HOW many people go on XboX live?? this gen it was less than 5 Million

well in Jan of 2005 it was 1.4 http://www.xbox365.com/news/news.cgi/article/EEpyFFpyEZRZGNoyQV0617

There are 5 Million people playing WOW right now and that is just one of the MMOG so wouldn't you say that PC is the future of Online games??

How will such a small fraction of XboX 360 instaled base make a difference?? To me it may just make a difference to the MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of people who do not have BB who will feel short changed, and decide not to buy XboX 360!!

I believe the figure for 360 users is over 50%. Read that somewhere.

And no, people didn't skip the 360 because they don't have broad band. get a clue. they can't keep 360's in stores, in case you forgot. and you make it seem as though the Rev and PS3's will have a 56k modem option. :lol:

keep your perspective. don't hate on XBLive. It is what's happening next.

[QUOTE="billyea"]i agreed years ago, it already revolutionized this generation



same here.  Since I have a MCE PC and an HDTV, I've been getting the full experience, and everything that young man (or woman) said is 100% true.  it is an experience all its own.  the amount of things this console does and does with excellence is astounding.  the software on the system is truly the killer app.  the gamerscore points make you an addict of games you ordinarially would give up on.  private chatting with my little brother back home (Parkland, FL) while I'm @ school (Univ. of Michigan, Ann arbor) as we play 2 different games or while I'm watching a movie (360 is still live-aware even when  DVD is in the drive)....watching recorded editions of The Family Guy that I dubbed on my MCE PC and then playing them back through my 360...and yes, even these early games look glorious when enjoyed in HD.  It's made Halo 2 hard to go back to. 

Now, if you don't have an HDTV you may be underwhelmed by some games (SDTV just won't cut it for this gen for much longer).  And without installing MCE and a TV tuner card on your PC, you miss the real advantage of having MCE connectivity (I now understand why there are so many avid TiVo users.  it pwns to be able to watch your shows on YOUR schedule.)...but as long as you have LIVE, your experience will be assured to be rich and enjoyable.  And as long as devs keep XBLArcade going and growing with old school hits and band new experiences...as long as the downloadable demos and movie trailer coffers continue to be updated, my 360 will be turned ON more than it will be turned OFF.

[QUOTE="AdrianWerner"][QUOTE="AntUK15"][QUOTE="AdrianWerner"]MGS4 who? Gears of War what? :D Crytek owns everyone, those graphics are easily the best we've seen so far. look at that face! Look at the fricking pores. suddenly Snake isn't so impressive anymore!> Andthat's a face of a damn enemy, not main character! so..it has happened...next-gen is the first gen ever when consoles will never be able to blow Pcs away. Crysis release will mark the point from which Pcs will start to surpass consoles this gen. crysis won't completely murder PS3 or 360, but it will look better than anything they will have when it will be out. And from then the diffrence will only get bigger. THere's just no way either PS3 or 360 will be able to handle this, not so much because of details, but because of the details put in such epic scale...petite 512MBs of memory won't be anywhere near enough to handle this. And... it looks like crytek is officialy the best graphic developer around right now. THey own both Epic and ID

Its programmed on a 7800 GTX, and what GPU is better than that card?? RSX :wink: And learn how console's use memory FFS :lol:

LOL :) If it's running as a game it's most likely using 4x7800....which is a lot more powerful than Rsx. the game is being written with DX10 GPUs in mind and Dx10 GPUs will make rsx look liek a joke. And sure..consoles do use memory diffrently, but still..512MBs is nowhre near enough. Console devs can squeeze more space, but..there is a reason why console games always have worse textures than PC ones and levels cut into small pieces. Sorry, but you will never be able to see such graphics on your PS3, not in such type of game at least. funny..year ago all the Sony fanboys were goign crazy with how PS3 will murder Pcs in power..and yet it looks like it won't have any real advantage over PCs.



Indeed.  PC gaming will always be superior.  Just the nature of that market.  Upgrades every 6 months are the key.

[QUOTE="Ryujin_X"]TCHBO hard! Looks like your "it will look the same as the trailer" is out the window. And so much for hype claims about PS3 and CELL. 1080p my ass. McLarenAK47

wow u truly astound me. do u even read.



For arguments' sake, that dev did pretty much say (s)he expects 720p to be the common rez for PS3 games.

its quite obvious that no dev will waste their time looking for 1080p resolution when almost nobody has a TV that can send out those signals. why use 1080p when u can run it in 720p and get more textures in. it looks to be very simple to me. and i bet 1080p will be used for movies. but for games its a little farfetched.



I agree 100%.  But you know many here are still under the impression that they will see 1080p games.  :-/

Guess I got lucky and got a good 360 as well. However I'm glad I read this forum before I even got my 360 so I knew how to prevent the crashes from starting, although they are mostly common sense things.nrt25


Yup.  I'll definitely move my brick off of the carpet when I get home (at the Family's for thanksgiving).

[QUOTE="katalist"] I have had no over-heating at all and its been playing games 20 hours in the last 3 days.



No problems for me either.  I have my powerbrick sitting on carpet behind my entertainment center.  Played in segments of about 3 hours...watched movies via the Media Center Edition connection for about 4 hours.  Good luck, guys!
