"They changed the parts around SO FREAKING WHAT!!! People are still getting the RROD on the daily, so save it! "
An ever decreasing number of the machines in the field are susceptable to the heat issues.
And, if you get a problem, you get a free fix.
If you buy a new machine, YOU GET A PROBLEM FREE MACHINE.
I know you dont like it. But "Japan isnt buying Xbox 360s". Is a TOTAL DISTORTION.
It is *...
I recall that the Xbox 360 may go out as a set-top box from cable companies. Possibly it will be "pay for service, get Xbox 360 for free" or somesuch.
No matter, there is an Internet TV beta in Windows Media Center.
What do you expect? The games are better, and Xbox 360 outnumbers PS3 in USA by about 4:1.
I wonder if they'll drop PS3 all together.
Peter Jackson's best movie (IMHO) is Heavenly Creatures. Terrific. Look it up and rent it if you've never seen it. Promise it will not disappoint.
A 3-Game bundle? This is going to hit like crazy. See my comment 2.1 above. MS will close the gap in Japan, and continue to run away with America & the rest of the world.
Stop saying "Oh, but Xbox 360 is dead in Japan". Its not. Its not as dead as the PS3 is in America.
See 2.1 above.
If Xbox 360 is dead in Japan, PS3 was still-born in N.America.
My new Troll: "PS3 Stillborn in America."
Two major fails in your post.
#1) The Xbox 360 heat issues have already been fixed, and we already were told. And we've been seeing the improved hardware for months now.
Motherboard Version 1.1. This Motherboard has fewer components, smaller components, new layout, and a new CPU/GPU mounting methodology.
Look at this: http://www.mainstageclothin...
Bitter much? It will surely be a free game when finished. Half the fun here is that the community gets to pick which title that gets delivered.
And, a member of the community gets to have designed a game. Its all in good fun, and better than the normal mass-marketing that these companies usually undertake.
I'd prefer they sponsor projects like this than to be putting up billboards all along the highway. There, I cant turn it off, here I can.
They may have to implement a "blood & guts" switch or something so the game can be shown without these kinds of terrific blood-explosions.
I cannot agree more. I cant pay more for this kind of quality entertainment.
Keep telling yourself that. You might convince yourself.
Maybe mike is just an honest person, who is willing to discuss his self-doubt and decision making.
I find it refreshing. Some firms are so arrogant with their confidence, that they dont have the character to say "I was worried about this, or I considerd X intstead of Y".
Its good to see how they think during the process.
I dont know what game you're talking about. But the topic of this game is Gears of War for Xbox 360.
If you'd like to contribute, I suggest you go and play it for the first time.
Clearly you have not.
And who would buy it? The Wii has very low attachment rates, and almost all of the games sold are Nintendo 1st Party (Mario, Zelda, Metroid)
So, you want a wholly unique Assassin's Creed, written just for the Wii. Do you know how much money they'd loose?
Possibly another AC could be written and released on PSN, XBLA and Wii.
The same is going to be the case with Spore, it will be Spore in name only. Or, The Simpson's came - the developers said i...
There wasnt a better JRPG written this year IMHO. Famitsu gave it a great review, but the Western reviewers gave it Pretty Good reviews.
7.8 / 10 on Metacritic

Its a very solid, approachable and innovative game. Good story, great art direction and innovative features.
For me, this DLC is worth it at a...
In spite of the reviews, we have fun @ my place with Fuzion Frenzy 2.
Xbox LIVE API FTW.
I posted this story recently which got report-abused by the Sony Defense Force @ N4G:
It got "lamed" by SDF until they killed it, but I think it's pretty darn cool:

My brother-in-law (about 60) bought an Xbox 360 just for this game, he plays it non-stop.
I'll have to make sure he doesnt miss this course. He plays the heck outta this title.
The METACRITIC score of Gears of War is 9.4 / 10
http://www.metacritic.com/g...
That is higher than any other PS3 exclusive, not R&C (9.0), Resistence (8.6), Warhawk (8.4) or Motorstorm (8.2).
The *AVERAGE* score for Gears of War exceeds any PS3 exclusive. Who caers if your sore over one review? Wants some cheese with your whine?
"doesn't sell in japan, Microsoft might as well say good bye to the japan market.."
No. See 2.1 above.
"I already think this bundle will not help the 360 sell in japan.. It might move a few consoles in one month but its not going to make a big impact or last long.."
This is Sakaguchi's latest work, Blue Dragon had a bigger impact than they expected. Now, they ship a Forza 2 + Marvel + a Brand New Title from Sakaguchi bundle? ...
