Oh, and the best thing about the heat failures?
A) The machine was *FIXED* in mid-2007 to fix the problem.
B) Every owner gets a free, customer-friendly, no hassles repair.
Now, if ONLY Sony would have done that for the three PS2s I have broken in my closet.
When MS had a problem, it took care of its customers. When Sony had a problem, it screwed them (me).
Did you ever buy GTAIII: Vice City or GTAIII: San Andreas?
Do you know anyone who CHOSE to buy GTAIII after those Expansions had been released?
In *FACT* more people bought GTAIII:VC and GTAIII:SA than bought GTAIII.
I (and many others) own BOTH expansions *and* the original.
Sorry, you're attempt to underestimate the Exclusive Expansions is total failure.
Yesterday when Kojima told them;
"But the graphic, side things like motion-blending and the size of the map, totally was not accomplished to my original vision - to my satisfaction"
"but when we actually started developing the game, we realized there were a lot of restrictions and so it turned out how you see it today."
"I remember saying three years ago that we wanted to create something revolutionary, but in reality we co...
Get it through your head: The expansions are GTAIII:VC and GTAIII:SA in scale.
We have known this since day one. It was said -- that clearly -- at GDC. And, the second link is from CVG.
===
* When MS says exclusive, they mean that no other system can have DLC content for GTAIV
* It will be bigger than a lot of people think. GTA3 Vice City and San Andreas were basically expansions of GTA3. Think of the DLC that way. We are talking major ...
@1.1
But the Xbox 360 *is* getting the DLC.
Its the PS3 owners trying to pretend like it doesnt matter.
See, confusing the subject with your strawmen is silly, they are awful easy to knock down when they are totally empty.
I'll repeat what he said:
"anybody who buys GTAIV and says they dont want DLC are just ****ing retards"
But, I would refine it to be:
"anybody who buys GTAIV ...

Go here and learn why graphics are only one part of a videogame: http://www.forzamotorsport....
Forza == innovation. GT5 == a shiny snore.
@18.1
You forgot the worst news of all, straight from Kojima himself:
"But the graphic, side things like motion-blending and the size of the map, totally was not accomplished to my original vision - to my satisfaction."
"when we actually started developing the game, we realized there were a lot of restrictions and so it turned out how you see it today."

The fact is that the PS3 games are getting *WORSE*.
Oh, and the three best selling exclusive PS3 games? All shooters:
Resistence, Uncharted and R&C.
So, you can stuff it. Shooters sell best across all the consoles.
"He knows the small market share MS has really bites hard on "are game looks better"
Wow, what colour is the sky on Planet Stupid?
Last time I checked, 10M PS3s was much less than 18M Xbox 360s.
*AND* As for marketshare, well, the Xbox 360 has the HIGHEST ATTACH RATE in HISTORY.
You know how many copies of UT3 Epic sold on PS3? 410,000. Can you imagine that?
UT3 on PS3 is 30th on the list of top sell...
A PS3 owner bringing up "waiting" for anything is just TOO funny.
How do you like Virtua Fighter 5 Online? Oh, you dont. How about the Oblivion Expansions? Oh, did you know the last one was free for Xbox 360 owners? There are *dozens* of other instances. Ace Combat 6? Eternal Sonata? Fcuk, those last two are _Japanese_ games!
By the time PS3 gets up to speed and is remotely worthwhile to own, they'll be giving out BluRay players free with cellpho...
Its kinda funny you two refuse to recognize what you just read.
Epic has just told you, "We know some of these great mods are going to play a role on Xbox 360, even if we have to get some people and bring them over ourselves," he said. "We'll figure it out."
So, it looks like Epic (and/or Midway and the LIVE people) will be providing the compiled Mods.
I think Xbox 360 owners will be *VERY* happy to know that their is some kind...
@1.5
You're delusional. Putting these mods on the Xbox 360 isnt a technical problem. Every word on the matter has always been "we need to work out how, because we want to maintain high reliability and security for the consoles and LIVE".
They dont want rampant cheating and security threats -- AND NEITHER DO I.
It would be *TRIVIALLY* easy to write a mod that launched a DDoS (or other disaster) to some kind of trigger. How about writing...
No wonder Kojima wants to stop making these MGS games.
Its like a comedy of errors over there.
@domultra
Yeah, Vista is the 2nd most used OS on the planet. Some "failure"... tool.
@2.3
Speaking of maxed out, this is what Kojima said about the PS3 and MGS4:
"I remember saying three years ago that we wanted to create soething revolutionary, but in reality we couldn't really do that because of the CPU. We're using the Cell engine to its limit., actually."
No one has said anything about 'maxing' the Xbox 360.
But here is Kojima saying he couldnt get his game done because of the PS3's design choices... hm...
Quote:
"As far as creating and sharing content, that is still up in the air. We asked Mark Rein, VP of Epic Games, if there were any plans to bring that feature over to the 360 and he told us they were working with Microsoft to hopefully work something out."

Domultra: Are you that goddamn stupid?
Halo 1: 2001
Halo 2: 2004
Halo 3: 2007
Halo Wars: 2008
Whats your malfunction?
Halo is a MASSIVE success -- and it deserves it -- Bungie, MGS and Ensemble Studios are doing exactly what gamers want, and *real* gamers *WANT* more Halo.
How many R&C games in the last 4 years..? (from metacritic, that last # is the average review score btw)
Playstation 2: Ra...
Looks better than we've ever seen it, and seems to be running smoother too.
