Oh they will, they will. After the holidays, it will likely be a while before MS worries about bans again. If that is the case, a new Arcade system will only cost you 200 bucks. That's less than the price of four new games you'd have to buy.
I personally plan on keeping mine, whether it gets banned or not. Assuming it does soon, I probably won't care. I don't pay for Live anyway, so I could care less. I have my PS3 for that. Don't care about Achievements, either, so the corruption won't bother me. I'll probably just do what I've been doing all along, buy (yes, I do buy games even with a modded box) the ones for multiplayer for my PS3, and still DL the pirated games for the titles I never would have bought anyway. I basically jus...
There IS reason they do the banning this time of year... they have their heavyweight games out. They've likely been sitting on many of these names for months now, just waiting for this time. Been playing ODST and looking forward to MW2... then bam, you're banned. The only way to get that game you've been playing or wanting is to buy a new console. Even if you mod it again and get a copied version, they still just sold you another 360.
^^^ Stephen Fry.. not French. Just so he doesn't come kill you with his awesome voice. :)
Both of these games have a 3rd person cover system, which make both of them a Kill.switch ripoff.
I hate stupid articles.
Clean installs are always better, though. Always.
As for why this is here, if you play a PC game, you have to go through the OS. So even the specifics of this article aren't gaming related, they are something the average PC gamer moving to 7 might want to know. The website is News for Gamers, not Gaming News.
Same reason you'll find articles on here about Linux on the PS3, or Netflix on the 360. Neither of those have jack to do with gaming.
The entire Battlestar Galactica series on one disc. Mmmm, orgasmic.
And where are you getting the info about this problem? Every thing I'm reading about what is going on with this points to the PS3 being affected exactly the same as standalone players.
Reading this article on another site, it is said that the problem lies with the blue lasers, not firmware. If that is so, that means that EVERY blu-ray player will need to be upgraded to handle above 50GB, including the PS3.
Your teachers would cut your butt? That's harsh. jk :)
Please don't play Counter-strike then, because you will blow a gasket and trash your PC. LOL
We have a guy trying to do it already.....
Fracking Lily Allen. Griping about copyright infringement and illegal downloads on a blog in which she infringed on another website.
Not to mention the fact that if it weren't for people downloading her music from MySpace, no one would have ever known who she was.
I had my 360 for about a year before I bought my HDTV. Not that I didn't want it, just I couldn't afford it. I imagine there are many people out there who have to scrounge and save just the get the console, much less a thousand dollar TV.
Well, like any homegrown survey, it's bound to have a decent margin or error, especially when it relies on people taking the initiative to report one way or another. People who have experienced it are a lot more likely to respond than those who've never had to deal with it.
Either way, the failure rate is far too high. Luckily though... mine is still going strong two years later.
Finally a developer who isn't out to rip me off with every little thing they make.
^^^^ -- Right on. This game feels a good bit different than the last few years have. I'm rather happy that they actually HAVE worked on core gameplay instead of throwing in more gimmicks. Granted, there are still some issues... things like getting a holding call on three straight extra point tries should not happen. But overall, the game does feel different than it did a few years ago.
But do I have pity on EA? Not a bit. They, like everyone else, is trying to nickel and dime us ...
If I was them, I'd send out early copies to only the reviewers who DIDN'T cash the check. If you're greedy and dishonest, then you wait until it releases to play it.
But, there's not much anyone can do about most of this until real DD actually gets here, however long that takes. Even then, games will still be pirated.
I do have one gripe about this article though... video game rental is by no means a recent thing. My brother and I used to rent games every single week from our local video store growing up. My mom did buy us some outright on our birthdays and Christmas, but in-between we rented hundreds of games over the years, from NES games o...
Because the big games are now out (ODST, MW2), and many people would buy a new system just to get to play those.
