Really? I don't feel like getting into an argument about online or Blu Ray, I wouldn't pay for Party chat, and I can see a clear and obvious improvement in Blu Ray. But exclusives? Of late the 360 exclusives have amounted to Gears of War, Alan Wake and Halo: Reach. Compare that to Uncharted, Heavy Rain, Infamous, Demon Souls, Resistance, Motorstorm and Little Big Planet and things look grim. Throw in that Alan Wake is unlikely to form any kind of long standing relationship and Bungie have gone multiplatform and the only exclusive of any kind the 360 is ever likely to have is Gears of War.squid5580 said:

360 Super? Personally I prefer the 360 Squat.Eldritch Warlord said:
That has literally nothing at all to do with Angerwing's post. If anything, it's more like you being able to buy a Pagani Zonda for a fraction that an Australian could. And just to make it clear, we don't have it nearly as bad as some other countries.Xiorell said:
If we're talking about an 'average joe' I don't think there's any more benefit in having an extra 130gb of disk space. I'm still only at around 70/120gb on my 360 elite and 50/80gb on my PS3, and I'm a pretty heavy gamer.Rack said:
I'd say that with this thread hitting 3 pages and people debating the issue quite strongly, it was worth posting the story, if for no other reason than helping the forums stay lively.
It's not a troll, it's just an opinion, if a rather obvious one.
Also, to be fair, if you say something obvious as a spokesman, you're an unimaginative idiot, if you say something unexpected, you're a nutcase with his head in the clouds.
In future, remembering that they'd love to move over to digitial distribution to cut down on piracy, they'll need to remember that we're buying games and the storage, if they screw us on the storage, we'll not be able to buy so much in the way of games and movies and other content.

I still think all console companies vastly overprice their storage. You know it's still over £10 for a 8MB PS2 memory card? WQhen I can pick up a 1000GB external drive for £50, I don't expect to have to pay more than that for a 60GB 360 HDD. Honestly, 320gb HDDs are selling for like £30 now, and that's retail, does the 250gb Xbox really need to cost £100 more than the old Arcade model?mrmash said:

ORLY??? Have you thought about looking into the non super popular exclusives? Sniper: Ghost Warrior, Deadly premonition and that is off the top of my head before I have had my coffee yet. You could at least try to do a bit of research before spouting such fanboyish nonsense.Rack said:
That's pretty desperate, S:GW isn't even an exclusive and never mind "super-popular" both titles were extremely poorly received critically and commercially. Deadly Premonition may be divisive enough that a limited number of people would consider it a bonus to owning a 360 but nowhere near the scale of the more major releases. I'm surprised Limbo wasn't more top of mind for you but regardless none of these are really titles that will sway the decision of any significant number of people. For a consistent perception of value the 360 simply has to be significantly cheaper than the PS3.squid5580 said:
Ya Limbo is off my radar since some JACKASS here blew the fucking end for me. You also forgot the $30 mic that comes free with the 360. And I was refering to the list of titles you gave not mine. 360 has a few exclusives that flew right under the radar. At the end of the day both have a few good exclusives that can sway someone either way but I don't see how you can say the 360 needs to be cheaper when most multiplat games run better on the 360. And lets face it the multiplat games are really where it is at. Killzone or Halo can't compete against COD. Even with Activision trying to make gamers take it dry.Rack said:
Illegal? Well it worked damn well when it wasnt.. Microsoft and they're 85 billion dollar industry should at least fund some research in some real durable solder with at least 85% efficiency of the frowned-upon lead based variant. If they did that in the beginning they wouldnt be out over a billion dollars in theyre game sub-division.RvLeshrac said:
You're pissed because THE ENTIRE ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY, not just MS, has moved away from a material that causes birth defects, low IQ, all sorts of stuff? Wow. I mean, really, wow. Tin whiskers hasn't ever been the reported problem in the XBoxen anyhow (whiskers cause shorts, not heat issues, and good flux solves the "wetness" issue mostly), so, again, why are you picking lead-free solder to get all mad about?Silent Eagle said:

Ugh, same thing happened to me. It's true I forgot about the mic, but considering the headpiece fell off 3 seconds after opening the packaging I don't think "$30" is an apt description. The problem with exclusives that fly under the radar is that they all flew under the radar. As it stands I'm stuck with a 360 and a huge case of buyers remorse, it made sense at the time when it was significantly cheaper and had plenty of genuinely interesting exclusives. Now I really wish I could play Little Big Planet, MGS4, Demon Souls, Infamous, Uncharted 2 and Heavy Rain or Brutal Legend online, while the only game on my "at least I can still play" list is Gears of War 2.

I'm not,I was just saying quote "wtf" unquote. I'm PISSED because I'm out over 1000$ of Microsoft stuff! I'm PISSED because they WON'T make any reliable game hardware! I'm pissed because I should've BOUGHT A FUCKING PS3!SaintWaldo said:
YOU brought up the fucking solder!
FYI my last 360 had loose solder on the GPU. That is what ticked me off. It didn't even red ring that time. Just error message E71 or one of those. Right after I just bought another year of LIVE time,4 months ago. You cant say your not mad yourself about all these console failures. And yet here I am,venting my rage to some random guy on the internet,YOU.
I'm not wasting anymore money. Trial and error.
