Overpriced paperweights are unsaveable! PS3 fanboys can be saved though. ;) jk
The song is fine. As a former songwriter/singer the song seemed "thrown" together. A song about "games", with more time and dedication, could be put together a lot better especially in rap. I'll give it more credit if it was freestyle(improv) but it wasn't.
@Remember
It's "Luda" not Luta.
We all know you're a ps3fanboy gwave. With that said, let someone post a song like that toward the ps3 on a ps3 post and see if you don't get the same reaction if not worse.
""We would now like a moment of silence in dedication to Mr. Leo Laporte's Xbox 360, which died from the terrible Red Ring of Death (RRoD) syndrome at 11:34 on Saturday - December 06, 2008. . . . . . . moment over, back to Gears of War 2.""
LOL

The first link is not actual quotes from the developer and the second was updated with the link I provided on my last post. I stand by what I wrote, even as "fact". There are NO royalties charged by Microsoft for extra discs... it's simply a cost of goods/manufacturing which "every dev" pays for, 1 disc or 10.
Space in DVD9s for more textures, etc. is a whole other issue which I and I'm sure Microsoft is aware of. Some quality is sacrificed,...
Looking forward to the trailer. If I don't see someone playing that game with a controller, there will be chaos. Anti-target-render fanboy here.
Yeah, well "popping discs in" is synonymous with consoles not "mandatory downloads". You pop in a disc and play, hence the name "console". Downloads are supposed to add longevity, not to make the game functional. After all the PS3 is not a "PC"... or is it? Nonetheless, nextgen bluray players are going to be faster and therefore no need for downloads so Microsoft I'm sure will adopt the format then.
""...there is another thing that gamers SHOULD be looking at. The fact that Microsoft charges royalties for every disc used after the second one. So, if you're game is 3 discs, you have to pay royalty fees for the 3rd disc compounded by every copy of the game that is made.""
Devs, not GAMERS...and for the record. http://www.shacknews.com/fe...
"Microsoft is not being d!ckheads," he said. "It was a simple kind of miscommunication. Microsoft does not charge a royalty per disc, but there is a cost of goods that goes along with manufacturing. "
Above was an exact quote from Lead designer Tim from software devs @ iD on "Rage"...
And if you must have a link... http://www.shacknews.com/fe......

""Microsoft did shoot themselves in the foot by supporting the wrong format.""
I disagree to a certain extent. 1st, Microsoft didn't fully support HD-DVD, allowing an add-on in case it didn't "catch on". 2nd, it was too early and Microsoft is not Sony, just like the PC microsoft using DVD till maybe next gen is only right considering the stability and longevity of the DVD format,etc. Come next-gen, Microsoft would have to fully support...
I played through MGS4 twice, no second "1st install" for me just the rest of them. Didn't think I had to reinstall between acts but I did. Well, at least that's how I remember it.
@5.14-Danja
I think Microsoft played it quite well with DVD this time around, to be honest. Come next gen, they would HAVE TO use some kind of format that has enough space because whether we admit it or not, space is becoming an issue with games. Except next gen they will have players...
""lol no discs lame.... bad for ps3 maybe you'll buy a 360 to play this.""
I had to read that twice to get it. Forgot it was exclusive. bubbs
@Danja
see, we have a sense of humor too.
Bluray, shmuray! Last time I checked the most advanced system of the "3" still used DVD-9. (PC)
LOL
And I disagree with you trophy. Solar is pretty much right on... they changed nothing, same "snake? snake? snaaaaaaaaaaake!" bull$#*% when you die... same long cutscenes but longer this time... and the ending, sorry to spoil but the ending was not that fight Snake had with Liquid, oh no, it was that horrific cutscene when Big Boss shows up. And the constant coughing? Wtf? Everything dragged, from dialogue to those stupid "sickness" attacks as if to "fill" the gam...
By your statement you are concluding that "installed" means shipped. First of all, technically it doesn't... Second, Microsoft and especially Sony knows what this means, except Microsoft won't be making the same mistake Sony did by inflating numbers(with the ps2) claiming sold consoles when in reality they weren't even shipped, just sent to warehouse! LOL. Microsoft says 25 million consoles sold, I believe them! Period.
Third...You wanna add numbers, then don't forget...
Oh Lord, there goes Jamie and his rant. Go swing by the "hood" and you'll see that's the norm. Foolish article.
Oh, please! That didn't seem offensive at all. I'm not surprised it got this much attention, well with the overly sensitive "niggas" out there, what did you expect? I speak like that all the time, chill out! It's cool to have it in a game like that... it's true, we need to improve our language every day and better our vocabulary but to be soo uptight about it is another thing altogether. Gee wiz.

Epic put out an update to matchmaking weeks ago. It takes seconds now... Gears is for the hardcore, you never played nor will you ever.
FAIL!
