So pissed off to hear grand theft auto IV is only coming out for the Xbox 360.

i thought the darkness sux ass the lil arm things were so hard to control

I have seen how much those players are, stand-alone players. However, what other people fail to probably take into account is that Sony is selling this is an entertainment home console whatever whatever, and there are other things in the PS3 besides that bluray player. So, besides having to pay for the bluray player parts, which are probably expensive, they are putting other expensive parts in it as well. So, my point is, is that Sony probably isn't putting in bluray players that don't compare to home bluray players. When the PS2 first came out, the DVD players in them sucked; I constantly had it scratch disks and then simply refuse to play disks at all. Why? Because the hardware was all cheap, used to cut costs and sell it at a cheaper price to sell more product. I'm going to go off of a limb here and say that I think that Sony is, more than likely, doing the exact same thing with the PS3: cheaper parts, cheaper product. So, regardless of how much of a "save" it is, I'm sure that people will have to turn in their machines at their local Wal-Mart or wherever for a new one just like the PS2s.

The only thing I like about the 360s, at least the Elites, is that Microsoft is using primo parts for the Elites, parts that are, almost, guaranteed never to fail, unlike their white counterparts. The product justifies the price with the Elites. The 60 gig PS3 justifies $500.00 price tag, in my opinion. Though, I think its ridiculous they're going to be "phasing them" out and selling the 80 gig with a POS racer and selling it for *GASP* 600 bucks, AGAIN!

Edit:

PS: Thanks for the games titles, I'll probably buy...1 or 2 of those with the console, and wait/rent the others out.

i can't wait till they come out with another fight nite

they were easy for me... the game starts getting really weird after awhile, did you ever get far into it?

oh, well dude alli can say is don't judge a book by it's cover...

the storyline is extremely fucking weird, (as if rising from the dead wasn't enough, but compared to the whole story line, rising from the dead is an ordinary thing)

and those arms aren't exactly the main weapon :p infact, after everything takes a weird turn, unelss you like being stealth, they don't really come into play...

and for originality factor, blazing angels is definately sweet... i own squadrons of wwii... it's a great game...

33 percent failure rate, yea maybe when it first came out, but not anymore and not for a long time. More sales for the 360 means it's better. Too bad the ps3 was too slow, microsoft created a cheaper and great system a year quicker. They win. You may not like halo but so many more people do like it. There's a reason why it's the most anticipated game in while and why company's actually pay out money to the winners of halo tournaments..

RR nothing personal... so don't take it that way..

One often overlooked factor when considering a console purchase is reliability, an area that is apparently where the Xbox 360 falls short.

also take notice, this is from july 07... the failure rate is there, even consoles being shipped now, if you have evidence point otherwise, provide it.

More sales for the 360 means it's better.

first, refer to the quote above, next...

EETimes.com - Microsoft Xbox sales fall 60% as problems mount

and more so..

PS3's two-week sales figures surge 135 percent - PlayStation 3 News at GameSpot

(360 WAS top, it's rapidly failing and falling. truth of the matter is for the first year of next gen, people had two choices, WII or 360... then the failure rate hit, really impacting sales...)

Too bad the ps3 was too slow, microsoft created a cheaper and great system a year quicker.

well sure, if you want a cheaper more screwed up system, ok... just IMO here, but i'm glad sony took the time to extensively test their product and fix problems (may i cite: Failure Rate: Xbox 360 High As 33% - Sony PS3 & Nintendo Wii Less Than 1% | ripten)

They win.

this 'war' is far from over actually... just wait... think of this as the tortise and the hare... 360 being the hare, had speed on it's side... but who wins in the story? (btw, have you bothered to look up the massive ammount of games coming out for ps3 by the end of next year? not only will ps3 rival quality, by next year, it will also rival the sheer number of games)

You may not like halo but so many more people do like it.

got me there and i won't even bother inserting my opinion (which may i say, that MANY share, even xbox owners and sony haters themselves) but hell.. everyone loved goldeneye release on 64 too... doesn't mean it isn't past the times now... i suspect the reason most still love it, is merely the attachment and keeping up with the story line... i can tell you now, if goldeneye came out with a more high def and online version for the ps2/3/pc i'd have to have it as well...

that doesn't make it a great game, only makes it a popular game which i never debated... i only debate the quality of it, not the popularity.. hell i'd be stupid to try and argue it's popularity

There's a reason why it's the most anticipated game in while

you are most certainly correct here, but not for the reason you're trying to project here... halo came out on xbox.. show me one absolutely amazing GREAT game on xbox that ps2 didn't have.... i'll honestly judge it.. but i've seen most of what it had to offer...

lots of halo fanboys because they opted for xbox and quite honestly of that system, it was one of the better games to choose from... not becuase it was a godly game, just becuase that's what there was to choose from (again, show me otherwise, i'll judge honestly, on gameplay, graphics, and originality definately is a plus [i.e. isn't a game found on other systems that they just ripped off and gave it their own twist])



and why company's actually pay out money to the winners of halo tournaments..

sorry if i'm the first to break it to you, but these gaming competitions have been around forever, and guess what? the winners always get paid... it isn't just halo, nor xbox games...


again nothing personal... just think of as an education, and i'm more than open to any you may provide, except for the parts i've stated were opinon, it is solid cold hard fact... not fan boy inspired opinion, rumor, or info heard from the grape vine.

im not a big halo fan and when halo2 was coming out it was supposed to be so much better than the first and yet it was the same as the first no diffrent and i played the demo of halo3 and i still see no diffrence it still just run and gun no strategy involved i want something with sum depth to it and halo lacks that big time.sos i say and as far as goldeneye 4 64 now that was a very good game for it's time 1 of the best i think along with a game called shadowrun for snes and i might add they really fucked up the remake of it totally im so pissed that they fucked that game up it could have been such a good game.thats why i like rb6 series so much it's tactical and not just run and gun as much as the others.and im hoping endwar will add to that
