Well, it's only the netflix feature that the Canadians don't get. They do get all the rest of the NXE revamp. I feel bad for them, but you know there are a lot of licensing issues and that legal stuff is difficult to work out I imagine.
That sucks that Canadians won't get the Netflix feature. Other than that though they are getting the full experience.
yeah people are going to find all kinds of creative stuff to do with their avatars. Socomer can laugh all he wants. I am laughing at him because he is still HOMEless. :)
Nope. Banjo Kazooie is sitting at a 78 on metacritic, SOCOM is at a 61. Ouch! Big difference.
You're right, it's a blast. Pay no mind to that troll by the name of GWAVE. X-Play are right, this game has a ton of replayability. I have been playing the demo like crazy and am still enjoying it even though its just a demo and obviously limited. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Valve know how to make good games. They virtually never disappoint.
Neither the PS3 or 360 have very many native 1080p games, and the majority of the ones they do have are simpler arcade/downloadable titles. Like Pixel Junk Eden, for example. And yeah, you are right, nobody ever singles those games out as being graphical wonders or anything like that. Most people don't have 1080p TVs anyway. I have a high def Sony Trinitron but it is not 1080p and so there is very little benefit to me if a game is over 720p. Pixel Junk Eden looks just like every other ga...
That's true to a point, but you have to realize that a huge number of people claiming they have had problems with their 360s are simply PS3 fanboys trying to give the 360 a bad reputation. I have seen several people get caught in such lies on different forums around the internet. And it is obvious that it happens a lot.
Yeah, but it goes both ways. We can't have a single positive article about the 360 without Sony fanboys crapping all over it.
Anyway, I have a PS3 and it certainly has seen some nice updates and has come a long way. But in a way most of those features felt like things that should have been there from the beginning. I guess I feel that way because I have had a 360 since launch and it had most of those features from the beginning.
The XMB is boring to me. I have been using it for years on my PSP and it is nearly the exact same thing on the PS3. It gets the job done and is easy to use, but it is so plain. Anyway, that's my opinion. I like even the current 360 dashboard better than the XMB.
Ringmaster, you are full of crap.
The 360 is set to surpass the 25 million mark by the end of this month.

"Home is on a hole"? Yuck! What kind of hole?
But I think you meant "Home is in a whole different league"...

Of course, they are programmed by the SDF central command to keep fighting to kill the enemy console no matter what. Logic does not compute with droids...they are programed with only one emotion: "hate". And only one directive: "destroy the Xbox 360 at any cost".
If Killzone 2 ends up being amazing, good, I'll buy it and be happy. But that doesn't mean it suddenly demolishes everything on the 360. Not everybody even likes shooters. Gears 2 can stand next to any shooter--even teh shooter of the forever...Killzone 2...
Another great review. It seems most people agree that it is an amazing game.
Yeah, I like Game Informer. Nice review.
If they think those differences are so minor and not even worth knowing about, then why do they even pay attention to these comparisons? I'm sick of their whining. Lots of us find value in these comparisons and that is a good enough reason for their existence.
Well, actually...as a dual-console owner I consider all aspects: graphical performance differences, how many friends on each console have the game, the online service, the controller, achievements/trophies--all of that. I don't know why people try to reduce it down to one thing. Guys, like myself, that have both the PS3 and 360 consider a lot of things when deciding which version of a multiplatform game to get.
As I see it, what Sony and Microsoft do in the gaming realm is one thing. I mean they both have bought studios and other exclusive content, but I think this is a bit different. Sony is trying to use their power in a different sector--their ownership of movie studios-- to deny Netflix customers that happen to also be Xbox LiVE users from using an extension of the Netflix service. That and the fact that they waited until the night before the service is released to pull this manoevour. It ju...
