Blaze9295317d ago

inb4 the non-xbox owners saying "microsoft is ripping off the consumers" like they really care about what microsoft does...comments.

xenogamer5317d ago

its true... clears throat... MICROSOFT RIPS YOU OFF!! HURR DURR DURR... its no surprise.

Reibooi5317d ago

Kinda annoying i have to choose between a cord running across my room or a 100 dollar wireless rip off.

Eddie201015317d ago

Yay that they are making a new WI-FI adapter, Nay that it is at least twice the price it should be. Only Xbox 360 fanboys would get so excited by being financially raped by Microsoft and there overpriced accessories.

deadreckoning6665317d ago

This is a HUGE ripoff. The only reason M$ does it is because they know people are dumb enough to buy it. Businesswise its a smart move, but I won't be buying a 360 anytime soon.

Tarasque5317d ago (Edited 5317d ago )

It is called a CAT5 cable and how about you run it properly.

And to the idiot above me, then WTF are you doing in this article chap. MS is a ripoff, and i am not buying a 360 anytime soon. But for some reason i had drool coming out of my mouth and i started banging my head on the keyboard and i ended up posting in a 360 article which i don't own or intend on buying. Ok i will wave to you as you pass by on the short bus.

@Tarasque

How about you not comment when you have no idea how my set up is. I currently use a Ethernet cable however it needs to be run pretty much in the middle of the room. Reason being my house has Heaters connected to the walls so running it along the wall as many would do would cause wire failure and danger or fire which is a pointless. Think before you comment next time.

Jesus, $100, that's about 3 times the price of a 801.11n PC dongle.

Hercules5317d ago

BulletToothtony5317d ago

the connection should be extremely faster thru a bridge.. plus cheaper

Hercules5317d ago

KingKionic 5317d ago

Of course they will .

lol

Imagine looking at both of them on a shelf for 100$ .

:D

PotNoodle5317d ago

The other one is going to be $80 i think, i'm sure they said that on engadge.

snake_eater5317d ago (Edited 5317d ago )

1. It looks ridiculous on the back of the crashbox 360, looks more like an alien spaceship.
2. Clearly overpriced only bots cant realise that.

xbox arcade + 120 gb + wireless adaptor = +400$

PS3 has all that (minus n networking) plus a blue ray drive for just 299$. Bots getting raped again.

DK_Kithuni_715317d ago

nothing but trash. What a scam.

fishd5317d ago

Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX

This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

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."

ChasterMies1d 17h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken1d 12h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing692d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker2d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing692d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt1d 15h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken1d 12h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos2d ago

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

Tacoboto2d ago

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?

banger882d ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies1d 22h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
