| | Depends on your definition of value. I play my PS3 way more than my 360 because I can play all my old PS2 games, and I love games like Ratchet and Clank. Demon souls Is also a great game. I did not really care for MG4 though, as to me It seems to much of the same. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | I did not care for the features that were hidden that should not have been, like V-sync. I'm kinda liking the way games are geared toward consoles these days though, since they don't shoot the spec's through the stratosphere, and that makes my Investment last longer.

| » Where do they go from here?
I own a Wii myself. I think It's a great little system, but I do take Issue with the Wii's motion control. In general, it's not very good or accurate, and tends to render allot of games frustrating.
Anyway, I always wondered what Nintendo's real plan Is apart from the Wii, as the Wii seemed more like a desperation move more than what they really had planned. Nintendo Is smarter than what they did with the Wii, and they knew It had a short lifespan. I just don't know where they are trying to go here. Nintendo sold a butt load of Wii's, and there were rumors of an "HD" Wii about a year and a half after luanch! This could have something to do with the way the Wii Is selling right now as I'm sure the word has spread that Nintendo Is going to luanch a new system, just like they bring out a new DS every year It seems. So the question remains, what does Nintendo do? If they luanch a new system next year, or even the year after, they are going to lose allot of good will with parents that grew up with and trust Nintendo. Even If the system Is backwards compatible, It's almost assured that the Wii will not be able to play the newer games, and Nintendo has been hinting for a while now that there new system Is giong to be leaps and bounds (power wise) above the Wii.
So I'm not sure were they go from here as It seems they are In a rock and a hard place. I'm sure If Nintendo's new system Is leaps and bounds above the Wii that core gamers will be all giddy, but were does that leave the 50 million plus who are either happy with the Wii or just bought the system right before they launched there new system?

Famine stricken kids", what kind of stupid comment is that! Stupid comments like these are the reason I don't come to this site anymore. These laptops are for people that want a S.F.F. pc, to do e-mail, web surfing...etc. Who cares if you don't want one...dink. The world would be better served without people like this.

| | I still have my original 360 form launch day, not one problem. These surveys are a bunch of crap. Just like the political surveys, the samples are to small to be of any use, and 16% of 1000, is still just 16% of 1000, not 7 million or whatever it is now. As with anything now-days the questions still are... who funded the survey and why, and why is it that the same people always have failures? Plus with the net being as ambiguous as it is, and the tactics these moron'ic companies use, who knows what's true and what is not? I should also add-in the fact that companie's don't have to use allot of dirty tactics when kids will latch-on and spew whatever these companies wan't. P.S. Please don't bring up that if 16% of those people have problems, you can assume that 16% of the 7 million have problems. I'm not defending the 360, just the fact that I'm sick of hearing surveys from the same 1000 people/surveyer's, or from companies that are funded by someone with other than good aspiration's for whatever the reason.

| | No,no,no. This is ridiculous, sixty dollars was to high two years ago, and now we see in the news how much profit companies are making. I used to buy about 3-4 games a month, now I only buy 1-2, not just because they cost 60 dollars but because there just aren't that many games worth 60 dollars. If they raise it again to 70 or 80 dollars, I might just stop gaming all together. I don't mind ads as long as their done right and in good taste. I'm sure the rate hike also has something to do with all those people that buy those 70-80 dollar "tabula rasa" editions, and has emboldened the Ceo's to raise prices. GREED,GREED,GREED!!

| » Bad Idea for Consoles,good Idea for PC's
I have to agree that standard hardware for consoles sounds good on paper, but remember the 3DO. The manufacture's had no incentive to reduce the price of the hardware, and thus we had a 600.00 dollar console in the 90's. The PC, on the other-hand could benefit from such an Idea. How does a game maker optimize a game for the PC when you have, umpteen different hardware configurations ie- graphics cards with different memory,bandwith,number of shaders, brand of GPU, different operating systems, one PC has one gig the other five twelve...etc,etc. So what the PC manufacturer ends up doing is optimizing for the sure thing or, the harcore PC gamer, who has all the latest and greatest components, and in genral is easier to optimize for when all the components are genralay the same speed, memory, etc. Flag this | Edit this post |
