argue all you want . None of these companies actually know how many have been sold. Its all guesstimated,theres no actualway to track them all. I live in the bronx and have a ton a of local game stores. They get stuff from here and there and theres no way they can track it especially the places that dont charge sales tax cuz they fall off the truck * wink* ps3 /360 games for $40 :)
I personally hate big games like that. 60 man is over kill. I do understand what bungie is say . R2 is supposed to break people into squads so basically they are going to be squads doing their own game and not actually being 1 60man game.
Thats a disgruntled ex employee.
I call bs i highly doubt 3 consoles in the same office all died in the same week. they must keep their office at 120 degrees
This gen there will be maybe 10 at most games that really require the extra disk space.So what if LO needs 4 dvds. Are you all that lazy that you can change the disks.Gears,Uncharted,Ratchet & clank ,unreal 3, bioshock, Resistence all fit fine on standard dvd9. Games will get bigger and that means that you will need a bigger HD on the PS3 because its going to go from the BD to the HD
Its not that bluray is crap tech its just this gen theres no need for it in gaming consoles. its just here so sony can finally get a format since all their others failed.
Depends on if the customer is a good payer. As for MS They sell a few million and then this rrod shows up do you expect them to recall 1 million consoles or 2,3,4 million consoles.Its better for the company to take the loss on the warranty and pr and have customers send in the broken model for a repair than issue a new model or recall everything.If it was a few thousand then sure the other method is better. I don't know where you live but quality control in the generation is bad.Cell pho...
Every company on the planet works that way. From a church to a global market leader. Less is more. MS nor any of the console makers could do a recall. The best way was the chosen 1. Not all consoles were affected by the rrod so a recall would cause more problems.I have 2 launch models working great I am playing cod4 right now.
I see this spike due to the format war being in sony's favor. Bluray is diffinatly helping sell the ps3.
It is messed up that this is happening My brother 360 rrod 2 times so hes on his 3rd console but even tho he missed out playing his 360 for a total of 2-3 weeks ( time it took to get his new consoles ) at least it didnt cost him anything and he got 12 months of live and a few xbl game out of it with a 3 year warrenty and if it happens a gain he gets a brand new system. It does suck but it has happened in the past with other consoles but this is MS and they get abused no matter wha...
You just said ps1 and ps2 were reliable? I hope your joking .I bet Half the ps2s out their are from people buying second or third ps2s because of the drive problems and yes after like 5 years they did fix the issue somewhat. I'm not bashing sony I'm just stating fact.I play my 360 every night and love the system "i have 2 launch models" and I just recenlt got a ps3 as a gift. So im not bashing

How do they look greedy? They are a big comp...
sony had the same if not worse problem with ps 1 and ps2. i know people who went through 4-6 consoles . i personally had to buy 3 ps2s and had sony refurb 1 . My ps1 was junk. The ps2 drive was terrible and sony never helped out as much as MS is doing, I had to fix my ps2 and friends ps2s " thank god for the net " . I do think it has to be fixed and its absurd that its happening at the rate it is.
Thats funny as hell. My 2 launch models have been working great so haha i dont care
GJ! Sony pulled through and the ps3 is doing very well. Competition is great. I have both the ps3 and 360 but I know people whoa re waiting for both systems to have their prices dropped and that will be fun. I wonder how many people bought it just for Bluray .With 10.5- 11 million sold and only having 3+ million on a free network is strange.
id like to see a comparision with the 2 versions. Stating its faster or slower means nothing without proof. i can do that too. I had anal sex with jessica biel last night. See I can do it :)
if you read the whole thing including the comments you would of noticed that the gamespot blogger was wrong tan that the bluray drive is slower gg
What makes you think that DMC 4 on ps3 beats the 360 version. They arew both identical graphically and the only advantage is that the ps3 has a 2 second faster load time. @ seconds means nothing. I have DMC4 on my 360 and I do have a ps3 but chose the 360 version. My little bro has the ps3 version and they are the same. We both have the same lg 42" hdtv using hdmi. His loads a eye blink faster .
I do like the idea of installing games on a hd and playig them without a dvd w...
i hope it is a trend because i dont like it. ! of the best features of a console was putting the disk in and playing. Thats something all the developers/HW owners loved and thats something MS always wanted to bring to the pc. 20 minuntes isnt a long time by no means but i just dont like it and gaining 2-3 sec load time means nothing. i have DMC 4 and my 360 load times are 2 -3 sec at most .
I understand that bluray is the winner and the space on the disk is massive but in reality most of these games fit perfectly fine on a dvd 5g install on most of these games so why all the hubbub over the great disk space for gaming?
windows xp is a great os. Vista flopped because of the high specs and mostly because there was no need to upgrade from windows xp. Also os"tiger" was crap compared to leopard but apple fixed the probs and made a good os. MS tried to do the same and the features are nice butt hey should of just scrapped vista and implemented live and all the other vista stuff into xp as a update.
