"News coming out of Microsoft as of late has proven that the 360 Pro SKU will be discontinued and the Elite will be taking over the Pro price of $299. This was a tragic move by Microsoft as the Arcade should be the one to bite the dust and then have the Pro drop to $299 considering most people who have the Arcade suffer from buyers remorse."
Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.
Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.
Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.
Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
"Retail locations such as Best Buy have the proof already set up in their systems as the 160GB model’s expiration date is December 1st 2013, while the 80GB model apparently expires September 27th 2009."
Very interesting. I wonder what this means for the next set of systems? Like I've said before, I'll say again, I hope it is a long ways off, I feel I haven't even made a dent in this generation.
"most people who have the Arcade suffer from buyers remorse."
Most??? I'd like to know where his numbers come from. I've never seen such a survey. Without numbers to back up such a ridiculuos claim, this article has ZERO credibility.
People went after me like it was such a crazy idea..the only reason they wont get rid of t he arcade is to justify there hdd prices..just look at their arcade price the the hdd price is super inflated
the next move of ms:
360fixme $100
I look at it more the other way around. Sony is tipping Microsoft's hand. MS knows that the only thing keeping the PS3 behind is it's high price and they know that a price-cut will make sales of the PS3 go through the roof. To try to negate this momentume, MS is "cutting" their own prices before Sony even announces the PS3 slim. What I'm wondering is, which will have more effect? My guess is the PS3. The Xbox 360 is already extremely cheap and thus price is really not an obstacle for the 360.
