www.gamersreports.com reports that Microsoft Australia has told a store named Myer to prepare the store for a Black 360 with a 120GB hard drive in April. The black Xbox 360 is due out in Australia for $749 AU in April. They will try to push this forward to late March to deter buyers from the March 23 PS3 launch.
The Nerd Stash: "Developed by Treyarch Studios, Call of Duty: Black Ops games are some of the best in the series in terms of gameplay, story, and -- of course -- Zombies."
BLG writes, "Do you ever get that feeling after you’ve finished a game that you just wish there was more? Or do you spend years hoping and praying for a sequel that never comes?
This list compiles some of the top games we desperately want to get a sequel. Please give us more of our favorite games!"
Would love to see a sequel to the 7th gen FPS campaign SINGULARITY from RAVEN Software..
GL: "Staff writer Shaz reflects on his small library of physical games he's kept throughout the decades, and how a recent move made him nostalgic."
I lost my drive for collecting physical games due to many discs lacking the whole complete game. Instead, of collecting games I started collected figurines.
I am a collector have a room dedicated with a couple original arcade cabinets, physical game library, old and new consoles and controllers backlit with LED lighting. It’s very cool to have but with emulation being so strong and prevalent, I sometimes feel foolish because the hobby is expensive and like another said, the full game is not always on the disc. Could probably spend more wisely but I enjoy it.
Most games are usually on disc still. Of course you got you publishers that are hit and miss, Activision, ubisoft, ea, Microsoft, where the rest of the game needs downloaded.
I'll buy it, but wondering if it will have a HD DVD Drive built in it, then for sure............
$749? Is that more or less than PS3 is selling for in that country? I don't see how they intend to draw people away by introducing a more expensive console. Also if Microsoft is introducing a better version they should sponsor some sort of trade in deal for early adopters who will now own obsolete hardware.
Everybody keeps doggin the ps3 but what about MS. They keep coming out with new 360s every year almost. This only justifes my ps3 purchase because its obvious MS is trying to keep up with Sony. At least Sony put everything in the ps3 from the beginning whether you need it or not. I thought MS said HDMI wasn't important, now they'll have it. What do all you ps3 bashers have to say now that MS is going to slight their 10 million fanbase with a new system? Now its another $400(maybe more)..plus what ever new add-ons they'll have.(you know they're coming) It has to sting just a little...No?
current 360 models only output in Analog, which is why it doesn't support DVI or HDMI. It's the reason that Microsoft has been experimenting with HDMI output in the first place. If it was truly possible with their current output, they wouldn't bother making a brand new console.
What confuses a lot of people is that Microsoft refers to their AV port as the 'Digital Output'. That, and some people don't know that VGA is an analog feed, not digital feed.
"An adapted HDMI cable is possible, so nothing becomes obsolete as current 360s can be upgraded if MS choses to do so." The console's been on the market for nearly 15 months. Do you really believe that they simply chose not to sell DVI/HDMI cables for their console when nearly every HDTV supports it? Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft releases this 3rd SKU, which blatantly shares a lot of aspects of the Playstation 3. Large hard drive capacity, HDMI output, built-in HD Movie drive (though not for games...yet), sleek black color.
The question is whether Microsoft feels cornered enough to risk releasing it. If they go through with it the whole thing could backfire and the media would have a field day.
IF True: I think this is another big F%^$& our fans from Microsoft !
IF False: Then for god sakes atleast drop the 120GB HDD !
