Actually the 360 is pretty silent when playing DVDs and XBox games. Pretty loud for 360 games though. This is based on an Xbox 360 I bought a few weeks ago
Im amazed you managed to get the World Cup into that. Should be a Slashdot competition, who can fit the World Cup into any article with the most relevance!
Yoshinori Kitase: Initially, we were thinking about making FFXIII on PS2 and FFVersusXIII on a next-gen platform.
Do you think they meant the 360 by the "next gen platform"? It's not like them to be coy, why didn't they just say PS3? In fact in the next sentence they say
But we altered that plan and decided to make both titles on PlayStation 3.
The media will go crazy with puns! On a more serious note I thought the XBox 360 was a stupid name but grew to like it so maybe the same will happen here
I think some of you have been blinded by the fact the article mentions Microsoft, i.e. we must have a go at them! This is what console manufacturers do to reduce costs of their systems. How do you think Sony made the PSTwo, they sure as hell didn't put the original processor in it.

Slashdot Mirror
It was a shame that the draw system drew (I'm sorry!) attention from what was the most ambitious of the Playstation FFs. Still it was a stupid idea.

They downgraded it! I thought it was meant to be a supercomputer...

The parallel universe Slashdot. There, Apple is continuously bashed and Microsoft is praised for it's innovation
I can't believe Sony had the cheek to say their new controller is innovative! Ignoring the obvious comparisons with the wii controller, Microsoft released a sidewinder control pad for the PC years ago which had this functionality! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004Z729/103-96 55422-5521442?v=glance&n=172282

Very funny comment, truely worthy of recognition in the archives

"Halo obsessives"
On the PC? I know its available on the PC but it hardly spawned obessive PC fans. Nor is it a game associated with high end performance
You should see the UK prices of Oblivion. I was in a shop the other day and the PC version was £30 and the 360 version was £50!!!
I have no strong feelings one way or the other
I wish Slashdot would stop running all these unsubstaniated rumours about the PS3 dela... Oh wait!
P.s. Variety went down quick!
They should listen to Chuck Norris instead, he'll roundhouse kick them into shape!
Sounds like Sony's answer to Nintendogs!
Puts a whole new meaning to bottleneck!
Ubisoft should reply telling EA to stop running talented people into the ground and putting them off working in the industry
Thats commie talk that son...

I think you misspelled DRM
Do it
I think the price of the 360 is rather resonable actually. For example, here in the UK, an iPod http://www.play.com/play247.asp?page=title&r=ELEC& title=815355&p=322&g=420&pa=genbrw/ [play.com] is more expensive than the console http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=stts2&page=titl e&r=X360&title=659411 [play.com]. Granted its a top of the line iPod but then so is the 360.
...is to throw a chair!
