Forge talk, iMax and pay to go Bungie Pro [update 1]

Aug 18th 2007 6:07PM (Joystiq Xbox)
Judging by the comments, there will be those paying for this. I certainly won't, but that's because I can't imagine needing more than the 6 slots they offer for free (purchase of the game).

Still they want around $10 for 250m per year. Hell, Google gives me 2GB for free, but then again it has some ads.

$10/250m=$40/GB

a 100GB hard drive would then cost $4000.00

I guess there is some bandwidth in there as well, but it doesn't seem like a good value at all.

HDMI 360s at Best Buy have their own SKU

Aug 14th 2007 6:32PM (Joystiq Xbox)
#3: Do not expect BB to give you an HDMI 360 if you take your non HDMI unit in for product replacement. BB, somehow has an 'arrangement' with M$ to sell really old stock.

My first 360 from BB was May 2006 and the manufacture date was Dec 2005 (how did they still have launch boxes?!) A few months later I had to exchange again and the replacement box was also Dec 2005 manufacture date. A few months ago (June 2007) I exchanged yet again and the manufacture date is Jan 2006.

Bottom line is BB will have plenty of old 360s to replace your 360 with for at least another year or 2.

MS blames Xbox "abuse" for deadly fire

Jesus. An infant died in a fire caused by a 360. The family wants 50 grand.

Pay the damn money already.

Asking the family to pay M$ legal fees is just insulting.

Condemned 2 altered to prevent AO rating

Tired of this. It's about time someone just released a AAA title with an AO rating and sold it themselves mail order. Have an M rated version for WalMart.

X3F hands-on: Viva Pinata: Party Animals

goodness, I got the original VP for the family. Everyone loved it for a few days and then it was over. Too repetitive.

Now a dumbed down version is coming out? I thought the original was mega dumbed down.

I agree with the above... let the handhelds and Nintendo have the stupid kiddy crap, lets get on with the real games.

GTAIV trailer is live. Thoughts?

fail to see what the praise is about, it wasn't gameplay footage. How can one base any opinion on a trailer that shows no gameplay footage?

Liam Neeson to provide voice for Fallout 3

Jun 5th 2007 10:02PM (Joystiq Xbox)
What I like about big name talent doing the voice acting is these are people who can actually act.

They understand things like pacing, tone, inflection and the affect it has on the mood.

I do agree that if the voice is one I instantly recognize it isn't the greatest, even if the voice acting is superb, but as of yet that has only been a problem in Oblivion and only because the same voices were used for so many NPCs. Hope that's not the case here.

DLC has yet to find the sweet spot

A full game that took years to make costs $60.

For any downloadable content to cost more than $5 is a rip off.

It's that simple.

No DVD to burn, no case, no manual, no middle man retailer just an electronic distribution of minor content that took weeks or months to make.

Grand Theft Auto IV images galore!

the gallery is just a rip off from IGN anyway, just go there. This site never has anything original other than 'after the break' which is gay.

A closer look at BioShock's Little Sisters

can't hurt little sisters? Way to puss out.
