PlayStation Beat: With Microsoft placing a heavy emphasis on using the Xbox One for live television, one can’t help but to realize the Xbox 360 does it better.

insta approved for the boys.

i wonder how many people that visit n4g DONT visit it to read the same stuff just with different slants repeated over and over again??

it's like ground hog day on here now. except it is a plethora of no name blogs sites, writing the same rubbish daily for hits.

and no i aint mad bro, i have all the consoles and will do come november

malokevi4042d ago

This just in: here's my opinion. I put a bow on it, to make it seem less trivial.

Foxgod4042d ago

Wasnt it so that you only require a box, if you already use a box right now?
Aka tv without box doesnt need box on XB1.

Cmk01214042d ago

good points, its just time saving measure, but other than that no different than xbox 360 capabilities so far, just no need to switch inputs...MEH

Have you ever multitasked on the 360? How about loading one of the video apps? 360 may do some things like Xbox One can but its slow and very limited in terms of what it can do at the same time. Xbox One appears to improve on almost all of what the 360 does in major ways. Same can be said for the PS3...loading up Netflix.. switching out from Netflix to a game...its a SLOW process and limited in what it can do at the same time.

Agreed. Xbox360 is slow. oh well.

famoussasjohn4042d ago

But with the Xbox One, you wouldn't have to go through the Fios app to watch my channels and such. I wouldn't say the 360 does it better, since the only way to watch TV is through an application. You also don't get all the channels through the application so it's kinda useless if you want to watch something on a certain channel but it's not available through the app.

I can also already play video games on my PS3 and 360, listen to music and watch movies. What's my incentive to upgrade?

Oh that's right...people complain about options.

Mortal Kombat 9 Is Still NetherRealm's Best Game 13 Years Later

Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."

I like which ever one, Raiden was speed blasting muthafkers.

I agree. 9 was awesome

Shaolin Monks next please

vTuro245h ago

Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.

vTuro245h ago

That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.

The Dishwasher
Vigilante 8

Two non-BC and no-PC-version Arcade titles I downloaded recently. Dishwasher's sequel is on Steam at least.

I've also downloaded Ninety-Nine Nights II (shame the first wasn't available). I still want to download Burnout 3: Takedown before the weekend's up, though that is still the full $9.99 non-discounted price

franwex6h ago

Burnout 3 not available in modern times is a crime to humanity.

I know it’s probably due to the music licensing-though they can simply add other music as Burnout 3’s biggest flaw to me personally-is the music!!!

Xbox gamers warned they've 72 hours before a ton of classic games are gone forever

The Xbox 360 Marketplace is officially shutting down in three days, which means dozens of exclusive, digital-only 360 games will no longer be available to purchase anywhere else once it does.

The Xbox 360 will be almost 20 years old next year, and to celebrate this milestone Microsoft have decided to obliterate all of its online functionality.

Phil Spencer: "Game preservation is critical to us at Team Xbox."

Technically, the games ARE preserved... they are just removing the ability to purchase new games through the 360. They have to keep a full backup of every title (even delisted ones) because they will have to offer the ability to redownload purchased content to users.

I had deleted some games a few years back that had become delisted. I was able to get them back by going through my download history. The games in question were TMNT (classic and re-shelled), afterburner climax and outrun online. Im glad I was able to get those back as they are some of the best on the service.

Lightning779h ago

Well The Ultimate Alliance games have been delisted. I dunno how many old Activision games have been Delisted but MS needs to remake or remaster old Activision games and release them on Xbox and PS. I. Hope that's what they're doing right now.

They can't reserve everything but they 100% can reserve what they got or own.

Fortunately, the X360 was jailbroken a long time ago, so a good part of its library is available for download from 'alternative' sources. Still, it's a bummer to see the store going away.

Dawn of The First Day
-72 Hours Remain-

Also they can keep the store up for life if they wanted.

hiawa238h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Series X for the back compat titles, and OG Xbox and X360 for those not on BC. I pretty much bought all of the digital games I want for the 360 so I am good.

anast7h ago

They are holding games hostage so people spend more money. This is some sleazy stuff.

Reaper22_5h ago

No, not telling you would be sleazy. I have a few more games to buy then I'm good. 360 was and still is a great console. Xbox is the best place to play!

anast5h ago

I'm not sure we are on the same page.

kennyg1232h ago
