But two things I'm confused on. 1) I want to know how is there going to be a 160 HI DEF games by the end of the year. Even if you add whats out I don't think there that many. 2). He brings up GTA IV like it is an exclusive title. I thought that it was coming out for both The 360 and PS3. If I'm wrong than my bad.

There will be exclusive content through XBOX LIVE for GTA IV.

and when you hear M$ say that the 360 is the only place you can play it...you will notice that he is talking about a combination of games.
he will say something like this:
360 is the only place you can play mass effect, bio shock, fear, and GTA.

if you where to get a PS3, you could play GTA but not the other games too...understand?

Good expanantion USM. And arcaed titles are in 720p and when you add in new games and new arcade titles than yea 160 sounds about right by the end of the year when added all up.

[clayton]

It is coming to both platforms, but you have to pay $600 to play it on the PS3. I'm sure those games include the XBox Live Arcade games as well.

[MoonDust]

It just means we will get downloads people on the ps3 won't get.

[THELANDSOFSAND]

yeah, like levels and characters which totally enhance the game. the new ones for oblivion are awesome!

:)

[OutLaw]

Thank you for clearing that up for me.

[shotty]

I think its 160 games with the arcade titles.

[FamoAmo]

Yup your right the arcade games are included!! Even though fall and winter 06 hella 360 games drop but not 160 so arcade is included!

[Jay da 2KBalla]

this is going to be a great holiday to own a 360.

[THELANDSOFSAND]

i agree jay

hey, whats your gamertag?

[PS360PCROCKS]

yeah hell yea I am all for GTA and the fact we have live and the updates is probably the best thing Microsoft has on Sony at this point, but we all know they will emulate this, serect!
