I agree the core probably should have been skipped, but at least MS did offer and out. The core users can always buy a hard drive to upgrade their systems. So all is not lost for them. Me personally I would have never bought the core simple because I knew at some point I was gonna want a HD.
Irony for your A$$.
Incredible how this story was responded to and or even posted. Just shows how fanboyism has no boundaries. Here is tommorrow's headline for another mal-posted news story. "Typical oxygen breathing human, wants a PS3."
Unbelievable!!!
Okay, Microsoft doesn't make PCs, so the 1199 price point is not relevant to Microsoft. As for their office suite, cool competition is always good. Besides if it is not compatible with office by Microsoft then it will fail. However if it is, good we all win.
Either way, this is simply business, I don't know why one sees this as "Apple Kicking Microsoft Where it Hurts". Someone needs to get over their pointless hate for MS.
I'm sure that CC has a letter of non-disclosure as most companies have. And Speedy is either an employee or has a friend that is leaking this information. With that being said, you signed the statement and then violated. This is a simply case of accepting responsibilities for your actions. The person that leaked the information knew the reprecussions of doing such an Act.
It's sucks, but that's life as an adult.
This guy claims that his 360 broke, okay, then some careless idiot at Microsoft made a clerical error and sent him back the wrong item. (Sh!t Happens) For him to call this a NIGHTMARE (oh the chills going down my spine) makes me believe the he is either a drama queen or a game console-hypochondriac...lol
Anyway, I thought this was going to be something interesting, just another piece of flamebait placed out there by the fearful.
Don't try to blam POG for why you will never own an xbox, you will never own an xbox because you are a "to the death" Sony Fanboy. It's nothing to be ashamed of, just admit it. There are outspoken people that use both consoles. Just like you say "Xbox is filled with these types of people.." There are plenty of the same type of people on all consoles and all walks of live.
I think it's kinda chicken sh!t to try and blame it on a type of person, besides,...
it was you!
And the reason why is because the PS3 is finally at the price that it should have been at from the beginning. The thing was over priced until now. It'll be interesting to see if Sony will allow it to continue or if they will try to return to making a fortune on this things.
What will really tell the story is when the 60 gig supply is depleted, (which I don't think is going to happen because Sony is probably producing more as we speak. Which really does make this a PRICE CUT....
So why does this same thing get posted each week. When does repeat news become old news? It's not to spread the news, it's strictly to flame 360 owners.
Both sports are great for what they represent, you guys are treating Soccer and Football (or Football & American Football) with the same pointless argument as the PS3/XBOX 360.
I follow both sports with a passion, the Americans are currently rank 14th in the WORLD with 1036 points ( http://www.fifa.com/worldfo... while England is ranked 12th with about 1096 points. There for it the US SUC...
This would explain WHY RS is in financial trouble, they are being run by a bunch is Morons. When you sell a product, the goal is to sell as many as possible. Not to play favorites and display loyalities to another company that will hit you with a hostile takeover if they don't like the way you are doing business.
GTA is a good series, but honestly I get bored with it after a while. I grew up in the big city, I really don't need re-live it through a computer character. No wa...
This is starting to sound like a CSPAN channel. Although, I did learn a lot about how some of you think. American and Non, some were brow raising and some were understandable, while others were just ignorant. But, everyone has their views and are entitled to them.
I will add one thing though, It's amazing how many people migrate to america to live or get jobs. Especially since "it sucks so bad" here. Hmmm...
Based on "VGCHARTS" numbers the PS3 Sells are down. And the 360 is up. It's simple, it's in black and white, The current trend has the PS3 sells down a bit. I don't understand why people are disagreeing with you.
They are using the same approach that Sony used with the PS3 Price cut. Or added SKU depending on whether you a fan or a fanboy.
Man at least show that you have one ounce of objectivity in you body. I remember when the PS3 was at the bottom of all charts including VGCharts. I never once heard you say that the PS3 was dead.
Perhaps, if you made a sensible comment instead of blurting out HATE all the time that people would take you more seriously. You are the epitome of a sony FANBOY. The perfect example of a Lemming. You say HDDVD and XBOX360 is dead, then you state that DISNEY only backs Blu-Ray (...
Can you actually have sales increases on a product that have not been released. Or are they saying that Pre-Orders have increased by that number. I'm confused!
And if the pre-orders have increased, then if there were preorders for 1,000 units then now there are pre-orders for 56,850. Wow, over what period of time would this cover?
I don't know, sounds like someone is being careless with numbers. Also what's wrong with the jump button.
ShiroRX - is out of bubbles on this thread, I was really getting sick of his continious ranting about the same thing in every positive xbox thread. Now if Naism would say his last couple of words he can be gone also. Thank goodness. I think they just outright enjoy being annoying.
You sound like a DRONE, some old line from the same people. Guys like you are the reason there is never any peace or harmony on this site. Please give it a rest. You obviously work on wall street at one of the top economic analysis firms in the world.
Cause you're making claims that your minimum wage wallet couldn't possible support.
Don't mean to bash, I'm just sick of people talking a perfectly quiet post and turning it into a flamewar to wild unsupported st...
If you haven't bought a 360 yet, then you haven't been screwed at all. You clearly have a choice with hind-site on your side. You're not in the same boat as those that already bought the core. So, I don't see how this makes you not buy a 360 just because of this decision. Especially with the price drop, you are way ahead of where you would have been a month ago. IMO
