Well the sooner they start bringing out 360 games with HDD only on the box... the better, if you ask me.. then therewould not be such a problem with space, they can uncompress data to the HDD on the fly like they did with the original xbox.
I love how people are going on about the ps3's memory architecture like they now what they are taking about.. stop making fools of yourself.. its obvious your gleamming stuff from google, and most of it is wrong anyway btw.
I ...
I bet most of you who say that you have a HDTV, dont really even own one.. even when you say you do... its like "mine is bigger than yours" i certainly dont own a HDTV, and i dont intend to get one until the prices of them come down a bit, and there are way more HDTV content on Cable/Sky... in the UK btw.
I am happy with my bog standard 32" widescreen at the mo :)
Once again i see fanboys giving it their all, and putting shame on to face of real ga...
I loved that game on the Amiga.. was class :)
And i bet it will still be as fun as it was back then! Games like these never age...
The game is amazing btw.. the demo does it no justice at all!
The gameplay is ace and so is the graphics.. and its a blast online :)
A lot of people can seem to look into the Future and know exactly who is going to win etc... yet again another thread turning into nothing but fanboy comments... this has nothing to do with what console is the best or who will win.
Let see how long the PS3 pads last when they introduce rumble into them :)
And what happens of the PS3 built in recharge battery dies.. what then? .... this has got a few of my mates worried.
Also.. it doesnt cos a lot of money for a recharge kit for the 360 pad, and well worth the investment.
Ermmm... Bluray is a medium, it cannot improve graphics or sound.. is there a magical graphics chip and sound chip on the disc?
.... didnt think so.
Bluray is great for the storage capacity.. but its slow as hell when it comes to read speeds.
It seems that everyone has an opinion what mistakes they make... bottom line is, people will always find something to moan about, no matter how good or bad a product is at doing a perticular thing.
<...
I have done what the checklist stated.. but i have had no message to say that i can get them free.
I got my 360 Elite on the 24th August
I signed up to live
And i filled out the online registration form on the same day as i got the Console....
Still nothing... i bet its for the US only :(
This is a must buy for me :)
Just a pitty the States are getting it on the 2nd and everywhere else has to wait till the 12th :(
Booooooo :P
Some people are talking like the 360 pre-falcon will all fail...
Thats just not true and you all know it.. only a percentage will, i have a mate who has a release date 360.. he plays the hell out of it all the time and has not had one single problem with it.
Also the 90nm with the new heatsinks with heatpipes will also lower the failure rates like the UK released Elites... only time will tell i suppose.
I also know of two of my mates whom have had ...
The funny thing i find is this... all the people slagging off resolutions etc..
I bet they do not own a HDTV, they say they have.. but i bet they dont.. i dont know of many teenagers that have a HDTV in their bedrooms, let alone Adults, out of all my friends i have.. only two own a HDTV, most just do not see the point in it just now till there are more HD programs on.
And another thing.. i will be quite shocked if someone says they are .. say 25+, own a HDTV etc,...
The UK Elite's are not the same as the early ones in the US.
Our ones have the new heatsinks with heatpipes, the new quieter and more powerful nidec fans, and the new BenQ or Hitatchi drives, which are quieter and makes less heat.
Am sure the latest batch of Elites in the US are the same.
Still, it might still get the rrod, but has a way less chance of it happening.
One more thing.. if you look into the way people had their 360 and h...
Looks pretty impressive i have to say..
One thing i noticed tho and hope they get it sorted when it is finally released is that the game didnt seem to have that "looks like your driving fast" appearance.. as in a true sense of speed.
Its early days yet and im sure it will all be sorted out come release day.
Good news indeed if he makes Elite again :D
Loved that game!
Its always the same with any big release, if someones 360 goes fubar when they have said release in their machine... its that games fault.
It has always been this way.. with every console that has existed i might add.
Only kiddies will not know this.
But hey.. what would i know.. i have only owned nearly every console since the Atari 2600
But still..Thats why i waited for the Elite to be released here in the UK, hopefully it wont ha...
I too have every copy of Edge since its release, and its one of the least biased mags out there.
They favour no one btw (just to let all the fanboys know)
They have slated MS, Sony and Nintendo games often.
The only people who qualify to make a statement is the people whom actually read the magazine.
All this MS paid then off etc is a load of rubbish!
Must be a US thing... as i do not see it anywhere
Edit: whats with the disagrees?
I think i should know if i could see it or not, the only ones i see is the ones you have to pay for.
I wish people would remember the most important number one rule when it comes to games!
Gameplay 1st ... eveything after that is just a bonus!
Whats the point in having a game that looks "real" .. and it plays like crap..
Tell me.. what would you rather have?
I still play some games on my Amiga ffs.. not for the "awesome" graphics, but for the gameplay!
EDIT: And to the person who disagreed with me...
I wish a Mod would come and ban all the idiots from here!
The Demo does the game no justice!
And it seems that the reviewers never spent much time with the game.
... Its ace! ... and its amazing online :)
i have finished the game (we have had the game for over 2 weeks in the UK)and have just one more achievment to get in the 360 version, i have no problem with playing the game over again.
Multiplayer is where its at tho :D ... and everyone whom i have spoke to loves the game... if you ever ...
