Now that would be a great way to get all of the people hesitant about trying out Linux a chance to experiment with it a little, and get a real good feel for the program.........NOT TRYING TO BASH but I honestly wonder if Microsoft will at any time open up the Xbox360 a little to the possibility of Linux or any other external programs?

Sony should have developed and preinstalled its own fast,optimized distro of linux that had full access to the h/w - sony linux os.

it should have also included optimized versions of Openoffice, theGimp, inkscape, Scribus, nVu, Thunderbird & firefox so you have all your basic productivity needs.

The ps3 should have been a Pc alternative from the very start.

just as i was saying a year ago...the Pc Console (games,internet,media center,productivity) is the future.

make it so Sony............and bring on your version of the wiimote - the playmote.

The Duck has spoken.

...is probably the worst game I have ever played.Its so bad I laughed about it for like an hour.Captain Rainbow...holy sh!t...Captain Rainbow...are you f#@king serious.I give it 8 out of 10 because it made me laugh.Only $4.99 and I've never been more ripped off.

MAsTeR_STrInGER5932d ago (Edited 5932d ago )

the sixaxis is a complete failure!! the XBOX 360 controller is far more fitting for the gaming industry AND COMMUNITY!. playstation brand is a joke like a missle d*ck or some sh*t!!

ATLRoAcH5932d ago

but not the ha ha kind of funny.

xsteinbachx5932d ago

does it pleasure you to look so retarded? that's why your in the open zone, and that's where you'll stay.

TwissT5932d ago

Yeah you must be an expert on failures your xbox 360 fails all the time lol. Sorry couldn't help it, he was asking for it.

Reggie Fils- Aime5932d ago

i agree the SixAxis is a failure, but so is the Xbreak controller

the Wiimote is the best controller out there

PoeBoy5932d ago

"the XBOX 360 controller is far more fitting for the gaming industry AND COMMUNITY"

I own both systems... That said, you couldn't be any farther off by your comment.

The 360 controller is heavy, bulky, sh!tty wireless, sh!tty headphone jack, and you have to buy the rechargeable battery pack separately.

The SixAxis 'feature' of the controller does not work well. But all in all they did a much better job on the PS3 controller then the 360.

And to compare the ps3 / 360 controller to the Wii... They are in 2 different categories. One is for gamers & the other is for small children and the elderly.

"The game was controlled entirely by the analog sticks. As far as I know that is a complete glitch and it isn't supposed to happen at all"...
...
....is there any Validity to his claim? Has anyone else got Lair to work with the Analog Sticks? If so I might have to pick up Lair...

pwnsause5932d ago

there has been a rumor that factor 5 might patch lair to use alternate contols(analog sticks) if so, the game should be re-reviewed.

Ju5932d ago

Lair always worked with analog stick thru remote play and (!) with an USB controller. I used a Logitech Dualshock (is that the name, gotta look that up), and that, if connected always is recognized as the first controller, then the SIXAXIS follows as "2" and so on.

So, what he did is, he had a USB wheel which got the first slot assigned. But Lair requires a slot "1" to play. That works fine with my USB controller, but he had to reassign the slot - which you can do without disconnecting the USB controller. Just go to the PS menu and reassign the controller to one. Seams if you do so, the sticks are active on the SIXAXIS and not the motion sensing. Interesting find.

Reggie Fils- Aime5932d ago

who cares about what the POS3 does when you can be having so much fun with the Wii

Droids and Bots have lost- Wii is the victor with its outstanding software

PoeBoy5932d ago

My 4 year old nephew plays the Wii... Other then Wii bowling... the system sucks and is for little kids like yourself

Reggie Fils- Aime5932d ago

the Reggie-meister is 46 years old so stop crying about the crap games on the crap console you have whether it be the POS3 or Xbreak 3fixme

PoeBoy5932d ago

Do you always refer to yourself in 3rd person? Creepy...

And once again, you fit the category in which the Wii is perfect for you. Is that how you get your daily exercise?

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1821d 9h ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie1d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

ApocalypseShadow57m ago

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere15h ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow1h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

RNTody1d 12h ago (Edited 1d 12h ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno1d 11h ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Sheppard7t31d 9h ago

How did Sony kill the series?

Inverno1d 9h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii20h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno18h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
