The "price drop" is damage control. The "new SKU" is not new at all. It is likely that Sony made a deal with an HD manufacturer and they happened to have 80GB. PS3s have been sitting on shelves, and Sony can't afford that. So, they temporarily drop the price. It's a balancing act that Sony is playing.
...the Japanese developers would make some decent games. This one looks like another budget title that will cost full price.
4 Xbox 360 exclusives and 1 more multiplat. If only SquareEnix could show that kind of support.
MS needs Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest exclusively on 360. Lost Odyssey will help, though.
Ivy has finally blossomed into a full grown woman! Cheers!
Don't get your hopes up PS3 owners. I'm not bashing, just pointing out that these are only rumors for E3. You may get these demos, or you may not (during E3).
It's amazing to see people argue that PSN is good because it's free. It's not good because it's free.
You get what you pay for.
Eternal Sonata is coming Sept for sure. Lost Odyssey is promised for Japan and US this year. Too Human is also supposed to be this year, but it has no official date. Fable 2 is more likely next year.
What's the use of reporting "Not Unique" connections? Am I supposed to divide these numbers by 3 or 4 or 10 or 100?
A "sale" is when you price an item at less than it's value. All of these games are worth 10 bucks and some are worth even less. Many of them are sports titles which are worth about 50 cents once the season is ended.
Quote from article: "After contacting several retailers from various regions in North America, the responses were unanimous: the Xbox 360 is the least reliable gaming console in recent history."
So, he contacts "several" retailers, he concludes that the 360 is the least reliable in "recent history".
The "retailers" that were quoted are just employees at the outlets.
How is this factual?
If Sony cuts the price, they lose more money on each console. They simply can't pay the bills if they cut it too much. If they keep the price as it is, less people will buy it, thus they lose market share, but they can still pay the bills. It's a nasty situation for Sony now.
MS sold 10.4 million by Jan 1, 2007 according to NPD.
I can see it working in sports games, since everything in sports has an ad stuck to it. But I can't imagine ads for other game types.
The ESRB also warns about online play. Once you go online, anything can happen. It's very much like going outside.
We were surprised with Lost Planet. You never know which ones will be demos. I hope Lost Odyssey is a demo. If not, at least some new
Microsoft or the Government are not responsible for individual behavior. If someone insults you for foolish reasons (like race), you should simply forgive them. They are either evil or ignorant.
They will have to look outside of Japan. Now that the DS and Wii are the primary platform for their JRPGs and Love Sims, the Japanese developers will stagnate (even more). I wonder if they've ever used normal maps, yet. (The vast majority of them have not). I wish Japan would get on the ball and develop games using the latest technology.
I don't want to feed the flame, but many architectural elements and symbols in Gears come from Nazi Germany. The bird statue is seen very often, the buildings look like Munich replicas, and there is one symbol that looks like a swastika with it's legs chopped off.
