Seattle area
I own two 360's. One for about a year the second is the elite. Both are still used pretty regularly. I haven't had any problems.

I play with a group of 10 guys on Live pretty often. All live in Seattle except for one that lives in Colorado, and one that lives in Texas. Of the ten one is on his 3rd 360(Seattle). Everyone else is still on their first.

One other buddy who just bought his 360 in early April. Has the occasional problem when pr...

Unfortunately none of the replies to your post gave an answer, other than you should ask yourself why some PS owners don't like Halo.

From what I read it's the graphics and user generated content/objects that you can easily drop into the maps. I get why people would think that is cool, but I don't understand why this is being hyped so much as well.

Hopefully they will release a demo and it sounds like it may be one of the few games on either 360 or PS3 that m...

I got two my self. One that is brindle and one that is all white with a brown patch over his eye.

The unupdated wikipedia list you mention has Wii data up to March 31st, 2007 and a 360 game that released this year on that list. You are using a press release that is nearly two years old. I think your info is the one that is outdated.

Believe what you want but there is no way that those 7 titles each out sold MGS3 and God of War. In fact on either of those lists not one title shows 4.5 million sold. Granted those lists could be wrong, although vgchartz supposedly tweaks i...

Do you really believe all those games individually sold more than MGS3 or GOW? MGS3 sold about 4 million. You are telling me that Hotshots golf and ATV before they were added to the PS2 greatest hit list sold more than MGS3?

Also keep in mind that the article is almost 2 years old and sales for all of these titles at that time would have been a little lower than they are today. Considering that killzone doesn't even show as a million copy seller on either wikipedia or vgchar...

Neither vgchartz or wikipedia have it listed as a title that sold a million copies.

Not that anybody cares but the Redwest campus is right across the street from my house.

RuJoshin - There are other MS buildings next door to Nintendo campus. Directly south of what the map details. In fact both the MS and Nintendo company stores are on the same street, just opposite sides. So I am sure the binoculars stuff has been going on for years.

Considering that the Cell is constantly under attack(by myself as well), information like this is definitely good to see on this site.

As a dev (non game programmer though) I fail to see the benefit in this. I thought not having to use cache lines was a benefit of the Cell processor. Also any multithreaded language has atomicy/thread synchronization support that is provided to the developer.

Of course since I have never written an application that targeted the ...

What I find suprising is the fact that overall Sony operated this quarter at a loss due to the games division. MS still posted close to 5 billion profit this quarter despite the loss in the games and entertainment division.

What I don't get is if sales for the PS3 are not good, and Sony is losing money on each PS3 sold than one would expect the losses wouldn't be as high as they are

PDZ sold 1.16 million copies.

I downloaded the demo and after looking at these pics and the real life comparison posted earlier this week, I don't remember it looking as good as these pics. I have a Sharp Aquos running 1080p, 4ms refresh rate and 10,000 contrast ratio so can't blame the difference on the TV

The pics look good for all 3 games. Car wise it looks pretty equal, but the road, grass, and all other non car stuff looks more realistic in GTHD.

Sony fanboys have no idea how the cell is programmed. Sony themselves haven't proven why the Cell is better for games than the Xenon. Everyone keeps assuming that somehow devs will all of a sudden find out how to harness the power of the Cell. If Sony themselves can't do it right now, it leads me to two questions:

1) If Sony hasn't proven it yet, then why does everyone assume that somehow it will magically happen? Right now everything is theoretical

2) If Sony...

The even more suprising thing is that 360 games sold equals 17K, and for the PS3 it's 11K

Like say the girls from DOA

Seriously though if there is a big market for this stuff I guess some studio should make it.

However having gay characters for the sake of making them gay when it doesn't fit in the story or the game is stupid. I mean we didn't see Marcus Fenix hook up with a chick. Even if they had him stop in the middle of blasting Locusts to hook up with some chick that wouldn't add to the game, it would prolly only distract from it. So if he's no...

When it comes to water visuals I don't see how any game could top this. I don't think you can get any more realistic.

Even the guys who own all the consoles have a favorite out of the bunch, and will get even a little defensive when someone talks trash about it.

and then the very next sentence is a request to please provide facts, and to prove him wrong.

I guess "nothing more" doesn't mean what it used to.

If these stories are true why is this a big deal? I seriously do not understand why Sony fans are so interested in this and why they are so pissed that a 3rd sku was released.

BTW I picked mine up today at around 12. The sign on the Gamestop said they had ordered 7. I didn't think to ask how many were left when I bought mine. Didn't know it was going to be such a big story.

Either most of the public is unaware of the issues that we discussed or have like you, forgiven Sony. Actually I haven't had a major problem with a Sony product and none of the above issues happened to me so I don't have a problem with Sony either. I think you pulled me into this conversation when all I wanted to do was shed a little more light on the stock market.

Anyways yes MS is a cash rich monopoly, however I don't think this generation will have a PS2 like marketshare d...

Regardless of what this survey says should Sony be the most trusted brand? Should they deserve your trust?

Let's see in the last couple of years they had exploding batteries, PS2 class action suit, and the rootkit fiasco. Defective batteries and consoles is one thing, and we can chalk that up to poor testing. Although it's not acceptable, it wasn't intentional and I am sure Sony learned from their mistakes. And hey most companies including MS are guilty of shipping defect...
