Gears of War 3 has NEVER been a 2012 release. It's been slated for a March 19 2013 release.

No Jadjedi, it doesn't have to be a "big gun" to be considered an "exclusive". I don't know why you would use that kind of logic.
An exclusive is ANY GAME ...
@ bishop-br
Why wouldn't anyone expect a $150 Super Slim?
What does the Super Slim offer you? It's a blu-ray player that plays games.
You can buy a Blu-ray player for $79. http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA...

I guess some console makers are not in the financial position where they have to redesign a console removing features and taking steps backwards instead of forwards to try and make a profit.
Halo 3 - 11.59 million units sold
Halo ODST - 6.07 million units sold
Halo Reach - 9.16 million units sold
If you think those numbers are an indication that gamers don't like Halo...
Then gamers must REALLY hate these titles.

Microsoft:
Halo 4
Forza Horizon
Fable the Journey

Super Mario Bros
ZombieU
Nintendo Land
Looks like the competition also has 2 or 3 games coming out...I guess you really don't know that much. ;)
@ gamingGod123
Why are you laughing at fable? Is it not a game? So now games that you may not like don't count as games? I guess Wonderbook is not a game? Sorcery...
Just simply awesome.
Really looking forward to seeing the final version of what 343i did with Halo 4
So excited.
I don't think it has anything to do with "HATERS".
I think it's more to do with gamers who know what a good deal is and what isn't.
I am pretty sure most people were expecting this system to be more around the $150 price range considering how "simplified" this model has become.
Despite what a certain crowd on this site thinks, many on this site know that the current SLIM is a better model priced more reasonably...
@ PersonMan
I see you chose not to answer the question.
I will answer yours.
IF I can >>PAY<< LESS for a SLIM that has a motorized disc drive then paying MORE for a console without one, then why would I NOT rather purchase the one that is cheaper and has better hardware? So of course I would rather have the motorized disc loader then a model without.
In the scenario that you gave sure, you are right, it would be ...
Thank you yewles1
You just confirmed my comment.
A downgraded PS3 with 2 gen old tech (top loader) and a game that is $20 at Future shop http://www.futureshop.ca/en...
All for $270.
The quote was
"Microsoft has offerings at a lower price backed with expected strong sales o...
Why should I have to pay MORE for a system with downgraded tech?
The Disc loader is a much better feature and worth the money I spend. Why would I pay more money for a top loader which is 2 gen old tech when I can pay less for Slim and have up to date tech?
So yes, the type of disc drive IS a feature to me because I am not going to spend more money on older tech when the option is available to me to pay less for current tech.
If you were in ...
I see this as a Negative.
Sony is banking on the uninformed consumer. A downgraded console with removed features/tech at the same price as the current slim console.
The Slim is a better console then the Super Slim and it's a cheaper price.
Yes it cost Sony less to make the Super Slim but the ONLY way they will start to see the profits come in will be if the Super Slim starts to become the #1 sold PS3 sku...and the ONLY way that is going ...
320gb limited Halo4 console with 2 controllers and a game for less then $400....
Are you trying to prove the writer is right when he said MS has offerings at a lower price? Because that is exactly what you just did with that amazon link.
game = $60
Controller = $60
360 slim with 250gb = $299
so you get an additional 70 gb's of memory and $120 worth of extras.
Custom designed limited edition console with blue led l...
This is GREAT news. This is CLEARLY going to be a next gen launch title. Forza 5 on next gen hardware. I can't wait.
Forza comes out every 2 years by Turn 10 which could mean a possible 2013 release in Nov....right around the time when the new Xbox 720 is released. Possibly 2014 if the 720 is released late 2013/early 2014.
I for one can hardly wait.
"So a cheaper to manufacture console, with a new design to be marketed just before the next wave of games are released is a dumb move? Wow. Just wow."
A cheaper to manufacture super slim where the tech inside has been downgraded ie. new top loader in replace of a front slide drive sold HIGHER than their current slim that DOES have more tech inside IS DUMB!!!
Only a mis-informed purchaser would buy a super Slim at a higher cost then the current Slim....
Halo 4 hands down.
Then
Forza Horizon
Resident Evil 6

@ CmonBeReal
"but it's either pay or dont play"
You mean pay or don't play "online". You can still play single player campaigns offline. Not to mention Free XBL weekend promo's that happen once or twice a year.
@ Biggest
I completely disagree with you.
In NO sense does CoD look like "crap". It may be using an outdated engine but the game still looks good. Not great but good. Out of all the franchises released this gen, CoD is IMO among the top 10 best looking "franchises" this gen.
I just don't get you people. This must be your first generation gaming and you must not play many games this gen. There are by far MUCH worse ...
You saying that makes no sense makes no sense. All I was saying was that I would have rather a RDR sequel before another GTA sequel.
I enjoyed RDR more then GTA thus me wishing a new RDR would have been released sooner.
I agree. They have been giving us so many great new IP's this gen I think they have established that they have proven themselves to be great developers.
I have already stated that Sony will Phase out the Slim model leaving ONLY the Super Slim. Right now, with 2 systems on the market, only an uninformed consumer would buy a Super Slim over a Slim. The Slim is the better console at a cheaper price.
Yes you are getting a functioning PS3, but you are paying MORE for less HDD, no AUTO front loader with touch sensitive buttons. Instead you get a manual top loader. No bells, no whistles.
I also see that those wh...
