Ever get the feeling Pachter's real role in all this is to pose ridiculous questions on behalf of companies to gauge the temperature of customers reactions?
It's a free way to see if something is feasible or not. I mean, as often as he's been wrong, why do people continue to seek his advise, it makes you wonder.
Twitter and Facebook is not a drum worth beating lol. Give it a rest M$ PR.
Besides those two services, I can access Youtube and Myspace and most any other web service using the PS3 browser. Big woop. None of us would have the nerve to say it was an exclusive. I guess they're relying on people's ignorance when it comes to sorting these things out.
I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank the XBOX community for beta testing Netflix for it's PS3 launch; ensuring the superior experience amongst all platforms.
OK I'll admit as a die hard PS3 and GT fan that being able to paint your cars in Forza is pretty cool.
And now back to our regularly scheduled program.... *ahem* suck it bots! :p
And I still think Dan Greenwalt's a jackass. If he wasn't such a prick I would like the Forza franchise more.
Until the 360 can:
+ play PS3 exclusives
+ play Blu-ray discs
+ play 5.1/7.1 channel HD surround sound
+ include free online
+ include built in Wi-Fi
+ include built in Bluetooth
+ include built in rechargeable controller battery
+ include ability to upgrade to any 2.5 SATA HDD
+ include a web browser
+ be a reliable system that won't die or scratch your disc within an acceptable range.
then maybe th...
Is Peter Molyneux a game developer or a snake oil salesman, I can't tell anymore.
Yup, that just about sums it up lol
The 360 peaked last year and will most likely be riding the rest of this gen on the downhill slope.
The recent price cuts didn't help and neither will Natal. It's niche. The PS Eye is proof of that. I honestly can't see how the 360 can regain it's former self.
The irony of it all is that Halo is the best thing to happen for the 360 but it's also what's slowly killing it. No matter how hard Microsoft tries to appeal to everyone, it will forever be known as the Ha...
M$ has been successful luring consumers into thinking they have the cheapest console on the market and then nailing them with fees and add-ons down the road. There's no denying that.
This tactic works with impulse buyers who don't do their research which is 54.2% of the population.
If this is true, great!
Hopefully this will help popularize BD and bring the cost of movies down.
Halo always get a free pass from "game journalist" when it comes to orginality. Anything else gets held under the microscope.
I wonder why that is?
^^ self ownage lol
Kazunori Yamauchi actually drives the cars on a race track and adds those experiences to the game. He has a real passion for cars.
Dan Greenwalt has a passion for being a loud mouth who can't drive stick.
Big difference in the quality of games.
As for 3 disc BD. Great! I hope so. It means extras and bonus content. In Forza's case, the extra disc is them trying to stay on par with what's already expected in a racing title; passing it off as extras.

Too bad Sony has to play the "who has the bigger HDD" game with M$ but I guess you have to do what you have to do.
Jack only drinks single malt scotch. Not that blended crap.
Classy ;)
Looking at the stats, it's evident the release of ODST didn't bring in new customers like M$ hoped. Only current bots stormed the shelves for that POS.
360 is cheaper (in both price and build quality) and STILL got out sold! LOL!
All I have to say:
Another example of M$ pushing mediocrity as something stellar.
It's OK to say, hey this will be a cool way to watch a flick at something above DVD quality but please don't compare this to the quality of a REAL 1080p Blu-ray movie.
Don't be fooled.
ambientFLIER just because it's 1080p doesn't mean the quality is the same. Anyone can encode a home video off their camcorder at 1080p, is it going to compare to a Blu-ray movie? Hell no! Garbage in, garbage out. There are other factors involved.
As for 4 Mbps/1080p pssshhh. The audio portion of Blu-ray movies are typically around that.
You get a disagree for disagreeing with DarkSniper.
