personally i think they need to get rid of the damn power brick, or at least make it smaller... but what do i know.

WafflesID6101d ago

yeah, nevermind that even the WII has an external power brick.

Pick one, External power supply or large console size.

KeMoBLUE6101d ago

it doesn't overheat and shut down every five seconds like the 360. but to answer your question.....larger console. atleast the components in my ps3 can actually breathe

gta_cb6099d ago

what are you on about? every five seconds, i have left my Xbox 360 on for over 30hours straight, i havnt got one with the new heatsink, and i have had no problems with it. infact i am also on my first SKU no problems since i brought it. just because you read "news" it doesnt mean you know what your on about.

Hmmm Well they could of built a power source inside I guess. But its already having heat problems. ( None that I never had mine you, over heating that is )

So maybe MS is better of to keep the brick, for now anyways.
Lets see how the 360's with all the new parts fair?

BIadestarX6101d ago

Sony fanboys will come here.. and scream... "All the people that buy a 360 got screwed!"... hehe.

marionz6101d ago

yeah but let them say what they want, i agree it sucks for those who feel screwed, i havnt had a problem yet and my console seems to work great but i want one with the smaller chips
i dont care bout the power brick, it sits behind the tv so who cares?
all that matters is the games, and if my 360 dies guess what...ill get a new one end of story
if the ps3 was half as powerfull as the 360 maybe it would generate some heat too JK

beavis4play6100d ago

i don't know if they got screwed. but,why is ms putting out new sku's and changing the hardware around every few days. makes one wonder what the he11 they are doing. and some of the stuff they are changing(adding HDMI) contradicts what they said when they launched the 360.(they said HDMI was a waste and that it wasn't necessary)

gta_cb6099d ago

i believe all consoles have stuff added, just think back to the PS2, didnt they release tons of PS2s without an ethernet port? then when XboxLIVE kicked off all of a sudden there was one added? they change bits of hardware to make the product more efficient and better.

mikeslemonade6101d ago

All the people that buy a 360 got screwed!

Cook1eMan6101d ago

So i'm guessing that you own a PS3 or a Wii right? Why dont you think about who really got screwed here, the wii has crappy graphics and the PS3 is a hunk of sh1t that forces people to buy next generation things even if they're not ready for it. Also PS3 has nothing on the 360; they have killzone 2, but everything else is kind of crap. Go away Fanboy

WafflesID6101d ago

I'm thinking you guys missed the humor in post #4.

Go read post #3

And lighten up people :)

djt236101d ago

he is try to say that xbox 360 have so many problem and user just feel screwed!
you dont have to act like fanboy people xbox 360 have problems and you know it.

WafflesID6101d ago

Uhm, nobody said anything like that.

Once again...Go figure out the difference between an obvious joke and a REAL fanboy post.

beavis4play6100d ago

let me get this straight. MGS4, final fantasy, ratchet and clank, socom, and gran turismo are crap? uh, yea, you keep thinking that while you play kameo. and ms is adding to the 360. stuff(hdmi) that you say is worthless.

Cook1eMan6101d ago

I just got another Xbox 360 today. It was manufactured almost a year ago and it has the new power brick and cable. The brick doesnt have the buttons on it and the power cable between the wall and the power brick no longer has a grounding prode. I guess they took the ground out so people can plug them into surge protectors without bricking this time.

gta_cb6099d ago

i brought mine in October 2006, and have ALWAYS had it plugged into a surge protector and guess what.... no problems what so ever... so i guess i will have to disagree with you

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker7h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing697h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto12h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8812h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies2h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis1d 5h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast1d 4h ago

It's worth a play through today.

gold_drake21h ago

the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better
