And you are entitled to your opinion. Halo 1 & 2 sold in excess of 14 million copies. So there are a whole bunch of gamers who have a different opinion than you. Xbox isn't the only platform for people who like shooters. Pc's have been doing it for years. The 360 just optimized shooters for home consoles. And I and millions of other gamers are very happy they did. 360 games sell ore than PC games. So they brought games to people who wanted them. But this gen it seems MS is expan...
The massive battery recall has hit Sony just as a painful restructuring drive had appeared to be paying off after a weak patch at the iconic Japanese company that created the Walkman portable music player.
There is also concern about prospects for two of the group's pivotal new products - the PlayStation 3 (PS3) game console and the Blu-ray high-definition DVD player.
Sony was forced to delay the global launch of the PS3 by six months until this November.
ATI has been working on the Xbox 360 GPU for approximately two years, and it has been developed independently of any PC GPU. So despite what you may have heard elsewhere, the Xbox 360 GPU is not based on ATI's R5xx architecture.
Unlike any of their current-gen desktop GPUs, the 360 GPU supports FP32 from start to finish (as opposed to the current FP24 spec that ATI has implemented). Full FP32 support puts this aspect of the 360 GPU on par with NVIDIA's RSX.

ATI: So we have 48 shaders, each one of them does 4 floating-point ops per cycle, so 196 floating ops per clock.
On the embedded memory, I call it intelligent embedded memory or intelligent DRAM, because we actually have a lot of the [pauses] well the graphics pipeline continues into the memory. So we actually have a parent die and a daughter die on one substrate inside of the package. So if you look at the Xbox 360, and you open it up you’ll see that there’s one VPU package, but i...
The embedded ram for the 360's gpu free's up the bandwidth for the 360...it does the most memory intensive HDR And AA internally...Thats the problem the ps3 is having now. Not enough memory bandwidth to do the HDR and AA. This article doesn't tell the whole story...its from ps3land and they are trying to do damage control. Its much worse than they let on. All those games shown and TGS weren't even running on the actual PS3's. I haven't been wrong yet. Using common sense helps with this....
Now the problem is too many AAA games coming and how can us as gamers afford them all? This is crazy folks. I just downloaded 9 video's on xbox live of games from X06 conference. I'm still in shock...the games look unbelievable. To see Bioshock running on my 360 on my HD tv was stunning to say the least. There is no way I can get a ps3 and all these great games coming to the 360 at the same time. This is a problem. I can spend 500 dollars on 8 xbox 360 games. And I can think of 10 off...
YES. 199. Anyone who has followed my postings knows I said it would be between 150 and 200 dollars. I have always said it would absolutely not be over 200 like all the sony fanboys were saying. Once again....I was right...but there is no secret to my success. I just go off of what MS says and they are always right. 199 is a fantastic deal...couple that with the native 1080p output...and we have the best next gen video game console with the option to get the best HD movie format on the m...
So everyone here should be able to get HD out of the 360 via the vga cord. And it plugs from the 360 right to your monitor. And if you want a better picture...buy the dvi adapter and plug the vga into the dvi adapter and straight to your monitor. That gives a sharper picture and deeper colors. Radio shack carries them and some best buys.
Normally I wouldn't even respond to someone like you. But....I was half right. Games yes...but movies...from what is being said now...NO. But, I was just reporting to the news as it was at that time. Even sony at that time thought the ps3 would have 1080p movie playback on componant. Obviously, things have changed in what MS and Sony thought. Thus, Sony including the hdmi port in both core and premium. We will see what MS does to counter this "new" development. As of now the...
WOW...that would totally help ps3 here. I think that would even the playing field and give Sony a chance at least to catch up to the next gen industry leader..(Microsoft). Overcoming a 10 million to Zero lead will take some well thought out tactics by sony. And those tactics would have to be competitive pricing. Microsoft gave sony a big blow with the 1080p announcement to play on the same ground as Sony and Sony would give MS a big blow if they priced the ps3 more in line with MS.
Its a good game for sure. I love it. My son loves it. His friends love it. Solid game and pretty lego style graphics in HD.
He used his multiple account to continue converstations on the same thread. Making it to where he would have 8 bubbles total. I wouldn't have a problem with that if he used his bubble to contribute postivitve things to the post boards...but he bashes people with offensive launguage and personal attacks. If I'm not mistaken thats why his bubbles kept decreasing in the first place. I saw him go from 5 to 4 to 3..... All due to his comments...My only issue is the constant harassment that mem...
You can buy a vga to dvi adapter for 10 dollars and under. There are even dvi to hdmi as well. So if you buy the vga cord and the proper adapter....you are fine...untill they release the hdmi calbe/adapter specifically for the 360.

Sony fanboys never liked the truth that "the real deal" was giving them. The real deal admitted to having 2 accounts. Never ran from anything. The real deal didn't break any "rules". When the "rules" were made by Dusty and his staff....Dusty told everyone to pick the name they wanted and stick with it. Dusty said that. But since then...Jin and others have been using multiple accounts and basically spitting in Dusty's face. using the multi accounts for the ...
But when ps3 fans do it...fanboys come to there defense...Amazing. Dusty...please look and see that Jin has two names...one has 187 after it and the other one don't. I'm quite sure there are others "sony fanboys" that are still doing it as well. You made it clear to everyone to pick one name a while back and many have ignored your warnings. And they use their multiple names to have more bubbles and bash gamers who have a different veiw than theirs. 360 looser and others have an...
The trailer is on xbox live for free download...it looks cool. You can fly dragons and its an RPG. Looks much better than the initial screen shots from a few months ago.
As long as the PC ports sell better on the consoles than the intended PC's...they will keep coming. Obviously Most people want the port...thus the higher sales....But I do see what you are saying. I have a PC...so personally I would prefer exclusive custom made games for the 360. But in the case of Fear...with the right display it out does the PC counterpart...and unlike me...many gamers have yet to experience Fear....But just like the devs said...the 360 version is the better version of t...
Fear on the 360 looks much better than the version on High end computers. Its all in the TV you are using folks. It looks fantastic...the HDR lighting makes a huge difference and the effects are incredible in FULL HD. WOW. Anyone who tells you otherwise....its more than likely
A. they haven't played it
or
B. its there TV.
Computer displays by nature are better than TV's. If you plug your high end computer into a regular tv or a bad h...
The way they did Michael Jackson on his last album by not promoting it. Mike was very upset with Sony.
The way they did Dreamcast. Telling EB and other companies they couldn't carry the ps2's unless they put it in the front of the store and put dreamcast in the back. Sony started all the buying out companies for exclusive rights which killed Dreamcast and hurt Nintendo.
The way Sony is using its brand with lab tops, stereos and music to push Blu ray at places ...
I flagged you as spam...The name calling has got to stop on this board. But I see you only have 4 bubbles left so the mod is catching on to you. Thanks Mod.
