for DVDs. Its kinda funny really. I live in Mexico but bought my PS3 in the States as it was $400 USD cheaper. When i rent a movie from Blockbuster i have to make sure its region 1 and 4 or else it won´t play. It hasn´t been a big issue so far as i have been able to play most new release movies. But purchasing older movies or say a season of Heros will not work. Funny thing is i can go buy a Pirate copy and it works fine. I have yet to find a Pirated copy of a movie that has ...
getting into the console market. I hope Acer is only going to manufacture the next console for Microsoft, as they obviously need assistance in that area. But i don`t think a 4th console option is going to help the industry at this point. The investments are too big these days to risk. Also the economy is not in a possition to support a 4th console.
wasn`t the Turok demo like 1.8, or The Club, that was also pretty big.
and these were pretty short 10-15 minute demos, so all in all i am surprised they got it down so small.
or would come to the 360. I don't want it to and am sure it will NOT. All i was showing was the possibility that it could. And the the tech. is there.
Disagree if you think the tech. does not exist, not because you don't think it'll happen, cause it won't.
Are you confused yet...i got confused just writing that.
PS3 MGS4 FTW
ACRONIMS FTW!!!!!!!!!
Microsoft though HDD's were standard LAST GEN. but obviously they were too smart this gen. because you're right, the rest can be added on at 4 times the regular cost, and half the functionality (HD DVD, movies only)
But would only e available to owners of 360 with a large HDD, as the rest could be DLC. This is not reallly realistic because it would take almost half of the ELITE HDD to do, but, it could be done. But better then shipping on 7 disks.
i hope they release the other languages as DLC. Then there is no issue. If they don't then this could be a way of region locking a game without really locking it.
Although as it will be a world wide release there is no reason to import it.
engine can be used for new games on the PSP, so we can expect o see some great games graphicly at least.
They have just about finished the port for "Okami" on the Wii, so that means they are multi-plat and not exclusive to Sony.
for what 6 years now in the form of mp3's? and guess what, i can still go to the store and by a cd. An Mp3 is around 5MB's, extremely easy to DL and extremely fast to do as well, and guess what...the cd lives on!
Digital Downloads are coming for HD media, it is inevitable. But there will always be a need for a hard, portable media we can use wherever, whenever, without any kind of DRM issues.
How stupid does Microsoft think the consumer is?
I mean, they are in the middle of a shortage crisis and they go and do a huge price drop in Europe?
Really? Thats the answer to a shortage... Nintendo should have thought of that as they have had a shortage every month since release and they haven't dropped the price yet. I guess Nintendo doesn't know what there doing...stupid Japanese. <sarcasm>
Microsoft sold 254,000 and they were expecting to sell 249,200 units, underperforming expectations by only 2.33%.
How is 254,000 less then than 249,000?
I think they have it backwards, and they only sold 249,000. That would be a shortfall of 2.33%
EDIT: just looked at the chart +2.33%
they need better proofreading.
that means they can extend the NFL license to 2k sports.
Have a bubble
I can't see any of teh screen, can someone put them on here somehow?
Pleeeeaaassssee!!!!!
then in Jan/Feb they claimed shortages, and now they claim they have 17.7 million sold.
How were there shortages if there were 18 million shipped 3 months ago, what have they been doing for the last 3 months?
...now so that they can claim a huge increase because of the drop.
I thought a real late in feb. that they had reached 18 milion sold. Can't remember and too lazy to look.
thanks in advance...
SSBB will not be NO. 1 as it is already number 13
that come out require the latest firmware to run and will not allow you to play until you upgrade (firmware is on the disk). So if this hack is real then it will only work for games released before firmware 2.17 or shortly thereafter.
