If I didn't have a 360, I'd wait a bit longer for the $100 price cut and, most importantly, for all the faulty Xbox 360's on the market to clear out first.

RelloC6105d ago

"crappy price drop" - are you serious?? whether it was a $5 f'n coupon or a $200 reduction, it is still cheaper than it was. Or are you comparing it to the temporary price drop that sony has so nicely given to us?

mboojigga6105d ago

Are you comparing this price drop for a system that has been on the market for almost 2 years vs a system on the market less then a year that needed to a price drop? Yeah Okay

TR0N6105d ago

...because they are smart. a price drop is a price drop, no matter how small it is, it is still a true drop compared to what sony did which was just basically the old switcharoo. the ps3 prices are still $500 and $600 and by MS doing this they are essentially saying to Sony: "Its your move byatch"

the ps3(60GB)price cut force MS to drop the price of all the x360 SKUs.

A console is *supposed* to have a price cut at this time in its life cycle. In fact, 360 is overdue for a price cut. 360 is the console that has lasted the longest without having a price cut.

A product is not "supposed" to have a price cut

Price cuts usually occur based on
1) pressure from competition
2)liquidation of old product line to make way for new

DirtyRat6105d ago

If you buy a 360 now, you'll most likely get one which won't be faulty, but I agree the proce drop is pretty poor really, and Europe doesn't get it either which sucks considering the US price is already massively cheaper.

the_round_peg6105d ago (Edited 6105d ago )

The news story is here:

http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/...

Those leaked photos show an upcoming price cut in Europe. But the story is posted under a ridiculously obscure and irrelevant headline, and so no one has even noticed the news about a price cut in Europe.

sjappie6105d ago (Edited 6105d ago )

or a sale at Mediamarkt to get rid of the old 360 hardware. It also says one console per customer, wich is strange for an official price cut. But I hope they will drop the price in Europe so I can replace my premium with an elite, I hope for 400 euros.

Zhuk6105d ago

its better than nothing but more needs to be done to get this system cheaper in all territories, not just the United States

Odion6105d ago

its going to be cheaper in NA, and Europe, and Japan already has a price drop.

Look if the 20 dollar price cut of the Hd-DvD player can boost its sales by 1000% then this will do something.

Again though, it lasted longer then any other system without having a price drop.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B3h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21833h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh3h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia2h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins3h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

The first game was the best imo.
