Xbox Live Arcade takes a break, but Microsoft assures it won't be long

Jan 30th 2007 6:22PM (Joystiq)
Why is it either or with you guys?

They both suck. I have about the same amount of XBLA games as I do Wii VC games, and I've now put a stop to buying them, except in rare cases.

XBLA titles are rarely any good, but when they are, they are worth the money (HD, co-op, leaderboards, achievements, multiplayer). But there are so few good XBLA titles, it's hard to call this a winner.

Whereas with the Wii, you get good titles, that you've played before, and even if you haven't, in most cases you could buy the physical game for less than Nintendo's asking price. With no upgrades of any kind. And if you haven't played it before, there is no demo. So where does that leave someone who wants to try before they buy? Suddenly they download a rom, and of those that do, I would wager 1/10 actually purchase the game after they have it for free.

So, in my opinion, they both suck.

That is all. :p

PS3 bike commercial: This is living? This isn't even trying

"Oh for crist sake... Enough with the Sony bashing, this is a comercial for the UK, our culture is diferent then yours so if you don't like it, no one cares, we do enjoy these types of comercials, we find them to be ALOT better then crappy the "Jump in" comercials."

So it's true what they say. UK'ers are rude and bad spellers.

They also love run-on sentences and can't take criticism.

No, I'm not being serious.

Though, the use of the term "xbots" was particularly insightful. Bravo.

Fanboys are going to have a tough time trying to wrap their head around this one.

Microsoft execs tag-team PS3's online service

"WELL WHATS FREE ABOUT 400 DOLLARS?"

Nothing, and they never advertised it as such.

Of course, to realize this, that would require what we adults call 'critical thinking.'

GameStop pulls out creative stops to move PS3s

ROFL at all the people saying this is a photoshop, joke, or a set-up.

My local Targets, Shopkos, Best Buys, EBs, Gamestops, even my local used game shop "Gamer's" has PS3's. I stopped into a Gamestop last night where a buddy works, and he said he has 8 in back, and more coming next week.

A hoax? Hardly. 3DO? Perhaps.

Sony shortages show signs of slowing?

"Put a game like Tekken 5 on the last gen PS2 against Dead or Alive on the Xbox 360 and there isn't that much of a difference graphically"

I won't argue that DOA plays better than Tekken, but come on. "Not much of a difference?" As it stands right now, DOA4 looks better than VF 5 for god's sake (a game that is also coming to the 360).

Rumor: Tekken 6 on Xbox 360

"nor does the Grand Theft Auto Clone"

Except for the part where the controls are more solid, and the gameplay more fun as a result.

But I guess you'd have to play it to understand that.

Gears of War doing its job as a system seller?

"Gears of war, or Plastic of war!!!!!!"

Don't be upset the 360 can do effects the PS3 can't. The sooner you accept it, the better for everyone.

Analyst: PS3 will win with 75 million units by 2010

"@OmahaGTP: Nice diversionary tactic. Tell him now about how the Cell is a lot more powerful than the Xenon.

Oh wait.. that'd be fair."

Does that have anything to do with looks, aka, what he was talking about?

Or the fact that the Cell or horrendously underutilized at the current state, and he said the games look better now? Which they don't.

Yeah, sorry I forgot to mention that relevant nugget of info.

"I been playing my ps3 every day since I got it, and it makes the 360 look like the dreamcast"

I assume you mean the actual console aesthetics, right? Or do you not realize the 360 GPU is stronger?
