@Both above me:
Wow. I read those posts and I swore to God I must've accidentally clicked on "Open Zone". Why can't you people keep this fanboy wang-comparison crap out of the Gamer Zone?
Yeah, that's a retarded price for such a great device.
...sorry for the accidental rhyme, there.
It's really a toss-up between the SNES and the PS2 for #1, I think. I can guarantee one will be #1 and the other will be #2, it's just a matter of what order they're in. Nostalgia demands I choose the SNES as #1, but I'd be perfectly happy with either choice.
It's just a shame IGN had to go and make this retarded flamebait by adding current-gen consoles into the mix.
It has nothing to do with bashing Sony, and everything to do with you being incredibly confused if you actually believe this to be a legitimate news article worthy of submission to N4G.
It is ridiculous to have any current-gen console on this list, regardless of their placement. It will be another 2-3 years before we can legitimately discuss where each of them should be placed on the "all time best"" list.
This proves IGN has absolutely no interest in a legitimate "best of" list, and is just trying to stir up controversy in order to generate hits. The online gaming media at its best.
This has nothing to do with 360 vs. PS3 or any other sort of fanboy drivel, and everything to do with someone simply not understanding what N4G is about.
The submitter made a forum post and was so incredibly pleased with himself that he felt this forum post should be submitted as news rather than just making a blog about it. This is not "news", regardless of whether or not you're a die-hard Sony fanboy, a die-hard Microsoft fanboy, or are one of the few of us on th...
I ended up renting the 360 version from Gamefly, but only because I originally had it in my queue for the 360, and never got around to switching it to the PS3 version before they sent it out (the day before the release date).
No big deal - fantastic game either way. Just wish I could have a go at those Joker challenge maps!
Yes please. Want.
I Gamefly almost every game, with only a few exceptions here and there. The great thing about it is that you can always choose to keep the game at a discounted price if you decide you DO want to own it.
For instance, if I wanted to own my currently-rented copy of Batman: AA, it would only cost $44. Pretty damn good price for a game that just came out last week.
Fantastic deal, but I thought the price was announced days ago along with the game itself?
Still want to see screenshots of the upgraded engine in its full 720p glory.
Did people actually read the article, or are they just posting knee-jerk reactions to the headline?
"As more and more LCDs ship with the full HD resolution of 1920x1080 then this will become less of an issue, but I’ve just had a look on Amazon and all the 26" and 32" Sony and Samsung TVs are still 1366x768.
It’s is for this reason that Microsoft recently retired the TCR insisting on 1280x720. Now we are free to make the trade-off between resolution a...
"Because it's really, really fun" - the only reason you need to buy ANY game.
I'm quite happy with my Mitsubishi 73 inch DLP, so I'm not really sure how I backed the "wrong horse" in that regard. I prefer DLP to LCD, and I can't really afford a high-end plasma.
Oh wait. "Gamesradar". I should've known. Are they ever right about ANYTHING?
How exactly will it re-define gaming?
I mean, is it a graphics powerhouse? Certainly. But the gameplay still needs to be proven before such bold claims can or should be made. I'm concerned it will be little more than an interactive cutscene/quick-time-event fest, which HAS been done before - by the same company no-less.
So, again I ask: in what way is it re-defining gaming? And is that really the sort of direction we WANT gaming to go in?
I be...
Yeah, which console is "better" will always be a matter of opinion, but it's hard to question that the PS3 Slim has more inherent value than the 360 Elite.
Sigh.
Look, here's what it boils down to: at this price point, both systems are great values, and both systems have a strong line-up of games you can enjoy. With the PS3 Slim, you undoubtedly get more bang for your buck. However, what REALLY matters is the end is which games you want to play, and who you want to play those games with.
If you want to pay no more than $299 for a fully-loaded console with everything you need to starting playing games on or offline...
I know it's a day-one purchase for me. Now I'm almost GLAD I never got a chance to play all the way through these games.
Almost.
It will be interesting to see if this encourages future collections of a similar nature.
While this is far more reliable than the terrible, oft-quoted Game Informer survey, it really doesn't prove anything either way.
We'll likely never know the full extent of the RRoD problem. I doubt even Microsoft themselves know - they best they can do is estimate. It should be suffecient to say that such a serious hardware issue was and will always be unacceptable, and the XBox brand will be deservedly tarnished for awhile yet to come.
Agrees and bubbles for all above me :).
- A very happy multi-console owner.
Wow, off-topic AND completely wrong! It's a two-fer.
