I swear they are dumb, its like $2000 for GTA4 including one month of free XBOX LIVe GOld membership. Now is that worth it to any of you guys or do you also think of it as mentally dumb?

I said the same thing about this guy who paid $145.00 for Guilty Gear X and I got that same game for $19.99 on ebay and yes the game is rare. But still. XBOX Live gold is cheap and you can get GTA4 for like $30.00 now or even lesser if your lucky. Someone won it for 25.00

Oh, well I just thought it was somthing to talk about but whatever. I'd slap a guy if I knew him and he paid that much for a worthless title he could get lesser including the live thing for 4 months. Not free but still he wouldn't get ripped off. Even if it was his own money I'd have to teach him good money management skills.

There are three or four different Xbox360 types. can someone tell me if the graphics are the same or different on each of these consoles? Like since the Xbox Elite cost more and has more advanced stuff built inside of it. Does the graphics look any different on it than the Xbox 360 Arcade or Pro?

I'm just getting the cheapest one, don't care about the xtra stuff just want a new console to play all because of Fable 2 and thats the game I am falling on next month.

Does anyone else think that Fable 2 has better concept art than the actual game itself???? When I was viewing some of the art on Fable 2's official website. I swear the real art of all the characters and such look fantastic. But when you look at screen shots for the gameplay, they look so identical to the first Fable game.

Quite honestly the female characters look s3xy in the art lol but for some reason their hidious in the real game. And the male characters have huggge smiles too.

Whats up with Lionhead???

Not only does the console cost the same price as the original XBOX did. The console is loaded with a hand full of fantastic titles. Heck the console stole half of PS3 exclusive titles except for Metal Gear Solid 4. This makes making a decision quite easy. I also found out that Final Fantasy IIIX is coming to the 360 too! Never was a big fan of the new Final Fantasies because they were too boring and lacked interesting characters. I'd still say that Final Fantasy 7 has the best characters and FF8 comes in second. I strongly believe that anyone that doesn't own a next gen console. And doesn't know which one to get? Go for the 360, the only issue is graphics but not all 360 games have poor graphics. PS3 depended solely upon its graphic and the ability to do allot more than all the other consoles. In the end the system became an ultimate waste which pulled a NEO GEO price tag which was the consoles biggest down fall.

But at least the NEO GEO did have games on it.

I know some of you reading this will probably get mad and say I offended you or something knowing very well I'm not trying to. I'm always getting those stupid messages saying I annoyyed or made someone upset. When it comes down to stuff like movies, video games, or even music. I'm pretty nuetral about that kind of stuff meaning I don't take sides at all.

But nobody will ever stop me from speaking my mind or my opinion about something. Now what I have seen so far is all PS3 exclusive titles switch over to the XBOX360 why is that? I mean I didn't think for a second Resident Evil 5 would also come to XBOX 360, this is great! Because now I get the option of playing allot of great games for a cheap price. Although I could care less about Devil May Cry 4, but Metal Gear 4 is one of those games I'll never get to play which is why I spoiled half of the game by watching it on youtube.com So chances are if I got a PS3 console and played the game. I'd pretty much know everything thats going on or how everything works.

I've always owned one console while my brother would have the other. In the 1990s I had a Sega and my brother had the Super Nintendo. Later on he got a PSX and I got a Nintendo 64. Then he bought the PS2 and I bought an Xbox. Now I'm thinking of getting a Xbox 360 and he'll most likely get a PS3. So it was like exclusives didn't exist. If I had Streets of Rage he would have Final Fight. And if I had Sonic the hedge hog he would have Super Mario.

To me its a great choice to just have the Xbox 360. Cheap, and all PS3 exclusives are coming to it. All except for 2.

Can XBOX 360 allow you to upload songs from CDs into the game? Like how the original XBOX would let you copy songs off a CD onto the system. And you can play those songs while you play the game. I've been wanting to get the Soundtrack for that PSX game "LOADED" but can't find it anywhere. I was playing it while watching some of the clips for Ninja Gaiden II and it actually sounds pretty good. So, I was sitting here thinking "wow the tracks on this game Loaded would fit well with almost any action game.

Let me be honest the PS3 is a failure console compared to the PSX and PS2. Where the he11 are all the games for crying out loud?

Well I was planning on buying a PS3 just for one month to play MGS4 since I love the game series. I wouldn't want to miss out on this one if global warming were to happen tomorrow and we all died because of major flooding.

On a serious note, I looked through the game titles for PS3 and the thing doesn't even have hardly any games at all except Devil May Cry 4, MGS4, and GTA4. As much as I'd love to get the console I am leaning towards Xbox360 instead. Maybe within the coming years despite MGS4 being an exclusive title. Hideo could possibly change his mind, Metal Gear is a multi-platform game in general. Which started out on the Nintendo console when it first was developed. Then later the game came to the PSX console, then the PS2, Gamecube, and even several portable versions of the game like "Acid" and "Twin Snakes" were made. Including a version for XBOX of MGS2 Susbstance, and Metal Gear X.

The same thing can be said for other games that were exclusives but became multi-platform titles. Grand Theft Auto is one of them. As well as Sonic the Hedgehog and even the King Of Fighters series which was strictly just NEO GEO until finally the games were also being made for the PS2 console and now the PS3.

Gaming wars are somewhat non-existent. And I am one of the few people who don't care what console a game is on so long as I can afford that console and be able to play the game on it.For me its not about being dedicated to a system as a fan, its about my ability to play the game on which ever console I can afford it on. Back in the day, people use to have either one console or the other due to system wars between Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo. The consoles even had their own mascots to rival each other "Sonic Vs Super Mario" was always on the front pages of magazines in the 1990s. And every year a new game would rival against another for that one console. Multi platforming was unheard of for certain games. For instance Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat were on both consoles including the Arcade. But games such as Streets Of Rage and Final Fight were exclusives for one console only. Nobody in America could afford a Neo Geo so people only went to Arcades when they wanted to play something different or new. That Sega and Nintendo didn't have.

Neo Geo was like the PS3, except today people are careless with money and will easily go out to buy both a 360 and a PS3. When you total the amount of money spent on the consoles and games. It probably totals out to over $2000 and more especially if you pay over price for it from the stores or even on Ebay. One could only ask what kind of job do most gamers actually have and if they do work, how can they keep up in school to at the same time pay for very expensive games to play every night and day or any time they wanted? Its like a far cry, especially with everything going up every year such as food prices, gas (if you own a car), and even housing is getting steep in most cases. So where is the dough coming from?!!!?!?!?!

With that being said, I believe that the PS3 is nothing like the true gaming consoles. The thing is pricy yet, has little to no games at all. What makes it even worst, is that the PSX is actually more enjoyable than the PS3 due to its huge list of rare games like Final Fantasy IIV, Castlevania Symphony of the Night, Parasite Eve, and etc. The PS3 would do well to revive some of these games as well as learn from the older consoles by developing more titles. That people are going to want to play over and over again without getting bored. Playing video games to the end only to find out there is a lack of replayability makes it less of a fun experience unless the game is just plain fun and addictive like how Shenmu, Fable, and even The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina of Time. I played the he11 out of those games none stop.

Resident Evil 5 and Metal Gear 4 were going to be my only reasons for buying a PS3 regardless of rewards for finishing the games. But I honestly think that Fable 2 convinced me allot more due to it being allot more replayable than any of the games on the PS3 console. Chances are I could spend $400 on the PS3 finish MGS4 and return the whole thing. At least with an Xbox 360 your getting a whole lot more than just one or two titles. The issue I have with this console is that PS3 graphics actually look next generation. While the 360 games still looks so identical to the original XBOX games. Which would explain why the console is so cheap. More games+Fair afforable price for everyone=Sloppy graphics. But this does not harm the gameplay in any way. Since Assassins Creed looks amazing on both systems. Ninja Gaiden II still looks like the first game, and Halo 3 looks exacally like Halo 2. Chances are I won't pay close to little attention to gaming graphics if I really love the game.

Eventually I'll own both consoles, but that'll possibly be when the next next NEXT Generation consoles are made.

Is there a cheat that allows you to play with the younger version of snake they showed in one of the trailers before the game was even released?

As much as I would love to play MGS4, I have to say the Middle East is a boring setting for a game like this. Seems like every game is set in the middle east ever since the Iraq war took place in 2001 if I'm correct. Although the setting in MGS 1 is still the best out all the games. I would of loved to see MGS4 set in a much more better part of the world than the boring Middle East. To be honest it would of been better if it was Vietnam or some other part of Asia would of been a more interesting setting. But its not like it matters now that the game is finished. And I cant play it anyway lol. Oh well I just felt like saying something for the day. Hope all that does get it have a great time though. Ever since school started I completely ditched playing video games including the ones I want to play. But still play the hell out of those 2D fighters on my NEO GEO console -laughs-

Konami in general. Also like a few games from SNK. I'm not familier with allot of game developers though.
