Ps3 slim is being introduced to minimize their losses on the consoles not mainly to combat slumping sales. . So what if they released the slim version ealier this gen than last, everyone knows Sony has the most expensive console to produce and (being a hardware company at heart) would be stupid if they didn't decrease the cost as early as possible.
and to those that will most probabbly think i'm Sony fanboy, pls don't bother.. I would have bought a 360 if it wasn't for 1- RROD 2-...
I'm from the ME(Bahrain)..I bought a ps3 for MGS4,FREE online, blu ray, and reliability..I can't speak for the (3 frends that are)360 users over here but i can tell u that I usually can't play online cuz of the bad lag i get when my inet speed drops from 2mb to measly 128k after the limit.. I hope that answers ur question..
Although I've had impulses to buy a 360 a few times but quickly remembered the RROD.. I'm thinking of just upgrading my GPU to an HD 4870 x2, get a 360 cont...
@hesido
I agree 100% except for the fact that they've already split the user base since all games on the PSP will be digital. Cudn't they just add a simple patch to the digital downloads to support both nubs?
Sony can go on and on about why they just cudn't add the other nub (which let remind u guys is their 4th PSP model)I don't buy any of it..
I simply won't ever buy another PSP untill they add it..
I have to admit that MS's console does seem more tempting to purchase this gen but i'm not giving in until I see a hardware revision.
Good Article. but I think he missed a few points. Its not like its all MS's fault. I'm sure MS loves the fact that they can simply wave a couple of $$$ to entice developers. but don't forget that Sony were the ones who never delivered the PS3, the dev kits, or the games early enough.The fact is Sony came out saying "next gen doesn't start until we say so". lol they needed some straightening out!Also the market share is more even now as opposed to last gens PS2 dominance.Soon it woul...
I'm not sure if ur last comment was meant for me but thats exactly why I've never purchased an x360. mainly the subscription fee and the RROD.
I agree with Hooby. I've noticed them moving towards the money milking schemes. And I have to add they're getting better at it!
-they keep updating wow with patches to reshuffle characters' moves so players eventually have to re balance their characters overtime.
-SOOO many barriers to actually complete the game.u can't even finish the story without having 25 man party to finish Ilidin.
- no way points, or quest helper. to make u aimlessly run around and...
Does this guy have a death wish or something? he's one DUMB ASS persistent b*tch.
I used to be a muslim and i'm PROUDLY an Atheist atm.
I don't think this guy should be punished for removing it and apologizing for his actions.
but with all due respect to the "free speech" troopers around here i still think that they should have banned, gave him a fine, or atleast changed the name of the game "IF he kept it on". cause simply racism shouldnt be encouraged.
"No I don't believe in people doing that but that isn't the point. You obviously have no clue what Freedom of Speech is and you are trying to force your own opinion of what is right onto others. Nothing that person did was illegal, so why should it be taken down?"
listen man ur either for the first amenment or not? there is no difference between a dumb ass shaik preaching to kill americans or a developer puting a game out that says to kill all muslims. u can't be for a...
so ur ok with the all the shaikhs of mosques in afghanistan/pakistan who preach to kids day and night to "kill america! kill america!"? can u honestly say its ok? that they are protected by the first amendment?i bet if one comes knocking on ur door with a bomb ud change ur mind. I would love to hear u thoughts then. lol
freedom of speech(which btw i'm not against) is one thing, promoting to massacre groups of ppl is another. its one step towards genocide!
its not ...
I can't believe that some of you actually think that a game that promotes MASSACRE should actually exist in the name of "freedom of speach/expression" I pity you!
I am an arab but dont believe in Islam or any other religion for that matter and somehow i still feel offended. Americans claim they have the best military technology which enables almost 100% accuracy in targeting and yet in almost every war that they were in or supported America caused the most civilian casu...
Why would Konami reject Hayter?A CG movie is PERFECT for MGS! Any actor would ruin snake. I couldn't blame Konami when I first heard that they rejected Hayter to play any part of the film. knowing that he's a script writer I thought he probably wanted to do some drastic change to the movie version or something.. but after finally reading his opinion... Konami would have to be IDIOTS not to include him in the project!
Snake may still be in MGS 5 although not as the Snake we all know.. Cuz after all he is a clone off of the Big Boss. They could always just clone him once more and TADA! Snake arrives once again although with no memories of his past. and they could say that they made some alterations to his DNA for bla bla reasons to add either some new abilities or change his look a bit...
Hold on you mentioned
"you want to know what happens when you try to cram everything into the machine all at once and rush it to the customers? the 360 is what happens."
"Rush all at once?" lol
I know that these features will come out EVENTUALLY but thats what i've been telling myself for years and guess what i'm still waiting.I've had the PSP since it launched and thats how many years ago?We can both agree that both PS3 & PSP XMB support almos...
-For Gods sake has Sony ever heard of SUBFOLDERS?! If they are gonna include a HD with every PS3 we should have a way to organize the content better.
-i don't mind how long it takes to download the firmware updates its just WHY do we have to watch the downloads or the installation bar? If anything takes more than 5-10 mins then just let is perform it in the background!
-i like the new Ingame video recording but it should be standard on all games including mp3 playbac...
The gameplay was fun as hell and loved the CQC!It just lacks that next-gen feel that COD4 achieved. I know its only a beta but I've played all MGS games, waited for too long and I'm sure as hell not gonna settle for anything less than perfect from Kojima san.
My long list of complaints...
well here it goes..
-I found the grenade taking 1/2 your health weird.
-Too many shots to the body to kill an enemy.
-There should be a sprint button somewhere....
I can't seem to finish a single match online! I keep getting disconnected from the server.Really annoying.I thought my connection was the problem but I've tried COD4 and its working fine lag free. Anyone experiencing the same problems?
Just to give u guys an idea of what the pricings are down here:
NTSC = 300.00 BHD = 797.024 USD
or
PAL = 229.00 BHD = 607.540 USD
i just wish they could eliminate the loading. can't they just save our trophy progress as an image (Gamer ID or something) to bypass all the trophy calculations.
another feature that no1 seems to mention is folder management.. its ridiculous without subfolders. Am i the only who thinks its an necessary?
