Who has told you that the 360 is only relevant in the US? I quote the most recent (approximate) sales figures for the current year for the main areas of Europe (PS3 Numbers; X360 Numbers):

UK 402,564; 823,996
France 367,825; 322,424
Germany 278,943; 250,232
Spain 218,033; 144,574
Italy 319,125; 246,619
Scandinavia 114,202; 121,338
Other Europe 297,175; 217,105

You are right... there is no middle ground! Ever since the original sites (xboxnews and ps3today I think they were called) merged it has been like this!

Back then, on those sites, there were no fanboys (well, atleast no real clashes) because noone really ventured accross sites unless they were genuinely interested about the console. Unfortunately, n4g's biggest strength (easy access to all gaming news) is also it's biggest weakness as gamers using all platforms are ...

Lots of people think Kinect is going to be rubbish! I'm not going to make a decision until i've seen it properly... But these articles are getting silly now. Everytime a game/ periph is approaching release, loads of these pointless arguments come out!

It happens for all the big titles! It happened for Reach, it'll happen for KZ, it'll happen for Resistance and Gears!

Why bother? If I am interested in something then I want to read about i...

... The proof is in so many areas of Reach. I think most people who love the game, love the idea. I love Halo, but it is more to do with the fact that Spartans are cool! Which is why the game has so much customization with the armour! The general story is cool (despite the fact that Bungie is terrible at telling a story, the general idea is good!).

But the games have always had massive problems! Bar the first, the games have always been flawed. But Reach carries the flag o...

Is funny though... And the spelling mistakes sort of, seem at home with such a strange article, lol.

However, my answer is the Xbox.

Volume- The Playstation is very quiet! That's great for gaming! But not for sex! The Xbox is insanely loud... Which is always a good thing!

Curves- Though the Playstation is curvy... It is all accross the middle! That'd be like shagging a fat girl! I mean... fat girls need love too... just not from me!

50 cal bullets rip through.things. Fact is... If you put a 50 cal weapon in a game, you should make it a one hit kill. Regardless of what area is hit, the person who is hit is incapacitated.

Upper body shots should be near lethal in games which are meant to be realistic a burst from an assault rifle to the upper body incapacitates... The designers know this yet they rarely apply it! Instead, they seem to only force instant upper body kills if a shotgun is used! Most weapons w...

If any of you guys played halo3 without buying the map packs you will know what I mean!

I loved halo3 and played it loads! So no, I am not flaming! Fact is that if you didn't have the map packs, then you simply couldn't play a massive chunk of the modes online. If I remember correctly, you could play social slayer and rumble pit! ...

So surely, that is near enough forcing people to pay to play as they need to pay for content!

I can see the games being quite varied in price. Surely, the more basic games (kinectimals, joy ride etc) will be a little cheaper than ones like the exercise one... right???

... I do hope that it gives you like, a two minute window to allow you to save your game. It'd be so much better if it gave you a chance to save as opposed to shutting off completely..

Yeah I know what you mean mate.
It seems crazy that they would release a version of the Slim without a hd.. But I haven't yet heard about another hd (only the 250). So I'm not sure whether a hd will be included! I hope it does include a reasonable memory... 20 gb has been ok for me up til now anyway!!

Suggests a $399 for an elite (with Kinect). And as the slims can't use memory cards, it is reasonable to suggest that the arcade will require an extra memory purchase (be it a usb drive or a hd). So as the standard policy for UK pricing (for everything, not just consoles) is to take the US price and change the dollar sign to a pound, what I have suggested is pretty viable.

Do some research before you start throwing your virtual weight around.. Moreover.. go get an educa...

... We will probably be looking at £150 to £199! MS may suffer for that (New buyers will need to buy the Xbox too.. and £350 - £400 for an Xmas present is very steep!)

EDIT!! I'll still be picking it up though!!

You are insanely right!

I have been waiting for Chu Chu rocket to debut on arcade for (what feels like) a freaking ice age!

You would think that that game would be so easy to release on both PSN and Live! And there would be loadsa people who would pick it up! Chu Chu and Wetrix would surely both be instant hits!

Shenmue on Arcade.. I would so be there... Racing my forklift truck around!

... I cannot believe how many of these 'Patcher' theories we end up getting on here! Every time I look through the news, I see some random idea from some idiot who only seems to correctly predict things which everyone already knows! Everything else he says are total speculation.. Pointless rants about things which very rarely come true! I would be suprised if Gears 3 found its way onto the PS3.. Very suprised. Not because it can't be done.. But because Epic are very protective over it... And ...

... that, regardless of what anyone thinks of the game... WoW runs the show when it comes to MMO.

It is like what the iPod was to the MP3 world... Nothing else really had a look in. I think that it'll take a shift in the genre before WoW is knocked off number one.

Change the gametype to a slightly new genre and you create a niché... Battle WoW on it's own ground.. and it will not be beaten.

Gerard Butler - Fenix
Christian Bale - Dom
Terry Tate - Cole (As suggested)
Sean William Scott - Baird

Not sure on the extras tbh! But this has to be the best cast for the main 4. Let's be honest.. Marcus and Dom are built like Rhinos... So are Butler and Bale. Cole is built like the Arnie of the Rhino world... and so is Tate!! And Baird plays that classic role of being the chheky one so well!

...That Trey Parker and Matt Stone will jump on this. No doubt, more EA episodes will appear, as they create episodes based on what is going on in the world.

Seriously, they have done 3 episodes on George Lucas and Spielburg! People complaining about things is where they get their ideas from! Guarantee.. the second half of this season will contain a direct EA episode.
