to $249 for the holidays (my best guess) will throw it into even higher gear. The reason not to drop the price yet is folks are still picking them up with Halo, etc. But come Black Friday, setting it at the same price of the Wii with the new goodies will make it a huge draw. gCM
Edit: CadDad- no, except they're selling at current price as fast as they can make them (Wii), with no sign of slowing, so no reason to even consider a cut yet. A 360 cut would put "some" pre...
I appreciate the humor (and agree), but the Halo edition was logically the most recent one off the production line. Subsequent production runs of the other skus should have the new chipset (again, logically, but not definite-- it could be due to contracts with each manufacturing facility, etc.) gCM
Man, this is way too easy to make fun of. gCM
Canada ;)
and Jack Thompson. "Violent videogame-hating attorney Jack Thompson has since released an ominous statement in which he says that “Justice will be served to the bastards that caused this crime.”" -- Jack, if you had been more vigilant in your legal actions, this tragedy wouldn't have happened. Sleep well, Mr. Thompson! gCM
"I get really into my games and when Brit’ came over to me to watch TV I forgot I was in a game and accidentally strangled her"--except there is no strangling in Bioshock.
The son is at fault, and the parents are next in proximity (though not criminally) as they raised the kid and set his values. Fortunately, the jury likely won't buy that crap, and he'll "accidentally" go to prison for the rest of his life, assuming his lawyer hasn't already set him up for...
Such negativity. A review of your recent posts show you have NOTHING positive to say about anything XBOX 360, but you are quite the PS3 fanboy:
"4 - WHERE THE FU*K IS
Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Unreal Tournament III".
I'm afraid your opinion means nothing on this matter--indeed, why are you even here looking at 360 news if you have nothing worthwhile to contribute? For all others, feel...
Nice punctuation and spelling considering the "dumb" comment:
"Lack of responsability of American youth no wonder their so dumb.
Edit: Disagree? Xbots are running rampant on this site
If they are working and call in sick for no reason to play Halo 3 they just get FIRED"
Sorry, it was too good to pass up. gCM
I don't find much to agree with his Sony quote--doesn't seem like he's too knowledgeable about the market. Surely better days are ahead for Sony, especially when they get the price down. KZ2/FF/Ratchet will drive sales (just as Halo3 WILL drive sales). A guy I worked with is strictly a platformer (Ratchet) and Tiger Woods, so he'll buy a PS3 when price meets his level. IMHO, this holiday will be huge (and next) as more and more people buy HD tvs and want to move from the PS2 (I had a PS2 a...
What a refreshing find on this site, someone who can actually wish the other "side" well with a highly-anticipated launch. Sony fans will have theirs also, when KZ2 arrives. I'll be picking up my copy of H3 tonight.
Who's the tool who disagreed with his comment? Get a life--successful games and competing consoles help us all; no one wants a single console maker, as there's no incentive for improvement, and you'll only get the games they dump into your trough. gCM
Right back at you. We'll probably end up getting pwned in the same matches, as I did during the beta-- its a different style of gameplay than Gears, but I'm willing to put in the time. I can't wait. gCM
but I can't wait for the midnight launch and get some story play and multiplayer in... I love my Gears and played the H3 beta (rented Crackdown, then bought it). I'm just interested to see how the Gears on-line will drop, as I still will want to play that occasionally too. gCM
More crap (FUD) from the internet to make M$ look bad, again. (not that they haven't helped themselves in that arena with the RRoD). gCM
I already agreed, but no way to emphatically agree except an extra, stupid comment. Sorry. Nothing to see, move along. gCM
Sweet, sweet on-line from Ace... Counting the days--Halo3 will make the wait tolerable. gCM
but I understand your point. Going from PS3 -> 360 would require way too much re-work versus going from PC to 360. Proof? The multitude of articles stating the PC and 360 platform are very similar (including M$'s own XNA, which is made for cross-platform--M$ platforms-- gaming development). gCM
(not directed at you Chino3xl) Folks, stop with the "mine is bigger than yours" crap. Play the system that has the games you want. I say this, and yet I know it won't happ...
From TFA: "The other new feature, called WebGuide, is a third-party application that does what Slingbox does, and a whole lot more. Like Slingbox, it is a time-shifting, place-shifting TV viewing solution, but it also lets users schedule TV recordings, access music collections, and in short do pretty much everything you can do with a Media Center … via any Web browser, whether inside the home or from a hotel room halfway around the world."
I didn't see anything on it ...
As long as there's an internet, you're opinion will stand, as will mine calling into question your assessment of his "fanboyism" by simply listing the disclaimer. I also enjoyed the article and the humor, but don't believe his little quips prove he's a fanboy, even if looking between the lines. gCM
"Can I live?" - you leaving it up to me? For now... but don't get c0cky. ;) "(A)nd I am only saying that because I care - there's a lot of decaffeinated b...
"For the record the author has all three Next gen consoles plus a PSP and DS. He isn’t a fanboy of any platorm or company because a good game is a good game no matter who his momma is." gCM
but nobody ever thinks of those poor stunt men and women who risk it all just for our selfish viewing!!! (sarchasm off)
This guy apparently hasn't EVER played Madden--they (licensees) are so hamstrung by what they can and can't show. I hope his grasp for a "hot"/sensationalize d story gets his a$$ kicked from his editor-- and a lot of lost subscribers. How's that for de-sensitized? gCM
Jesus, inflamatory title much for the article?
Nice quote. But it sounds as if you're not a developer. To quote just above the paragraph you used:
"Every developer interview that has mentioned the PS3 at all has stated that they have come no where close to its full potential. It is harder to develop for as they have become adapted to the 360 as the base of their work, and port from there, but now, developers are beginning to look at the PS3 as their foregrou...
