Putting things into perspective:
During its Japanese launch, the 360 had an even lower attach rate.
Attach rates are usually measured over a launch window period, and not launch day statistics.
The sales of 2 games aren't taken into account, and the sales of online games aren't taken into account.
Everyone who bought the console to sell on ebay probably didn't purchase games. The people who buy them from ebay will be purchasing games though.
All I know is that we all played games on standard 480i tvs for a long time and we could read the text. If the text is only readable in high definition, that is the fault of the programmers. Going from hd to sd does not mean that everything will inevitably become illegible, and if the software programmers directly address this when making games/web browsers it won't be a problem.
Alright then, I call Clank.
Only 15,000 copies of Resistance were sold I think. I have a feeling that while the Japanese are probably playing more Gundam and RR7, Americans will fill up the games come the 17th.
I'm sure the machinima community will be pretty happy.
All I can say is that it better be damned impressive.
#3.1, because of course if I turn my monitor down from a 1920X1080 resolution to a 640X480 resolution, everything becomes unreadable. Oh my God, I just lowered my resolution. I can't read what I'm typing now. Everything on my computer is a complete blur. I can't even see what web page I'm on anymore.
What's the point of posting this review? I could see the purpose of posting the first couple of reviews, or an aggregate review score, but why are we selectively posting review scores for games?
"Apparently there's also an account registration and payment method screen in with a shopping cart interface in the PlayStation Store, so it's entirely possible full-length downloads might happen in the future, a la Xbox Live Video. But for now, it's all about quick clips and trailers, with no option to buy the big content."
I'm hoping they get some good media soon. If they could get HBO (I love the Sopranos), Lost, or AdultSwim (Great move Microsoft, btw), then I'll...
Wow, that is terrible. First that guy kills that little girl over his xbox, and now this. I can't believe people are this messed up.
Who the hell disagreed with my statement? It wasn't even game related, it's a biological fact.
I don't see how this is related. They changed publishers from THQ to Activision, both of which aren't related to Microsoft. If they had changed publishers to Microsoft than that would mean something.
Could you please give a link that isn't from a Microsoft employee? Also, could you give the links that I asked for, not this other link.
"In this interview, Matt Lee attempts to present a more technical look into the PS3 compared to Xbox360. He is definitely on the development side to things so I assume he holds enough completely knowledge of computer hardware and what hardware means to software. He’s written DopeWars, worked on an MMO for PC called Mythica, and str...
"bullsh!t and u know it" That's exactly how I feel after reading almost all of your posts Nate.
I also see you haven't responded to my response. Typical.
You're a moron if you believe that the devs can't access all the RAM. Your claims are about as dumb as if I was to say that the 360's cpu can't access its RAM because it isn't directly connected to it, and that this necessarily means the 360 will have worse physics, ai, particle effects,etc. And the 360 can't exactly use 512MB of RAM for textures either, there are other things that use system RAM.
I'd also appreciate a link, just one, where a developer makes the claims that t...
Yeah, they could have even made the base thing the power supply. That would have been pretty sweet.
Since when does the ps3 have less memory available for the gpu? Last time I checked they both had 512MB.
And could you give me a link to where a dev actually says that Gears can't be made to run on a ps3 (don't give me the one where the blogger takes the quote from a dev about how it can't run on a 256MB machine and sticks it in after he poses the question to imply that a dev actually said that, when in reality the interview with the dev had nothing to do with ps3).
Awesome avatar, btw. I'm a huge bulls fan. The main reason I'm a Tar Heels fan is because of MJ.
1. Namco has always done this minigames during load screens thing in Ridge Racer
2. Bluray's slowest loading speed is faster than the 360's drive slowest loading speed (DVD is variable read)
3. Installation is an option, and the games still work fine without it apparently, if you don't want to install it then you don't have to
4. Not all games even need the load feature, as I've heard nothing about it in Resistance. Most of it is up to the devs. The best lo...
Someone running Linux on a ps3 still has to go out of their way to buy it and install it. That indicates they might know something about what they're doing. People that open .exe email attachments aren't going to be going out to buy yellow dog linux for their ps3.
