This really isn't a offer from Microsoft but rather Best Buy is capitalizing on a big game franchise. Think about it, people buy the 360, plus GTA IV, and get they're $50 GC. They turn around, and use that $50 GC and allllllll the money just re-circulates in Best Buy. It's an old retailer trick and has nothing to do with Microsoft being "desperate."

Best buy is the one that is benefitting more from this.

This is the wrong "Just Blaze"

This "Just Blaze" goes by the name of Donny Goines. He is obviously a broke musician fighting his way to the top.

The "Just Blaze" that is a multimillionaire making records with Jay-Z or 50 cent is name Justin Smith.

What I don't understand though, is why didn't Nintendo just make the Wii capable of at least 720p Graphics. It probably would have sold even better than it does now and actually truely put a real death threat to the 360 and PS3 if it had the graphics to back it up. It would have had the motion controls to Woo the Casuals, and the graphics to back up hardcore gamers. More 3rd party companies would have jumped onto it as well.

The Ironic thing is, I used to always think that Micros...

Actually most people were pretty patient the day they stood in line for hours to buy a PS3, waited for good games to come out, waited almost 2 years for a specific service that's been requested since launch. No... I think people do have patience, but it keeps wearing thin with every stupid delay. Before we all know it, Fall comes around and we'll get a "Home Delayed until Christmas." And then a "Home Delayed until spring of '09 to refine the service, and In-Game XMB fall of 201...

I'm selling my PS3 now cause of this.

Actually... no... no I'm not... with MGS4 around the corner I really don't care.

Interesting. If it does release, then people who buy UT3 now get basically two games for $40.

Welp they just lost 10,000 sales for they're Wii version if it were to come out.

6632d ago 1 agree1 disagreeView comment

I can see it now, the Wii sells 50 gazillion units in 2009. And PS3/360 owners still don't care because it didn't have GTA IV, Gears of War 2, MGS4, Gran Turismo 5, Final Fantasy XIII, God of War III, Alan Wake, Fable 2, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Call of Duty 6, Far Cry 2, and hundreds and hundreds of other HD games.

Yes, I can actually predict the future.

Gears of War 2 Might suck?

Well how bout this...

Gears of War 2 Might blow your socks off with hardcore gameplay and new elements and graphics never before seen on a console.

Either is possible, so this article is pretty stupid.

Official or not, it's still a bundle that will entice potential shoppers to purchase the system. Heck, maybe the Halo 3 hype could still be in effect for the late bloomers. "Hrmmm I've always heard of that Halo 3 game everywhere, and OooOoohh GTA IV. I'm gettin it." -theoretical situation

Honestly, they need to ditch Halo 3 and slap a huge GTA IV cover on that bundle, much like the PS3 version.

But I guess it's a good thing that they aren't stopping they're support for Bungie and Halo 3.

I'd like to see a COD: Vietnam

But I think if Infinity Ward does develope COD soley, it's going to benefit us all because they're going to be able to do what they want without Activision.

Although I truely do not believe its going to achieve the same visual fidelity as a PS3 or 360, this is none the less a good step foward for the Wii. There's enough crappy graphics for Wii games, maybe this engine might be the middleware for Wii developers to not only deliver more on gameplay, but at least have somewhat of a Visual standard to achieve.

You do understand that 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p are all RESOLUTIONS. So when you hear the term "low-resolution" it means that it is a LOWER resolution! Does that click?

So no matter what the Wii is theoretically going to render, it will always be a LOWER RESOLUTION compared to the PS3/360. It will always have LOWER RESOLUTION textures compared to the PS3/360.

Unless the Wii starts to render things in 720p or higher, it will never quite truely reach the same...

Sure, write a formal well-written complaint and Sony will listen. Heck, it goes for any company. But B*tching and moaning on the internet and crying like a baby isn't going to do anything.

This article is obviously biased.

The only thing in the article based on fact is the DLC which no one can really argue. It's a good thing for the 360.

But the controller side of things...
"but also allows us to use a rechargeable battery pack or two standard issue AA batteries."

If he didn't know, the PS3 doesn't require AA batteries and can be charged through the PS3 using a supplied USB Cable. Never have to buy batteries again. Why is h...

I actually cant picture myself playing GTA on a 360's controller. I don't know why, but I'm sort of mentally attached to the Playstation controller for GTA.

But it goes the same for Gears of war. I cant imagine playing Gears on a playstation controller, it just will never feel right. I played dark sector on the PS3 and it felt so damn close to Gears of War, I wanted to play the 360 version instead.

As for this whole RROD debate, it's sort of stupid. Even if it RRO...
