Just think about the $$$ your paying annually, that`ll give you enough.

PS3- Free Themes, Free Online, Mods Allowed
PC - Free Themes (obviously), Free Online, Mods Allowed
360- Payed Themes, Payed Online, No Mods

You figure it out.

RAF-TECH5639d ago

the layout for the PS3 xmb is pretty boring and flat.

kharma455639d ago (Edited 5639d ago )

The XMB is pretty logical though.

solidjun55639d ago

I thought the blades were terrible. The update gets rid of that. The XMB in my view is cool and simple.

INehalemEXI5639d ago (Edited 5639d ago )

I made my own theme with like 9 HD backgrounds of my lady friend and ripped some sick icons off of someone elses theme. The end result was full of win.So the layout of the XMB im seeing is sleek and sexy...

NXE is great IMO. Hopefully they expand upon it in the future which is likely.

ApocalypseShadow5639d ago

simple and to the point HD.you left me with almost nothing to say.

free
free
......no free

apocalypse..................

NowGen5639d ago

free themes? thats a god dam lie. sony charges for what they call premium themes. so get it right. dont act like psn is immune to the dlc charging problem.

iHEARTboobs5639d ago

There's already two threads on here about NXE bringing issues with it (freezing and RROD) and another regarding slower loading speeds when you install certain games (like Halo 3).

But i guess that's just bad karma for those laughing at Sony when their firmware update was a little glitchy. A little lesson to us all. Just be humble and play your games.

Bnet3435639d ago

You get free themes on Xbox Live and if you do not like, you can set any picture on your PC as the background. Why do you lie? oh wait .. thats right ...

jadenkorri5639d ago

provide some links to these so called paid for themes for psn, like the live ones

elorm95639d ago

There are paid themes on the PSN, just not as much on XBL though

NowGen5638d ago

if you didnt know that psn had themes you had to pay to get, then you must not own a ps3 anyway, so shut up.

Or maybe a desperate attempt at generating traffic through flame-bait,either one works

wardrox5639d ago

Shut up! Don't reveal my secret!

Fine, I'll go back to selling fake Paris Hilton porn films T_T

Raoh5639d ago (Edited 5639d ago )

the list left out reports that top games like gears and halo 3 actually load longer and have frame rate drops when installed

before i get the disagrees and hate mail

here is the word straight from bungie

Bungie Acknowledges Halo 3 NXE Install Issues
http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/...

SixZeroFour5639d ago

whether that may be true or not...i wonder why they WOULD leave something like that out of the list

hmmm...could it be because it is a list of ways to SUCCESSFULLY DEFEND the NXE? how could you be defending the NXE if you point that out... *sigh*

Raoh5639d ago

easy.. its something that will be mentioned and brought up. so they need a number 6 to defend that issue.

also add the new reports of RROD after NXE installs followed by 3 year warranties being over for early adopters of the 360.

GiantEnemyCrab5639d ago

I can verify Gears 2 runs better off of HDD. While Halo might have an issue that is the only game that has been verified and MS has said all along that it won't benefit all games.

Stop spreading FUD.

Spike475639d ago

Some article is popping up about NXE causing RROD, some of you may want to try and be the first ones to post to defend NXE, or maybe it's too late. ;)

Halo 4 UNSC Weapons, Vehicles, And Mechs

We've previously seen what we can take off the Prometheans, but what will Master Chief's backup be bringing to the fight in Halo 4?
Quite a lot of old favorites, as well as some new vehicles and an old enemy.

Spartan 1 program was somewhat Mech like..so bout time :P

Wow though, they look so much like Metal gears. Or gekkos

aviator1894232d ago

I know there were going to be mechs for a while, but seeing it actually shoot at that ship is so awesome.

2012: COD Black Ops 2, A New Xbox & More

360 Magazine: Call Of Duty Black Ops 2, the XBox 720, the end of the console as we know it and crucial future gaming developments.

You mean 'Activision Presents: Man With Gun 2012, Starring Denzel Washington'.

Also, the new Xbox will be called the Ybox. You heard it here first.

jimmins4534d ago

More like Activision presents: one long cut-scene in which 'press X for controversial torture' comes up intermittently.

Biglet4534d ago

I expect Reservoir Dogs next time.

Skip_Bayless4534d ago

This is about Mass Effect 3. I always liked the series for its technical side and the dialogue trees. I never really liked the setting, the story, or the characters.

Other than the snow level in Mass Effect 1 and Wrex there's no memorable things really. Mass Effect 3 is going to be out on maxed out consoles so no technical or graphical leap there. Count me out on this game.

This being said Mass Effect 1 is a top 10 game this generation.

_Aarix_4534d ago

if that were true the xbox 360 would be Y box and the next generation xbox would be Z box.

DaveX3604534d ago

But what would the one after that be called?

irepbtown4534d ago

They probably think the world will end after that.
I mean, Lynx have made a 'end of the world'edition deodorant.

When we are here 2013 all and well, i'll be playing some GTA V.

joab7774534d ago (Edited 4534d ago )

They should go straight for inox or soon there will only b one console that's more powerful than any PC and it will b made by apple. It will incorporate everything apple and they will rule the world. So its better to simply release the Ibox and prevent future world domination.

As far as cod and black ops r concerned, it will sell 10 million copies on day 1, 8 million paid for by r government as unemployment will b 14%. There wont b a new console in 2012 because activision says so. They aren't done yet and until they r forced to use some ingenuity, expect the status quo. Why invest more $ right now if ppl will fork over their last penny to u for a rehash. So, as cod goes, so goes consoles and PC's as they will b held back.

Star wars will release and sell many copies just like battlefield did, but everyone will return to wow because activision obviously has the best games and the most talented warlocks casting spells on their products. Ppl wont know why but swtor just wont feel right. Everyone will say that its a better game and its fresh and many hardcore players will b converted but the masses will nitpick things like hotkeys and menu animations to declare wow as the enduring king of mmorpgs...and then the next expansion will release and swtor will go free to play.

On November 3rd we will wake to see if we get 4 more years of misery or a Republican (what a choice...no hope or maybe some actual hope with alot of immediate suffering). But to r surprise, we will c that Bobby kotick is president and EA is under federal investigation. And then 7 days later...the cod cycle begins again.

It starts over...

funny article
all i read was the first part where it says

1.January 2012
Industry analyst Michael Pachter says that another Call Of Duty game will be announced this year and that it will sell “lots of copies”. He also states with unsual specificity that an asteroid 100Km wide at its thickest point will veer from its predicted trajectory and on 12 December at 0043:29, it will smash into the South Pacific Ocean near Easter Island and cause the extinction of nearly all species on Earth, including 98% of the human population.

i was like what?

caseh4534d ago

Personally I like Pachter's CoD predictions, its the only f*cking thing he seems to get right. :D

CarlosX3604533d ago

Um. I'm like "Doh!" Of course they'll make a new call of duty game next year. It's already codenamed Iron Wolf.

Berserk4534d ago

Man imagine the sales... New xbox bundled with Black ops 2.

DARK WITNESS4534d ago (Edited 4534d ago )

We already got Black ops 2, it's MW3.. oh wait no, sorry.

To be honest though, my pet parrot Baba could have predicted that.

ZippyZapper4534d ago

Doesn't Black Ops take place during Vietnam? That isn't exactly what I would call modern warefare since it's 40 years old.

DARK WITNESS4534d ago

@ ZippyZapper

lol, I think you are taking my comment to seriously.

CarlosX3604533d ago (Edited 4533d ago )

I don't believe the next Call of Duty game will be called "Black Ops 2." Treyarch has a habit of changing names with their games.

World At War and Black Ops are different names. Iron Wolf may be a code name, but I believe the next game in the series will be different.

Aloren4533d ago

World at War didn't sell like black ops did. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to capitalize on the "Black ops" name.

Extraordinary Rendition DLC, innit.

Wikkid6664534d ago

I actually laughed quit a few times... very amusing.

MidnytRain4534d ago

That's right, this IS the ninth CoD isn't it...

I wonder how long they can keep this up.

SnipeySnake4534d ago

Till people start using their brains....

IaMs124534d ago

Well, we'll be seeing a lot more COD then....

AmaZinG4534d ago

Actually Black Ops had more innovation than Mw3, altough i like Mw series gameplay, maps and guns better i have to admit when it comes to innnovation Treyarch is winning the fight over IW. The emblems customization, the weapons customization and alot more were awesome additions to Cod that IW didnt put in Mw3... I wonder why

Dailynch4534d ago

Black Ops' campaign really wasn't that good. The original Modern Warfare is still the best, by far.

PetitPiPi4534d ago

MW3's campaign kills the original MW. Have you played it? Probably not. smh.

Majin-vegeta4534d ago

@petitpipi

No it doesn't MW3 story is a joke cod4 story is still by far the best MW story.

lsujester4534d ago

MW3's campaign doesn't kill anything, unless you bought the game for SP, then you probably killed yourself.

PetitPiPi4534d ago (Edited 4534d ago )

@ Isujester

I bought the game for SP, MP & Spec Ops. Why else would I buy the game? What a stupid comment on your part.

@ Vag

MW3's story is a joke? And you call yourself a gamer? lmao! PLEASE send me over your GT or PSN id. I need to see the games you've played.

Laxman4533d ago

MW is the best MW game, but CoD 2 is the best CoD.

jdfoster4534d ago

I agree 100%. Though arn't you sick of buying a game with no new modes in at all (multiplayer wise) BLOPS had no new game modes in competitive multiplayer and mw3 only had 3 new ones!! But I agree with the innovation side and I enjoy the maps more in IW games but I do hate the maps in MW3! I do... i try and enjoy them but I can't. I liked the crisp, clean look of cod 4 and mw2 maps to the look and feel of mw3. I also loved every map in cod 5! But hated every map in BLOPS!

DARK WITNESS4534d ago

I am not really defending Blops of poo, I hate the game, but I am sure it had 1 or 2 new game modes.

You had the one were you start with a single weapon and every time you kill someone it would randomly change to something else.. or something like that.

I took blops back to the shop after about 4 weeks or so, so thats why I can hardly remember it but I know it had one or two new modes.

Grendizer4533d ago

cod4:MW has been,currently is, and will probably always be my favorite cod game

even to this day i go on and play it every now and then.
