I bought my 360° seven months after launch date and after four months it stopped working. Before this, not one of my other consoles did this (Atari, ColecoVision, NES, Gameboy, Genesis, SNES, PSOne, PS2, GBA, PSP, DS), so I´m very dissapointed about this next gen-failure rate... If this is also happening to the PS3, I´ll wait a long time before getting one, I don´t need anymore headaches.
I had to take out my Intercooler because it was causing me trouble a lot of trouble while playing Dead Rising (the console turned itself off and the power brick light went red)... apparently the problem was not common because I couln´t find anything in the web about this...
I agree with #20.- rokerovakero theory about game distribution microtransactions it makes a lot of sense... Maybe we´ll be getting magazines filled with demo games that will just load and expand the rest of the experience that you´ll be getting by getting the rest of the experience online.
But what about people that don´t use the online mode???
Yeah MrP is right, this marketing scheme has been there since the 50´s (The Lone Ranger series + Lone Ranger Pistol and disguise, Flash Gordon series + Flash Gordon set), ... so why change now???. If the Viva Piñata! stories are good and thoughtful then parents shouln´t have any problem with the products, because parents will be spending their money anyway...
Well, the PS3 may be getting delayed and there will be a lot of people that will have to wait... but if Sony can pull out a console that doesn´t overheat, destroys Blurays or just fails for no reason, it will be a winner to me.
Forza 2, looks fine, but I enjoy arcade racers... like... you know... Riiiiiiiiiiiidge Raceeeeeeeer!!!! ;-) and Burnout, PGR was a great game, but not arcadey enough.
People, the answer lies in those androgenic lips... they whisper: No PS3 for the most of you... until 2007. Hey that´s not a scoop, that´s common knowledge!!!.
Great, now I want to bite those lips... I hate you, Freud!!!.
So, do you think Sony will bundle a composite cable???... I mean those sets are very common, aren´t they???. Anything else for the 600dls tag is a joke. BTW the Sony 10 ft (3 mts) HDMI cables carry a 60dls tag.
Gotta love the way those chikin´legged headless cybernetic cows did their job... It would be awesome if Kojima Productions replicated the way the human characters move and feel in the trailer, with the hand gestures and urban/guerrilla tactics.
PS3 is following in 360's footsteps
