High Velocity Bowling...
Though my gf and I love to play Halo 3, Lego Star Wars and Gears together. She also loves to play Ratchet, Uncharted and UT3 when she's looking for some 'alone' time. Man... my gf is awesome ;)
I like the controller layout for the 360, esp for shooters and would pick one up w/ the dpad and left joystick switched. Rumble... I honestly don't care, but I'm in the minority on that one.
That joystick/mouse combo looks pretty cool. Wonder how it works w/ shooters...
This is the only region where HD-DVD is even somewhat alive. WW numbers are what I care about. The US isn't the only movie buying country...
Hear me out here because this looks like all skulls and crossbones for Sony, but I think there is some good news hidden in this article.
1) As pointed out earlier, movie buffs are buying the PS3 for movies. I don't see how this is bad. It gets a larger userbase, and while the attach rate may not be good, if there are 50 Million people that buy 2 games it is the same as 25 Million people buying 4. This also means that there is a higher chance for the PS3 to get mainstream.
When in < 5 yrs movies aren't made on DVD anymore...
And if you don't believe me, just look at VHS -> DVD. VERY similar things are already happening...
Hopefully this will be awesome...
So your problem w/ the PS3 is that it doesn't upconvert from it's native resolution to 1080p? Does your TV not support 720 or 480 signals? That doesn't make a whole lot of sense... Did you set up your PS3 correctly? My PS3 works fine on both my 2 yr old 1080i LCD and my new 1080p DLP. I guess I just don't understand the issues you're having...
Who did they win against?
Shipped = Sold to retailers
Sold to retailers mean they were bought from M$. They don't see 'more' money if the retailers sell more. The retailers just order more which means more shipped. If they shipped less this holiday season they sold less this holiday season and retailers were not ordering as many as last year.
This isn't rocket science, but spin away my friend, because a dip in the amount of sales is not good after the #1 selling game on the system was ...
'Unreal Tournament 3 flopped in term of sales compared to a game called Gears of War you released on the XBox 360'
It has been out what, a whole month, and not even WW, plus it has WAY more competition than Gears did on the 360. Not only that, but it was also released on the PC and the PS3 version is what is making them the money. Also, the money they make from selling the UE to prospective dev companies means that they could have sold zero copies of the game and STILL become...
This isn't even news? It's complete speculation w/ a 'map' drawn w/ MSPaint. 4 new weapons... what are they? UE3.5... WTF is that? Twice as big... you got that from this one mspainted map.
Come on...
See, that's the kind of crap I'm talking about. You don't even know the state of development and you're already talking about the PS3 version being a) worse than the 360 version and b) delayed because 'most multi-plats always do.'
Can't we just talk about how awesome this game is going to be w/out the fanboy BS?
Also the quote 'most multi-plats always do.' reminds me of '60% of the time, it works every time'. It made me LOL.
I don't know about you, but I WANT my developer to be a stoner ;)
Main reason: Halo 3
Can you imagine what sales would have been like w/out the Halo effect? It moved so many consoles. Now I just gotta get those other must have titles... Used Gears, Bioshock and Mass Effect. Is Half.com a good place to get used games?
You are the one that is fooled my friend, along w/ many of my western brothers...
Premium + Live = $399
40 GB PS3 = $399
Elite + Live = $499
80 GB PS3 = $499
Though I also have a 40GB model for my bedroom TV. Can't be w/out BluRay in the bedroom...
I may take a day off just so I can have time to myself on my new 65" TV. Anyone know if this will be native 1080p?
Edit: Disagree bandit, is that you?
But probably after I finish all the other AAA titles scheduled for this year plus the backlog of games I still need to finish.
These screens look cool, but what about gameplay? I've seen it on the PS3/360, but I want to see how the graphics respond on the wii. Screenshots are ok, but I want a small amount of gameplay.
I got a PS2 when it first came out and got lots of enjoyment out of it( ~5 yrs). I then picked up an Xbox and once I did never played the PS2 again until FFXII came out. I wasted so much time on the two Halos and the Two KoTOR and bought soooooo many used games for $5 that I never had time or a reason to go back to my PS2... hmmm... go figure.
