I can just see a bunch of SE reps on one side with a "Risk" type world map and a price attached to each region. MS reps on the other side putting down pieces for the regions they are willing to pay for. haha
Its just this one idiot who writes a blog there. The same idiot that said the 360 would win the console war as late as Feb of this year. He's a moron and cnet really should remove his blog.
to Kameo and Perfect Dark in the works. I think both could be fantastic now that they aren't under the gun to deliver 2 launch titles.
Its the darling of the mainstream and people will continue to buy it because its the "in" thing to do like Ipods and Iphones. Sony will only react if their sales fall because of it. If their sales remain unchanged while MS's goes up they will keep their price. Remember Sony has said time and time again this year. They aren't as concerned about market share as they are about profitability.
Its just sad.
Its been almost 3 frickin years! All they had to do to reduce red ring of death was get rid of those stupid X-clamps... I have no clue why they used them in the first place.
Pretty good lappy once I upgrade the Cpu and added a 7200 rpm drive. Its pretty amazing that this would be the 3rd model they release in the line within a year. Oh well can't complain I got mine dirt cheap.
Your outlook is very optimistic. Final Fantasy 12 demo came with Dragon Quest 8 on Nov. 2k5. The full game was released in Mid March 2k6 in Japan. Oct 31th 2k6 in the US and Feb. 23rd 2k7 in Europe. That is 7.5 months later for the US version and over 11 months later for the EU version. That is without having to worrying about porting a game over to another system. If you use the same timeline then realistically the game will release in Japan Fall 2k9. US at end of summer or fall of 2...
There will be a delay but since they didn't announce an official release date. It won't technically be a delay and they will have nothing to explain to the public. They'll just come out with some BS like localization is taking longer then we expected because the game is so robust. In other words marketing BS.
What other reason is there for no Japanese 360 version. Or why the PS3 Eu/NA version is being held back. Or why there is no FF 13 Vs for the 360. Or why the FF 13 team doesn't even have 360 dev kits yet. MS writing out a check for a date and day release for the Eu/NA version of FF 13 explains it all. Square Enix's bs about wanting more people to enjoy the game does not explain any of it. MS said at the 2k7 E3 that paying for exclusives was "part of the business". It came right ...
Sony will get them eventually but they'll have to wait.
that this is the natural evolution for fanboys. But people saying this is a win for Ps3 or yelling Ps3 FTW are just sad. This is the equivalent of getting your arm cut off but giving you a finger back as a keepsake. Not to mention you have to buy a $30 to $40 blu-ray movie package just to get the demo. I pray this isn't the big announcement or its just more junk hyped that amounts to nothing.
or sets of wallpaper which they then cover up with ads.
How ghetto is that? No wonder the only multi discs games to come out for the 360 were published by MS.
Blaming 3rd parties all the time is getting kind of old. I say this as a PS3 owner. But if you bothered to read the article he says Sony didn't have the support in place to help them when problems arose back in 2k7.
If true no thanks...
Do the math Sherlock. Lets be conservative and say 8 million Live Gold members. 8,000,000 x $50 = $400,000,000 a year. They reported $400 mill and some change in profit for the last fiscal year that just passed.
Because I believe that's how many people signed up for Live total including Silver members. And there are a lot of silver members. About half the people I know with a 360 have gold while the other half don't bother.
Unless there is a mass exodus. Ms made about 400 mill this fiscal year in the games divsion. You can bet 90% or all of that is from Live Gold.
is either a moron or too young to know about business.
