The fact is Greg Miller used to be a Acheivement whore up until trophies came out. He used to admit on his podcasts that he would always buy 360 version of multiplat games just for the achievements.
How times have changed
Ahh, the limitations of DVD9
Sony spend their money on development
MS spend their money on exclusive dlc and timed exclusivity
Two different business models, I wonder which secures more of a future
ODST WTF. Its an effin expansion! Assassins Creed 2 or Infamous are both way better, suppose they had to have at least one 360 exclusive on there or they would be tears
What the hell is HPC
PC fanboyism is my favorite kind
Its not on the discount list but if you havent already got it you must buy Critter Crunch... Its absolutly awesome!! £4.49 and trophies, everyone should check it out
Thats social networking for you.
Im sick of updating home every time I want to log in.. Once they finally make it a much more cohesive experience they should create elite lounges for gamers who can only get in with lvl10 in trophies etc. That would be better
PSN gamers generally seem to be much more mature.
When I first got my 360 I used my months gold subscription and played games like Halo3 and GTAIV online. Was just full of little kids, their voices hadnt even broke yet but they would use the worst language. - dont want to spend my evenings listening to that.
Dont get me wrong, the PSN has its morons, but iv never come accross anything like that.
Such a shame that EU/NA are not getting that song
It wouldnt surprise me. Sonys marketing strategy once again this christmas in the UK is weak.
Channel 4, last night watching the Simpsons. 4 min commercial break at 6:12pm. I didnt intentionally count the adds but:-
6 (Yes 6!!) Xbox 360 ads
2 Wii ads
Guess how many PS3 adds.... ZERO.
Same every year.
Ive played both versions, both have screen tear and framerate issues.
Screen tear is slightly more on the PS3 in some parts when your walking through a busy part of town.
Framerates drop in both consoles.
Graphics look identical.
If you really cant stand tearing then your best bet is the 360 but your not going to totally escape it. And its not as bad as everyone says on the PS3... its not Farcry 2 bad trust me.
You jus...
Seriously, if your buying a 2nd hand console your buying at your own risk.
I always buy from new
I pay a TV licence for BBC which has NO advertisements. Other channels are free so they advertise all they want.
I pay for internet access.... not the internet.
I dont play rubbish sports game so im not exposed to ads in that sense.
And I dont pay for PSN either.
Exposure to ads in a paid service is clearly wrong, whether its MS or anyone else doing it. They are milking every cent they can out of its user base, if your fine with that...
This is a stupid thing for M$ to do and is so typical for them.
If I was paying for a subscription I would expect NO advertisements. Just as much as I wouldnt expect to pay for services I get free elsewhere.
Stupid MS, Im so glad i dont pay for a gold membership.. Im quite happy with my silver.
Its not suprising, it happens all the time. Games released early on in the year get forgotten about and put to the bottom of the pile as everyone has played and got bored of them.
GOTY games are fresh in everyones mind as those are the ones that people are playing like U2 and MW2.
It depends on game to game. Some are just ridculously hard to get like Killzone 2, some are achievable if your willing to put the time in.
I have one platinum and thats on Uncharted 2. Im happy abouut that
Lens of truth - 360 ever so slightly better
Gameswire - Identical
videogamezone.de - PS3 slightly better
IGN AU - 360 alot bettter
IGN UK/US - No comment
Arrrrghhhhhh.
The only one that worries me is the AU comment but I cant understand why if it was so bad they didnt mention it in the UK/US review. Its not like they have knocked down review score before, Assassins Creed 1, Fallout 3 etc
Oh man, think im still going to g...
Ahh jeez, thanks a lot IGN AU, now im gonna have to buy both versions of the game to see if the differences really are so bad. Strange though that neither US or UK reviews highlighted this.
It is a great game. Il one day go back to it and try and find the remaining blast shards. Have 10 to go, just cant find them anywhere!
