and if you dont like gamestop makin all this money
A) make better games so no one wants to trade them in.
B) Open up your own retail chain and give 10% of your profits to the game developers...ha yea right
O and do you know how long and how difficult it would be to figure out how much to give to each individual developer for their used game sales LOL.
the only reason people are always trading in games is because they're so expensive. I mean you trade in a game you'll get like 20 bucks. What do you get for a CD? lol or a movie? If I dont play it, and Im tired of it Im gonna trade it in for somethin else. A few dollars is worth more to me than a game just sitting and collecting dust ya know..
And as for digital distribution Im all for it. As long as its a choice, like netflix you can get the physical media or download. I also...
because not everybody plays videogames
I tried that one on my parents so when my nephews came over to visit them they could have a ps3 to play. lol didnt work poor kids got a wii from my sister.
hmmm...i have reserved uncharted 2
and yet I feel no desire to do so for splinter cell.........
uncharted wins for me.
when each system had a mascot?
Well I guess nintendo still has mario..
Playstation used to have crash bandicoot...now hes on xbox too..
Playstation had snake...well hes xbox nintendo wherever.
Sega systems had sonic...hes everywhere now
I miss the brand loyality lol dont you
But anyway I think it will come before the new xbox maybe 2011, like previous poster said doesnt need to compete in sales with another ...
You know what Dwight Schrewt would do....
Find a broken PS3, empty out the inside, put in an animal carcass, and then trigger it with a tiny explosive to go off in the store.
But seriously...
The fact of it is you can trade in your perfectly working 33 percent larger ps3 that still has wifi, storage capabilities, and blu ray for less than HALF of what you got it for..and once you do that you can pay ANOTHER 150 and get a smaller version of a wifi ...
Why would microsoft offer new capabilities to people who arent paying the subscription fee? I personally think its all stupid since you can go on your ps3 and do it all..or just open your laptop and still do it all. Or get on your phone and do it all. I like myspace anyway :-\ dont feel like switching over. But anyway this is nitpicky. This is like saying aww this company wont give me any freakin tap water unless I pay the fee. Well idiot blogger guess what you are complaining about microsoft...
All I gotta say it, they are both great deals so get em both ha ha!
But really, all this console war stuff though it does make us fight you gotta realize that :
1) the console wars is a GREAT thing. The competition brings GREAT prices and great games. Also, in my opinion it brings about technology quicker...you know the RACE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION...you get me, I know ya do. :-) these things happen through competition!
2) In the end we are all ga...
Look I know America has a 60+ obesity percentage but c'mon. This guy will be lucky to make it to 60.
Think of it like this, if you were a super-rich, super-talented game designer would you let yourself look like that? Hell no I wouldn't this dude could hire a personal trainer, quit eatin the debbie cakes and his quality of life would be so much better. And I dont want to hear this "look past his weight" or "he sits in front of the computer all day." if you ...
I have xbox and ps3.
I play xbox more because xbox live is easier to communicate with friends and such..not hatin just is.
But I do like pretty graphics, especially if the game is fun.
But you must remember graphics arent everything.
I already pre-ordered this game..I'm very excited. But I dont sit and watch games I play them so graphics aren't number one. And what easier way to show the correlation than the wii? or the ps2 vs the xbox? Graphics don...
for all we know one of the artists is a racist...
Or one of the sound guys smokes crack....
Or one of the temps is a secret serial killer....
Or one of the producers is a pedophile...
So what, the other 99 percent are hard working people that have families. You really want to screw up someone's life over a stupid video game don't you. How about I come to one of your gay boutiques and start knocking stuff down and picketing against yo...
Never had a problem with mine...Had it for over a year and play it at least 20 hours a week over the summer..(Crosses fingers)
Sure it won't be record breaking sales but its just an expansion. I look at it like this, Halo 3 probably took a few years to make because it was an all new system, all new multiplayer, all new console yada yada. This game on the other hand is a 5 hour campaign, 3 new maps, and a firefight mode on the same console, and the same system. Which do you think took more time and development costs to make? (An expansion or a full fledged game) That being said, even if this game sells 1/2 as much, th...
It all looks very nice, both games do. The crysis game does look better and if I wasnt in college and could afford a computer that would make it look that good I would def buy it. Im stuck with my HP notebook :-( O well... more incentive to do good in college I guess...
I dont see the big deal about a "ps3 slim"...I mean yea ok its thinner (which people tell me is in these days) but why do I care? I already have a ps3. Yes, it's thick but..all it does...is...sit..there...So why does it matter if its thinner? Does it load faster? have better wi-fi? Have more storage? (all for the same price)I know I know it will market better and some kid will go WOW so cool..but between you and me guys I could give a rat's ass how big a console is as long as it fit...
What's the big deal...Its his company. He's allowed to hate playstations or i-phones or cats or whatever. If I didn't like playstation I wouldnt spend ten hours of my day developing a game for it either. I like all my consoles for their different qualities but hey, if I was a game designer and I liked one console more than the other well I'd probably just make for that one console. It's not like he's saying he doesnt like YOU, he just doesn't like the ps3, he might not like healthy food eithe...
I don't even like PC games that much but one of my favorites of all time is Starsiege Tribes. It allows for like 32 online multiplayer, a multitude of classes including medic, engineer, flag-capper, heavy armor guy (you know what I mean). It has jet packs, it has sniper rifles it has vehicles, it has big maps its has small maps, you can put down turrets for defense, you can destroy turrets yadda yadda. And you know what year it came out? Guess...2002? 2000? Nope! November 30, 1998!! Now if th...
These prices are horrible. Sure if you were to buy them new they would be about the same but c'mon, if you buy the physical disc at LEAST you get some kind of trade-in value right? And look at the selection, I know they don't want to hurt Gamestop or EB games or wherever by offering new games, but these are the kind of games you can find for around ten-fifteen bucks used. AND you will have at least a few dollars trade in-value. Of course you have to worry about scratched discs, but most place...
heres my thing, the only games I play are ones that have online and split screen. Because I LOVE playing online and I do not like having a bored girlfriend, she gets pissy that way. Not to offend but ps3 has only ONE game that has decent split screen online exclusive and thats Resistance which I didnt even like online!!! Xbox has halo, gears, left 4 dead, army of 2 (I dunno if thats exclusive) I wont even play a game unless it has split screen because I only play at night when my girlfriend i...
