Duplicate story.
The same people are arguing the same points they did last week when this story originally came up.

Lame submission and lame people who continue fighting about it for almost a week. View

@1.4
Who cares how many people it would have fed? The money involved in this equation has zip to do with starving people. The money involved belongs to the companies who earned it, thus can, and should be spent however they want. Obviously you still don't get the full idea.

Do you think MS paid to get their game plastered all over a pontiac? No. Considering these companies have full time attorneys, not retained attorneys, then that doesn't even factor in. Please stick to talking about what you know. I'm not insulting you or calling you stupid, but regarding this field, you are ignorant of the moving parts and players. Please don't continue to spit out incorrect and unconnected theories and points of view.

The Halo 3 game benefited from this exposure. Do you think every gamer spends their free time online researching games? No. It's a new world with casual gamers who need these games put in their faces. You are ONLY looking at it from your point of view. You need to broaden your thinking when you think in marketing terms. You're not appealing to one type of person. You're marketing this game for those in he know and those that may only catch a glimpse of it on another product.

I beg you to do a little research on marketing before you respond again. View

WOW!!!
That's hilarious!. That's like saying Toyota, Honda, Ford, GM, and Chrysler combine to dominate car sales.

How many people even make Blu Ray players? lmfao.

lmfao. I LOVE IT!
I have to come and read this stuff every now and then.

You say Sony wins every format war? In the same paragraph, you mention a certain format called VHS. You do know that format beat the Sony format right? Sony created Beta, not VHS. Beta was more expensive and lost.

Do you remember a format called mini disc?

Let's see how many disagrees I get for stating facts. View

@1.1 - Take a marketing course
It's not "how many people bought the game because of dew". It's "how many people bought dew because it had halo on it".

How many people went to BK just to get a Halo cup?

And so on.

This is called cross marketing. MS didn't pay for all that. It's co-op marketing that benefits both parties. MS got free exposure and the products sold more. Simple as that. View

The linear thought of a fanboy...
Amazing that you compare them by today's standards. To compare the sales of the Game Gear and PSP is like comparing the gross income of Casablanca and Transformers. It's different eras with different levels of distribution, price, and more. So to save myself any further aggravation, I'll just stop there. Your response was a joke. Sadly, I doubt you intended it to be.

Have fun at the classic gaming convention scrounging for home brew games on your obsolete handheld that is drowning at retail just like the PS3. lol (Let the disagrees proceed) View

PSP = Game Gear
Both were (and are) nice hand-helds, but neither one has (or had) a shot at beating the GameBoy line of hand-helds.

Personally, it aggravates me that the Game Gear was superior all the way up until the GBA SP. And people think Sony is gonna come along and the PSP will succeed somehow almost 4 years after launch? lol

Death toll:
Game Gear
Wonder Swan
Lynx
Neo Geo pocket
and more
soon - PSP View

That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. What drive are you playing the games on then? Please answer that question. View

Windows "forced" on people?
How is an operating system forced on anyone. If you have a computer operating system "forced" on you, then you're an idiot.

The guy's example of a PS3 forcing Blu Ray is COMPLETELY different from a computer. If you buy a PS3, you HAVE to get a Blu ray player, because it's in EVERY console. You think Windows is on EVERY pc? Pure genius. View

Why are people buying stand-alone blu ray players?
The fact is, both "consoles" are great. But the formats (which are for movies) are both pointless. Blu ray is great for delivering extra room to make bigger games, but the consumer has spoken and they're happy with DVD movies until a true next format is delivered.

Projectors - lasted a long time

VHS - lasted a long time

DVD - still has some time left

It'll be a while before a "real" new movie format is established. It's neither of the two that fools are buying today. View

This is all a waste..
Which ever system you prefer, just ignore the silly ,movie format war. They're both going to lose anyways. Neither Blu Ray, nor HD DVD will be around in a few years. That doesn't mean the PS3 will suffer as it'll still have a nice format to supply large games on. View

LOL, the beauty is...

Exactly...
I don't think people who find this an injustice are really thinking about it that way. You can't use your freedoms to take away other's freedoms or harm them. Once you do that, you surrender your own rights. View

Ok, say it's "new" news, but
Do you approve this one that was posted after the other one? I'll go along with everyone saying it's suddenly new despite the images being a month old, but isn't it a duplicate then if there's another story 4 spaces down in pending?

Still want to know why two different sites suddenly have the exact same story regarding month old news. The nosey part of me wonders who copied who. View

I understand
MK Red kinda tricked you by posting them as a new tip. Please check the game index next time. Don't want to see another good contributor go the way of Rowland and Rounded Peg and just double post all day for numbers. But I understand the mistake. View

Ok, I've been criticized for being too harsh, but..
This is the start that irks me. I'll be nice though. Nothing you just said made any sense. Not being mean, just saying:

1. WTF would the fps have to do with a screen shot when no matter if it's running at 1 fps or 120 fps, you're going to see a still shot without blur. I'm telling you this as fact, not to be mean.

2. Why would a distributor be taking screens? Publishers don't even take screens. They request them. Distributors are more often than not middle men who buy from publishers and sell to retailers.

I don't think I was rude, at least I hope I explained that clearly since whenever I correct someone I lose a bubble and get reported. View
