Actually, Microsoft fixed the heat issues in mid-2007, and gave everyone an extended, free fix.
Being an owner of 3 failed PS2s, and 2 perfectly good, never failed Xbox 360s (one upstairs, one down); Microsoft made Sony look like a fool by showing them how to properly treat their customers.
"Flex-Plasma In-sight display".
Ha! Nice.
how many stories of polls about Xbox 360 heat-failure have been posted on this site? 3? 4?
The N4G sony-mafia is turfing any anti-Sony stories and approving EVERY anti-MS story.
There is free content on Xbox LIVE all the time. The final expansion for Oblivion: Free. Halo 3 Forge content is all free. The first Halo 3 mappack is now free.
Stop talking out your anus.

Xbox 360 is open. Want to write a game from the ground up? XNA is free. XNA Community is a channel to deliver your home made game, without any involvement by Microsoft or a publisher. Totally user-community owned.
Forza 2 and Halo 3's Forge are good examples of providing user-generated content to be shared and created.
Xbox 360 is, right now, the most open game console on the market. What PS3 games have user generated content right now? ...
This is great news. And, a pretty big deal actually.
Microsoft is doing an end-run on the Cable Channels and Broadcast TV networks. We are going to get rid of the whole concept of "channels" and remove the traditional gate keepers of Video Entertainment.
Video delivered directly to your entertainment center via the Internet is a a "disruptive technology" for Cable/Broadcast industry.
What you are looking at here is the end of ...
What does the HD have to do with it?
I would kill my grandmother if someone would make an videogame out of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.
Oh, and Ace Combat 6 is a fantastic game.
And now they've got it failed. Amazing.
People report "old" for a story posted 31 March 2008.
They report "duplicate", but dont post a duplicate link.
This story is: PS3 will get some non-game, themes and things.
The Xbox 360 will _ALSO_ get themes, gamerpics and things.
What is the point of this article _at all_?
The summary is 100% wrong, the PS3 isnt getting any Expansions. Comparing PS3 themes (home or otherwise) to the Xbox 360 Exclusive Expansions is totally stupid.
Its like apples and oranges. And, the Xbox 360 is also getting the apple.
So, PS3 & Xbox 3...
@9.1
This is such a BS story its unbelievable.
Did you buy GTAIII: Vice City? GTAIII: San Andreas? THAT is what the PS3 is not getting.
IN-GAME CONTENT. What this article says is that the PS3 is going to work on the PS3. Thats it. HOME integration? Big deal. You dont even know what features that HOME is going to deliver, will Sony come to match the features on Dashboard and in-game via Guide?
Xbox 360's GTAIV will _also_ have ...
GTA III was outsold by GTAIII: Vice City and GTAIII: San Andreas.
The Xbox 360 Exclusive Expansions is a _very_ significant advantage for people who care about GTA.
I know more than one person who's going sell his PS3 and buy an Xbox 360 because of this.
How the *FCUK* this get approved?
"According to Playstation World Magazine, Rockstar will in a way aid Sony in launching Accomplishments for the system, Themed spaces for Home and provide exclusive content for the PS3 (although not as large scale as the 360's exclusive content) after the release of the 360's episodes. "
Is totally ridiculous. This part is totally misleading:
"provide exclusive content for the PS3 (although not as la...
Title is _wrong_:
"PSW Confirms Exclusive GTA IV Downloadable Content for the PS3 and Home Inclusion"
Should read "PSW Confirms Exclusive GTA IV NON-GAME CONTENT Downloads for the PS3 and Home Inclusion"
or somesuch.
How did this crap get approved with a title and description like that?
GTAIII had two expansions. Vice City and San Andreas. Each of those sold _more_ than GTAIII.
So, yeah, the exclusive Expasions are kind of a big-deal.
Sony gave Warner Bros. $400 M to drop HD-DVD.
I guess when Sony does this stuff, its a-ok with you then?
Both the PS4 & Xbox 720 are in development. Dont be daft.
The Xbox 360 has just as much future as the PS3, dont suck up Sony's 4D, emotion engine, super computer marketing. Dont be ridiculous. You just sound like a victim of marketing
Your software in 2008 argument is tired. FF is nothing without Sakaguchi. And, Square has triAce (of Star Ocean fame) making a exclusive Xbox 360 game, and Last Remnant will be cross. So, Square is making 1 exclusive for b...
How ridiculolus.
PS3 is selling, worldwide, roughly about 800,000 units per month. There are 9 months left this year.
That means about 7,000,000 more by the end of the year, or about ~18 Million.
There are more than 18M Xbox 360s in the world _right_now_.
If there was _NOT_ another Xbox 360 sold for the rest of the year, it may happen.
Do you think that's going to happen?
The fact is that neither is goi...
Pot calling the Kettle black.
How many HUNDREDS of MILLIONS did Sony spend to get their MPAA friends to NOT publish on HD-DVD?
Its been reported to be $400 Million ALONE to Warner Brothers. What about the other stuidos?
Sony's usual arrogance at work here -- do as we say, not as we do.
For every sony zealot and apologist above me who's lamenting "MSFT throwing their money around" better get it straight. What Sony has done...
They fixed the heat-issues in mid-2007.
Why havent you been paying attention? Here's a good look at the fixes:
