can anyone tell me how a price cut in one territory relates to sales in another one?
Unfortunately, it is quickly becoming "most games" and not all games. There are games already that require the hard drive or are limited by a lack of hard drive. It will only continue.
Maybe you've been on Live too long, but the 360 has been outsold by both the Wii and the PS3 this year so far in every territory. The Wii isn't so surprising as the Wii is selling ridiculously. What is surprising (and alarming to MS) is that a higher priced competitor is outselling them consistantly. So the last place console is the 360.
Point, still missed. So some specialty stores went out of business due to lack of diversification. Also, DD was only a factor and not the primary factor. Another major factor is retailers like Walmart and BestBuy and CircuitCity were doing much better business than those music stores were. Those were thr retailers I was referring to with the large floor space devoted to CDs. Nice try though. :( = U.
Your numbers are garbage. Also, for the era, disc changes were commonplace, hence why it was accepted. In this generation the only console that needs disc changes is the 360. Regardless of what you fanboys might think, having multiple discs is a liability, especially when the game is multiplatform and is only on one disc on the other platform. Carmack said it himself: The PS3 version will be better because MS charges for multiple discs and they won't pay for it. And because of that, the quali...
Way to miss the point. Granted, Itunes and other methods of DD have become the primary way to get music for most people. However, Plenty of stores have large amounts of floor space devoted to CDs. If DD was really as mainstream as some people claim it is, more retailers would be downsizing the amount of floor space the devote to CDs, not keeping it the same.
You are so wrong it's sad. DD or another format will not over take Blu Ray. I say this for two different reasons.
1) The necessary benchmarks for DD to become the prefered method have not and are not being met. And before you try to argue one bullsh1t or another, CDs are still sold in stores even though DD for music has met the benchmarks required to make it mainstream.
2). Blu Ray is starting to pick up steam. HD-DVD is dead and people (regular people, not techn...
I wonder how many Too Human apologists are going to ream this thread, saying stuff like, "Who cares what he thinks; He hates every game anyway." Or, "He isn't funny anymore." Or, "This guy is getting old. LAME." While you could argue that this fad of his is getting a little stale sometimes, considering that his reviews are essentially comedy performaces and the quality of material can vary, this one is still pretty damn funny.
