Major Nelson teases new Dashboard details on Xbox 360 Fancast

Jebus,

The 360 had more good games in its first 4 months than the PS3, despite the PS3 having an extra year to prepare. COD2, PGR2, and GRAW are all rated higher than every PS3 game, except Oblivion, and were availabe this time last year.

The 360 was available a full year earlier and I had an HDTV. I got one and am extremely happy with it. I will get a PS3 eventually, but it isn't necessary to have yet because I have a 360. The PS3 has great hardware but seriously lacks games. Motorstorm and Resistance mainly seem so great because you don't have any other choices. Though I do really like Resistance.

Anon you rule. I wanted that feature since day one. The only problem i really see in having it, is cheating . Lets say if certain future games implement the Counter-Strike style of dying . Your dead teammates could then become free roaming cameras to tell you where the enemy was. Maybe if certain games could disable the chat it would be ok .

Heres a comparison if you add on all the junk > http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3158279

but don't forget the games...

Jake -

Xbox 360
1 Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, The 2006 94
2 Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2006 90
3 Call of Duty 2 2005 90
4 Burnout Revenge 2006 89
5 Project Gotham Racing 3 2005 88

11 NBA 2K7 2006 81
12 Virtua Tennis 3 2007 80
13 Call of Duty 3 2006 80

Now before you say it, yes, this is unfair. Many of the titles for the PS3 are cross platform. However, the argument is about "good games" within the "launch period". The games on the PS3 are launch games.

"NEWSFLASH IDIOTS: This is an article for people who own/care about 360. If you aren't one of those people, fuck off and go back to playing Talladega Nights. I, for one, welcome this simple but necessary update to my system's OS and I'm sure the other 360 owners do too"

Well then there will need to be a full negotiation of a Joystiq treaty. Fanboys shall be forced to stick to topics relating only to there console and violations shall not be tolerated. It will quiet down a lot of people but if thats how things have to be then I guess the Wii and PS3 related topics shall become a lot quieter.

Or you could accept that people don't see the world the exact way you do and that very rarely has something posted on a message board over and over again actually effected anything. People will be allowed to think how they want and see things differently from you. Doesn't mean they are wrong, just different. People are going to take shots at what ever your console choice is for reasons of their own.

blah...blah...blah...
I had my fun.
So, so easy it is

Big woopty doos. As if you don't know what game you just put in?

PS3 has done this from day 1, and you get a full screen picture appear in the XMB just to show you... oh and a nice bit of ingame music and an Icon too. But who cares? Its not exactly News.

Its nice to know what your launching into after leaving a game in for a few days and dont remember what you left in... its trivial but its one of those "little" things to enhance your "experience"

Well Duh... Sure you know what game you just put in. You don't own a 360 do you. The PS3 will eject a game in the drive when you power down. It has to since its a slot drive. The 360 doesn't. When you power it on after a few days, you tend to forget what game is in the drive.

I can't stand when the PS3 powers on and automatically starts playing obnoxious music from the last game demo you downloaded. The only way to make it not do that is to delete your game demos.

@Seedy - There is no hardware inside the Elite that would make it able to run games the other SKU's can't... so "Elite exclusive" games doesn't make any sense at all.

Go back to your crap-ass PS3 and your 2 games (oh, and Talladega Nights, LOL), and stop bugging us please.
