Hate/Love MS or the 360 or Kinect....
But you have to admit its selling pretty nice, partly to do with the ad campaign.
Sales are sales at the end of the day...
Right?
People only get hacked in the way described in the link by either logging into fake sites which look like MS xbox login, or they pass their details onto someone who does the mentioned.
Every so often you come across someone saying "I will get you 10th/15th prestige if you give me your email add and password". Sounds like the person above in the link either gave their details or logged into a phishing site. People fall for it all the time, I do love the comments at the top bt...
Its because not everyone viewing has paid for it, and sometimes manufacturers, devs etc..dont want the numbers out in case they reflect slow monthly periods for sales.
yea the bundle prices will drop before the standalone.
Im sure MS are waiting to see when Sony drop prices of the PS3 SKU's before they do the same.
Strategically marketing a price drop could drive potential sony customers to save money and buy the 360.
These sorts of indie games are best for smart phones and hand held gaming machines.
They are short and fairly simple, theres no need to have them on consoles.
Angry birds on a console wouldnt do as well when compared with the success on smart phones etc...
I wouldnt be surprised if sony use this as a way to get more indie dev's on that side of the console market.
MS sohuld migrate these dev's to windows phone's IMO
yea trittons n astro are the best.
Ive got ax pro's and astro A40's.
I do try to get hold and test out other headsets as much as possible to give advice to others.

T3 never get numbers right.
E.g they thought a headunit for cars Kenwood DNX7200 was £10,000.
The fact is the xbox attracts FPS and action addicts, xbox live is good.
I think on the PS3 there are many other games people would be playing, FN champion, Killzone GT5....
the xbox has had a quiet year so far...
some people dont get it...
This guy wrote in the article
"nobody really, actually likes exercise" I like to exercise, 2 things you need.
a friend to compete against and a gym membership.
Im quite 'sporty' I always have been. Gaming is my replacement for TV, after work TV is pretty bad and I record everything and watch it at other times of day.
yea im the same..I dont mind either of the controllers but the MS could have fixed the battery pack in the new controller they put out (with the fixed D pad).
The ps3 controller triggers need to be better, but I find the analog sticks too easy to move, I prefer some resistance like the 360 controllers have.
All in all I can play games with either controller,
on topic - this controller looks to be the best of both worlds, but its got some stupid D pad...

how are people finding the multiplayer?
Good?
So far most people I know who are buying this, are trying to get away from the call of duty multiplayer.
I myself left black ops MP behind a few months ago, its more annoying than fun, when a game becomes like that its time to put it down.
I had a look at the MP gameplay which some people had leaked over the past week, but I was not convinced, graphics dont matter as much as gameplay but overall it didnt look worth the price tag.
For now Ive picked up fight night, but ...
Microsoft already collect stats for targeted marketing.
I wouldnt be surprised if they do any of this, Sony probably do similar and same goes for nintendo.
That raptr company collects stats on gamers too, the value of data like that will be lucrative form marketing revenue etc....
Its not an error, to access online the code is required.
But if they offer the code for the usual 800MSP then people with modded xbox's and flashed drives will be able to buy the code.
MS did something similar with halo reach, when xbox live was the medium all reviewers could download the game from.
The reviewers were given codes by MS/Bungie but for someone to buy it would cost 100 million dollars.
They did the same with this so people do not have early ac...
lol
I can imagine some kids father playing the game with him, going for some spinning kick and knock his son out looooooooooooooooool.
I guarantee a few videos will be on youtube in a small space when a kid gets smacked..
I doubt that will happen, plus many hardcore games like me dont want the motion control madness.
I think the only reason the article has come to this conclusion is that MS havent announced any other games for hardcore fans.
Maybe they are holding out or maybe they dont have anything yet,
Im sure most of this extra noise about kinect becoming a harcore accessory is because of articles in the news (actual news) on TV etc...
Kinect is the "fastest selling dev...
Have you played bulletstorm?
Ive played it and its at least worth a 7/10 IMO.
The only reason why I personally wouldnt give it a higher score is the co-op multiplayer only has 1 gametype.
So the game will become and feel very repetitive after 50 plays.
However if you do get a game with 3 other people you know its way more fun and quite challenging to try and get the scores needed to move to the next level.
More game types required, im not gonna...
@Xwow2008 - its true, what many people dont understand that hardware only goes so far (we cant upgrade console hardware), its improvements in software and programming tools that help extend the life of a console.
The PS3 is still using un-compressed textures, when they are refined with the SDK to be smaller and hold more data is when more power will be found.
Both the xbox and PS3 havent had 100% CPU usage and they most likely wont for years to come (PS3 a little longer than x...
@whitenoise.
GTA IV had some stuff taken out, so did hitman, manhunt. Those are a few that come to mind
many games in FPS would be focussing on multiplayer.
They all want to take COD down, all new FPS will be trying to go for the same objective, they all want a chunk from COD, since COD is mainly played for multiplayer what else can we expect?
I dont see the value in maps that cost 1200msp...
Since I paid for the first maps on MW2 I was like WTF am I paying for here?

Most DLC isnt worth its price tag, I mean look at need for speed. They had 5 car packs out only a few months after the game was out, but they could have fit every car pack on the disc...
The best value for money DLC on xbox live and PSN IMO was the...
