The only b!tching, crying & coplaining I see is coming from you Arnon because you got put in your place with PROOF it happened. Deal with it. You're wrong, plain and simple.
Agree + Bubble @ Monolith ~ Thanx.
The same "Shoe" that did this ~ http://img268.imageshack.us...
Yeah. Sure. Great unbiased gaming journalism right there http://img33.imageshack.us/...
^^^ Yes, Right...
Here's a screen shot of my first BSOD after only 3 hours of use from a FRESH install ~ http://img256.imageshack.us...
Actually it's more like this (props to orig poster @ BD Forums) ~
120GB PS3 Slim
One of:
LittleBIGPlanet GOTY Edition
Uncharted 2
Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time
One of:
Taking of Pelham 123
Year One
The Ugly Truth
And One of (Bundle price beside TV Model):
Sony BRAVIA 46" W5100 $1,290.98
Sony BRAVIA 46" Z5100 $1,650.98
Sony BRAVIA 46" XBR8 $1,960.98...
And that is where stagnation (laziness honestly) starts to rear it's ugly head and influence the denial of TRUE innovation in technology...I say if you can't keep up then don't complain when you get left behind (Valve anyone?). There are MANY people who are ready, willing and able (or willing to be capable by educating themselves) to step up to the plate to bring something new and fresh to everyone; NOT just gamers/gaming, but to ALL who can utilize it in their application(s).
Does anyone know if this version has no recoil just like the previous version(s) did?
^^^ Kinda like how certain types wait for the return of a broken console sent out for repairs for the 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th+ time? Or how about how they also wait for a true exclusive? Or any REALLY good game for that matter? Or maybe you meant how they have to wait for ODLC stats? Could you have possibly meant how for the last 2 Christmases they had to wait to access LIVE! Maybe they're waiting on getting into a Gears 2 server...my guess is they are waiting for THEIR PARENTS to buy them $#@! ...
Nice pic, for a brief second I thought it was a screen grab from GT5 or even GT5:P!
I wasn't going to do it but since you "think" it's only 10-20 people hows this ~

I could post a hell of a lot more than that Para, at least 3-4 times the amount you got ~ easily!
PC gamers have to sign up to Xbox LIVE! to play "Games For Windows Live" Online as well...
Just a simple little tidbit for the uninformed ~ PC gamers have to sign up to Xbox LIVE! to play Games For Windows Live Online
Now you know...and knowing is half the battle!
@ jerethdagryphon ~ "heres an interesting observationand remember thats all it is:
original xbox sold about 25million units, and had a very low failure rate so few repeat purchases
360 has only sold just under 30 million, in 4 years.
it also had a very high failure rate, going off of just ho i know, one in 3 machines has failed and one in 6 people purchased a replacment to keep gaming while they waited, selling the refurbished when it arrived.
...
Price huh? Well then how about this info I just posted then ~
$300 360 Elite 120gb model + 1 year of LIVE! $50 + 1 additional controller $50 + 2 play & charge kits $40 + HDMI cable $5 = $445
vs
$300 PS3 Slim 120gb model + 1 additional controller $50 + HDMI cable $5 = $355
PS3 is $90 cheaper with a hell of a lot more stability and capabilities (BD, WiFi, Rechargeable Controllers, No fees for multiplayer, the use of standard USB peripheral...
@ Commodore ~ If you REALLY want to be honest then all you have to do is look at this info
$300 360 Elite 120gb model + 1 year of LIVE! $50 + 1 additional controller $50 + 2 play & charge kits $40 + HDMI cable $5 = $445
vs
$300 PS3 Slim 120gb model + 1 additional controller $50 + HDMI cable $5 = $355

Actually this is a much fairer comparison ~
$300 360 Elite 120gb model + 1 year of LIVE! $50 + 1 additional controller $50 + 2 play & charge kits $40 + HDMI cable $5 = $445
vs
$300 PS3 Slim 120gb model + 1 additional controller $50 + HDMI cable $5 = $355
That is the LEAST amount you will spend for the AVERAGE gamer up to the HARDCORE, and maybe even including the CASUAL one as well as too. And the PS3 comes out $90 cheaper with MUCH more...
WOW! You really don't get it huh? This article fits you perfectly.
Xbox 360 launch price ~ $400
Xbox LIVE! fees since then ~ $200
Just those 2 things alone are $600 for launch console owners, PLUS having to deal with RROD, Disc Scratching, E74 and more...oh and I forgot to mention "and still counting" when it comes to the cost of LIVE! fees...AND the additional costs for batteries (unless you BUY a C&P)...AND the cost of a WiFi adapter when a person needs it (and people DO need wireless no matter what "certain types"...
@ RAP ~ I have to disagree. They are from a very different culture so to say they are unreliable because of handful of games is a bit much. I don't believe they are the be all end all when it comes to reviews (especially since I go by my own experience and not what others say/believe) but what review site actually is anyway?
Nothing. But it would be asking you too much actually READ and have any sort of comprehension. So even my comment here is just a waste upon your closed minded, biased & immature nature, because you don't even understand the difference between a Prologue & a Demo.
Grow up. Seriously. You're embarrassing yourself & people laugh at you...not with you.
@ below TY for proving my point.
