Microsoft lied regarding published game titles

[Musopticon?]

 

If this thing continues as strong as before, I need to take a week-long leave from uni just to play Halo 3 and Mercenaries 2. And he from army.

[alanschu]

We all have to make sacrifices ^_^

[Musopticon?]

Yeah, I can probably skip the two week uni trip to England and Wales(it's a English external course). I doubt they mind me taking a short leave to pursue my "life's goals". "

The only point of console gaming is coop and offline multiplayer. It's the only reason I'm (potentially) getting a Wii

I guess only stupid people expect businesses to be in it in order to make money off the services they bring.

I own a buisness and I am in it to make money off the services I bring.

I was being sarcastic.

Other than MGS4, I haven't really seen anything that seems like it's a jump ahead of the 360, tech-wise.  360 also has a few games coming out soon that will probably be well-reviewed and/or big sellers.  I and several other Obsidian folks are considering buying a 360 for Dead Rising alone.

If I was going to get a console for a single game that game needs to be really kickarse and I could get the console pretty cheap. More than likely I will get a X Box 360 but only if I can get the premium edition for about a $100.

Why do you keep saying this over and over? I'm pretty sure everyone who reads these boards knows this. Spam spam, spam spam spam.

Mr. Hades REALLY loves JE. (both the game and the developer, heh)

[metadigital]

I don't know how much of an edge they really have.  Technology wise Sony is superior and so far the games out on the X Box 360 have been lackluster or the ones that would be good are also for the PC.  Only advantage they have is that their console will be cheaper but in the long run it is the games and versitility that sells a console system.

*googles Dead Rising*

 

Actually, I don't think there is going to be a large amount of games using DirectX10, either, for a few years.

What can I say? I am a fanboi, even though Mr. Woo still holds a grudge. I am planning on getting the PC version of Jade Empire when released so I can finally ditch the old X Box.

[Atreides]

Why don't you trade in your old XBox for a discount on the 360?

[Judge Hades]

I'll get an X Box 360 Premium when there are games I want to play on it released and when it is under $100.

[Atreides]

By that time people'll be trading in their 360s for 720s.

[alanschu]

No no no, the next one will be the 1080.

[Krookie]

what comes after 1080?

[alanschu]

Add 360 to it and find out.

[Pidesco]

So Microsoft keeps turning 360 degrees with each new console and never leaves the same place?

I should have expected some of the responses here....

 

Oh well, consider this my last post on this forum.  Tired of trying to bring anything to this place in the hopes of intelligent discussion.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Is there anything more pathetic than these drama queen board exits? Just leave, the other 12000+ members will fill in your weak attempts at "intelligent discussion" just fine.

 

Microsoft didn't lie. They just "changed their stance".

[DarthMethos]

$10.00 isn't really a whole lot when you think about it. Most people probably have that much in pocket-change after a week or two.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Actually, $10 is alot. You forgot about taxes, so the games cost around: $63ish.

 

On the main topic:

I am not sure if they are lieing. Technology changes all the time. Wasn't it mentioned by Miscrosoft that they are going to loose money on the XBox 360 in the short term. This could be their way of trying to make some cash back. Personally, I wouldn't buy a console for more than $175. I rather put the cash into a computer purchase. <_<

Chances are if you can afford a $400.00 game console you can probably afford $60.00 games. If you can't, and that $10.00 really makes a difference, then you shouldn't have a 360 in the first place.
