the annual subscription hike is in countries that get ESPN.
But, its not a smart move, and its pretty unjustified.
If they could stop the hackers and modders then the price hike would be ok.
But they havent been able to stop the modders.
The UK has the highest attachment rate in Europe for xbox 360 and xbox live.
Plus the GBP (£) is stronger than the USD ($) which gives another reason why it doesnt need to go up.
Even if it does, I never pay full wack for those memberships.
I just ebay them- much cheaper.
Maybe we get some random free stuff (unannounced, but if they want to keep customers they will need to do something).
Maybe they are increasing the price to give free stuff to mat...
controversy sells, thats why GTA is a great game.
They get put in the spotlight for free.
GTA it self is a legendary game, some were better than others but overall thats the only franchise I can see myself constantly buying games from.
Call of duty is getting weak, IW will topple soon a third developer is making call of duty's now.
Black ops is that last call of duty I will buy.
Activision is just milking the cashcow, but after black ops i cant see ...
i agree with stealth20k,
There will be atleast 1 more GTA.
Rockstar make very good games IMO,
the worst game they have made recently is midnight club,
it had average sales.
But the rest are quality titles
@newtype,
I agree with you. Many people I speak to tell me how the intel's are amazing and how much more power they have, but most benchmark tests for the majority of the chips are pretty level.
Its only when you go to the top end 'extreme' chips does the difference show.
Power consumption and value for money is easily AMD, if I wanted an amazingly high spec PC i would then choose intel, but for simple everyday use and a few films/music and a little enterta...
Intel will stay dominant, not just because their super high end chips are better, they have secured a 'legal monopoly'.
Many large manufacturers use intel for 90% of desktops/laptops.
Amd are way behind. HP, Dell etc...
have a few computers with AMD's, but not many.
Intel have a big foothold over those computer manufacturers, and can shape the way each manufacturer sells products.
Ive got a few ATI radeons, they are a little old but I havent had any issues.
I assume you just love your Nvidia, I just go with what ever is in my budget.
The past few times, Ive got good value and performance.
I need amazing high spec cards, Ive got consoles for gaming.
They have probably done this to cut costs somewhere between both businesses.
Its easier to manage a portfolio when everything is under 1 parent company and they dont trade as separate ...
People who have enough money to get both..
Cheapo stick with 1 game.
totally agree with you.
Every fanboy just get on my nerves, the rate at which the PSN has improved would never have happened if MS never had xbox live.
Its that simple, the competition between the 2 is good, because it means better games.
I agree the PS3 will win the war, and I agree it is a little more powerful, but xbox live and the general gameplayon xbox along with party chat keeps me wanting more. Im a shooter kind of player, I do play RPG's but shooters and r...
I too am surprised there is no ferraris on the list..
Thats a serious shame.
I played all the NFS's when 1,2 Hp1, Hp2 and underground 1 were great
Its awesome to see they have left the mclaren f1 in the mix, That is the greatest supercar of all time
They should put the LM version in the game also.
Totally disagree with the article.
Why not stop playing GTA because of the families that die becuase of the drug trade, or stop watching films that show men and women who have died in old wars or in current wars. Or horror films which show psycho's going on killing sprees.
This sort of article is so stupid.
The only reason these families are dying is because an idiot by the name of George W Bush started an illegal war, after his moron father armed the so called ter...
little big planet a big game? WOAHHHH.
It sold like 3 million copies world wide. Thats peanuts.
The main spotlight stealer for the PS3 is GT5 no doubt.
IM gonna be pretty broke in November.
Obviously buy Black ops on the xbox (we all know Call of duty has more perks on the xbox).
GT5 - PS3
NFS Hot pursuit xbox.
Halo Reach in like 2 weeks..
Hmm I still wanna buy the 360 slim so it matches my whole TV setup...
black TV, Bla...
um this isnt really exclusive..
If you havent heard the game has been leaked all over the internet
Im not sure they are screwed scofios.
Remember in the USA, the courts decided to allow iphone jailbreaks.
Even if this is stopped by Sony, the hacks and clone files will be leaked to the net for millions to make.
Then its down to someone making homebrew software to distribute it.
Hackers cannot be stopped, just look into legal history and see what happens.
This will be a similar case to the Iphone jailbreak. Some people already have the usb dongles, so...
why buy 3dtv?
Its a waste of technology, there will be better TV's coming out soon.
Most people have barely switched to HDTV's so why fork out even more for crap TV's?
3D will take off but not for a few years. Games consoles say they can support 3D, but they cant because its not native.
1.4HDMI is required for a real 3D experience, stop getting swept up by sh8t hype.
3D gaming will be next gen, 3DTV will be in the next few years, but I dont ...
November is a very busy time for games on both consoles..
Need for speed, GT5, Black ops, assassins creed.
Im gonna be broke.
xbox live voice chat is as if youre on the phone...
Thats how good it is, they are probably making it HD or something, or even better encoded.
But its great news for all of us who have xbox 360's
Um without xbox live, Sony would never have thought of making a multiplayer service let alone pushing for multiplayer games....
Relax, the xbox is a great console, I know the ps3 will beat it.
But I still like the games on the xbox that the ps3 doesnt have and vice versa.
Only people who are naive would make judgements on things they dont have...
@omi25p
I personally think the xbox controller is much better for shooting games.
I like my ps3 controller but cant do half the stuff I want to because its too small
2 problems with the xbox controller - The terrible Dpad and the huge battery pack at the back.
@the BS police,
Im sure they will consider releasing the beta.
Since the complete fail of MW2, there is a possibility.
The world at war beta came out only a couple months before release.
