This is hilarious pop will eat themselves stuff. Microsoft ask Xbox 360 owners if they want a 'Trophy Room.' Now haven't Sony said something about this before?
What will be even funnier is if they implement their trophy room before Sony do on the PlayStation 3!
An unbelievable amount of games are coming. I dont know who I have to rob to afford them all. Fable II looks like the bomb. In fact they should make a Videogame Day of the Year every year.
Its very sad that Moore says these things. HE pushed for the purchase of Rare by Microsoft, NOW he tell us it was a bad move as they didnt have any next-gen skills.
Ballmer is rumored to have said "you dropped the ball" to Peter about the purchase. Moore made mistakes and is using these interviews to rewrite history so that we perceive him better. However we know that Microsoft were wondering what to do with Rare until they got them to make Wii style Avatars. Grubby t...
Microsoft cant stop software companies puting 1000 [Award] points in PS3 games. But they might be able to do something about the Achievements name. Also Microsoft may have a patent on the adding up of the gamerscore...
Last year when Phil Harrison introduced Playstation Home to the world, he showed us 'Trophies.' We were told it would like the Senate room in the new Star Wars films.
I like Trophies, because everyone knows what a trophy is right? You win it, then you have a physical symbol of success. I want to earn Trophies and display them in my Home space. Now Sony have got me used to the name trophies, I dont want them to change it. Trophies FTW!
Cyrus. You did a bad thing. The point of N4G is to aggregate video game news from other websites. What you did was find an article, and change the title so it could potentially be more attractive to N4G members.
But in doing so you change the HONESTY of the article, you change the TRUTH of the article. Overall the article on Haze was very positive, but you emphasised the negative. This reeks of you having an F.B. agenda and does not represent journalism.
JUST BECAU...
Microsoft were pushing HD-DVD discs.
HD-DVD failed miserably and Toshiba pulled the plug.
Now Microsoft, bitter in defeat, say optical drives will die out with this console generation! That everything will go the downloaded DLC route!
The hardware infrastructure is not in place. This requires consoles/PC with enough storage space to store several movies and games, and super fast internet. I have no doubt this will eventually happen, but not for another 10 years at lea...
STICKZophrenic you are an unfunny joke.
Just a while ago you believed 'HD-DVD is kewl!'
and then when Toshiba quit you start talking about 'Microsoft DLC will rulZ!' now you Blu-ray makes perfect business sense?!
There is nothing wrong in your old opinion that Blu-ray was gonna bomb. But now you are like a little Judas, who is easily influenced. you have back-tracked.
you have flipped-flopped.
at least have the courage of your convictions.
Playstation 3 gets an advantage with the Blu-ray press, Microsoft aim to stop it.
But this is the same mistake they made with the Xbox 1. Making it too cheap makes consumers think it has less value. Befor Microsoft stopped production of the Xbox 1 you could buy in the shops with 2 games and 2 controllers for £50 quid! little more than the price of a PS2 game.
Dropping the price too fast makes the wider public think that Xbox are have a closing down sale.
have some integrity man.
The whole world is turning blu-ray. Microsoft support HD-DVD. That's okay. I understand they cant suddenly diss it or they will look like failures and upset Toshiba.
-But the 'Hd-dvd is best, but we cant wait to work on blu-ray crap' is disgusting. FLIP-FLOP. Microsoft. Take a side. stand by it. or even change your side. But dont try and please everyone with your FLIP-FLOP.
users do have multiple accounts, but Reeves says the 2 million PSN accounts (probably multiple accounts) is 40% of the installed PS3 base.
-well thats how i read it!
is the macworld being shown live on the internet?
because i would like to watch
Saint Sony. You said "Hehe, if 360 will soon have blu-ray, PS3 is SOOO DOOMED. If they go this road, I hope the blu-ray drive would be faster than ps3 one, ps3 has the slowest drive in the market.. urgh."
So if Microsoft support Hd-dvd. If Hd-dvd then becomes extinct, and Microsoft put Blu-ray in the 360 this will hurt Sony?! What you smokin sister?! I actually think it will help Sony because they will have an all in one unit with blu-ray. Sure it will be good if MS ...
WageSlave. Keep it real!
Microsoft themselves have admitted they are trying to remedy the Video issues for the UK. How can you call this spam? Personally I dont think its a major issue, and will probably be sorted out by tomorrow. But if there are teething problems why should N4G censor it?
I loved the atmosphere of Fable. Music, setting, characters were great.
Whatever Molyneux promises will be good. I just hope it makes it to the final game!
is this really true?
I have read on a website that Rockstar had problems developing on the xbox 360. Rockstar's agreement with Microsoft means they cant release the Ps3 version until the Xbox 360 version is ready.

Respected industry magazine EDGE made many interesting comments in the December issue on the 360's degree of success.
1* The 360 is underperforming sales wise.
2* Microsoft changed sales targets from 10 million 360s sold BEFORE the Playstation 3 launched, to 10 million 360s SHIPPED by the end of 2006.
3* The 360 does have a high attatch rate with games, however this indicates to software publishers that there are far less buyers. The people who are...
PS2 sells prove that it isnt just about specification.
Microsoft thought the xbox1 would outsell the ps2 because it had better graphics, but the ps2 did better because it had a better range of software.
Microsoft thought the xbox360 would outsell the ps2 because it had better graphics, but the ps2 is still doing better because it has a better range of software, that appeals to mainstream and not just the homo fanboys like John Carmack kissing the bum of Bill Gat...
I dont understand how it can be approximately equal sales on both formats?
The Xbox 360 was released one and a half years before the PlayStation 3 in Europe.
Over in the UK the 360 is HALF the price of the PlayStation 3.
Shouldn't that mean that much the 360 sales vastly outstrip the PS3?
Shouldn't that mean that at least 75% of sales are on the 360?
Either Rockstar is lying about GTA IV sales being equal on both formats.
Or Microsoft is lying about ...
