Marks & Spencers have taken the decision to not stock the Xbox 360 because of its 'poor reliability.'
In an effort to gain market share in this new market for them they are offering a free 2 year guarantee on ALL their technology products. However after examining the reliability of the Xbox 360 and the widely reported number of returns they felt they would not be able to offer this service for the console.
Marks & Spencers are currently stocking Sony PlayStation 3 and the PSP. A spokesman said they are looking forward to stocking the Nintendo DS and Wii when Nintendo are able to guarantee a consistent stock supply.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
Their loss
That's what you get for rushing to market. I remember pathetic arguments saying MS didn't rush at all. Well, looks like Xbots were wrong again.
What an amazing turnaround in mindshare at the very least. Let's see if this translates into more sales for Sony, because it sure as hell translated into plummeting Xbox 360 sales.
Out of the box not only does it offer a headset and HD cables 9 (premium version) it also does soo much more than what the PS3 can do for the FULL HD and gaming experience offline and online.
M&S is the last place I would ever buy this amazing product.
this could mean a decline in xbox sales. I mean as a consumer even if i get 3yrs free warranty a 33% chance of failure is just too much of a risk for me. I am pretty sure other retailers refused to stock them or at least threatened because if i buy a 360 from lets say target and it breaks it not only makes msoft look bad but target too. This am sure is the real reason behind that 3 yr warranty. If not msoft will still be brushing it aside as nothing. However there is nothing they can do about it now and msoft is taking the necessary steps to improve.
whatever
the 360 is cool
M&S will be at a loss in the future...
in the meantime.. get one from wallmart, game stop, kmart, are any other video game or electronics retailer... their losss
