How can he not know which is better Xbox Live or PS3 online? Thats the most stupidist thing I have ever read.
I have spoken to many PS3 owners who have gone online with it and its an annoying setup of having to go through different parts, if you get a message its coming out of your game and going to the interface - downloading content in game is the issue here which Xbox does not suffer from and thats since Xbox 1.
Have you seen the trees in PGR3 and Oblivion? They beat that game hands down.
I thought all online and store retailers including Australia were pre-ordering the PS3 like hot cakes??
But now Sony are having to 'woo' the consumer into buying a PS3 with an even higher price tag thanks to a bundle?
Err I think Sony has clearly gone mad...
I clearly remember when the Peter Moore 'by mistake' apparently said they won't be looking to continue supporting the old Xbox BC onto the 360 everyone well the 360 gaming community was outraged and then someone else 'corrected' it and then Peter Moore corrected what he said also saying they will continue to support the old games onto the 360.
However Microsoft from day 1 told everyone the Xbox 360 won't be BC with all games hence the updates they will release.
But with...
I clearly remember Sony boasting that they can offer 100% BC unlike their competitor (Microsoft) as the PS3 in theory has a 'PS2 inside the PS3' this is what I read a few months ago before the PS3 launch in the USA and Japan.
However thats not the only problem, the PS3 cannot even upscale any PS1/2 game to HD resolution nor does it even make the games look better by eliminating the jaggies - The PS3 is 'sooo' powerful it cannot even upscale...Wow.
And if that isn...
Absolutly INSANE!!
I dont want more pics
I dont want more vids
I dont want more interviews
I want a solid release date and I want the bloomin game like yesterday!!
Learnt some lessons? So what, that basically is telling me the game that is out tomorrow is messed up!
Your first paragraph makes a lot of sense and I think that will work, however why not optimise it for those that have a hard drive? Cache to hard drive for quicker access but slow down the drive?
In any case Microsoft have not confirmed this and its just the usual rumour.
The 360 isn't noisey its the DVD drive its 12x however apparently the latest 360's are equipped with BenQ drives which are a lot quieter.
I have had a 360 since launch and will admit its loud on the later games when its revving and accessing the disc but it hasn't bothered me enough since Dec 2005 to worry about. When you are playing such games as Gears Of War, Lost Planet etc and you have a 5.1 surround system with glorious HD the last thing you notice is the noise lol.
...
I will be extremely amazed IF Microsoft can via an update make it quieter without causing the drive to spin slower...
*raises eyebrow* this is news?
It just is, I am still playing it, I think its the most perfectly executed online shooter game on the Xbox everything just works perfectly apart from the cheaters of course.
I love playing Team Swat can't get enough although the game is certainly showing its age now but I would still go back and play Halo 1 lol it has an awesome story imo.
Once the PS3 costs around £250 and when it has games I want to play, I bought the 360 on launch because it was in my price range and there were games I wanted along with the fact that I am more favourable to the Xbox. I then bought a Wii 1 week after launch and was rather lucky as I walked into a store who had 6 and walked out with one no pre-order lol - bought it because its a superb looking machine with a new angle to the term 'Gameplay' and is feature packed and very well priced altho...
Your exchange rate is awful around $1.94 to the £1 so basically half, if it was $1.44 like it was a few years back it wouldn't have been so bad.
For us in the UK our standard of living is very different to the USA as well.
And this price is extremely amazing for those in the UK that have been thinking about gettin an Xbox 360 and or cotemplating on getting a PS3.
For £150 you can play next gen games and if you are new to the 360 you have ...
Disney? LMFAO what a joke.
If you make something too cheap people will think its probably not very good, or if you make it cheap enough for those wanting to buy but its out of their budget then this is a WOW moment.
Or has the price been reduced to get rid of the Core's? Any 360 gamer will tell you especially ones that play online you need the Premium it works out cheaper. But at £149.99 + Hard drive it works out cheaper than a premium just that you dont get the HD cables or a headset.
I can tell you right now that if it wasnt for the Halo 3 beta I would not have pre-ordered this game, in fact I gave it a solid thought and only pre-ordered it today!
I played Crackdown and its got no story nothing, its mindless do what you want shooter.
However those that bought the game for Crackdown itself will probably end up trading it in, meaning those that want the Halo 3 beta be on the look out for traded in Crackdown games!
XENOS has:
HDR+AA
Unified Shader
Multi Texturing
DX10 compliant (missing a couple of DX10 features to be full DX10 ready)
Also lets not forget the 10mb EDRAM.
The Xenos has features in its GPU that only came out recently with the release of the new 8 series Nivida graphics cards.
The 360 GPU was the first on the market to offer all those features and more, the RSX is assisted by the CELL but with any CPU no CPU can offer...
The 360 GPU IS 2yrs ahead in technology on the 7800gtx found in the PS3 what did you expect?
Yes I agree entirely, Pete Hines is just playing favouritsm because he wants to ensure PS3 gamers who are into RPGs buy their game but hyping it up that the PS3 version is superb which it does look better since it is a year old.
Anyways I have played and completed Oblivion and done many if not all side quests and just await the expansion now.
Its a great game I hope PS3 gamers enjoy it as well.
