"Besides, the hard drive in the pS3 is *standard*. It's there so developers can use it!
What would be worse? I will tell you -- the hard drive being standard and NOBODY using it! Then you would have owner after owner griping about how they have a hard drive that never gets any developer love!
Personally I'd be pissed if they *weren't* using my hard drive for games."
I use it for, Demos, Movie Trailers, Music, Pictures, and soon im sure Movie downloads...
Im a deffo fan of the GT series, however i wish they would put simulated damage in the game. I swear down if idiots start pushing me into walls or of the track on a corner to get a position i will go back to Forza2 for online play!
Erm, did you read the article at all?
"Kim said not to expect a lifespan for the Xbox 360 on par with its predecessor, pointing to the strategic benefit of launching a year before a pair of current-gen competitors."
If the 360 will not have a lifespan the same as the original Xbox that would mean the next Xbox would be due late 2009 early 2010, as the 360 has entered her 3rd year, please correct me if im wrong.
Or do you think MS will abandon ...
Well look, im not going to comment on things i don't know about regarding drive speed ect.
However i am a long time gamer, and this install trend has me worried. Not once in my life have i had to upgrade a console. For the rest of the fanboy PS3 owners who keep saying "get a bigger HDD, delete your old games blah blah blah" why the hell should i?
Do you people not play several games at a time? Like online games, and single player games? Guess not thats why ...
"Kim said not to expect a lifespan for the Xbox 360 on par with its predecessor, pointing to the strategic benefit of launching a year before a pair of current-gen competitors."
I find this interesting and disturbing at the same time. My problem with this is how are they going to release the next Xbox in under 2yrs, with new tech and expensive hardware against a much cheaper PS3 who's ball will be rolling in full swing by that time. Lets face it, we are at a standard no...
I really enjoyed GeOW, it was, for me the first truly next gen tittle to show of what we shld expect from our next gen console/s. I dunno about changes, they did a good job with the first 1 so i think ill leave epic to figure out what the second 1 should be like, and im sure they'll do a good job again.
Couple of people have said it should include FP,.... keep it 3rd person please.
I actually enjoyed playing Lair, its the first game on the PS3 ive bothered to buy, the rest ive rented. (Ive only owned my PS3 for a month )
But then maybe its because i didnt try to fly my Dragon like an F18 Hornet?
Jeez theres so much crap floating round the net these days, it makes me want to punch my monitor.
With the new Falcon model i think the hardware issues should be a thing of the past with new owners, or should i say hope so? My 360 has broke once in 2yrs, it went away and i had a replacement in 7 days which i thought was pritty good personally. However i understand others have not been so lucky.
The 360 has been a success in lots of ways as they are now making money instead of losing it, and in terms of earning capacity its the highest on the chart thanks to niffty ideas like ...
An intelligent article. Couple of my mates bought wii but all they play is wii sports so they can kik my ass when i go rnd hehe
This yr will be big for PS3 no doubt.
"Microsoft has successfully made the Xbox line a permanent part of the gaming industry. If the 360 had flopped, the original Xbox could have been looked back upon as a mere flash in the pan. Rather, the 360 is more dominant than its predecessor and plays a pivotal role in Microsoft's larger strateg...
"Another thing that microsoft does is use DVD formats and compress the hell out of the games and to fit in in there
Compressed graphics is not better than uncompressed."
Your point being wot exactly? That compressed is worse? Maybe u shld do some research.
Ya know, this thread was actualy started of intelligently by niall77 asking what exactly is behind the rise of the PS3. But once again it will turn into a flame war between each camp.
I...
i see wot your saying however i think u shld give MS some credit. The first Xbox went up against a giant and proved that Sony cld be challenged in the market and proved themselfs as a worthy contender. You say the 360 was out first but how much of a lead did the PS2 have on the XBOX which sold arnd 40mil i think, credit due? Also when Sony entered the market with the PS1, it was at a time when consoles had started to hit a rut, saturn, jaguar ect. When the PS2 was released, again the only com...
when i frist saw this in a tech demo i was pritty excited and sad at the same time as i only owned a 360 then.
Now i own a PS3, i am ubber wanting this game! Even if i have to use my whole 40gig for an install.
I hope to hear more on this at GDC.
I bought a 37in 1080p tv, i alrdy have a 360 so i wasnt goin to buy a 2nd and its alot of hassle to move it arnd from my gaming station (misses owns the tv even tho i bought it!)
With the advent of warner moving to Blu-Ray and the 40g SKU bein cheaper i decided that the PS3 was the way to go as it wld offer me some gaming aswell as HD movies (the latter being why my misses let me get it and not moan like f**ck hehe) and ive had the other 2 sony products aswell.
Its funny how wii users fan the flames between xbox and ps3 coz there to scared to mention there gamecube 1.5 for fear of ridicule lol
Well if this trend continues i can see it hurting Sony big time on software sales in the future and i dont mean this yr.
As for me, ill play eclusives on my PS3 and multiplat games on my 360
U, in no WAY, represent me as a PS3 owner pal.
Hey Spandexx, i havent needed to upgrade my 360hdd for 2yrs mate, and see no reason to in the coming yrs (i wldnt upgrade it anyway btw) but if this continues on PS3 ill be having to jus so i can play and replay my games. 40gig is not alot when u include demos music trailers!
Oh and as for burnout u moron, u can play it but u cant play it ONLINE, theres a diff, so cld u pls GET ur facts right! (on another note i do feel for core owners on that 1, but at least they can play it) <...
Raptor, why shld i have to upgrade my £400 console? That is supposed to be superior in every way to anything on the mkt??? pls tell me!!!!
Wow, i find some peoples comments amusing here...
1.1 - I can only laugh
Everything will be the same on both consoles, except the "ultimate experience" you will have is 2 extra episodes....
<sarcasm>
:| I really want a 360 now </sarcasm>
Yet when a game is released multiplat and the PS3 has a better frame rate or graphics it is heralded as a reason to buy the system over the other. Yet extra content, which will le...
