If Microsoft has more money profit, I hope they invest some into their damn OS. I can't believe the much needed SP1 goes into Q1 2008...
Anyways, I think its deceptive for the title to say Nintendo the company and then list two console systems. Nintendo is doing very well, Microsoft has its damn monopoly on software (at least until Apple makes its OSX completely functional on other computers), and Sony posted a profit despite corporate restructuring costs and loss in their gami...
The PS3 just needs a firmware update for 1.1.
Wait but this guy simply states that he helped his nephew pack it up and that they should get it back with the new HDMI SKU, but did they actually get it back? And if so, how much hassling did they have to do over the phone?
This guy should work for their U.S. PR department. Nothing brings out the message about a gaming console better than games.
The video was worth a few giggles, but I'd like to see a more finalized version of the game. This can be a pretty good PSN release.
More reviewers need to review out of more than 100 and definitely more than 5. They should assign a maximum score in each category (between 100 and 300) and then tally up to total over the total possible as the final score, or else it would be really easy for certain reviewers to take off huge amounts of points for small problems.
That was pretty much uncalled for and offensive...
The whole point of next gen DVDs is for highest resolution possible, and the HD-A2 only does 1080i. You might as well just get a $400 PS3 that does 1080p Blu Ray and plays next-gen games.

I knew Toshiba was going to use a price cut strategy to boost its sales and make claims of having more stand alone players (since they conveniently decide not to include the PS3), so I guess this is their holiday strategy. A $200 1080i HD-DVD player versus a $400 1080p PS3. Anyone who can look beyond $200 will just buy the PS3 unless their hatred for Sony is clouding their judgement. Just think of it as buying a $200 1080p Blu Ray player bundled with a $200 PS3.
Yes, as opposed to systems that might be refurbs or those that might strain them physically, I think you missing the point that they donated all this to a single hospital for children.
Until MS or Nintendo do something similar for the kids, why don't you at least applaud the effort. This is like the story of the man trapped in a well and when a guy finally came to help him, the trapped man punches him and sues him for not coming sooner.
Hmm, that seems fine for PS2 games that have short missions and frequent save points, but what about long ones like Final Fantasy or MGS? And what if nature calls?
But the Vii has the home court advantage...
I wouldn't call the Wii a great hardware innovation, it is more of an innovation of the interface, like the iPod's click wheel versus its competitions.
As for the 360, I think they just had a good development plan in bringing the console a year ahead of everyone else and immediately killing the Xbox in order to increase demand for the 360. They obviously knew they needed to have a head start and got it.
And as for the PS3, I see what you did by giving away the ha...
I stopped reading their magazine long ago when I realized its for people with very little PC experiences. Their tweak tips and troubleshooting techniques are very mundane and ineffective. I don't trust most of their opinions when it comes to computers even since they don't even know how to benchmark or price them correctly.
Same here, I bought mine after the first price drop along with one of the new PSP slim and have never regretted neither purchase. There are more than enough games available for it already that I don't need to wait until 2008 to take advantage of the system.
If they add in the built-in HD-DVD drive, then their price will naturally go up and therefore will lose any advantage over the PS3. Not only that, they still wouldn't be able to use HD-DVD for any games, since the current HD-DVD add-on don't use it for games and not a lot of 360 users have it anyways.
They need an expansion pack for this which includes story and stuff. Like a campaign mode based on the deck type you have. I'm sure this title will expand well.
I'll wait for the PSP Review to see if they stay as excited as they are now. And if they do, I am definitely picking this up.
Same here. BD has the backing (studios), technology (organic dye for cheap BD-R and 100GB tri-layer), and user base (every PS3 owner will be a BD supporter as long as Sony promotes it well).
I think its natural to buy used games when the retail version is priced too high or its just not readily available in your local area or your favorite online retailer. I bought tons of PS2 games from eBay, but I also buy retail ones from Amazon and other stores when I really want to support the developer, like Square Enix and Konami.
I think everyone buys a game depending on whether its cost or state is more important. It's like deciding between a preowned and a new car, you s...
