hey alex... it's called sarcasm. look into it. its great. lot's of fun to be had making uptight slackjawed morons like yourself get all uppity.

theres a shortage of plastic and 8 year old graphics processors?

who knew.

include ps3 sales for what??? he is talking about MOVIE SALES.... not players.

catch up with the rest of the class already.

I've gone through 5 (and scratched and ruined 2 separate discs). i sold my last 360 roughly a month and a half ago, and will never ever ever pick up another, just for the simple fact that the jagoffs in support are the lowest form of fucking idiot on the planet, and i would rather swallow a pair of scissors than put myself in the situation that i even had a .0001% chance that i may have to call them again.

if you can put up with shitty hardware and shittier support.. then more power to you.

so we can get our rrod for $50 off now?

yay. :/


until they fix (and really fix them... not the band-aid repair that has been rumored to be happening) the system isnt worth more than $100.

yes.. i can see how you would say that. offering me cutting edge technology, with cutting edge games really does put a damper on hardcore gamers. :S

i've tried the wii. i played it for two months. i liked the gameplay, graphics, and options better on my ancient ps2 than i did the wii. having a pw3s0m3 new controller does not make a good game (as we've seen). nor does it make a console.

what it does make, is a fad/gimmick/casualgameheaven... or whetever the hell you wish to call it. the results are the same. people that know nothing about games... havent played games... and wouldnt know if the original e.t. was a good game or not, even if they played it. those of us that do care... are left in the cold as devs (just as you wii guys are starting to see) leave your ass in the cold to pursue the dollar from the people that dont know any better, and are too stupid to tell the difference. "oooooo i can make things move on the tv!" they are easily fascinated, and will unass their money quickly. if the wii concept spreads to other platforms (hasnt yet, but the hints are there)... then we're all fucked.

more than half the country proved they didnt have a brain amongst them by voting for bush twice in a row.... nintendo is doing nothing more than trying to capitalize and get them a piece of that before the party is over. if you enjoy it... more power to you simpleton.

"Hardcore gamers should welcome with open arms the expansion of the audience, as it just means more success overall. A rising tide lifts all boats."

yep... and then it becomes a fad, and the dollar dictates your game preference. i dont want to play casual games. i want my ninja gaidens and final fantasys and killzones.

is the 60 year old lady that bought the machine for wiifit going to rush out and get a copy of metroid prime? do you think because she loved it so much, that she would expand out to another system? no and no. we are dealing with a FAD, and that gimmick is going to pull down the things i love. sure, there will still be games for the hardcore out there, but their releases will be further and further apart as devs devote more resources to this casual bullsh** for the retirement home gamers.

thats it????


holy bore-fest.


lets hope sony can pull their heads from their rectums for tonight, cause as it stands now, microsoft is winning the cool press conference award.

great... an extra warranty that still wont pay for, or fix the disc scratching issue.... an extra warranty so i still get to wait for a couple of weeks when my 360 dies... an extra warranty so that it wont cost me money (for a while) to fix it... but still doesnt change the fact that i will only get approx 2 years playtime out of the 3 years of warranty. super.

kudos for doing SOMETHING... but this is a pr stunt people. its called damage control.
