No one noticed that? Look at the details. Microsoft put BC up for sale? They didn't own BC flat out. They had a stake in them. This article is written using common knowledge information and made up filler to get hits. Look at the G-D details.
It contains PS3 info. Why comment on a story you obviously didn't bother to even read? Pathetic. Do me a favor and play in traffic, cut your wrists or something. That or learn to read.
So now they even act like news they already reported is new? What a joke! Screw it, I'll at least toss in the alternative source that has real images instead acting like it's a be SECRET RUMOR! lmao
Look, no site is perfect. I know that because I stood by a story that turned out false a couple days ago, but why do people act like Kotaku is sh*tting fudging gold and diamonds when they squat. Their a55 stinks sometimes too.
This is 9 month old news! Is this a joke? N4G has gotten pathetic with approvals coming to any big name site regardless how old or stupid the content is. Every MF'er who approved this is a joke and a jack*ss.
Not old?
Even people "not in the know" have known about this since July.
Since XF didn't give a source, it has to be labeled rumor. But I've seen the email. No clue why it's canceled, but sadly it is. I was looking forward to it.
lmao. You kill every story and then approve the same story the next day. This is fact. The game is CANCELED! Not delayed. The delay is old news. This game is canceled as of today. This is not a rumor. If this is fake, someone ban me from N4G or I'll delete my account. The game is canceled.
As far as I knew, thanks to sites like dashboardthemes, gamers were able to save their points instead of spending them in a guessing game and hope they got the a good theme.
This story gets killed and then gets approved when a PS3 site runs it just like the last one.
Example:
approved - http://www.n4g.com/industry...
Failed - http://www.n4g.com/NewsPend...
And which one was first? All fanboys. N4G is run by fanboys.
You do remember they were the first to say no when it came to publishing games on the Dreamcast. So using EA as an example actually hurts your argument. If you're saying EA is smart, then you're saying that only publishing on the biggest selling systems is smart. Is that what you want to do?
This story that posted last night. Does it look familiar?

You bring up the most valid points on this forum. MS needs to expand it's appeal outside the US and GB.
But think about this. If japanese games are being put onto the 360 and not the PS3, that could change the outlook of gamers. Japanese gamers may hate MS, but they may also want certain games. The only thing Sony should fear is a domino effect. If the impact of this influences other publishers to follow suit, it could change a lot. This of course is all "theoretical"...
I can't help but laugh in the face of every Sony fanboy who tried to kill the story yesterday when XboxFamily broke it. Face facts. Your precious PS3 is hurting. Next time, don't think "reporting" a story will make it go away.
Go to gamerscoreblog.com the official MS blog. They THANKED US for killing a story we ran before they released it.
Google:
Halo, promo, xboxfamily, burger king
You think it's an accident we get stories first? Like I said. Kill it tonight. It won't make it go away. Tomorrow, you can deal with it again.
We broke the story of borderlands using the HDD before ANYONE, Who cares if you "believe it. It's true. Heck, kill this one and then try killing every story about it tomorrow. Who cares? We share what we know. We broke the Zune price drop. The opinions of NG4 elitist aren't important. News is.
Looks like the Sony fanboys will kill this one. They hate to face facts. I even removed the TGS channel, despite... IT COMING FROM TGS!
There are however some situations where linking to another site than the original source is ok. If a website has an updated version of the story with new info or if their article is a lot better written than the original it is ok to link to that article instead. "But the general rule is to always link to the original source of a story."
I'm still playing catchup as to what the beef is between our staff, but on this one, they were definitely correct in the statement th...
N4G clearly states that you do not submit the site that copied the story. You submit the ORIGINAL site. Read the rules. And to the poster, you took the contributor test and should know the rules.
News is free to share, but STOP submitting it as your own. EVERYDAY!
A lot of contributors are on a power trip and will report your submission without reason or just because they're bored. I tried to give a detailed description as to why I reported this submission. I hope you don't take it personal and listen to some of the advice. Your best bet is to get your reviews out a little quicker.
Perfect example. You spot a typo and don't mention it in your report. LMFAO. You then look like a moron who doesn't even know how to report something. Nothing better than getting reported by someone who doesn't even know what they're doing. Classic. Least I got to fix a typo out of it. HAHA
People want to talk about how MS is a monopoly. GameStop is insanely worse. They buy out any indie store they can and then screw any gamer who trades something in. I miss the old days of Walden Software, Original Electronic Boutique, and indie stores everywhere. The competition meant gamers got great deals. Now, gamers just get banged from behind by GameStop. Even worse, is the lack of knowledge the employees have. I don't need some pimple faced GameStop clerk acting like he has phone convers...
