They are. In game XMB and custom soundtrack update is schedules for June with Home coming in fall.

couldnt have said it any better. they just need to get their priorities in check is all. In-Game XMB and Trophies should have been first on the check list since those are two of the biggest things the 360 has over the PS3 anyway. they're trying to beat the 360 in one fell swoop and thats not going to happen, the 360 is no push over. slow and steady wins the race.

Because then it will look a lot shittier.

Yeah...Sony already failed at this when they released PS3.

It's a lot better now but I feel sorry for people that are still waiting for In-Game XMB

Don't feel bad for me, feel bad for the thousands of people who have to send their consoles back to microsoft every month.

In game XMB? Would be nice, but it's more icing than cake.

el serpiente,
The really sad thing is that the PS3 is such a cluster fuck that people prefer sending their consoles back to Microsoft to buying a console from Sony.

Really? Europe and Japan beg to differ. But don't let me disturb the imaginary utopia that you've created in your mind.

el serpiente,

Don't you know that the WHOLE WORLD revolves around the United States? The funny thing is, the cluster-fruck PS3 is OUTSELLING the 360 in the United States so far in 2008. What do you think will happen when Sony gets thier shit together?

You guys can say whatever will help you sleep better tonight, but right now, more people have 360s than PS3s, which was my point.

wait, hold the phone...

Since when does a system sell more with a full year head start? What the fuck...this is outrageous!!

CGamble,
The Wii takes offense at your sarcasm.

No,the Wii takes offense at it's lower price.

Wow, you guys just outdid yourselves. You managed to bitch about the Wii's lower price point, the 360s failure rate and an anti-American dig; all in a post about Sony's shitty online plan. You managed to hit the trifecta! Flame on you crazy diamonds! It's nice to know that you won't let a little thing like "sense" fuck up your arguments.

You just got pwned. Go away.

look up

Because then people will shit all over it saying it's not fully what they expected. So it's a catch 22 with nothing but whiners.

yea it would be much better to have people whining about not having it yet than whining about it being rushed and sucking. then they loose interest, updates or not. whether it will be good or not is yet to be seen but i would much rather them take their time with it regardless.

Because that's the reason why Blu-Ray drives can't vary read speed with disc speed, why 360s broke so much, why the Wii struggles to fully utilize motion controls, why the SIXAXIS even existed, why the Playstation Store needed a total overhaul and why the PS3 was off to such a slow start in it's first year. Sony needs to stop releasing things before they're finished. I guess it's a nice little PR boost when you release an update every month or two adding functionality that should've been there from the get go. Pause functionality was ADDED in an UPDATE!!! Everybody just shrugs and says how nice it is to have it now that it's here?!?! I'd rather send my console in for a fix once or twice (My friends haven't had to do it more than once but that's just my experience) than buy a half finished product and wait for whenever an update rolls my way and pretend I'm being done a favour. Using a passable store (Old one was terrible and miraculously swept under the rug until the current, amazing store came) and the DualShock 3 as milestones, the PS3 is now what it should have been at launch, although I don't know if the Blu-Ray drive read speed is fixable.

How the hell is the fixed read speed of a Blu-ray drive an issue? This is an advantage of Blu-ray if anything... the drive always reads at the same max speed compared to a DVD drive that is slower moving away from center. The store is a preference thing... to me, there is not much difference between the new and old but I have no idea what you are talking about with "Pause" functionality. If you would rather have hardware issues than software updates than you have definitely made the right choice.

How did that post, and the response to it get copied perfectly?

I KNO RITE?

Yes it's free, but people will still bitch about it. Confusing, I know.

Yeah, it's sorta like how getting your 360 fixed is free but people who don't own the console are always bitching about it.

What saints, those kind folks at microsoft, taking your xbox out of your home for weeks to repair a problem that never should have existed in the first place. Truly, a benevolent entity...

Never underestimate the stupidity of the American public...

Actually in the UK the sales boost wasn't that different for the two consoles. 125% increase in sales for the 360 and 127% increase for the PS3; I don't remember if I saw these numbers on Joystiq proper, but it was on one of the sites in their network.

Not to mention that the PS3 has sold MORE consoles than the 360 in Europe, despite the FACT that it came out about 16 months AFTER.

The Clubbies will win a WS before Joystiq stops the PS3 hate. You know damn well that if the 360 came out 16 months later than the PS3 and surpassed it, Joystiq would be falling over themselves to post the story 24 times.

I will never understand the bias and hate towards Sony. We should be happy that the 360 and PS3 are doing well to conteract the Nintendo GameCube.

"I will never understand the bias and hate towards Sony. We should be happy that the 360 and PS3 are doing well to conteract the Nintendo GameCube."

Pot, meet fucking moron.

Because it costs $50 a year and most people don't use it anyways. Oh, and the hardware fails at 30% rate. Those are a few reasons. I can give you more if you want.
