I cant really explain WHAT it is...I guess its an interactive music video (sort of...) by Arcade Fire (not a fan). But that description sells it FAR short...check it out, you wont be disappointed...it takes 30 seconds to load...then start clicking....
This is a gaming site...talking politics is way off, especially the ignorant way in which u are talking about them.
Good post...Unfortunately BR cant press a DVD on the other side...HD DVD could because they were produced on the same manufacturing lines as DVD (with a few modifications) which made the discs more versatile (DVD on one side, HD the other), and also made the manufacturing process and initial setup much cheaper, which is why it still gets me that the industry wanted to push a more expensive format, with no easy gateway (being a DVD on on side like HD DVD, BR manufacturing requires all new equi...
No one remembers the Sega Nomad, huh? A little talked about portable from Sega that ran full-size Genesis carts, and even had the six-button layout. Just cop one of those on eBay and youre good to go....or just get a PSP and run emulation for free ;)
Its one thing with all of the speculative "journalism" that flows thru here from one unknown gamesite after another, but this s CNN Money here.
This kind of press cant be good for Sony. First they lose the portable music market to Apple (to MP3's really...ATRAC? Weak sauce...), win a hollow victory in the home movie market...Looks like Toshiba really did win...they are the biggest DVD license holder, and believe it or not Sony STILL manufactures plain ol DVD players, n...
Trying to use the economy as an excuse? Have people not read how video games have been not only recession proof, but have actually gotten BIGGER this year?
Is the PS3's price a factor? Of course it is, who wouldnt buy one if it was $100? But the whole point is its not worth its asking price for most people. Even the Blu-Ray is a moot point with players under $200.
The public perception amongst most is that the 360 has the best games for the most part; even the mos...
I never take these things too seriously, especially when the GOTY often comes down to whether or not u like whatever genre.
Just know that pretty much any game nominated is worth owning. Everyone has their own GOTY, or multiple GOTY, so just enjoy your faves no matter what anyone sez.
GTA 4, Gears, MGS4, Fable 2, LBP, Fallout, L4D....a lot of great games this year.
The one I do agree with however was their choice of GRID for racer of the year. IMHO the...
This sucks...its actually 16,000, which really sucks. People losing their jobs aint funny.
What does that mean for video games, more specifically the PS3? Nothing probably, at least in the short term. Not sure how that would affect price cuts. But with a potentially tougher 2009 ahead, Sony may have to shift its strategies going forward.
Another year like this (Sony's stock price has dropped more than half), and I wouldnt be surprised to see a joint collaboration...
...DS3 purchase feeling? Happy you didnt get rumble the first time around? Oh and good luck replacing your precious PS3 controller battery once it dies...because every rechargable battery does. But not Sony ones I guess...u can power them with fanboy love i guess
But dont you know? Soon devs will give up making games for 360 due to a lack of space!
This crap is ridiculous...as if MS, the world's biggest SW company somehow doesnt understand how games work.
and notice how Gears has sold nearly 3 million copies in one month. But yes, for some inexplicable reason, MS will simply give up next year, as one of the larest corporations, and now one of the biggest video game companies (not even counting PC games...) simply did not think as far as 2009, and will just concede.
360 gamers dont need to rattle off a list of games that are going to come out, but rather have confidence that 2009 will bring more great games. And exclusives are jus...
So Leo Whatshisname is now the barometer by which to judge the 360?
This whole thing is suspect b'cuz if its his 2nd 360, then its still under warranty...but it would make more sense to throw it away?
Just so people are clear about the warranty...
Three years after the date of PURCHASE; the warranty is then renewed for any repaired console.
MS also offers a 1-year warranty on refurbished consoles as well.
All info available on xbox.c...
Why would they bother calling it an exclusive? Until they state otherwise, everything else is rumor. Besides, FF13 anyone? Hahaha.
Keeping track of discs? Those crazy discs just go all over the place...who knows where they'll end up next???
But you will be kicking back and relaxing though...while pretty much every single PS3 game is installing, which is mandatory by the way. Just think about that while a $200 console with no HDD can play the same game (GTA 4, Bio...
Really. Im tired of hearing that argument as well...for multiplat PS3 games, they often have to LOWER the native resolution of the game vs. its 360 counterpart, and also scale back the AA effects. Why? Because the PS3 is crippled by its memory and its BR.
Yep, not helped, but crippled by its BR. I laugh when i hear the argument, "Well BR is slower, but they can double up on the data to make it faster" What? Doesnt that defeat the purpose?
The truth is S...
Everything they post from this site is always garbage. Is this some sort of surprise? Are many PC games still not multi-disc?
As far as cost goes, DVD's cost practically nothing...and no, they dont have to pay for DVD licensing on each DVD; BR's cost much more. There is no refuting that fact.
A few things have been said here that I didnt realize...
MGS4 has to install EVERY ACT? And you complain about multiple discs? What was the 360 game with mandat...
Looks like a lot more company on LIVE ;)
Price cut is the reason for everything however...though people easily forget that a great number, if not half or more of 360's sold are $299 or more.
Fact is the price cut happened months ago, and what people also easily forget is that it took the 360 18 months to receive its first price cut...how long was it b4 they cut the price of the PS3 again?
MS didnt want to cut the price until it was profitable, which th...
Awww Yeeeaahh! Playstation Pimpin'! Hahahaha...what trips me out is my roomie met a girl on LIVE..playing NBA 2K8! Are video games the new hookup service? Maybe this Home thing will take off after all....
The same song, you heard it b4. So now Metacritic is the go to source for all which is good?
But why u ask, its an average of reviews from everywhere. Yes, but not every game gets the same number of reviews to make an average from. Case in point:
LBP has 76 reviews
Fable 2 has 87
But thats only the half of it. The reviews can come from different sites each time.
As Metacritic says right on the front page:
Metacritic co...
...to keep the fanboys at bay. How many of these articles are we gonna see? I'll tell you what doesnt bode well for Sony, all of these self-reassuring articles that are usually pretty ridiculous.
Is this guy serious? Sony COULD be selling more, if only they ADVERTISED more!
Yeah, thats it. Thats a very weak argument, and only hurts Sony's rep. The PS3 isnt an underground machine, people know its out there. BUt for people to keep headlining their articles with ...
Yes it is early, but if isnt "ready" then it shouldnt be out, especially considering how long they have been at it. But it sounds like a complete waste of time.

I just dont get why you would want to be in a virtual space with a bunch of dudes? Lets be real, Home IS the biggest swordfight ever. The only thing that makes Second Life and stuff like that popular to some extent is the chance at hooking up, real...or virtual (there are some weirdos out there..).
