In the service contract it states: In the rare event that the Microsoft Entertainment Device can't be fixed, they will comfort you with a replacement model.
If all else fails and their service professionals actually conclude that the consumers Microsoft Entertainment Product is beyond repair, Microsoft will provide them with a replacement including the latest features. So their Microsoft Service Contract can pay for itself several times over with this benefit alone.
Vapourware can end up being the stuff of legend, like Rockstar's Agent, Star Wars 1313, or StarCraft: Ghost. Without ever seeing the light of day, these games never risked the possibility of being played and forgotten, and instead live on forever as the subjects of lengthy YouTube essays.
Still, Molyneux's most notable lost game (or tech demo, depending on who you asked at the time) was arguably Project Milo.
I can see the potential of the kinect hardware... its rather impressive tech, but it was just not meant to be for gaming. If anything, MS had a huge missed opportunity to have used it for the AR/VR projects.
You can use the Kinect as an SLS camera for paranormal investigations. So it wasn’t a complete failure.
Remember Star Wars Kinect announcement? Biggest laughable acting seen
"Unfortunately, as we were developing Milo, so the Kinect device was being developed. And they realised that the device that Alex Kipman first showed off would cost $5,000 for consumers to buy.
"So they cost-reduced that device down to such a point, where the field-of-view...I think it was a minuscule field-of-view. In other words, it could only just see what's straight in front of you."
Hmm, exactly what tech was in it, that was cut, affected the development? It was only ever interpreting visual and audio inputs right? The xbox was processing those inputs.
Nor do I see how the field of view thing is relevant to the discussion.
Exactly! Tf kinda BS statement was that? i don't really see how fov is relevant at all, since when do you move all around a room while talking/interacting to someone?
This is entirely untrue. There was never a 5000 dollar Kinect prototype that could somehow use a wider field of view to scan and import generated in-game items and advance AI by over a decade. Anybody that fell for this was a stupid moron child, myself included. Anybody that falls for this lie now is a stupid moron child who doesn't realize that these people *only* know how to lie.
Sora might be one of the most hyped guest characters in fighting games, but these other guest characters are no slouch either.
Game Rant gets a first look at the upcoming official Guild Wars 2 cookbook, along with a preview of the exclusive Butterknife spear skin.
It seems that the "Microsoft" extended warranty is still in full effect. And the fact that "Gamestop" is not going to offer their own warranties doesn't mean that Microsoft doesn't still offer theirs.
Not only that but when 360's are sent in for repairs they get all of the upgraded parts.
So basicly all 360 purchases are still covered by the Official Microsoft Warranty.
ohh and whomp whomp...
report this as SPAM
Just the fact you say these new parts will unsure the end of hardware failure just hasnt been proving yet.
If you want to prove it get someone to run a stress test! 108hours in at all different temps!
THE RED RING OF DEATH is costing microsoft billions LMAO
I want a 360 with HDMI :)
