Looks better than the blades. I'm more curious about which game MSFT will start distribuiting via XBL, the reason for all this is not directly the optional installs but digital distribution of games similar to what can be found over the PSN. The only negative with this is that owners needs to buy a new HD, the rest is just positive things, better games, less crappy XBLA, competition between XBL and PXN that will result in better prices for users on aither console.
Looking good!...
I used to own a X360 and the video market place practically didn't exist but still payed full fee. Demos were released pretty much at the same time as in the US but if you were XBL silver demos were locked a week, but this applied globally including the US..I think silver members can't even message anymore from xbox.com...also any theme or wallpaper costed MS points
I don't have anything against the PSN, it's free. period. I get Demos, PSN games, videos, themes, wallpapers, eve...
Localization. Pricing.
I think the game is out as soon as it's ready, the standard version is always in american english...it's not like SONY (or the publisher) starts working on the localized version weeks before release holding the game from its release in the US...impossible, SCEA and SCEE are completely different monsters so SCEA puts out the game as soon as it's ready (SONY receives it from the publisher)...I'm sure it will be out in the PAL store within max 2 weeks.
I would say give BUNGIE the credit for the whole X360 Dashboard including achievements.
X360 Achievements = Halo 2 Medals
X360 Avatar = Halo 2 Emblem
X360 Gamercard Quote = Halo 2 clan name
X360 Voice message = Halo 2 introduce it
X360 Detailed online status = Halo 2's Elapsed time and score, game type, etc
X360 FL = Halo 2's Clan (100 friends cap)
etc, etc
Certainly Bungie was owned by Microsoft but no doubt that...

Agree. Besides, XBL and PSN don't offer the same type of digital content anymore, over the PSN you find not just Arcade-like games but also games like Warhawk, GT5P, SIREN:BC and soon SOCOM:Confrontation and Wipeout HD...SONY is really pushing forward digital distribution of games...for instance, SIREN is 9 GB so it wouldn't fit in a normal DVD
Wipeout HD should be listed among exclusives like R2, LBP, etc...it's not a PSP port but the real deal.
LOL from the PS3 list I only found 2 I'm NOT interested in...in the X360 list I only found 2 I'm interested in...Gears 2 and Fable 2 and everybody knows that that's all the X360 is about this x-mas
You know that, don't play fool, the PS3 line-up is rock solid...if the X360 line-up was good they wouldn't be cutting the price
...just for a second try to imagine how GoW3 will look like...just for a second....this looks awesome!
Awesome! thanks! hadn't seen that version
Nice! thanks
Microsoft owns the Halo franchise and is there where it belongs...Bungie wanted to be independent to do something else than just Halo for the rest of their lifes...
the PS3 might give them the freedom they need to develop a new game concept...BR capacity, openess for user geenrated content, WebBrowser...HOME... but a multiplatform game is more likely to happen than a PS3 exclusive as unless SONY pays for it MSFT wouldn't let that happen which they have right to do so.
Not really, I had a X360 and a Wii before my PS3 and I realized that they might look cheaper but in reality are also expensive
For the Wii I needed to be the Network LAN adaptor + extra Wii mote + nunchuck (otherwise WiiSports is rather useless) + batteries...at the end it costed as much as my X360 premium...
For the X360premium I had to buy XBL + play&charge kit for the controller.
For the PS3 I needed only to buy a HDMI cable that costed 10 E...
Yeah, I think so, they'll probably release the Beta for Europe first during the press conf. similar to the US film/TV store..."the HOME Beta is available for download tonight"...they kind of want to show that things are happening now, today and not only during the fall
You guys have only a sterotype in the head, I'd instead travel more and then talk
LOL PS3 is selling faster than X360 despite of being launched at a high price point and COMPETITION (X360 and Wii) around
I have a launch console and it feels like bought yesterday, top notch hardware and design, up to date, Kutaragi is a genius...BR player, touch sensitive, no power brick, built-in batteries and wi-fi, upgradable HD, HDMI 1.3, TrueHD sound, no old fashioned disc tray, etc,etc...buy a PS3 and kick back and play, forget about your console becoming obsolete due t...
Starbreeze is working on the sequel...they're kind of undergound people, don't like interviews and stuff like that...the game will show up just months before its release rather than years...they're also working on the chronicles of riddick next-gen remake...
Of course they WON'T even if they COULD...the wii is selling like pancakes, why to spend money on that?
correct...this just show how the "experts", the gaming sites, can't be trusted when it comes to info about a console or games...we, the community are a better source of info.
Yeah LOL
Hardware runs Software so "maybe" the relation you are looking for is there?...remember Phil was the man behind HOME and HOME will be a key component of the PS3 just as XBL was for the X360...it can be as easy as it just got too much and the man has fa amily he want to spent time with...
I do also have kids and try to keep the balance between job and my REAL life. I don't want to miss my kid's golden years, that's more important than any position and money within the ...
@power of green
Exactly.
I'm talking about digital distribution of REAL next-gen games, 5 GB and higher, original games not handhelds ports, nor games like Joust, Frogger, Paperboy and only god knows what else...they are cleaning up that mess now, which is good. I know very well about all that as I owned a X360 during a whole year.
To be more clear: Games like Warhawk, Socom:Confrontation, Wipeout HD, SIREN: BC, GT5P
