Cnet article focusing on the potential downside of purchasing consoles on release day, and when you should consider making your purchase.
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
be wise to buy next-gen consoles at launch like 360 or ps3...
but its fine if you buy a last generation concole in a new box it would probably be ok..(wii)
If you buy anything at launch (360, PS3, Ipod, whatever), buy a warranty, as there will always be problems with new, complicated devices. This author acts like this is something new.
I bought a warranty with the 360. I am on my 3rd one now. I expect to go through 5 at this rate before they get it right. I will buy one for the PS3 also. Nintendo seems to be the only company that has ever had a reliable launch machine.
I bought a first-run Xbox and a first-run 360, and I've never had a problem with either.
Ssooo... the safe time to buy a first-run console is... now?
This is "NOT" a console only issue.
TV
PC
Media Players
Paintball Guns
etc, etc
Anything on its "FIRST TIME" out will either
A) have issues (although my launch 360 still runs great)
or
B) Will be improved over time
-------
It is not that it NEVER happens that the FIRST RUN is a GOOD RUN, but "First Adoopters" of a new product should be aware that they are in a way doing the "Beta" testing.
Cheers
