The 65nm chip sets reduce costs by 50%, allow more air in console, uses less power = less heat. Also gives the space option to place the pwr supply within the console. I call BS on this article, I just went to my local Gamestop to reserve Bioshock & 2 xbox360s were purchased in the 10 minutes I was there. I go there maybe once a month & I have never seen 2 consoles go out the door in that short of time.
Just wait 'till Bioshock, Mass Effect & Halo 3 hit the market ...
Not sure what to think, but realize this is big business, not fanboys, & two well respected companies in the gaming Industry. I don't think M$ would get involved, you don't touch legal matters like this with a 10 foot pole unless you are directly involved, which they are not. Epic has a shady side for sure, they have always been all about glitching, mods, ect. But this is soooo believeable in this day & age of corporate scandals - Remember, we are talking about millions of dollars &am...
"Running at 30 frames per second and only 720p makes this a graphically inferior title to the 360 version of the game"
Why only 30fps & 720p on the "most powerful console on Earth" ? I can't believe EA doesn't want to make money off PS3 fans, & no, M$ doesn't own EA, so - Why ? I read somewhere that (supposedly) Madden & 2K won't do 60fps either on the PS3. Hmmmmmmm ...
Anyone have any reasoning why PS3 football games can only run ...
9 out of 10 games on the "Most Popular Games Cross-Platform" list are Xbox360 titles ! Wow, wait 'till Bioshock, Mass Effect & Halo 3 get here !
Wow, MASS EFFECT has finally started geting the recognition & respect it deserves in the last few weeks. You guys have already said it all, this is the game that may finally make me put down my GEARS disc ...
Agreed, this is good advice, but here are a few more tips
1. Aforementioned change gaming zone.
2. Out of your friends list, whoever usually hosts the game should simply kick the annoying people. My friends list is about full, I play alot of Gears, & everyone always wants me to host because I don't take any crap from anyone, I don't start or perpetuate trash talking or glitching, & I will boot anyone who starts talking smack or glitches.
3. Merc 'em. This ...
HA HA, what a joke ! I mean if you cant beat 'em, better try to Bullsh!t 'em ! What class & style exhibited by the corporate CEO of the #3 console. Fanboys are all Sony has & will ever have, so better appeal to their delusional mentality. This guy should be a used car salesman ! The Wii is sticking that lollipop right up your a$$ Jack, & M$'s hardware & software sales are running you outta da' kitchen ....
Let's take a brief look at how Sony treats their Tools:
...
I disagree, look at what Sony has done to consumers & you still support them. Console defects are nothing new, & M$ has stepped up to the plate. Sony didn't give a rat's ass when PS2's were clearly defective & did nothing for consumers but DENY. Sony has ALWAYS over promised and under delivered.
Let's take a brief look at how Sony treats consumers:
Paying people to advertise their PSP through graffiti, puting programs in music files that make systems ...
Best Online experience, Best game selection (look @ their software sales!), a crushing Fall lineup of AAA games starting with BIOSHOCK next month, moving on to HALO 3 which is going to be HUGE by itself, then MASS EFFECT (OMG - can't wait !), & icing the cake with GRAND THEFT IV, COD4, ASSASSIN's CREED, ect. all before Christmas 2007 !
A price cut could be a staggering blow - Imagine if they get the core down to around $250 or less, seriously competing with the Wii's sweet...
The most original & graphically stunning FPS to date ! Cant with for next month !!!
"First thing's first: the game is visually stunning. The level of detail in the character models is pretty much a textbook example of what the current generation of video games should look like."
Wow, that's a pretty heavy statement. I'm with Bloodmask, GOTY & #1 on my wish list since I first heard about it. I remember a PS3 fan, I believe his name was the GENERAL, saying that this game was "TRASH" - How biased, uninformed, & utterly clueless. I expe...
I completely agreed with your post. Hopefully Killzone wil be the killer app the PS3 is missing, but I definately prefer the more realistic look of COD4. The COD series has proved itself in the past with gameplay, they match that with this level of graphics & this games is going to blow alot of other titles out of the water. Can't wait to Beta test it next month !!
Yes, you are correct - the TRAILER submitted here is on the PS3, the E3 DEMO was on the Xbox360, I have the DEMO footage downloaded from XBL in HD - you should see THAT; it was also broadcast live from G4 on tv. Sorry peeps, I would rather have this game than KILLZONE or HALO 3.
All the Industry people were going nuts about how the demo looked @ the M$ conference. And yes, seriously, it's going to look great on both systems. Can't wait for the fanboys to troll the screenshot co...
I have many friends on XBL from Britain, and I am very pleased that they are finally getting this update. WyldeDime & his mates will be very happy. Cheers !
However, I have many Canadian friends as well, I'm sure they would like a piece of this marketplace goodness. Hopefully Canada will see something similar too.
Hmmmmmm, this is a tough one. On the one hand, I support Adult gaming... gaming is not just for children anymore, I wish XBL would segregate the 16 & under form 17 & older crowds so me & all my friends could get away from all the noob-brats that have Gamerscore's of "10" & talk trash & have no skills whatsoever. Although, it can be nice occasionally to get them in Ranked matches - easy Achievements !
Also, I support games like Gears of War, Mass Ef...
Wow, so many games for the 360, it's easy to miss one ! Extensive features for a Killer fighting game. Good Stuff.
- New to the Xbox 360 version, Virtua Fighter 5 will be based on the most current arcade game update and feature both analog stick and D-pad control, as well as vibration support.
- Arcade Mode will now include online leaderboards that will allow you to compare your single-player fighting prowess with people all over the world. You’ll also be able to...
Things are looking bad for Sony, indeed. And if they get any worse, other game companies are not going to help it.
Folks over at Newsweek’s Level Up have interviewees that predict game companies are not going to be helping out the PS3 with exclusive content, or even throwing them a bone at all.
“Already third party executives are telling me that if PS3 sales stay below 100k for 3 consecutive months, PS3 SKUs may start disappearing from release lists,” Geoff Kei...

1UP: Why didn't you show Grand Theft Auto IV at your press conference? Why was it not there?
Tretton: Well, Dave do you want to answer that?
Karraker: You want the real answer?
Gamers: No, please lie to us some more ...
Karraker: I'll give you the real answer. They didn't send us their video.
Gamers: Whaaaaaaaa ?!?

All you Sony Flamers can say is:
1. WAIT for Killzone !
2. WAIT for MGS4 !
3. The PS3 is the best - Just check out the specs !
Xbox360 owners will be *playing* 1st party AAA titles this fall, not *waiting* to see if Sony can produce one. The PS3 is so powerful that *every* game on both platforms to date is either superior or equivalent on Xbox360, with one exception: Oblivion. NCAA 2008 @ 30fps & 720p on your "superior" console ? Give it a res...
