Darn! My 360 won't be able to participate in "Folding at Home".

And just when I thought I bought a game console just for games!

How could M$ have been so thoughtless! I can't believe they didn't consider "Folding at Home" a possibility when they created the 360.

What were they thinking when they decided to create their next gen GAMING system!

I guess I should go and purchase a PS3 instead of participating in...

If you really want to spend 800 points on a worthwhile game pack, purchase the Rainbow Six Vegas pack. It has new maps and new gameplay modes. There is easily 800 points worth of content in the Rainbow Six pack.

I lost interest with GOW multiplayer when all you do is essentially run around with a shotgun and grenade tag people. Not to mention the insane host advantage in that game.

I don't know what to really think here. Sure, it could be very true. It wouldn't suprise me.

But why didn't we see the bottom of the disk before he put it in the tray. And then why didn't he show the disk at the end of the video?

I'm just curious, thats all.

Don't think that I am totally making this out to be a hoax. These are just the questions I have.

Granted, I have not played the game nor will I probably ever play the game considering the fact that I have no plans on ever purchasing a PS3.

I can understand why Jaffe is confused by the review. Especially considering the difference between an 8 and a 6 when it comes to game reviews is a pretty significan difference, IMO of course!

The one thing that needs to be addressed is that 1up and IGN are technically the same company. So having the scores so close do...

And hopefully people will just not buy them.

These packs are a total ripoff! Not to mention, if you have Guitar Hero 1, then do yourself a favor and hook up your PS2 if you want to play the older songs.

These songs should be no more than $1 a piece.

And Major Nelson can feed us all the bullsh1t he wants. I can't stand to listen to his podcast anymore. He never has objective opinions to what Microsoft does. Yes, I understand he works for the...

I guess this means we can all sue the internet!

Its pretty sad if the first exposure to sex for someone comes from a videogame.

Or little junior is hiding the fact that he has a porn mecca on his PC that he doesn't want his parents to know about. So he blames his videogames instead.

I swear to Christ that there are some really stupid parents out there.

Sorry for not being clear enough, I was just referring to the arcade. Not regular retail games.

So what you are saying is that we should be OK to being treated as guinea pigs?

Yes, I do agree that "tech savy" people tend to get the shaft most of the time. We adopt early even if the technology is "unproven".

Imagine all of those people who adopted laser disk! Even early HDTV adopters are got screwed! Imagine the people who purchased the $10,000 Zenith Plasma TV when it was first released? You could now buy a $700 Vizio or Westingh...

I really hope Jaffe branches off from Sony and develops cross platform for Live arcade as well.

Calling All Cars would sell a ton of downloads on "Live Arcade". 360 users usually don't pass on the original games.

And he has stated that he "loves" his 360!

Now, I will put on my flame suit and let the flaming commence!

As usual, the majority of the comments for this flamebait are quite amusing.

You would be an absolute fool to think that Halo 3 won't move 360's off the shelves. No, not mass 360 sellouts, but yes they will move systems due to this game.

And another thing, did we all forget that Gears of War was on a DVD 9? There still isn't a game out there that can be graphically compared to Gears on any system to date.

Sure there are games coming down the...

Both Getaway games were complete garbage IMO. Somehow the second game was even worse than the first.

So much time was put into production that they forgot about the gameplay!

Maybe it will be different for the third game?

Socom was my first experience with online console gaming. I have to say that it was love at first site with SOCOM 1. I played for hours and hours at a time. Not to mention the frequent all nighters during the weekend. Then SOCOM 2 entered and it was even better IMO!

But then SOCOM 3 came along. I knew it was bad news right from the time I participated in the beta for it. And unfortunatley most of the issues I had with the beta were still present in the retail release of S...

The state of California itself is almost as large as the entire UK.

I really thought they would drop the core system. IMO the core is a big waste of money but I guess its all about choices.

6902d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

This is about having a "choice"! There is a demographic of 360 gamers who have been waiting for a machine like the black 360 to be released.

So in turn, M$ is giving it to them.

But if you would have read their entire statement about the new machine, M$ is suggesting that this is more of an "enthusiasts" XBox.

Sure you have to pay for all of these extras, but if you don't want any of them "like myself", then you don...

Sorry but this is not correct information at all. Just because a manufacturer's warranty is a year, that doesn't mean that the retailers have to uphold the same contract.

The retailers set their own return and exchange policies regardless of the manufacturer's warranty.

Not to mention that the original manufacturer warranty for the 360 was 90 days. And I can tell you that Best Buy still would only uphold their 30 day policy unless you had an extended warranty t...

But for some reason I still buy most of my games and electronic equipment from them! I had a very very horrible experience with them regarding my HDTV. They tried NOT to uphold my $300 extended warranty. They decided to comply once I got the Better Business Bureau and my Attourney Generals Office involved.

Granted no action was taken but they did comply to the warranty specifications. I had them red handed but I guess they just wanted to see how far I would go.

Its gotta be news on the new "blackbox" 360, and as for the second night, who knows.

I really can't get a read on what it could be. Halo 3 beta news or an exclusive jump wouldn't suprise me if it were either one.

I guess we will have to wait and see.

Or this whole thing could be a hoax and nothing more.

Either way, I won't find out until tomorrow morning.

Even though I totally disagree, its about time a first party PS3 developer started standing up for the system they develop for.

I mean, you really have to take his comments with a grain of salt considering Insomniac doesn't creat ANY games that are on the 360 platform. Nor will they probably ever.

Its as biased of an article as they come. His total income is related to the Sony platform. So there is no reason he would even think about bashing the PS3 on any le...
