The Elite is a good SKU, but I honestly think it should be $349.99. I mean, all youre really getting is the bigger HDD.
Actually, there isnt a real need for it, with the Pro being a great deal at $300. But I could see the importance of it being a more limited model.
If they arent going to lower the price for the Elite, it wouldnt hurt to throw in another controller, or a free year of LIVE, or even the chatpad and/or the wireless headset (though I like the wired...
Could there be a connection between the dislike/distrust of VGChartz by Sony only folks and the fact that they report sales numbers? You know, those things that dont lie? YEs they are an estimate, but numbers themselves are incapable of spin.
You know, being that VGChrtz is a pretty popular site, you would think that if they were consistently wrong by a longshot with their numbers, they would have been done a long time ago. I wonder how that hasnt happened yet?

stop? Really, Killzone doesnt have the pedigree to even rub shoulders with the likes of Halo, not yet at least.
(Prepares for storm of disgrees)---Even Halo's graphics are superior if you ask me. Textures in KZ2 tend to get muddy as hell, while Halo still has some of the best texture work around. Explosions look better, much better level design, actual variety in the enemy design and weaponry and vehicles. Add the phenomenal HDR lighting that Halo has and its a done deal for ...
Thanks for the advice you guys! I guess I will try to get around to the MP this weekend.
ASAP. Anything that might help the woeful control of this game.
You know, I find it very funny how people defend this game, and its really nothing special. I am desperately trying to like this game, especially as a newer PS3 owner, and its just not doing it so far.
PLay any other shooter...Halo, COD, Gears, FEAR, Vegas, even BLACK...and you will quickly notice how cumbersome the controls are. Take GRAW...that game doesnt control super tight like say COD or Halo be...
Speak for yourself there buddy. I was playing Gears 2 on Day One with no problems. And the controls never needed any tweaking.
everything you said is FAIL. Facts are a hard thing to deal with, huh?
No exclusives in 2008? Are you serious? I know you cant be that stupid.
The rest of what you said is complete garbage. Just like this article.
Lets see...Halo has been arpund since 2001....4 games total that are all quality and make massive amounts of dough. Halo 3 is oe of the fastest/best-selling games in history...
Yeah, I think we will be seeing plenty more of Halo....
That is funny...I just finished playing the Saluman Bridge part, and man is this game frustrating. The grenade launcher also has to be the worst I have used.
Someone else said in a post a couple of days ago like they feel they get kills out of luck more than anything and I couldnt agree more. The bridge is a perfect example of that. The controls are not nearly accurate enough for the type of mayhem going on. I think there could even be a hit detection problem as well.

Great piece of journalism from bsextreme. i dont even bother to read them anymore, because they are always fanboy rants, and then they have the nerve to try and backtrack later and prove how they ARENT fanboys.
This title makes NO sense. I dont care how you try to spin it. Lets go over some facts.
- The 360 already has a bigger install base, and continues to outsell the PS3, widening that gap.
- The 360 consistently sells more SW.
- The 36...
And if you look at GRID vs GT5 (theres a few vids on Youtube) it also outdoes GT5 Prologue. The vehicle damage is sick, as is the much more detailed race environments.
This game looks really good. Interested in seeing some videos soon. Whats funny is a lot of people don't realize these are the guys behind GTR.
...and in comes the SDF to the rescue....
Samurai Showdown (Samurai Spirits in Japan) 1 & 2 are some of the best ever. 3 and 4 were whatevs.
SF2 is obviously top dog, just because. But there are some really good ones in there. MK2, Tekken 2&3, KoF, Marvel vs. Capcom 1 & 2....
In terms of fighting mechanics, Marvel 2 might be the winner. Its just such a deep game and has a great combo system. Only thing is when people are very good with Venom/Cable/Cyclops, it can get almost cheesy.
...
Its MS fault that Sony doesnt have in-game soundtracks. Here's a little trivia...the first game to do in-game was....Ridge Racer on PS1. You could take the disc out once the game started and pop your own disc in there.
Now does MS hold some sort of patent when it comes to the new systems, not likely. I dont see how they could since both machines use their own patented HW.
Someone who has been playing FPSes since Wolfenstein 3D, a lot of shooters definitely have their own feel.
Having just completed the 3rd level of KZ2 single player, I am still not sure what its 'feel' is. To me, its not that distinctive; it feels like COD/Gears, with a lil FEAR and BLACK mixed in. (I find that STANDARD 2 is the best control setup to me)
Ultimately, it just doesnt feel that responsive. In a game like GRAW, I fully understand the weight, but the en...
Im not quite sure what they are talking about, since the 360 has the superior version of SF4, which blows Tekken 6 out of the water as far as I am concerned.
The only thing i can gleam from that is the game was optimized specifically for the PS3 and they have to successfully port that code over.
And the space issue has to be taken out of context. There is no way in hell this game needs more space than a DVD. Is this game even native 1080p?
I am still perplexed by the continued GS bashing...what did they do?
Last time I checked, they sell games, and have pretty good promos for trading in used games toward new ones. The sales staff is usually helpful in my experience.
I remember going and buying the Transformers PS2 game for my nephew, and the sales clerk looked at me like "You know this game sucks, right?" to which I nodded and said it was for my nephew, to which he nodded and smiled.

This is obviously an extension of the Halo world, of which millions are fans. Obviously they know about the game, and the fact that its a good game helps a lot...lol.
What people tend to skip over is that a game like HW can also take a lot of people that have never even played an RTS, and get them to play and enjoy a different type of game.
People arent gonna buy this simply because its Halo. What, are they gonna just stare at the box?
But lets not b...
Thats a lot for a Tuesday release...wonder what the sales for the entire week will end up being.
EDIT: Tuesday is a popular release date...but a certain game...Im no gonna name names...did just release on a Friday. Games release on any day really, and midnight launches especially are impacted by the day of the week.
Either way, I still am interested in seeing the whole week, but the first day is very impressive.
I do agree that the Elite is a sweet console, but really, the drive on the Pro is 60GB, which is more than enough for most people.
Those extra 60GB are nice, but they arent worth $100 to me. The included HDMI cable is nice, as is the sleek black color, though the white original is also a looker.
But the Elite is intended for just that, Elite buyers. So these are people that for the most part arent concerned with the price so much anyhow, and a lot are also probably...
