The reason for the higher price is simply that Activision expect it to sell by the bucket load, pure and simple. If the demand is percieved to be there then the price goes up and companies sit back and reap the profits without having to do anything extra. And if anyone thinks that a higher price will mean extra content in the game and no downloadable content to pay for then they are living in a dream world. The COD franchise is now seen as a cash cow by Activision and they will milk it for al...

Well I've been playing video games for over 20 years and I can say Killzone 2 is, for me, head and shoulders above every other shooter. I do find the 'generic' statements quite ridiculous every shooter is 'generic' they have to be to keep you on a path towards your objective and as for sub par dialogue !!! come on dont tell me the gameplay was ruined because you didn't find the dialogue awe inspiring. And whats with the addiction to ranks and medals I play games that excite me, not for some l...

Best FPS ever in my book, the controls are excellent and can be highly customised the single player campaign was superb and varied the graphics are unmatched and the skill level required to compete online is very high, while I am about average on Killzone 2 when going back to other FPS I finish in the top 3 every time without too much effort, that is probally why a lot of people can't take to Killzone 2 they dont like to get their arses kicked and flock back to the easy pickings offered by ot...

With todays broadband speeds and download limits is this service going to be viable for millions of people, and just how much is it going to cost to watch a movie over this service, what effects will heavy loads on servers cause to the streaming could it remain uniterrupted ? A good service it may offer but you just can't beat physical media and for all the talk of digital downloads replacing disc's I just dont see it ever happening. Digital downloads will continue to grow but wont ever repla...

How are Sony losing ground every year. The PS3 is gaining ground on the 360 in terms of sales and what exactly do you mean by a massive failure ? EA's fiscal results for 2008 showed the software sales on PS3 to be up by 192% so I dont think it's too worrying now is it.

The PS3 has sold 23 million consoles and it has sold them faster than the 360 managed, it has the best exclusive games available on any system (P.C. included), a built in Bluray player, free online gaming network with a host of features to suit all tastes. It is produced by a comapny with the foresight to build up a large and highly talented array of first party developers, to ensure quality software on a regular basis without having to rely too heavily on third party devs. So not only is it ...

I'm not too taken with motion control up to now. The Wii's controls never grabbed me even though I wanted to like them and the PS Eye games where you wave your arms and move your body about, like Trials Of Topoq, just dont do anything for me at all. That said the Sony demo of the 'Wands' did look like it could be used to good effect in complex games, Natal on the other hand hasn't shown anything that looks good to play, the demo showed a couple of mini game but nothing that would compel me to...

Not played a lot of RPG's but I'll definately be giving this one a go. That was a really intriguing opening sequence,looked fantastic it's got me hooked.

And Activision had the nerve to tell Sony to lower the price of the PS3. They have got to be kidding.

What the hell are you babbling on about. Out of the rubbish you just typed the one thing I find hardest to believe is that you've got any friends at all.

I see lots of people still trying to convince themselves that paying for XBL is worth it. If you look around you'll see more and more people are waking up to the realisation that XBL isn't worth the money. Yes it's a good service with good features but paying to play online just because of cross game chat and party support and 'oh it's so easy to join a game with my buddies' is bull and lets be honest thats about all XBL offers you for your money. Then we get the it's only xxx bucks per month...

So the bundle includes a game and a Bluray so what is their point exactly ? The headline made it sound like people just wanted a Bluray player when in fact people obviously want to take advantage of the PS3's game/movie capabilities with a one package deal.

I too am still to be convinced by motion control games, got a Wii wanted to like it but it just didn't do it for me I'm afraid. Give me a controller any day and as for Milo, talking to a character in a game just does not sound right to me at all. Each to their own I suppose

BluRay is the only way to watch HD movies for me, I would much rather buy or rent the disc than pay to stream or download HD movies over the web.

Developers are the ones who would love a one console future, but I just can't see it happening and I certainly hope it doesn't because the constant race to one up the competion is what drives innovation and helps to develop better products. That said as the power and abilities of consoles has improved the expectations of people seem to increase at an even faster rate.

I dont believe for one second that this wont be released on PC. This is probally a cute way of trying to get 360/pc owners to buy the 360 version. My guess it will release on PC 6 months after 360.
