"The snag, of course, is that today's HD DVD players will be incapable of reading the new disc, which is something of a problem for early adopters, who will presumably have to buy new kit. Toshiba last week positioned the new disc as an "extended capacity, high-end option"."
That's quite a snag there. "Well our old systems won't support the new format." Hahahahahaha.
You people who say, "who cares it is only $100 more" are just ignorant.
You are probably the people who say PS3 is sooooo expensive. Well it was only $100 more than 360 Premium, so "who cares it is only $100 more".
Plus, on top of that, you seem to completely ignore the fact that MS lied. They convinced people the core would play all games, so people who are only into games, bought that system. Now MS is like, well you need it for some game...
Agreed. Pretty dumb advertisement, they should feel lucky it got banned.
The PS2 defect rate was < 5%, which is acceptable for technology.
360 rate is near 33%.
Please don't even act like this is the same type of situation.
are you guys stupid? can you not read?
"got the gold master candidate right before we went to press, and played that version for a few hours to confirm that they had addressed the issues."
They confirmed that the bugs and controls were fixed before publishing. Therefore they did not print their review based on unfinished code.
Damn you guys are ignorant.
OMG 80GB PS3 JUMPED OVER 6000%!!!!!!!
Seriously, that 1000% "rank" increase doesn't mean it is selling 1000% percent more.
If one week 360 sold 100 systems and PS3 sold 99 systems. Their ranks would be 1 and 2 on amazon list. If next week 360 sold 100 systems and PS3 sold 101 systems. The ranks would be 2 and 1. This would be a 100% increase in sales rank for PS3.
So, that number doesn't necessarily mean anything. The 80gb PS3 sales ...
Didn't the 360 fans say this was only going to be a 2-3 day spike?
From Them:
"You won’t see different times of day per city because this involves recreating all the textures again (one for day and one for night). Whilst this wasn’t a problem for our dev team, it was a problem fitting all this data onto a single DVD."
Obviously their original intentions were to have different times of day available for each track. They don't have this in the final version.... so yes, they did leave some things out due to disk space.
Too bad it is not that simple. That's why you only see this on certain types of games.
@ktchong
Well first off, VGChartz says 3.89 while the real number is 4.48. So the PS3 is selling faster than the 360 did in the same time period.
But the big thing is the 360 had a full year without ANY competition. That included a full holiday season where nothing but the 360 was available.
The PS3 has had 2 competitors the whole time.
What? Xbox 360s lineup has a better lineup this fall, winter? Ha.
And to your edit. "Above their budget"? That would mean they are spending more than they originally planned, use the right words because you don't make sense.
But anyways, you are full of crap. Their gaming division lost 1.28 billion in 2006 and 1.89 billion in 2007. If you think they projected to lose more money in 2007 than 2006, you need to think again.
I think it's funny when people say... oh you can't afford $4 a month for xbox live.
The point is.... after 4 years, you have spent $600 on Xbox 360 and Xbox live. With the PS3, after 4 years, you have spent $600 on PS3 and PSN. So, really if you use the internet for gameplay, the 360 isn't cheaper. And you get a lot more for your money with PS3. If you want the same things on the 360 that PS3 has for free... HD-DVD add-on - $200... wireless adapter - $90. That puts you at ...
Ya no crap, I can't stand these idiots with the logic like "Mine works so that means there is no problem."
The fact is, there were faulty drives produced that scratched discs even without the system being moved.
Here is some education for you since you seem to have no idea what a class action lawsuit is...
Typical class actions involve hundreds, thousands or millions of people who have comparable claims. Class action "certification" permits all claims to be heard in a single trial.
Basically, these guys are suing Microsoft on behalf of everyone who has had this problem, the 5 million would be split up to all customers who had the problem (and took the proper ac...

article B: 50000 views, 200 comments
If the degrees is based on views, then A would be higher even though B had more comments. That's just my guess.

It's on their official site. It's not bullsh*t.
SCEA has said this is not true. I told you that you cannot believe what SCEE has to say.

No one said it isn't fair. They said it is stupid. Day by day it was looking like there was going to be an end to the format war, meaning customers would stop getting screwed. Then they go and do something like this and piss off more people.
