Because its had 4 fantastic AAs not forgetting Lost OdysseyThe PS3 didnt even have that in 07

[QUOTE=''FirstDiscovery'']Lets just be realistic NOTHING IS CERTAIN Even if Gears and LBP end up getting AA, the 360 will still have an absolutely fantastic year [/QUOTE] Of course nothing is certain, thats not what he was saying. He is saying that in 07 MS fanboys concluded that the 360 had a better year because it had games like Bioshock, ME, and Halo along with great multiplats. Now of course I owned a PS3 and I enjoyed HS, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank and Warhawk that year along with COD4 and other popular multiplats so the PS3 ALSO had a fantastic year, just according to GS SW rules not as good as the 360s.Now in 08 the PS3 has MGS4 AAAAE, LBP AAAE, plenty of AAE games as well and some more solid games on the horizon like Resistance 2 and Valkyria Chronicles. Thats not even mentioning the fantastic multiplats. So of course by GS SW rules you can see that the PS3 has had a better year in terms of games.

Most popular COD4 or Halo3?

I can't decide which one I like most COD4 or Halo3? And which will be better COD4 or COD5?Most popular COD4 or Halo3?
I prefer Halo 3. Both are good though.Most popular COD4 or Halo3?
I prefer COD4, and will probably NOT pick up COD5 because COD4 is plenty for me. Plus there are so many other game coming out this year, COD5 is completely off my radar
I like Halo 3 more. Both AAA to me.
COD4 sold more and is more popular because it's multiplat, But as a game it overshadowed halo 3 last year, stole all of it's FPS awards and even won many GOTY awards. I like COD4 better. COD:Waw....meh i might rent it. I'm only interested for the MP. SP looks kack.
They're both decent, but i think Halo has much more depth and variety to it than COD, multiplayer wise.

Are you surprised that LBP isnt selling ...

Fable 2 is killing LBP in sales. Why do you think Fable 2 is selling at basically a 4-1 compared to LBP? Also I know its not official, but you know this is where the numbers are going. Why do you think LBP which is a great game isnt selling that well?Are you surprised that LBP isnt selling ...
LBP's launch was messed up. Most people couldn't find the game until the 28th, where as Fable 2 came out when it was supposed to on the 21st.Are you surprised that LBP isnt selling ...
[QUOTE=''Broman6015'']LBP's launch was messed up. Most people couldn't find the game until the 28th, where as Fable 2 came out when it was supposed to on the 21st.[/QUOTE] thats a good point. Didnt think of that.
lol at you thinking LBP would sell more than Fable 2 or even being comparable. the first Fable sold close to 3 million. Did you really think a new ip like LBP stood a chance against it. Then you have take in consideration of the messed up launch. Game is going to bomb hard. Once Resistance 2 and Gears 2 come out nobody is even going to think of LBP anymore.
Fable is proven so there is no surprise there, but LBP, i know the reason why i didn't get it is because 1. no one could tell me what the point of the game was until the reviews came out, and when i asked people, they would just say it is fun (this is pre-release). 2. it just seems not too complicated (as in, i feel as though gameplay would be easy all the time)
[QUOTE=''Broman6015'']LBP's launch was messed up. Most people couldn't find the game until the 28th, where as Fable 2 came out when it was supposed to on the 21st.[/QUOTE] This and maybe because of the fact its not being advertised properly, I'm in the UK and I've seen no form of advertisement at all for LBP.
I am not shocked at all. They will look at it and while sackboy is cute he is also kiddy looking. There will be the type of people that hang on websites like this that will know what the game is like but in the scope of things that is a small number compared to the amount of people that buy games.

Because your average joe does not care about creating levels. Why people thought this would appeal to casuals, all cause it's got some stupid potato sack man on it i don't know. There casual, not completely stupid. Where as flip the coin you have Fable 2, EXTREMELY easy to get to grips on, VERY simple, hell even the magic doesn't have Mana, you can just spam it. It's designed for the casual RPG player and it sucks in the ''hardcore'' as well, it was always going to happen it's just to many people in here fool themselves into thinking SW = Real life.
The game just doesn't appeal to that many people. For all the talk about it being the new casual game, I know I don't waat to play any 2d side scroller that doesn't have a plumber in it any more, and only that is for nostalgic reasons. There are much more fun gametypes and experiences to have instead of playing through a 2d God of War level as Sackboy Kratos.EDIT: especially when your Sackboy CANNOT attack at all. What a lame design desicion.
Some of us tried to warn you this would happen. doesnt matter how good a platformer it is; the genre is not that popular anymore. and the ''creating'' part is not interesting to everyone. it will not be a big seller.
Planescape Torment Grim Fandango etc. = Games that are awesome and considered one of best games ever made - yet they dont sell well

It truly saddens me. We need LBP to do well. It's nice to get new %26 fresh IP's so well created, so if this bombs, it'll hurt the industry a little bit, imho. Although, I'm glad Fable 2's doing well. I just wish LBP could pick up in sales.

This is how a cutesey niche game that's a new IP on a self-styled ''hardcore'' console should sell. Both Viva Pinatas were excellent, but they weren't record breakers... LBP never had a chance to sell in the same ballpark as a game like Fable - good game or no, it's just a poor fit for a blockbuster.
copy paste from earlier post by me:

No one on these boards seemed to come to terms that people outside of gaming forums had no interest or little knowledge about LBP, no one listened. Sony's commercials didnt tell what the game was about, so people outside of the niche market ignored it. Pretty obvious it was going to end up this way.

Only if you like those features. I prefer games and right now 360 is winning that department for me.
For me it does. I just like the interface, the capabilities and such. I think one of the biggest factors for me was the built in Wifi. I prefer the PS3 over my 360, but they are both great consoles. I love the fact of playing all the exclusives on each machine.
[QUOTE=''tomo876'']Does the PS3's blu-ray dvd player,six-axis controler and its free online gameplay make it a better console than the Xbox 360?[/QUOTE]



It depends on what your looking for. If gaming is your only concern, than 360 is still king for now. PS3 does give you a lot of bang for your buck however. Blu-ray, Wifi built-in, standard HDD for easy upgrade, Bluetooth, excellent streaming functionality, DTS-HD sound, etc make the PS# the best multimedia device



Wii, is best at giving you carpal tunnel :P
Actually, no - the xbox360's games and XBL make it a better console than the PS3...
I have both and prefer the PS3. It's a better deal overall, even though you can get a Pro 360 for cheaper, by the time you add in the wireless adapter, online fees, etc. it's actually more expensive. The 360 has more games but the reliability issue is always going to be an issue. I'm always worried that I'll get the RROD on my 360 everytime I turn it on and I try not to play more than one hour at a time. It's kind of unacceptable, really, that the failure rate of the 360 is so high. They each have their pros and cons. The PS3 is just a better built, more reliable system but the 360 has more and better games, although there are more and more multi-plats coming out and good games are coming out for the PS3 as well.
It makes it a better machine, but the games make the console.360 or PS3? it's entirely up to your tastes.
[QUOTE=''Koalakommander''] It makes it a better machine, but the games make the console.360 or PS3? it's entirely up to your tastes. [/QUOTE]I agree.
No, it makes it more expensive.
On the hardware side, yes. XBL is more advanced than PSN so the 360 wins the software side.

[QUOTE=''tomo876'']Does the PS3's blu-ray dvd player,six-axis controler and its free online gameplay make it a better console than the Xbox 360?[/QUOTE]Blu-ray is nice if you are a movie watcher (which I am). Six-axis controller is too small for me and the motion stuff is a waste (except I like AO2 reloading with it), but I can see how some would like the controller (always a personal pref). The thing I must disagree with you on though is the ''Free'' online gameplay. I have both a 360 and PS3, and I must say the cost for Xbox Live is well worth it. I NEVER have issues with online play with my 360, but with my PS3 I almost never have a smooth experience. Choppy, Can't connect, and my favorite....I finally connect and get excited that I am about to enjoy some online goodness, but no one can hear me talking or it cuts in and out. (usually out).My ratings as per your comments:1) Media type (blu-ray)-Tie. Tie because load time are not very good when compared to DVD9. Even to the point many PS3 games now load content the HD. But...Being able to watch blu-ray movies is greatness.2) Controller - Xbox 360 hands down. Just fits better in the hand. The left analog above the D-Pad is where It should be. Triggers have better response. PS3 is smaller and lighter and might be better for some. Motion is usless most if the time.3) Online- Xbox Live has no issues. Getting a good game going on the PS3 can be a pain. Both systems are very good, but a better feature set......Not so much. Maybe I will update my post after Resistance 2.

360 is in Last Place

Although they sell more than the ps3, they lose a sale whenever a 360 RROD's, and that's almost 35% consoles in America and 23% in Japan. I don't know if you know, but that's terribad. Wii is first, Ps3 is in 2nd.360 is in Last Place

[QUOTE=''keenof''] Although they sell more than the ps3, they lose a sale whenever a 360 RROD's, and that's almost 35% consoles in America and 23% in Japan.

Whos willing to bet that during 2007 PS3 ...

Who thinks so. I certainly do. EU really just rode on the brand name and I think that saved the PS3. If it wasn't for the brandname it would've been forgotten right now. lol.Whos willing to bet that during 2007 PS3 ...
I would say that is true about most systems. Whos willing to bet that during 2007 PS3 ...
So what if it did? Good for Sony.
Probably, yes. There was no reason to own a PS3 for most of 2007. On the bright side, it shows how strong the PS brand name is.
Yes because people impulsively drop $600 because they like a brand. I've loved all the playstations, but $400 is still too much for me.maybe it sold well in 2007 becaue it was a brand new system and thousands of morons always get new consoles as soon as they launch.it's also a blu-ray player...there are so many variables, and assuming that everything is blinded by brand name to the point of spending $600 is not one of them.
I accept your bet.



now the burden of PROOF is on you....
In europe it sure does. I know 10 people who bought PS3 over 360 because it was sony. Ps2's marketshare for Europe was ridiculous..well over 80% last gen. It only had 55% in US so that's why 360 is doing better here, the brand name for Sony is weaker compared to xbox in US than in Europe. This is also why PS3 will struggle to outsell 360 in U.S anytime soon.
So? What's wrong with that? Brand loyaty often shows that you are comfortable the the quality that that name represents. Most companies would kill (literally) for that kind of devotion to their product.
Ps3 is full of win.People like things full of win , thats why they bought a Ps3. =)
[QUOTE=''Floppy_Jim'']Probably, yes. On the bright side, it shows how strong the PS brand name is.[/QUOTE] At the same time I also think this gen has weakened it. The real question will be how well will the PS4 sell. This year the PS3 survived off its name until it's big hitters came out. Now they're finally here, it'll continue to sell on the merits of it's games.
I dont know what are you trying to probe here, but if you scavenge some late 2006 early 2007 threads, you will see that was the general concensus between most posters, except the biggest fanboys. I always said the brand name is one of the most important assets Sony has on their side, that why they cannot easily change the console name also.
[QUOTE=''HarlockJC'']I would say that is true about most systems. [/QUOTE] Honestly this gen I think that MS doesn't have any type of brand name popularity at all in terms of consoles. Maybe a few people will buy it thinking its made from MS but thats it.

You have a perfectly good PS2 that is still getting killer games on a monthly basis.Say I buy a 360 at launch for $400 +tax. What do I play on it for that year? PDZ? PGR3? Kameo? Did I really need to play Oblivion the moment it came out?

  • Anyone else dissapointed in Far Cry 2?

    Been playing the 360 version, and so far, IMO..its boring. The game looks amazing, expecially for consoles, but the way the mission are set up and the decision to make you drive long distances to reach a location is tiresome and repetative. The game isn't bad, plays like COD4, but FC2 just feels like a drag. I don't want to go and ask for missions, or have some guys help me out of a sitaution in this hazzy cutscenes all the time.While i like their attempt of making it realistic, its over done. Games should be simple and fun, meaning, just how it plays should feel good, Far cry 2 doesn't, IMO. Same goes with getting tired/blurry vision, etc. Just puts you out of the game too much. Another thing, why does it take so long to kill someone, even on easy?BTW, animations could have been better. Only positive thing i can say, is just the technical and graphical side of things. Thoughts?Anyone else dissapointed in Far Cry 2?
    It was a big disappointment for me, didn't expect GTA Africa :(Anyone else dissapointed in Far Cry 2?
    [QUOTE=''Epak_'']It was a big disappointed for me, didn't expect GTA Africa :([/QUOTE]yep, thats what bugged me. Scale is good, but gsus, cut it down abit..expecially for a place like africa.
    I like it, it is a solid 8/10

    It's a great game. The driving is not too bad, just use the bus more.

    It is a great game.I was a bit let down , but its still great.I was expecting one of the best shooters this gen... Honestly its not the best, but it certainly is damn good.
    If only they made a more compeling story and dedicated characters. Its a great experience initially, but they failed to keep up the momentum. There just wasn't enough to keep me motivated to continue. I don't see me playing FC2 anymore now that I have Dead Space and Fallout 3.
    I haven't played myself.My brother did though (pirated it, which is why I'm not playing it) and he likes it overall. He told me that some of the things that happened while he was playing killed the immersion for him. He hasn't played it for a few days now.
    I'm not disappointed in the game but I'll copy and paste from the 360 forums what is pissing me off about it--Having to drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive to your next location gets so bland and tedious. It makes the game twice as long as it has to be. The devs should have included some kind of ''fast travel'' option like in Oblivion.- CONSTANTLY being followed and harassed by guards when I'm driving to the next mision. The occasional firefight can be fun but it just gets annoying after a while. -I don't know how but I have somehow ''abandoned'' one of my buddies. And I have no idea how to get him back.-No quick button for the machete, like with grenades. It's lame having to press ''up'' to select it before you can use it. It may sound extremely minor but it's a little awkward when you're surrounded by 4 armed guards trying to murder you.-Weapons jamming. OK, I can appreciate that they wanted to make the game realistic but it just seems to happen too much. -The GPS diamond-locator-thingy could be a little more helpful.It has it's flaws but I'd give it 8-8.5 so far.
    I love Farcry2 . It is another shooter than the ''rest'' and that's exactly why I bought it . It isn't perfect, but I love it
    it's a fun game, but there are some very disappointing and outright annoying features or lack thereof that it has.
    yea, the diversity really blows, and the environment is barren half the time (not in terms of locale, but in terms of things to see and do). I have it for pc, and lately i have been playing more kung fu panda on my 360 than fc2

    Does it really matter if the games on the 360 are on another console? It doesn't make the console itself any worse and those multiplats are still pros for buying the system and its not like the 360 doesn't have any exclusives.

    Well, it's like this: you can buy a PC and a PS3 and get all of the 360s multi-plats and get PS3/PC exclusive games, or you can buy a 360. If you buy just a 360 you miss out on PS3/PC exclusives, but if you only can afford one system, you get the most bang for your buck with a 360 because it has a huge library of games due to it having so many multi-plats.

    System Wars Rules: READ BEFORE POSTING ( ...

    Be sure to read all these rules before posting on system wars.
    • Terms of Use are still in place and will be strictly enforced.
    • READ THE STICKIED THREADS: posting a thread on a topic for which there is an official sticky, will likely net you a suspension
    • Typing ''In before the lock'' and any of its variants is no longer allowed in this forum.
    • The use of ''TLHBO, TSHBO, THHBO, TCHBO'' or any variants of these used by themselves in a post constitutes a violation (This includes simply saying ''the ___ have been owned''). The terms themselves are not a violation so you may use these terms in the context of a much larger post but not all by themselves. Similar posts made solely to confirm or declare ownage without any other purpose or addition to the topic will be treated the same.
    • Any use of a ''emoticon'' followed by a single word or phrase with another ''emoticon'' will also be considered a violation.
    • Flaming is against the Terms of Service here on Gamespot and that does include System Wars. We are now enacting a Zero Tolerance Policy. All offenders will receive an automatic seven day suspension.We have a zero tolerance to any flaming in this forum. Here is the description of ''Flaming'' from the ToU:-
    • Flaming - Communications clearly insulting other users, individually or as a group, directly or indirectly, are not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to: name-calling (''You're an idiot'', ''You moron''); direct insults and orders (''Screw you'', ''Go kill yourself''); insinuations (''Are you stupid or something?''); or insults towards family (''Your mom...'').
    • To put it even clearer - *any* insult to another user in this forum will merit an automatic 7 day suspension. Even calling someone ''dumb'' is flaming. Using a smiley or putting ''joke'' etc after an insult does not mitigate it. If you cannot post without insulting someone then please dont post at all.
    • Blank quote replies are spam, don't do it.
    • Responses of ''Damage control'' or ''Denial'' are considered spam or trolling.
    • Intentionally misquoting posts from other users is a form of trolling.
    • References to one faction or person ''raping ''another is considered offensive.
    • Quoting somebody with QFT or any variants is spam.
    • The term ''Jap'' is derogatory and is unacceptable for use in these forums.
    • Quote chains over 5 replies are considered disruptive. We request that you start editing things down so that you're only quoting the most recent post to prevent chains reaching any greater length.
    • Quoting people who post more than one screenshot or picture is considered disruptive.
    • This is System Wars not Fanboy Wars. Threads made about who the worst type of fanboy is, or threads made to complain about certain fanboys, or anything similar are not permitted and are deemed trolling.
    • If one of your threads is locked, do not under any circumstances repost it. It doesn't matter whether or not you agree with its being locked or not.
    • Don't reply to threads/posts that you know are ToU violations (aka off topic posting, spam, trolling, etc.)
    • Don't post copyrighted material http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=17284004
    • Lemming, cow, sheep, and hermit are the only acceptable alternative nicknames for fanboys. Anything else will get you modded for trolling
    • Person vs. person threads are not allowed because they have nothing to do with system wars (examples of these are comparisons such as master chief vs. samus, sam fisher vs. snake, or the covenant vs. pokemons)
    • Fad topics are not allowed. Creating fad topics will result in suspensions. What is a fad topic? here's an example. A thread is created '10 reasons why Microsoft is a failure' (nothing wrong there) then another thread is created '10 reasons why Halo is failure' (a fad is slowly beginning) then another thread is created '10 reasons why Brawl is a failure' (a fad trend has started). Before we know it there is a whole flood of similar threads with similar wordings.
    • News threads regarding injuries, deaths, or the loss of jobs for ''ownage'' of another fangroup will be locked, as they have no place in SW.
    All of the above will be strictly enforced, any violators will have points deducted, repeat violators will be suspended and if need be, they will be permanently banned.here's some supplementary material to help avoid getting moderated.http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26105005

    Did consoles reach their maximum power?

    Honestly, how much more powerful can they get?PS3 and 360 are putting out great graphics out there. I know there is room for improvement , and the PC can do better now. Yet i have hardtime seeing how the graphics can get better.I know things maybe can improve more on texture, number of enemies, hard-drive capacity, number of players online, but not in graphics.Will we ever say ''WOW, look at PS4 graphics!''...am not sure, i am not sure we will ever say ''ps3 graphics are outdated and hurt the eyes'' like some are saying about past consoles(N64).If you know they can, please explain to me how. I have hardtime believing i will ever look back at 360 and say ''thats so last generation graphics''. I think consoles they reached a state where they really matured graphics wise and its time to branch in other improvements that are already happening like online store, bluray, storage capacity. I really see them turning more like living room main system. You know like its the only thing you need your tv to be hooked up to, it runs media, games, downloads, tv, storage, and connects online.I think it will finally happen where you talk to your friends from the TV screen where you can see them , I used to watch this in futuristic cartoons as a kid and thought this is going to be like in the year 2315 or something like that (I used to laugh at the idea that you can see video from a disc, I thought video can only be on tape, how little i knew) .I guess next generation wont be really about games. Did consoles reach their maximum power?
    Short answer, no.Did consoles reach their maximum power?
    nowhile this is the first generation that ive ever been really impressed with (in addition to some of the latter xbox and pc titles last gen) when I see stuff like Star Ocean and Killzone my jaw drops
    [QUOTE=''SpruceCaboose'']Short answer, no.[/QUOTE]long answer, noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo:P
    No, the entire idea is kinda myopic, I'm sure people were saying the same thing with SNES, n64, and PS2 came out, but they can and will still get better.
    To the TC. Look at animated films like Cars and Wall-E. Those are miles better than any console out now could ever hope to do, but yet, they were animated on computers, so theoretically, you could eventually approach that level of detail in games at some point in the (probably very far) future.

    you actually think this is the farthest a multibillion dollar industry can go?y cant video games eventually reach the graphic level of the the many beatiful cgi cutscenes that appear on many of the games? just because you cant picture it doesnt mean nothing else can happen. you think that all the flashy hollywood movies all have the real deal? a lot of them are just computer animated, for all we know, that level of graphic achievement might be reached in consoles some number of years from now

    PS3 games on vending machines?

    Yup, its just like the title says folks:

    The PlayStation 3 Vending Machine



    Universal Pictures and Sony have teamed up to announce the ''PoP'', a joint-venture operation that will see the release of Universal and Sony-branded...vending machines. That dispense Blu-Rays, and DVDs, and CDs, and most relevant to us, PS3 games. Pick your title, insert your cash money/credit card and the PoP will (it's not made clear) either burn the game onto a disc or just (a new vid shows how it's done) spit out a shrink-wrapped, brand new retail copy of the title. Easy as that. The machines will also offer stuff like trailer downloads, which can either be burned to a disc or downloaded directly to your own USB stick or SD card. Bear in mind, this announcement is British in origin. No idea on what form these machines will/may start appearing in for other regions.
    ------------------------------I dont know if i should laugh or applaud PS3 games on vending machines?
    Well...Sony is a Japanese company soooo...the idea of a vending machine for something like this doesn't sound too crazy.PS3 games on vending machines?
    Do they really need a vending machine to disperse games and movies? I mean, its not that hard to get out to a Game Stop or Wal-Mart and pick up a game, or even order one off of the internet. Plus, the security on one of those must suck. It seems like a bad investment to me.

    Imma go smash one at night and take al lthe games. hahahahaAnd then trade them in at gamestation for credit and buy 360 games.
    I dont see the point. The sort of places you would put these machines will be very close to game stores anyway... Plus what about age restricted games?????
    The Japanese..........gotta love 'em.

    That's just a Playstation 3.5But who knows, maybe it'll actually sell some Sony products.
    Only me who feel a great scepticism against putting 50$ in a vending machine?Seriously, I lost tons of cash on coffee machines.. Its just that its spread out over so long so I dont really care a lot, but I would never even consider putting 509$ in one machine..

    lol at Gametrailers...GEOW2 > MGS4 &a ...

    apparently they think GEOW2 has a better story than MGS4 and better graphics than Crysis, LOL. 8.8 - gears 2 for story. :|8.7 - MGS4 for story. Crysis Warhead got a 9.2 for Presentation, yet, Gear 2 recieved an 9.8:lol: GT Gears 2 review lol at Gametrailers...GEOW2 %26gt; MGS4 %26a ...
    was this thread worthy? no, and there is a gears of war 2 sticky, use itlol at Gametrailers...GEOW2 %26gt; MGS4 %26a ...
    You can't take Gametrailers seriously. They're bias to the core.
    [This message was deleted at the request of a moderator or administrator]
    the graphics are amazing for a console game
    ^^^MGS4 has better graphics than GeOW2.Lmfao8.7 for MGS4's story? That's disgusting. Deserves nothing less than a 10.Better graphics than Crysis....really? That's just stupid.
    Read the new rules



    You may get suspended



    Use the sticky next time, see ya
    there's a sticky, and I have played Gears 2 yet but I bet it is better, mgs4 and crysis are overrated.
    Gametrailers reviews are good in that they are all done with great video editing, but the actual content of the reviews are meh..that site doesn't review every game..just major ones.
    Crysis had it's presentation score docked because only a few PC gamers could realize the full presentation. As for MGS4 story, haven't played it but I hear it's legendary.
    mgs4 fans please take this into account: not everyone loves metal gear. not everyone loves kojima's long winded style. not everyone likes excessively complex plot twists. and not everyone loves long cutscenes.GT is one of the few reviews that took this into account. i showed mgs4 to a friend that is a hardcore gamer that enjoys a large variety of games but a little bit casual and he thought it was crap. the game and the story simply does not have wide appeal.I give GT credit for not listening to the thousands of fanboys that spout abuse in the comments section. they made a good point with that score and stood by it.
    Sounds about right. The story in MGS4 wasn't anything to write home about, to be quite frank. Vastly overrated.

    Been gone for a while and I just noticed ...

    The one thing I noticed, is why isn't the RRoD issue not solved yet? Wasn't it supposed to be fixed from the elite console? But before that, didn't they fix the heat issue on the processor, wasn't that supposed to fix the issue? But before that it was the Clamps that was the issue. However, right before I left I heard about the all powerful Falcon chip, well why hasn't that fixed it?So all in all, What causes the RROD? Why hasn't it been addressed? And WHY oh WHY are the people who get the RROD still buying 360's!? I knew a few people who all got the RROD and not One of them went back to buy the system, in fact one bought a PS3 is happy with it and will not buy another 360 until he knows the issue is resolved.So please tell me, why do you buy a 360? I really want to know. But please don't give me that ''Because the 360 has better games excuse''. What I want to hear is your logic on why you buy a system that is now almost as qualified to break in not an if, but when. Is it because you really like Microsoft? Is it because you just love the console to much to not part with it? Or just what may be the reason?Been gone for a while and I just noticed ...

    [QUOTE=''mingo123'']i havent heard about any new 360s RRODing[/QUOTE]Really, cause I have only been on here for a week and think it's a bigger issue now than when I left.

    I have over 50 games for my 360. I also have various addons and such for the console. When the 360 gets RROD you just send it away to get it repaired for free within a 3 year timespan from point of sale. Are you saying your friend was actually considering going out and buying another 360 while he could have gotten another one for free? What did he do with all those games he purchased? And iof he sold them, how much money do you think he lost in the long run?RROD is still a problem for those consoles that were bought early or that are refurbished. If a person bought a 360 at launch and only got RROD recently people will count it as recent. However that 360 was purchased at launch and has absolutely none of the improvements in the 360 to minimize the RROD issue. The reason consoles RROD is because of a heat issue. I'm sure everyone knows that. MS packed quite a lot of hot hardware into a small package and didn't provide adequate cooling probably to cut down on costs. In the long run it cost them more and I'm fairly certain that next gen they will think twice before doing something that stupid. 45nm technology produces a lot less heat than 65nm technology does and due to that the most recent 360's being produced have less of a chance of getting RROD and with the added heatsinks and such it takes even more heat away from the CPU and GPU. There will of course always be a chance of getting RROD MS is merely trying to minimize it.

However it not once broke on me, and I never heard of these ''failure issues'' until the fans of the 360 keep bringing them up to justify their means. Hey if my PS2 ever died on me, you can bet I wouldn't of bought another one. Also if I heard of the PS2 having as much failures as I hear the 360 has, I wouldn't of bought it as well.
    It's always going to be an issue as long as the ones that are still out there haven't been fixed. Even more, what will happen when a person who's had their 360 longer than 3 years gets RRoD after the warranty expires?
    They have made several attempts at fixing it, but remember there are still millions of consoles on the market from 2005-early 2007. those still break.

So basically you will be stuck with a dead 360 and all the games that go with it and no way to play them.For crying out loud my Atari, NES, SNES, PS1, Genisis, N64 and DC all still work so I am able to play any game I want on them. However I wont be able to do that with the 360, or any of it's games.So lets face it, if you are buying 360 games right now, all you are doing is wasting money on something you wont be able to go back and play in 3 years. So again I want to know, what's the point of doing that if I can get the games all on the PC which will last for a long, long time.

I used to wonder the same thing though....and this is one main reason as well as others that I haven't purchased a 360 yet.......I can't be stressed to always be worried that my system might die as soon as I turn it on one day :|
    I've noticed the exact opposite. Threads about rrod are wayyyyy down from pre-Falcon. Threads about new consoles failing are infrequent, no more frequent than threads about PS3's and Wii's dying.As for older pre-Falcon 360's, it wasn't until a few months ago that people started receiving Opus consoles for their non-HDMI warranty repairs. Personally I think MS messed up by having Opus come out so much later than Falcon, since sending customers back unreliable Xenon systems kept the issue of reoccuring rrod alive. I expect rrod to fade from prominence with Opus systems being sent to pre-HDMI console owners, and with the much more reliable Falcons and upcoming Jasper systems sold to new owners. It'll never completely go away though. It's a general hardware failure code, there will aways be a percentage of defective systems out there.

    What're some good Fallout 3 Quests (poss ...

    Fallout 3 is a good game, but so far I've not been real impressed by it's side quests. Yet I keep hearing how great they are. I've done Blood Ties, I thought that one was very good. I did the Replicated Man and the one with the Ghouls at Tenpenny Tower, I liked those okay. I did the one with Lamplight and the slaves @ Paradise Falls. I'd like a quest with a good story or twist behind it. I don't need to know any details about quests in the game. I'll take your word for it if you say it's good. I would just like to know what it's called and where I can find it. It seems that finding them just means going a little out of my way, was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. Generally I love exploring, but I just haven't felt as compelled to do so in Fallout. Some good side quests might get me more excited and into the game. Anyways, I'd appreciate any suggestions!What're some good Fallout 3 Quests (poss ...

    Ive found this really cool quest that gives you loads of money: Go to the Library (you can get the directions at the National Archives from the Protectron Gibbot) and you will find some Paladins from the Brotherhood. Speak to the woman of the group, and she will ask for ''Pre-War Books'' and she will pay you 100 caps per book.

    Hello, im a major fighting game junkie, i have a ps3 and a 360.I wanted to pick up a copy of battle fantasia for 360, but i just cant bring myself to because of the retarded 360 dpad.Battle fantasia was only realeased for ps3 in asia.So here is my question, I saw a 360 joystick controller and was wondering how it was. In your opinions would it be a better idea to order a copy of battle fantasia for ps3 from japan, or are there and decent game pads or joysticks avalible for 360? Like a madcatz or somthing.And i will obviously not use any dpad that is on a disk...D-Pad
    Or at the very least does anyone know a site where i can check out hardware like controllers that arent first party?D-Pad
    You could just get a fighting stick
    [QUOTE=''psyball'']Hello, im a major fighting game junkie,[/QUOTE]Then why are you using D-Pads? Buy an Arcade Stick. Hori Real Arcade Pro for either PS3 or 360. Actually check Dreamsvisions blog he has custom HRAP you can ge that works for PS3/360.
    The 360 d pad is better then the PS3 d pad. Why?the 360 d pad can do diagonal. Like an attack that requires ''down, down-left, and left''. You cant do that on PS3.

    i know what you mean the 360's D-pad is beyond awfullit needs a word like ''terrawfull''

    BK: N&B Demo Glitches

    For those of you who care to try:This glitch gets you past the barriers in the demo. Use the slide glitch to get into the underground water, then swim over to the door on the mound on the west side of town, then jump over the invisible gap in the water, and let youself float to the top, then swim along the wall towards the north side, by the lake. Swim under the sand, and then call your vehicle.http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=eGFgJw7GsrgThis glitch lets you float with your vehicle, to get to high up places quickly. Just put a flat object into your vehicle, and stand on it. It won't detect that you are on your vehicle, so you can pick it up, with you on top of it. Pretty straight forward.http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ofCw4rLV1l0%26feature=relatedI didn't find these glitches, but i've been able to do them both. Remember once you're outside of teh barriers, don't talk to people with holograms, because the content is not available and it will throw a disc read error and kick you out of the game. Also, make sure to activate the transporter in the center of showtown, so that you can activate the other ones and get back there should you end up inside the barriers again.BK: N%26amp;B Demo Glitches
    lol you redid this thread. Man I tired to do the glitch, but I got lost and said forget it. I'll just wait for the full game. you really can't doanything aside from exploring a little more.BK: N%26amp;B Demo Glitches

But ya it doesnt add much else to the game except a few empty parts boxes and extra notes to collect, still a good time waster for those wanting to waste more time on the demo.
    That's amazing how that dude figured that out.
    I know. I was trying to find a glitch past the barriers for hours until i looked on youtube and found someone already had. Every game has its glitches (usually on slanted areas meeting flat walls)...

    Gaming publications and biasness

    This thread is to address the obvious bias found in publications. The facts and logic are simple. Gaming publications are a form of media that thrive on their public. This is because it is inheriently the public that makes them money. The more people that frequent the site, the more they make.That said, there will always be websites that will endulge in biased reviews in order to pull certain demographics in. Whether this means feeding the lems, feeding the cows, feeding the hermits, feeding the sheep... and yes, feeding the mantacore.This is of course only the basics. Marketing skewing content can be much more complicated then just this.Gaming publications and biasness
    Well usually reviews are biased, but not always. Say a reviewer is a fan of the series or the exculsive platform its on. There are variables that may influence the review but nothing too much.Oh and is biasness even a word?Gaming publications and biasness
    i really don't have a gripe with any worldwide media, gamespot, IGN, eurogamer, Edge, the're all unbiased as far as i'm concerned, can't say the same about the Portuguese media though (i'm portuguese BTW) other then two websites (PTgamers and mygames) everything else is so sony bias it's not even funny

    Fable 2 is better than MGS4

    if you guys know my previous posts about mgs you will know the impact of what i am saying,its close...but Fable 2 is betterFable 2 is better than MGS4
    Loved Fable 2, but I wish it was longer.Fable 2 is better than MGS4
    In your opinion
    why would you compare the two...
    I respectfully disagree.
    I totally disagree . MGS 4 is way better
    I disrespectfully disagree.
    Fable 2 was good, but I don't know if its good enough to compete with a proven franchise like Metal Gear Solid.
    Fable 2 is too short and too easy, and it has a lot of useless stuff in it that doesn't effect the story whatsoever. I keeps seeing all these ads, for every choice a different destiny, what a joke, the only real choices are at the end of the game.
    10>8.5/thread
    I disagree strongly.Why would you compare the two, their different genres. . . . . . . . .
    I disagree with Heart and Soul, only MGS1 is a better game than MGS4.
    i really can't even come close to agreeing with you on this one
    [QUOTE=''AgentA-Mi6'']I disagree with Heart and Soul, only MGS1 is a better game than MGS4.[/QUOTE] I'll agree with that.
    I like fable 2 better. MGSIV has to be the most overrated game of all time.
    Well I think mgs4 is rediculously overrated, but it's still better than fable 2, which I also think is overrated (yes I didn't enjoy it all that much, 7-7.5 for me).
    Why are you comparing these games anyway...?

    I could come out and say...hmmm....Heavenly Sowrd is better than Halo 3.... who cares they are completely different games.

    But if you want to be objective about which game is better its obviously MGS4- it owned F2 in most if not all reviews.
    MGS4 is better than Fable 2.
    to bad it flopped :(
    [QUOTE=''madsnakehhh'']MGS4 is better than Fable 2.[/QUOTE]why not?
