He wants me, and everybody like me, to get the 360 by creating the illusion that there's a copasetic relationship between the Wii and 360 just because they're not made by Sony. However, just because I can get a Wii and 360 for roughly the price of a PS3 doesn't mean that I should buy an entire other console just because I haven't blown $600 on hardware.
Indeed. You could get two consoles for $600 but I'd prefer getting one, extra controllers, a memory card or whatever solid-state memory the Wii accepts, a few games. I'm sure most people will, too.
Outrage? I couldn't care less what with being a Wii-tard. I just think Sony's plan is too obvious.
1) Prop up absurd DRM scheme for the studios. 2) Deny implementing it during the adoption phase and wait for consumers to buy into the format. 3) Implement DRM scheme forcing consumers to upgrade their players or put up with a lowered resolution. 4) ??? 5) Profit (hopefully).
The $600 PS3 will have HDMI which makes sense because Sony has Blu-Ray drives on all PS3s. But wait! The $500 PS3 will not have HDMI so Sony's own format will not play to its specs (1080p) on Sony's own fucking Blu-Ray player.
Do yourself a favor and try either System Shock. The original has some wonky ass interface (that'd be PERFECT for the DS but alas) and that can be diffcult to get use to but the game is like no other. It was amazing in it's time (that prole-feed DOOM over shadowed it for some dumb ass reason) and is still amazing. Fuck uber-res/polycounts/texture sizes. They don't matter.
The Wii has flash storage, not your standard HDD. Beyond less worries of mechanical failure, this says to me long term storage (NES, SNES, N64, Genesis, etc. roms; not game updates, patches, or saves).
I asked for a PlayStation. My mom got me a N64 with Diddy Kong Racing. I haven't looked back yet. (It did, though, that I got Turok 2 some time later.)
People bitched and moaned when Nintendo left it out of the Gamecube but by then everyone seemed to have one or a PS2 thus there was no point in upping the price and/or manufacturing/licensing costs. Same thing with the Wii. No DVD playback? So what?
Unless Sony stops making DVD entirely and makes all new movie under their media arm only in Blu-Ray format, I just can't see this taking off.
Now back to the X360, they're going the way of Nintendo, letting the market choose if they want a new format and, if so, which one. If HD-DVD comes out on top and players are $500, people might be inclined to just get a $200 addon.
Um, if we give them money for 360s, we're offsetting the manufacturing costs and, thus, saving MS money. But you're close. We just have to buy enough to trick them into making a lot of consoles quickly only to see demand fizzle.
Certainly not the same people who read about it when it was to be on the Playstation formerly abreviated as PSX. I was just using it as an example of a game not too far from the present that has some urban enviroments.
One thing I could put up with would be reduced priced games. Something like Too Human (with appropriate ads and appropriately textured ads at that to at least fit the gameworld) but at 50% or even 20% the price of regular 360 games. Ever online and it'll update the ads to keep with the times.
Nikes? None. Walmart? Never. Sony? A pair of $8 headphones a year or two ago. CDs/DVDs? Last CD I got was Smash Mouth (l'old). Last DVD I got was Grave of the Fireflies (a gift).
For shame. EA buys Westwood, guts the company and the IP, slaps Command & Conquer on an unrelated RTS, and resells the best damn games ever with the developer labeled as EA LA.

Christ on a cross, why isn't this modded up?

Are you dissing Pokemon Snap?
This happened to me.

Maybe they're saving that one for an April Fools joke.
Yah but who wants an HD-DVD player?

Man (or Woman)... If I had not commented in this thread, I'd mod you "interesting."
PAPERS PLEASE
Clearly, he was doing a practice terrorist run. Duh.
...Nintendo's conference, it's revealed that the Sony's was fake and that they'd be doing whatever Nintendo said they would be doing.

At least people will get their money's worth of materials.

Fucking bullshit.[/rant]
Wasn't he going into playground designing? I could have sworn reading somewhere he wasn't making (or at least planning) any other games.
