The real reason is this:

There is no licensing fee whatsover to distribute and release a game for the PC platform. On the other hand, when releasing a game for a console, you have to pay fees directly to the console manufacture for licensing rights to be allowed to release that game for their platform. also you have to offset the costs of the $15,000 devkits and other expensive, proprietary softwar/hardware/firmware licensing that you don't need to deal with so much when releasing a PC game.

You can trust me on this, I work in the industry. Always glad to answer questions :)

Capcom Exec: "Wow, I sure hate black people. I wonder how I can share that view with the world."
Capcom Producer: "I hate black people too, why don't we make a game where all you do is kill negros?"

Capcom Exec: "You've sold me on this idea!"

yeah, I'm sure that happened. :roll:

It's not racist unless it's intentional. I dont think anyone on this planet will play Resident Evil 5 and then turn to his friend and say "you know, I was playing RE5, and it made me realize how bad black people really are!" that's not very likely.

In RE2, RE3, Dead Rising, and countless other games by countless publishers and developers, you kill multiple people of multiple ethnicities. that's not racism because it's not a race-motivated crime! hell, you'll killing them because they're the BADGUY. not because they're BLACK. I've played numerous games where white people are the badguy. or aliens. or monsters. or mutants. It doesn't ***** matter.

^^^^^^^

true as that is, where did upscaling issues come into this?

Dude I have no idea, but someone brought it up.

[QUOTE="drumerdude361"]yes that is true. i forgot about the native resolutions of certian tvs. Which in my case is 1080i. but i was never really sure of my native resolution. i assumed it was 1080i b/c my tvs highest setting is 1366X768. was i correct in putting it at the 1080i setting? Radiozo

720p is closer to your native resolution. But again if you cant notice a differance then it doesnt matter.

I cant either on my 1366x768 LCD. Both look and play the same to me.

trust these words from a 3D artist:

it's better to go from a higher resolution and shrink it DOWN, then to stretch it UP to something closer.

always always ALWAYS.

it makes me laugh when americans COMPLAIN!!!! what the hell are you b1tching about? I live in ireland and our renewals are roughly 10-20 dollars dearer.

I am Canadian and We pay the exact same, actually, $10 more than the Americans. and We don't get any of the TV shows, IPTV, or 99% of that other cool stuff, yet I have never once complained about it, where as here I see so many yanks whine and whine and WHINE. I think that's all they know how to do. nothing is ever good enough for them!

but I know, topic creator, you're in Australia and I was not refering to you.

MMOs are an execption as the devs continue matinence, mods + admins and the HUGE amount of dedicated servers hosted.

you realize that this is exactly what we pay LIVE for, right? the exact same things you mentioned about MMOs, and yet MMOs will cost you a huge ton of money over one year, where as LIVE is only $50. so stop complaining you god damn whiners. that's all I see on this site. you all must be like 14 years old and can't convince your parents to pay it for you. go out and get a job. $50 is like half a days work.

All I see on here is people complaining about having to pay for map packs and other content, like it's their given right for it to be free. WELL ITS NOT! companies spend a lot of money on making content like that, and they are ALLOWED to charge money for it. you have that CHOICE, to pay and have it, or not pay and don't have it.

as the saying goes; you can't always get what you wan't.

I'd suggest it needs a new name, maybe XBOX Revolution or XBOX X or XBOX 960 or XBOX Slim.

What else... Flatter Design - comes in many colours, wireless everything(plugs etc), different design, more fans inside the console; less noiser, huge ass keyboard built in to the console. That's about it.Alpha172

plugs? wireless plugs? wireless power supplies use tremendous ammounts of microwaves, potentially very harmful ammounts. you don't want that.

gosh everyone forgets R6:vegas
