In my opinion, I believe its the reason for the sales success of the 360. Think about it, one person that I know said that he bought 12 systems since each one he bought had the RROD. Now, if he bought that during the $399 price phase, that's $4800 that he spent and Microsoft puts in the bank. That contributes to sales to yes, Microsoft failed system is contributing to sales. Plus, some good games but mostly b/c of the its RROD.
Well, my birthday is the 25th but the game doesn't come out until the 29th. I'm not going to use vacation, sick time or holiday. I'm going to buy the game, keep it in its wrapper until the 2nd of May and then I'm turning off my cellphone, unplugging my house phone, turn off my doorbell, create an electrical circuit on my front door so when someone knocks, they are going to get shocked. I will dedicate that weekend to playing GTA 4 nonstop until I finish the game and do side missions right after.
Halo 3 graphics sux to me. The game was actually created under an awkward resolution plus they design the game screen in half so that they can take advantage of the lighting and lighting textures. That looks good but still doesn't look graphically good as Condemned 2 or Uncharted. Hell, even R6: Vegas and Gears of War is better in textures and bit mapping. I'm not a Halo fan but I liked the third one. It felt more epic to me instead of the first 2. You can really tell the graphics aren't that good when you look at the game on an HDTV; especially the character's face and a close up of the scenery. Other than that, an okay game.
P.S. Halo reminds me of a game that was created on the Nintendo 64. Same story and weapons; that's probably why I don't like Halo as much.
I have a 360 and the 60GB PS3 but I don't have the Wii. I enjoy playing both all the systems. Each one has their advantages and disadvantages. The 360 have a lot of good games but most of the games are FPS. In fact, 70% of my games for my 360 are FPS. I think MS needs to find more success in other genre for their system. PS3 has good games and not enough games. It's only a year old and no one has use the full power of the system yet (Gran Turismo 5 might be close to using the full power). With some good exclusives, it might change these forum wars that's been bashing the PS3. I don't own the Wii but I might someday. A few games caught my attention due to the way you play the game. A lot of people are saying that it's just a fad. Who really knows! It's been successful to grab both the young and old audience (39 and older). It may not have the graphic capability as the others but it is very innovative. Not to be a fanboy, but personally, I like the PS3 b/c of the older games that I enjoy playing on them and the fact that there are sequels of those games coming out for the PS3 (God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5 and Killzone 2).
In the end, there is enough room for all three systems to grow so stop the fanboyism and system bashing and just play! You are entitled to your own opinion but you don't have to be a a** about it.
I would have to say Final Fantasy 7, of course, Silent Hill, Philosoma ( a lot of you probably don't remember this game but it was one of the early release games), Tomb Raider 1, 2, 3, and Resident Evil 3.
I've been through a lot of websites giving reviews of games and it seems that a lot of people go by their review rating. Some websites score differently on the same game and that can cause some confusion for the buyers. Remember, every review that a person writes might not like that particular genre of games so instead of going by the reviews that these website post, try it yourself. Trust me, there are a lot of games that I end up buying b/c I try it rather than go by a rating system that is completely biased.
The main purpose of a phone is to talk to people. All the other features are a plus but do you really need them? Let's look at something. You can get a cellphone as low as $20, an MP3 player for $50 (1GB), a portable DVD player for $50, at-home internet access between $30-$100 and digital camera for $150 (8.3 Megapixels) That's $370, much cheaper than an iPhone but its portable rather than haveing all tose devices. The point is you are saving money
Again, its the price I'm concerned about here. I understand that they are not in competition with each other. ( Different markets) Why buy a phone that other phones do that cost less and why complain about a price of one thing when you go buy something else that cost the same that does the same thing that a low cost device does?
You have a point there, I guess the companies that make product to sell to consumers have a motto: Consumers Are Idiots! A lot of people don't lokk at the reality of things so they go by perception. Your absolutely right!
