I own all the gaming consoles - but I feel from a straight up - fun games standpoint the Wii is the best of the three.

Deal with it

I expect value for my $60 and I'm not going to drop money for a game that hasn't launched and they're already talking about dlc.

The consumer is ultimately responsible for the poor state of the early 360's. The 360 needed plenty of ventilation and required a much bigger case but who would buy a console the size of a modest bookshelf? The current slim gen of the 360 is the console it should always have been but the technology was not able to make it available without driving the cost up exponentially; which the average consumer wouldn't tolerate.

Microsoft charge for a premium service, you get plenty of bang for your buck and from my experience a more stable service than PSN.
Microsoft aren't responsible for developers choosing the gamer to host their own multiplayer games.
Microsoft aren't responsible for Activision charging silly money for their games and how often they release DLC.
Microsoft aren't responsible for YOU buying your children games. I'm curious to know if your son is even old enough to be playing CoD games, in which case, you're at fault again.

They way you see it is skewed, deal with it.

So you are saying that its ok to sell something that doesnt work as intended if the price is acceptable? and its not even the size of the case thats the issue. how much do you think using better thermal paste would cost? how about adding a couple of 60mm intake fans at the front of the case? or making adjusments to the heatsinks and shroud system? what about using a better system then the flimsy x-clamps? thats gonna drive the cost up exponentially is it?

At no point in my post did I say it was acceptable. You're talking about using archaic methods to improve the ventilation. The size of the case isn't the issue? How do you plan on fitting these myriad extra fans you want to ram in there without doubling the size of the case? You can talk about improving the heatsinks and what not all you like, but even the best thermal paste in the world isn't going to help when there's no where for the air to go. The problem is that it produced too much heat and couldn't cope.

whats the premium service if you dont mind my asking? name one thing that the xbox does on its live gold subscription that i cant do on my pc for free.

Well you can always look that up on the website, I'm not going to try and sell it to you. At the end of the day, Microsoft sell the console at a loss (and pretty cheap compared to even the budget PS3) and try to make it back on the subscription service. You don't have to use the Gold service and if you don't plan on going on multiplayer games anyway, it's no loss. If you do, you pay the fee. Don't like, buy a PS3.

Your missing the point on the servers, if microsoft are charging you to play online, then they should be providing servers. what they are doing is charging the gamer money and providing nothing of value for the price.

Well, not really. They're putting a value on multiplayer access and the gamer is paying for it, you can argue whether that's right or wrong all day but it's not going to change anything. End of the day, if you don't like Microsoft's rules, you don't have to buy their console.

i know microsoft arent responsible for what anyone charges for their games, and you missed the point again there. im saying that when dlc and whatnot is only available via a live gold account, it points towards companies being offered rewards to make sure people continue to pay their live subscriptions, or are forced to sign up if they want a certain DLC package.

You don't need a Gold account to purchase DLC. Presumably if you're buying DLC for a multiplayer game, you've already got Gold any way. I'm not buying this weird conspiracy theory though. Developers release DLC to fill their own pockets...

you obviously didnt read my post properly, because i dont have any children. Therefor im not even going to respond to the final part of your post.

Oh, so I did. What would you prefer then? Psuedo-son-in-law? Son in kind? Either way, I'll take that as me being right on both counts.

Gaming's maturity as an art form is going to mean that it's going to have to stop over-catering to 15-35 year old white men, and that's going to piss a lot of the current 'gamer' market off. It means less AAA blockbusters, more casual games, and a smaller percentage of games that will personally interest you.

This is a good thing.

Deal with it.

 

[Life_Is_A_Mess]

CoD is a series of generic shooters like any other before them.

Deal with it.

Minecraft is awesome.

Deal with it.

Even though my pc is filled with new generation games, I play games from 1995 on it.

Deal with it.

Medal of Honor had its shot at the holy cow of greatness and milked it to death.

Deal with it.

Microsoft Live is evil.

Deal with it (actually, I think more people agree with me on this...).

People should have a certificate to prove they are mature enough to play certain online games.

Deal with it.

Wii and its accessories are completly overpriced, and most of the games suck, or are copies of each other.

Deal with it.

The race torwards the best graphics engine is stupid.

Deal with it.






...This post made me feel good.

Deal with it! xD

Halo 2 was da best.

I only like to play FPS games on consoles.
Consoles need more RTS games.
I didn't cry when aeris died in FF7 but everytime a pikmin died so did a part of me.

Deal with it.

Diablo 2 was the greatest game ever, and Torchlight sucked.
World at War is still the best Call of Duty game.

Deal with it.

 

[Jason Danger Keyes]

I won't play any of the games I loved as a child ever again, because I know that without the nostalgia blinding my hindsight they won't live up to today's standards and it will ruin my fond memories of them. That means Ocarina of Time, Deus Ex, Command and Conquer, Mario, and many others.

Deal with it.

Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas are better games than their archaic prequels.

Fallout New Vegas is better than fallout 3 and is negliglibly more buggier than Fallout 3 was at release. Deal with it.

I LOVE the Kingdom Hearts series.
I think Kairi has the potential to kick some Ass.
I really didn't like the third generation Pokemon that much.

Just, Deal with it.

I dont like to make assumptions, but im starting to get the feeling that you dont know what you are talking about.

If they are archaic methods then why are they in use on 95% of all consumer graphics cards and processors as stock?

As for the "myriad" extra fans:

As you can quite clearly see, the only modification to the case is the fan hole, no increase in size.

Other then that, im working on a mod today to add a fan to the side of the case, powered by usb and needing no case modifications whatsoever.
True, its on the outside of the case, but i would hardly call a one and a quater cm depth fan "doubling the size of the case"
Granted, it would mean when the fan is in use you wouldnt be able to stand the xbox on its side, but unfortunately i am confined to working with what microsoft have given me.
Quite happy to provide pictures of the work if you so require.

And how can you argue that good thermal paste wont help when it has been proven in tests to reduce a chips operating temp by a few degree's? a few degree's may not be much but when combined with improved airflow could have been the difference between a red ringed box and a healthy box.

And yes, it does produce too much heat, hence the need for all the methods of dissapating heat i outlined in my other post.

whats the premium service if you dont mind my asking? name one thing that the xbox does on its live gold subscription that i cant do on my pc for free.

Well you can always look that up on the website, I'm not going to try and sell it to you.

You don't have to use the Gold service and if you don't plan on going on multiplayer games anyway, it's no loss. If you do, you pay the fee. Don't like, buy a PS3.

It doesnt matter why they are selling the live service, what matters is that you are paying for a service that is free on every other platform.

Your missing the point on the servers, if microsoft are charging you to play online, then they should be providing servers. what they are doing is charging the gamer money and providing nothing of value for the price.

Well, not really. They're putting a value on multiplayer access and the gamer is paying for it, you can argue whether that's right or wrong all day but it's not going to change anything. End of the day, if you don't like Microsoft's rules, you don't have to buy their console.

Yeah, multiplayer access that you are hosting on your existing paid for internet connection.
And its not right, you are essentially paying for nothing.

i know microsoft arent responsible for what anyone charges for their games, and you missed the point again there. im saying that when dlc and whatnot is only available via a live gold account, it points towards companies being offered rewards to make sure people continue to pay their live subscriptions, or are forced to sign up if they want a certain DLC package.

So you acknowledge that microsoft are selling the xbox at a loss, and in your own words they are trying to make the loss back from the subscription fees, yet you cant accept that there is a possibility that microsoft are offering some sort of incentive for game developers adding mechanics to their games that would encourage people to continue to pay, or sign up for, a gold account?
You think its a conspiricy theory that large companies reliant on each others technology might find some mutually benifical way of generating more finacial income?? lol.

you obviously didnt read my post properly, because i dont have any children. Therefor im not even going to respond to the final part of your post.

Oh, so I did. What would you prefer then? Psuedo-son-in-law? Son in kind? Either way, I'll take that as me being right on both counts.

Im not going to get in to an argument about parenting. if you tell me that you have children of your own, or you have been in a serious relationship with someone who has, then i will be more inclined to discuss the matter.
