I am Romanian and I'm sick and tired of f'ing Dracula and the legends and s*it made up about him! But you, Westerners, seem to love him more and more! He didn't even exist for God sake! There you have it! I also like GRAW. OK, that was totally random...I go now...
yea if MS lets the people who own 360's turn them in to get the v2 and pay the coverage cost of the extra added things i think all will go well. hopefully they will do that and show some compassion towards us. better start praying.DoE_bOi
There is now way MS would do that. There are over 10 mil. 360's sold today and if MS decides to implement a replacement plan, there would still be a little over 10 mil. 360's sold...Not very good for business; they want to sell more, not replace the existing ones... If you buy a car with a certain engine and enjoy it and then the company builds a new engine for the car, do you think you can trade the one you bought for the new and improved one? Why would you expect this from MS then? Zephyr or whatever it will be called is good only for the ones who don't own a 360 yet, but for the rest of the users doesn't mean much. If the price goes down on the current Premium model, expect a lot of Premiums to be sold. I know that's what I'm buying! All I care about is a new 65 nm chip and maybe the bigger hdd. Don't really care about colours or flavors or hdmi's and the like. Progress is the name of the game in electronics industry...It was bound to happen sooner or later. Let's not forget that Sony release a new colour for the PS2 and slap a bigger price on it just for that! MS is showing more respect.
The simple fact that Half-Life 2 is getting ready for a third and fourth release on totally new and different systems shows that there's still demand for this game and the level of recognition is receiving is virtually unparalleled. So, yes, HL is better than Halo in this regard...But both franchises brought something new to the fps genre and they've evolved combat in a manner which can only be surpassed by more Halo's and HL's. Do we really have to pick one? Can't we just bow our heads in respect and play both of them?
I don't have a modded PSP, I buy my UMDs, but I will make a comment on game size...After looking on various websites, the ones that show what pirated games are released, I found that most PSP game images don't even hit the 1 GB mark, so clearly there's a lot of room for improvement...for more quality content, like textures, shadows, sounds, in-game movies, game modes, etc. I guess none of those can compete with the lack of imagination and/or effort. My complaint about games is that they lack proper lighting and shadows...Daxter has them and that is one gorgeuse looking game, so does Twisted Metal Head On, why can't they all have them? X-Men Legends 2 has some blobs instead of shadows, same goes with GTA and so on (I'm only talking about the games I own, only 4 at the moment). I'm not asking for some advanced lighting and shadowing techniques like dinamic shadows, normal mapping or stuff like that, just a nice light and a detailed shadow of the character... It's obvious that the PSP can handle nicer lighting, more detailed shadows and sharper textures than what we've seen so far...but the devs are lazy and rush everything and they make up excuses about the hardware...Also, most games don't even run at the chip's full potential (333 mhz), they only run in the 200s... I like gameplay to be complemented by something beautiful to look at, but unfortunately only a handful of games satisfy these normal needs... Because in Romania PSP games are priced at over 60 USD 'cause of big taxes (yeah, I know!) I buy my games from Australian (dvdcrave) and Chinese(play-asia) sites and I have to wait a month before they come to my door, I want more quality in games and I'm really sad about the fact that things can be a lot better, but are not...Maybe I can buy some hope, I'm starting to lose mine.

I don't think it's spelled that way, it's more like 'meine bruden' (looks Germanish, doesn't it?) and based on what I think translates to 'my brothers'... We need a nazi to clear things up...
Metal Gear Solid : portable ops got delayed again for Europe. First it said it is going to be released in February then march then April now MAY, what the hell is wrong with them.

I know it sucks...and we'll be buying a game which will be 5-6 months old and paying full price for it...
It'd suck if it's a remake of the first game.zabimaru_howl
I don't own a PS2 so I've never played or seen in action God of War, but I own a PSP...I'd be happy with any content they throw in the PSP version of the game, although I admit that it would be cooler if they find a way to merge some parts from the two PS2 versions and cram them on one UMD, sort of what Ubi did with SC Esentials, but hopefully in a much better fashion. Who knows, maybe Sony decide to release GoW 1 and then GoW 2 for the PSP to make more money...Either way, they can't go wrong - we're talkin' about one (maybe two) incredibly amazing action game(s)...
I'm curious about one thing: what's the latest manufacturing date for a broken console? Maybe we can start from here...Perhaps after a certain date it'll all be OK *soul trembles with fear*
nyc05, I wish you the best of luck in the fight with MS, but I think that because your newest system was built after 1.1.06, the one year warranty won't apply anymore because it's only meant for consoles with a manufacturing date prior to 1.1. Furthermore, a warranty covers only a device and not a person...Again I say good luck to you! but the chance is very-very small...Maybe they'll make an exception and do the moral thing, if not the right/legal one.
