Well, considering that the USA is the largest and arguably most important market, this is indeed a big deal.

Developers are going to continue to want to bring great games to the Xbox 360. And that is what I (and other gamers) are interested in.

The Xbox 360 is the leader in the true-HD console market right now, without a doubt. And there is no reason that is going to change at all.

Good job MSFT, keep up the excellent job. View

@ 1.1 MURKERR

oh! I see what you did there. Very clever. Lets play "one of those things is not like the others, one of those things does not belong."

Metacritic Review scores:

uncharted 88/100
halo3 93/100
Bioshock 96/100
mario galaxy 97/100

You're point was "hey, these games dont deserve all those excellent reviews". The problem is that Uncharted's reviews werent as good as the others by a long stretch. Its incredibly ironic.

@1.4
That review was posted in the PS3 section.

@1.5
You're offtopic. Reported as such. Nice FUD though. View

All Beta's are free. Demos are free.

This is neither, it is part of MGS4, which you must pay for.

Take Random Game X, if Random Game X let you download a portion of the game *AFTER YOU PAID FOR IT*. Would you say it is "free"?

No. This isnt free. It is part of MGS4. Which you must pay for to play. View

If you buy MGS4, will you be able to play online for-ever, without having to buy access credits? Or without having to buy the latest "expansion" (which serves as an access fee)?

This 'starter pack' for online play sounds very very suspect.

Wouldnt it have been nice if someone would ask that when they had their all-expenses-paid preview-junket a couple weeks ago? View

"have a free betaof this once a lifetime game and u act like idiots"

#1) The Beta is not free. It is a pre-release Demo, and it is included when you BUY MGS4. Buy MGS4 != Free.
#2) "once in a lifetime"? Uhm, no. The MGS series has been good, but
for comparison purposes, the average-review for MGS 1/2/3 is less than Halo 1/2/3. So, if it is indeed "once in a lifetime" then what is Halo? Once in a two lifetimes?

Why dont you wait until someone has actually played MGS before you praise it as The Best Game Evar!!1!

Konami has a track record of broken online-games, and this MGO "starter pack" stuff is a bit suspect.

MGO sounds like a "pay to play" scheme to me. Which, is fine for me, I pay about $3.10 per month for LIVE and couldnt be happier, but it just sounds like Sony's about to show you PS3 owners how it intends to earn revenue for online games... View

MSN Live + Zune + Xbox + Xbox LIVE + Danger == Epic Win.

I hope this is what they are doing. Oh, and if the thing played my Xbox LIVE Arcade titles right out of the box.

Thanks, I'll take two. View

If this had happened in the USA, it would have been a much bigger pay out.

The sizes of compensation are enourmous here, and IMO, not justified. But it does seem like they got off very easy. View

Yeah, just a *little* overzealous.

XNA Game Studio has been out for some time. And, the XNA Community is going to publish games, directly from the producers themselves.

And, Indy developers are also working on XBLA. Its wrong to say "relies much more heavily on ports and the repackaging of existing titles"

Because we are getting *BOTH*. MS is publishing about 1.5 games per week, and they can be any classic, indy-developed new-IP, ports, existing IPs (like Catan for instance) and more.

The XBLA has games for *everyone* with a great deal of variety. Games for kids even.. View

This is a pretty interesting review, it focuses on the co-op aspects of the game. Its very interesting, and the review makes me think I may pick-up this title. View

@8.1

Sheesh. The guy said he's getting the game for Xbox 360. Of *course* he is.

A) The Xbox 360 controller is superior for games of this type (3d games).
B) The game has a multi-player component; Xbox LIVE is twice the size, and is better suited for online-gaming, community, friends managment and messaging.
C) The Xbox 360 is the only place where you can get the Exclusive Expansions. If you want to play the whole GTAIV (like most people did GTAIII by buying GTAIII:VC and GTAIII:SA expansions) -- then you want to get (at least) the OPTION of choosing to buy the expansions.

Pretending otherwise is just folly. View

MK_red and solar;

I concur w/r/t SMG. By nephews got a Wii for Xmass, so I thought "Oh, ill get them SMG, its supposed to be the best game of the year, and the best title on Wii".

I couldnt believe it. It was just more of the same. I felt like I was playing a N64 game, totally unoriginal.

And, to top it off, the two kids (boy of 8 and girl of 11) didnt like it at all, they just wanted to play Wii Sports.

They have a PS2 already, they play videogames, so its not like they didnt understand.

This year we're getting them an Xbox 360. View

"someone needed to kill off those rumors that the xbox version is inferior "

Uhm, no. We've been told that the colour are better on Xbox 360. And, knowing that you'll only get the whole GTAIV experience on Xbox 360 with the Exclusive Expansions, there isnt much debate. The Xbox 360 is superior.

Oh, and becuase LIVE makes PSN look like CompuServe, there really isnt any debate about this fact. View

I'm far more excited for APB w/r/t multi-player.

GotY contenders: Gears of War 2, Fable 2, Halo Wars, Alan Wake, MGS4, and Fallout 3. View

Reported as SPAM.

That said:
A) The Xbox 360 underwent major hardware revision in mid-2007 to fix the heat issue.
B) Every Xbox 360 owner gets a no-hassle, free repair.
C) You == EPIC FAIL. View

THE ONLY COMPARISON OF THE THREE CONSOLES BY NOISE OUTPUT:
1. Xbox 360 – on average least noisy, generally level noise output
2. PS3 – Not noisy at first, but fairly noisy once on for a short while
3. Wii – Virtually no noise… until you play a game and then the noisiest of the bunch

@sonarus:

You do realize home.. isnt released yet.

comes with trophies and achievements as well but they are called accomplishments.

Trophies are 3D icons representing achievements... was that "trophy" a "hard achievement"? Big deal. Some Achievements are 10pts, some 100pts -- you need the scale of your Achievement explained to you in a 3D model? Is 10pts < 100pts somehow complex for you?

Are you going to try and tell us that "Trophy-Accomplishments&a mp;q uot; are somehow superior to Achievements? There the same, except one gives you a 3D-icon instead of a 2D-icon (as happens with Achievements on Xbox 360). View

Yeah, no one bought GTAIII: Vice City or GTAIII: San Andreas. Yeah, your so correct... yep. No one cares about GTA expansions, nope.

@domultra.

You do know that GTAIII:VC and GTAIII:SA outsold GTAIII right? You know this dont you? That is why this is so baffling. The Exclusive Expansions are going to sell *extremely well* and deliver the only complete GTAIV experience to Xbox 360 owners.

What part of that dont you understand? When I'm playing the Exclusive Expansions, you'll be shopping at http://www.kleenex.com View
