This shouldn't be surprising for anyone. Everyone I knew, knew the 360 wasn't going to age well. It came with a current gen DVD drive, and a crappy proprietary HDD that was slapped on at the last minute (the thing is slower, holds betwean 20 - 120GB, and is more expensive then 500GB drives you can put in a ps3). People are gonna still buy Xbox's. Seriously who would wanna play a Playstation online? I played my PS3 online, and it's worthless, lifless, stupidity that is a total waste of time. Everytime I would play online, and meet someone worth putting on my friends list, when i would go into recent players, no names would ever be their, i would have to write their names down in the game lobby, quit out of the game, go to "add friend" and type their name in. So long as I can play all these great multiplayer games on Xbox live, I don't care what single player games are "too big" for the 360, and yeah I know GTA had multiplayer but we all know thats not what is filling up the disk.
p.s. The PS3 HDD is not proprietary, it supports 3.5" Laptop SATA drives which hold upto 500GB
[QUOTE="Riaz85"][QUOTE="PlasmaBeam44"]uhhh... they were calling WaW, COD5 before it had a subtitle, and treyarch made COD3, and i believe InfinityWard already stated they were working on COD6COD:W@W is NOT COD5. COD5 will be made by Infinity Ward and be called COD5: Insert Subtitle Here.
But COD4 is the better game all around. Better story, better multiplayer, and most importantly better guns.

Yeah and your also forgetting COD:Finest Hour and COD: Big Red One. I don't remember anyone calling those COD2 and COD3 at the time so why starting calling COD W@W COD5? Just because it came out after COD4 doesn't automatically make it COD5. It's a spinoff.
Finest Hour and Big Red One were both spin for the ps2, xbox, and gc, im guessing that genration of consoles didn't have what it took to run the original CoD engine, they were cheap simplified ports, and as i stated, "Call of Duty: World at War" was known as "Call of Duty 5" before they gave it a subtitleuhhh... they were calling WaW, COD5 before it had a subtitle, and treyarch made COD3, and i believe InfinityWard already stated they were working on COD6COD:W@W is NOT COD5.

Okay, I see what your point is, I played Battlefield 2 on PC, I never played as a Commander, but when I played a game with a Commander who knew what they were doing, it made winning almost a given. But don't go calling FPS's mindless shooters. You can go into a game with all the strategy you want, it all comes down to tactics. I play RainbowSix on gamebattles, and trust me, if all you go in their with is reflexes and a gun, your already dead. FPS's requires tactics beyond the obvious, you can have a strategy but if your up against a competent team that strategy usually doesn't last 30 seconds, its all tactics, how long does it take for the opposing team to get to point "a" or teammate "b" just died, where will the enemy try and flank from, what corridors will they try and lock down. its far more than twitch reflexes, is it fast past? yes, mindless? hardly. Now I don't think I would ever be a good commander in Battlefield 2, but I am far from a button mashing mindless idiot, oh and the R6:V2 clan i was in was #1 at the end of the first season and their are hundreds of people on that game who are a better shot than i, just not as smart.

Only thing I didn't like about Halo was the introduction of regenerating health, I remember playing RainbowSix 3. and feeling good after wounding someone in a clan match, but I've gotten used to it and noticed the benefits, players have more courage and camp less now, and I personally take advantage of health regeneration, knowing that its not a gamble to sprint to a better vantage point or better cover, or simply close the gap between me and my opponent
Apparently Col. Kilgore knows nothing of the state and capability of the fiber optic networks already in place and that download speed at this time is not limited by bandwidth but rather the switch relays. He also must not realize that in a couple months every Netflix subscriber with a 360 will be able to stream Netflix's 30,000 plus "watch now" library. I'm guessing this is the kind of guy who thought CD's would never be replaced by digital media...SuicideVanV2
no thats not the only limit for fiber optics networks, a large majority of buildings (apartments, condo's, office buildings) have what techs in the industry call ONT's (off-network termination) which goes to the "common closet" of a building and gets hooked up to the existing copper infastructure (and yes this includes verizon's fiber-to-the-home plan) their the bandwidth from one fiber is spread out over 8 living units (another words 8 customers share 1 fiber). it is mostly only houses and buisnisses that are getting fiber optic directly to them with no sharing
