SIG is assuming that new adopters of the 360, are only going to buy maybe one game....which is f***ing retarded.
Many of the well-over-100 360 titles, have been discounted to $30-$40...and alot of gaming retailers have monthly specials, which make them even cheaper. Bundles, 2-for-1, 3-for-2, etc. are some of the ways people are given the ability to purchase more software for their $.
Compared to the 360 launch window (which was still the strongest hardware/software lau...
...but this game is such a big turd, you may want any record of having worked on it, wiped from your portfolio. :o
I remember back in 2002, when I got my XBOX, and soon thereafter, LIVE. I convinced my friend in Mexico to get LIVE as well, so we could finally talk, and play games together (we'd only communicated via PMs and e-mails up until then).
We were loving chatting while playing Crimson Skies over LIVE...and then we realized we didn't even have to be playing a game! We'd both overlooked the dashboard chat feature; MS effectively gave us the ability to talk, AS LONG AS WE WANTED, for $...
...Europeans are pretty stupid. :o
- If you install a non-Sony HDD, you will effectively void your warranty. Sure, Sony isn't going to tell you that, but if that HDD fails and/or crashes your system, do you really think they won't back out on liability? Get real.
- The 360 Vision cam IS NOT a standard webcam. It's primarily designed for 360 video-chat during games (something the PS3 won't do), facial mapping and other interactive gaming features. Does the EyeToy work with a PC? NO. Is the EyeToy even a W...
When you're Sony, the international calendar ceases to exist. As far as THEY'RE concerned, the PS3 hasn't even been DELAYED in Europe....or AT ALL.
...since we're nearing the END of the Playstation era. ;)
...and I seriously doubt it will be out this year. :o
...wise up, and sell your PS3 while you can still make money. It's OBVIOUS you're 2nd-guessing your purchase, so why torture yourself? Sell it, make a tidy $400-$600 profit, and wait for the PS3 to drop in price, and get some games...around NEXT X-mas.
In fact the whole X360 system is designed for creating extra revenue streams for MS:
- Harddisk - proprietary MS (True, but not really. First, the ACTUAL DISC, is a standard HDD; the difference is, MS uses a tamper-proof (unless you're a modder) case, where Sony does not. However, as soon as you replace your PS3 HDD with a non-PS3 OEM HDD...your warranty is VOIDED.)
- Webcam - proprietary MS (Not really; it works with any PC as well, as a webcam, but the game function...
...until some redneck American (and I can say that without prejudice, because I'm from Kentucky :p ) tries to sue Nintendo.
Either from a broken T.V., or a broken NOSE...maybe even an eye put out...from the "flying Wiimote" phenomenon. Mark my words, it WILL HAPPEN. :o
...make it happen, Epic.
Nuff said.
I can guarantee it won't be the LAST time this happens, too. :D
...I meant in a PRACTICAL sense. Like I said, if you have a 360, you don't NEED a lame-ass keyboard...OR a cellphone. ;)
You just need to use your mp3 player and headphones while you play. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :D
Sorry, but the PS3, like the PS2, can't/won't play custom soundtracks. If you want that feature, you'll need the 360. ;)
...this looks EXACTLY LIKE the 360 game, which came out this past March, as a late launch title.
The thing is, this is nothing more than a 360 port, with a couple new features, and extra polish. FNR4 will be coming next year, for 360 and PS3, and will be EXACTLY THE SAME GAME.
...all of that stuff is USESLESS with the PS3. Sure, it will plug in and be recognized, but what use is any of it?
- The headset is for internet chat; we all know Sony's online plans are still largely up in the air and cryptic, AT BEST
- Webcam? ALSO only useful over the internet. So how exactly will that work on the PS3? Nobody knows.
- The keyboard would only be useful for browsing...which is highly restricted on the PS3 (sorry, but you won't be vie...
...for some reason, I always thought this was a PS3 exclusive.
Regardless, this will effect the PS3 lineup FAR more than the 360's ; I don't think it NEEDED another FPS, with the amazing lineup it already has.
I said as much in another thread:

Of course, that won't stop Sony and their loyal fanboys from shouting "Look how badly the world wants the PS3!!" :o
Why does the headset connect via a controller port? There should be a wireless adapter/dongle that plugs in just like the wired headset. I have to say, this is simply a stupid design.
