Marketing
Since that's your opinion I respect that. But next time you see that TV commercial with the starving kids in Africa and they say for only 10 cents a day you can feed a child in need. Remember you rather spend that money for online.
Funny thing is Professor Laura Walker probably smokes crack. Don't think some of the rich people at BYU don't smoke crack. I'm sure they aren't as bad as the people that might be there who shoot up heroin. I bet 60% of the students at BYU do coke :)
I refuse to read the article. The 360 has been out for 3 years. During that time it would have cost $150 USD to enjoy XBL for the past 3 years at $50 a year. Another $50 dollars coming up pushes the total to $200 dollars. Now compare $200 dollars to FREE and that gives me 200 hundred reasons why PSN is better. Anybody trying to argue that XBL is worth $200 dollars is not worth listening to.
EDIT- Ausbo, you can break it down further and say it's only "so much per seco...
I didn't know Microsoft had any studios left to close. The couple studios that still support them are 2nd party, right?
LOL, you tell em :)
My guess is there is a lot of players that start in multiplayer and beef up the skills they need and a couple weeks later get around to whatever campaign mode there is. I'm really not fond of multiplayer shooters because I swear some players do this and by the time I finish the story mode (which usually takes me a little bit of time because I can't play all day or everyday) and get into trying the multiplayer I'm so far below everybody's skill level it seems the games aren't fun because I ge...
Let's review the game again/finally/why and try to create some hype for a year old title to help our buddies at the company.
At least this is the only way I can explain it.
The first game was as close to a first party game as you can get. If Microsoft loses Mass Effect it would be very very bad for the PR department that has to comment on exclusives.
Bad news. All the 360 would have left exclusively that draws any attention is Alan Wake and some Halo expansions. But since Alan Wake is just a media creation of hype because there is absolutely no proof for it being a good game. All they are left with is the Halo expansions.
"This is what DLC is supposed to be!"
My bet is 30+ media outlets say essentially the exact same thing in the next 7 days :)
But at the end of the day it doesn't change the facts that I never even finished the game itself and don't even own it anymore.
But thou shalt be jealous! GTA IV DLC is GOD and the entire gaming news world bows down :)
As a number I count towards the install base for the 360. But when I went to Gamestop and traded my system, games, and accessories for store credit I stopped buying 360 related products. I only have the PS3 now. Also bluray is not pirated like 360 games so that might add to the explantion.
Lifendz, your play by play calling sounds close to money. If you could get a show of hands on people just waiting until the Live subscription ends to make a move I think you could have a winner. But people that are doing that are also into getting every last drop of value from the money they spend that they might not be able to switch and I say that because I'm pretty sure plenty of players like that depend on trade-ins to help out, but with cheap 360 prices, a 360 trade-in isn't going to h...
PS3 has been out for 2 years and a month or so. In that time I wonder how many positive articles were written saying how great a system it is compared to the negative articles like these? What do you think, a number on that has to be a joke, I'm thinking maybe a 1 to 100 ratio?
This reminds me of when I read a preview that said Ferarri Challenge was better than GT. Previews and reality never seem to match up.
You need to cool out. Saying stuff like " maybe you have a double standard??? " is wrong. I never said nothing like what your saying and you can do what you want and generalize people but don't go putting it under my comment like you're talking to me. I take your comment as being rude.
Maxim is no Playboy :)
This doesn't copy the 360 controller...this copies the Gamecube controller which was then copied by the 360 controller :)
It should. It's cheaper. But I bet it doesn't sell as much as the 49 cent cowboy hat in Home because that's cheaper :)
They copied the Club from Bizarre and Sega
