If you want to get a HD-DVD player just buy a Toshiba one and not the Microsoft add on which is definitely the worst HD player in the market right now (including blu-ray and hd-dvd players). You can get a far more better hardware with the same amount of money, no need to get that crappy add on. Every reviewer on the planet said that it's picture quality for a HD player is unacceptable...
Look at it this way also. If your 360 get the rrod, you could still watch HD movies until they get ...

You know what the funny thing is?
If you get an average of all the scores that metacritic has for this game it comrs up to 90.08% not 89%. That says a lot about the integrity of the site. You can check it out yourself provided that you know how to add and divide to get the average. If you don't PM me and I'll be more than happy to show you.
And yes maybe you're right, after all only 31/36 reviewers so far gave it 90+ rating, so maybe it's not an AAA game according to your own an...

It's pretty obvious that you don't know what you're talking about...
I'm a retailer from Europe (and if you don't believe me PM me and I'll send you all the details).
The fact is that Sony not only reimbursed all the distributors but also all the retailers that had consoles in stock in Europe...
Another fact is that nobody here in Europe, and I'm talking about retailers and distributors, don't want the X360 for one simple reason. Selling the PS3 leaves 12% profit for both...

So instead of behaving like a 13year old, check your facts and then go lie to someone else who doesn't have a brain

Metacritic has currently 25 reviews. If you do the math the average of these 25 reviews is 91.2%. Strangely enough they insist to have the score locked at 90% for the last 3 days...

Edit: @4.2

It's not about that, I couldn't care less about one point. It's about the integrity of the site

Good one, bubbles for you sir

Anyone who ever played Halo 3 can tell me since x360's memory is so perfect why does it have framerate issues?

Also AC is NOT a linear game as it seems. So unless you want to change discs every 1-2 hours or so, you better hope that they fit it in one DVD.

>Blu-ray movie library is larger than HD DVD... so isn't obvious that blu-ray will sell more movies?
If blu-ray have 2 times more movies than HD DVD... isn't obvious that it will sell 2 times more?

You really have the iq of a 12-year old, don't you?

>Things would be a lot different if the movie industry would simply support both formats and let the people decide.

You mean like "300"? I thought that people decided 2:1 in favor ...

Why?
Are you trying to compare a system that's out for 5,5 months with one that's for sale for 18 months?

It's better to have at least a clue about something in order to state an opinion about it.

Europe was never a draw between PS3/360.
http://vgchartz.com/eweekly...
If you check each week separately since ps3's launch you'll see that for 5 months and for every single week ps3 outsold x360 until december in Europe as a WHOLE counting UK numbers as well. And that occured with a 650 euro (and even...

Mart, I don't know where from you are getting your numbers but lying isn't the way to go man...

>>Only July the PS3 peaked in sales in Europe (and USA also) because of the price drop in USA and superpackage in Europe, after that the 360 again picked up sales again and is outselling the PS3

IF you trust vgchartz, and I'm guessing you do because that is where you are basing your opinion, then you can see from their site Don't trust reviewers, form your own opinion, rent the game and then if you like it buy it

Don't get confused.
The last hardware numbers from europe were following x360's price drop and just before Halo3. Before that M$ was dead in europe except UK, which outsold ps3 and covering the losses from other countries. This is also evident from fifa 08 sales which the ps3 version is outselling the x360 version even in uk.

And for everyone that thinks that M$ is doing great just try to answer this:

If M$ thinks that it's console is doing well then why, ...

If M$ thinks that it's console is doing well then why, why, WHY have a price just before the Halo3 launch, which is the console's flagship. It doesn't make any sense. Halo is supposed to move consoles regardless of price. Why reduce the price if you are not in a tight spot? They might as well kept the price that they had and lower it 1 month or so after the Halo3 launch.
I think M$ is in a tight spot and they already know it. x360 didn't sell well in the first year despite the fact tha...

Yup and if the reduce the number of enemies in 3 at a time like in gears and play the game in small confined areas then it would be possible...
Halo 3 is the only game that features a whole bunch of enemies, that's why it runs in 640p, has framerate issues and not the best of graphics. If you ever played a FF game you would know that the enviroments are massive not like gears...
And if it eventually comes to x360 then prepare for a lot of disc swapping each time you change the c...

Hey if it's not about the graphics, then why did you buy it? should have stayed with the original xbox, halo1/2 had the exact same gameplay as this one. If you don't mind about the short campaign and the storyline(even though not everyone that bought halo3 wants to go multiplayer) and you bought it only for the multiplayer then why again buy halo3 and not play the old ones, it doesn't make any sense.
For me it's combined, graphics, gameplay and storyline. Bioshock had the whole pack an...

IGN
graphics 9.0
gameplay 9.0
Everyone else is going to give 10's so let's give it a 9.5 Overall (?????). Also the site that gave HS's graphics a 9.0 and halo's 3 graphics also a 9.0 must have blind reviewers...
That about sums it up for all sites

For every site that gave it a 10/10:
10/10 is a perfect score, the game must have the greatest graphics, the greatest gameplay, everything must be perfect. It seems to me that 8/10 reviews. in terms...
