M$ burning its own fans

Just outta curiosity how does it feel to be burned by your own loyal company. I too was on the xbox 360 bandwagon at one time, thankfully i saw the red rings of death and realized that the ps3 was the way to go.

So why would anyone want a 360 right now?Halo 3 ... duh? if we want to play that this fall we have to purchase a 360, but which sku seeings as there will be 4 diff ones this fall. (core, pro, elite, halo themed). For the casual consumer this is incredibly confusing. what about the other killer app 360 games coming out? Yea, those are good reasons to purchase it.

But lets recap all of the smash hits for the 360 and orig xbox for that matter have been ported to the pc for M$ to maximize profits, consequently the pc ports have usually had more content or are just plain better versions of the game. Ex. (Halo, Halo2, we all know halo 3 will follow, Lost Planet, and others). Oh yea lets not forget that "exclusive" console pusher Gears of War, Epic made a small fortune off of that game selling over 4 million copies worldwide. Thats some serious chump change fellows.

Oh wait didn't they say that GeoW was going to re released on the pc? Yes they did, and it would have extra content. Wow thats amazing way to go M$ burn the consumer a lil more next time. Just outta curiosity, why would anyone want to purchase a 360?

It seems to me that the best combo for the gamer isnt the wii60, but instead the pc3? It seems as if any game that is release on the xbox platform and is worthwhile will also be re released on the pc. But sony games and gonna stick on the ps3 the place they belong. Well looks like this post will get the e3 fire heated up. Oh yea just to add a lil more fuel to the fire Hideo Kojima stated several times today at the conference that MGS4 will be a ps3 exclusive. No more dreaming for you guys on the 360.

If it does go to PC it'll probably be much faster than Halo 2 (which MS held back so it could co-incide with Vista's launch) and probably be more like Halo CE, which came out over a year before Halo 2.

But you still have a point, it is often less trouble to just get a 360, as not everything will be a timed exclusive.

i understand what your saying as everything wont be time exclusives, but the majority of the decent games will be ported. For the ones that are willing to wait a few months on the pc version they will get a better version nearly every time.THE_G_BEAR

how long did it take for people to get Halo2 on the pc?

the only reason it took so long was because M$ was milking it for all it was worth. It could have been release much earlier but they wanted to make it vista only..... Halo 3 will be out on pc within 6 months after the release for 360 mark my words and it will more than likely have extra content.

6 months seems a little soon I think, they'd want to give the 360 a chance to pick up all the strength it could, I'd imagine it'd be a little over a year like Halo CE.

I'm still on my first X360, since I got it more than 12 months ago. I'm not going to trade it in for a system that has barely any good games that I can't get on the X360. All the 2007/8 lineups are all on the X360 which I want (except MGS4). I also got the Wii to cover Japanese games that may be only PS3/Wii exclusives and for a different playing experience.

I don't think I'm getting burned by M$ per se, but I think it's money well spent. Since I'm getting the product and quality that I want (which is so far great since I haven't got the RoD at all).

thank you for your contribution. It seems as if my goal is acomplished i stepped on your fanboyish toes.

I think I got the best combo ever PC,PS3, Wii, cause I get almost every game eventually. The ps3, and Wii keep me busy while I wait for xbox's timed exclusive expires, but I never really got into Halo. I'm gonna pick the first one up on the pc just to say I played it and for 18 bucks I can't go wrong. silversurfergold

Sounds like a good plan i wil probably purchase a wii when brawl hits store shelves this december.

BUMP

I am PC3 and its damn good. I dont mind waiting for halo, i still have awsome games to pass the time. And when do come out i get mods. Mmmm you lemmings get exclusives, but they end up going to pc. Ps3 exclusives stay on the ps3, no one can dream of playing it unless they buy a ps3. Gotta love the full meaning of exclusive.Sully28

Nicely said Sully its nice being a pc3 eh?
