Well it is perfect timing on MS part. Right before the GTA4 launch.
They are hoping to win over all the existing PS2 users to the 360, by offering the new GTA on a low priced console.
Sony has just got into the groove of things, and the momentum was gaining. This will slow Sony's momentum, however I think Sony's game lineup will stand up against this price cut. It just might not be the huge sales gain for the PS3 like I expected this year.
With 360 be...
Top of your post was a great post.
However I have a problem with your bottom part of your post.
Here is what you wrote "If I was MS, I would standardize/upgrade the HDD, offer a free/reduced price version of Xbox Live (with advertising?), and get to work on finding a way to integrate Blu-ray into an "Ultimate" 360."
So basically you want MS to release the PS3?
Sony was laughed at for releasing a console with specs that at the time of l...
This guy from Sony shouldnt be acting so arrogant.
Thats what got them in trouble in the first place.
Sony definitely has the broader variety of great games.
MS didnt to anything with the 360 to appeal to me, while both Sony and Nintendo has.
Who said the PS3 inst relevant?
The PS3 is catching up to 360, and is outselling it everywhere else but the US.
Worst article ever.
Anyone who thinks the PS3 isnt relevant is either a complere 360 fanboy, or a complete moron.
That is like saying the 360 isnt relevant when is most certainly is.
So is the Wii.
There is a 3 console race this time because all systems offer something great.
And your right, its Dreamworks Pictures, and Paramount Pictures.
I wonder how this will work then being both studios?
Wow Michael Bay just cant get Transformers on Blu-Ray can he?
He must be pissed!!!
I am sure we will hear from him soon.
I agree. Hip Hop is dead.
Wu Tang
Nas (before Nastradamus)
Notorious BIG
Dr Dre
Snoop
Jay-Z (Reasonable Doubt)
Rakim
Those were all great rappers. But those were all in the 90's.
Hate to say it but the 90's are over.
Those same rappers are all I listen to on my PS3 HDD. But I admit to myself, it will never be like that again.
Rap today gives 90's rap a bad name, and trounces all over hip hop.
Rap...
Transformers is Paramount.
Dreamworks is Shrek, Bee Movie, etc.

Warner Bros boss, denies there was any bribe.
That is FACT. Not a rumor.
Why cant even now people just accept that Blu-Ray was the better choice for consumers?
Um no.
Look at the movie theaters. To take your wife/girlfriend to see a movie, your gonna drop at least $40.
For what? To have people talking on their cell phones, sticky floors, and chatty teenagers?
And you gotta pay for dinner too, if you think you are getting any.
$40 for 5 hours of GOW isnt that bad.
I really dont think that you guys are understanding this business.
MS paid for this exclusive content. That doesnt mean Sony wont get some type of exclusive content also.
It may not be on the same grand scale that the 360 DLC might be.
Then there is the fact of a HDD. 13GB free isnt going to hold much DLC, especially with all the DIGITALLY DISTRIBUTED movies all you 360 owners keep taunting.
GETPWNED is the biggest fanboy waste of flesh I have ever seen.
Nothing GETPWNED says is of any value, and is a completely worthless member of these forums.
I know this is the open zone, but you GETPWNED are way over the top.
I actually despise you, and I really wish you didnt post.
In real life, you must be the BIGGEST loser.
There are plenty of fanboys on this site but none of them are as sad as GETPWNED.
Were you GITP...
No Jeff Rubenstein said it wasnt coming this week.
He never said anything about it not coming very soon. Which he could have debunked that too.
I really thought MS was going to announce some new huge exclusives, to compete with Sony this year.
Sony has so many AAA exclusive games coming out this year.
Gears 2? Only a tech demo was shown and a teaser trailer. Doesnt sound like it will be ready for this November, must be next November.
I think that in-game XMB will be demoed this week, but not released yet.
Still very soon though.
He didnt debunk very soon.
If it wasnt very soon, he would have debunked that too.
Dont give up hope.
DMC4 was a let down visual-wise, especially when they had so long to develop it.
I didnt even bother buying the game as I felt, I had already played better than that on the PS3 ie Uncharted, and Ratchet and Clank
Why cant I express my happiness?
Why cant I enjoy this victory?
I am not losing money at all. I have made profit off of my stock purchase, and its basically paid for all of the Blu-Ray movies I have bought so far.
@ Eamon, I can see why you arent happy, and are jealous. I guess you dont consider having a Halo avatar supporting your console choice.
While you guys may not care. I certainly do. You dont rain on people parade. That is just selfi...
Blu-Ray has won. Thank you PS3.
I am very glad that I have been supporting both since Q4 06.
I even own stock in Blu-Ray. This is a huge win for me considering that, and all of my Blu-Ray movies
MGS4 is done, and is in its final testing phase. MGO might have a little more tinkering to go but MGS4 is done.
So of course Kojima is working on a new game. Most developers are always working on more than one game at once.
I bet Kojima is working on 2 new games, maybe more.
He makes games for a living and for enjoyment. So of course he is working on a new game.
