New servers could have done exactly the same I doubt the few thousand people still playing online with the original box would have been dragging down the network. However MS won't pump money into new servers in fact you can bet your ass this is a money saver nothing more. These servers will be closed down for good not moved to 360 infrastructure. MS are trying to make as much as they can now as they know it's not long before Sony overtake them in this race so they need to make all there money...
Why do people support 360 looking at the lifespan of the original Xbox compared to PS1 and PS2.... Not to mention People actually PAY to play online. They only got away with it as Sony were second with there online if they were first there would have been no way MS could have charged. However if Sony advertised the hell out of FREE online play it would really hurt MS but they don't and that's there problem.
but-but-but MS says DVD is enough!! lol
PS3 looks better and they look the same yet when 360 looks better you fanboys are quick to say so *tut* *tut*.
Cannot wait and blue moon is gonna be one of the tracks? Even Better! BLUE MOON YOU SAW ME STANDING ALONE!!
Good call I have too mate since GTA IV review. I lost all faith in reviews system round about then. As with a score of 96-98% average everybody should love the game and in fact I cannot stand it yet I loved Vice City so its not like I hate GTA. They just don't know how to review no more.
Scores are meaningless these days anyways some of the bet games I played this generations have had lower than 9 scores and I have played some above 9/10 games and hated them. Honestly reviews these days are too biased whomever reviews them for whatever reason. I am not talking about GT in particular here but nobody actually reviews games like they used to. They have to change the rules thanks to wii and fanboyism.
Honestly my answer to the whole thing is lovefilm.com games renta...
Not only are they outselling 360 every year but the amount by which they do it also grows each year.
Exactly one of my bad points about this game ZERO re-playability. Another reason why i'm shocked with the stupidly high scores. Don't get me wrong as an actual game its fantastic it's just too short and once its over you wont play again so what's the point of buying it when your better off renting?
@GreenRingOfLife do you just make numbers up as you go along?

PS3 worldwide sales are behind but looking at the selling rate on there compared to 360 it wont be long before it catches up. Only 6 million behind too and since every quarter Sony catches up by 1.5million it should be caught up by the ...
Thank god they went back to old school for STH4 my sons gonna love this!
Wow finally proof IGN are 360 fanboys and openly aswell it took em long enough. Not because they said a 360 game is better than a ps3 game its because of how they did it.
No trophy support please for the simple reason we would only see a handful of games devs would be bothered to go back and add trophys for. If they just add games which don't need trophys then they could in theory add say 10 a week easily for the rest of the PS3's lifespan.
PS2 classics with a massive back catalogue would be the killer for PS3 over 360. 360 could not compete with with that kind of DLC.
"personally i'll get the 360 version coz all my friends on XBL" Bungie your a moron you don't own a PS3. Plus why should it matter about your friends? there is no multi-player..
BC2 is better than MW2
Its coming people get over it this no comment is proof they would come out and deny it if it wasn't.
How can you dock a game for shallow and predictable story yet games like MW2 get stupidly high scores?? I know its a differn't genre but come on that's just a petty reason. The reviewer was looking for reasons to hate. Most of his reasons were basically "the game takes too long" . Like to get the best armour you gotta get lets of money to level your town or get to max level? What's wrong with that? I wouldn't expect anything less yet he docks the review for it. I think they got a gu...
"10 second swap every 20 hours there is no reason to complain. " Wow That means 1 disc lasts longer than the entire Mass Effect 2 game that's impressive.
When looking at preview videos I didn't expect this to do as good as the first and seems reviews are following that suit however reviews are meaningless these days actually playing the game will tell me all I need to know. The first game was great though played it on my PC when released and liked it I wouldn't say I loved it but it was definitely a 9/10 for me so I expect this to hist a bit lower like with most sequels outside the final fantasy factor.
