Micro$oft said ''3 year warranty on red ring'', Is that from launch day or 3 years from your purchased, because from what I understand, its 3 years from launch day. Also, if you buy a used system do you still get the 3 year warranty?Question about the 360 3 red light warra ...
3 years from when you buy the console probably....dont know about the second questionQuestion about the 360 3 red light warra ...
I think it is three years from purchase, and that you need the original receipt to prove that you are within the three years from the original purchase when new.I also bought a used one, just off of my brother, and he hadn't kept his receipt, arg. Hoping for no problems.
When mine broke they never even askewd for my receipt
Joke right?
Warranty is always active from when you purchase the item, rather then when it was first released.

Wii better have a price drop b4 Mario Ka ...
The only game I know I will have fun with and will never bore me. ALso with its online play I will wait for you losers across the finish line. Nobody can touch the master. And with bikes in the game and rumor to do tricks I will be taunting you all game.Is there even a Rumor of a price drop. I still find the wii over priced and can not find in myself to buy the wii at $250. I want it at $150 without wii sports.Wii better have a price drop b4 Mario Ka ...
I use to say that too ( 150.00 ) but after 15 months and I have yet to walk into a store with Wii's on the shelf for 250.00 - I wouldn't look for a price drop anytime soon.Wii better have a price drop b4 Mario Ka ...
Why would Nintendo drop the price a) right before arguably their biggest release of 08 and b) when the Wii is still borderline sold out anyway?

I dont think they can justify a price drop until console sales cool down, which has not happened since launch. I do think that they should start dropping the price of their accessories and controllers. It must be a simple thing to make them, a lot simpler than a console anyway
The Wii will not be having a price drop any time soon and there is no rumor of a price drop. The thing sells out. You don't lower the price on something that sells out, its not good business. Don't expect a price drop until they stop selling out.

nothing on the price drop front. ure either goig to have to suck it up and pay the 250 or ure going to have to wait for a while. if the wii has another 07 in terms of sales then dont be expecting a price drop before christmas 09 at the earliest. thats my guess anywho.

The latest issue of German magazine Computerbild-Spiele contains a new five-page preview of GTA 4, eleven new gameplay screenshots, and one new piece of artwork. Thanks to Freezer89 for the info! We will try to obtain a translation/summary as soon as possible. Update from Andy:
New information from the article (thanks, GTAlien for translations and Freezer89 for scans + translations!):
= the greatest game ever created!! :shock:*head explodes*New GTA IV Preview in Computerbild-Spiel ...
Sweet! Keep the info. coming.
I'm waiting for the inevitable Game Informer exclusive magazine article. They usually get the full monty on the game first.
GTA IV will be the main course and the exclusive episodic content are seconds and thirds and so on. I can not wait for the gluttony from this game.
Sweet!!
Good stuff Danish, but GTA4.net beat you to the punch. ;)
Good stuff. I'm going to have to take April 29th off so I can stay home and play GTA IV all day.
the game to define what the 360 and the ps3 can do
gta4 will be the game from teh gods.. do we have any informations about weapons? like how many and if they can be customized?g
New information from the article (thanks, GTAlien for translations and Freezer89 for scans + translations!):
- Pedestrian reactions are more true-to-life than in previous games.
- The WASTED! system is still intact. If you die, you end up at the nearest hospital (minus your weapons) the next morning.
- One button press will get you into a car. A second button press is required to start up the car's engine.
- Niko wears a helmet while riding motorcycles.
- Surroundings are more interactive (bullet holes from gunfire, environment reacting to explosions, etc).
- You can find ''useful things'' in cars that you hijack.
- The game is set in 2008.

Duke Nukem Forever coming this year, 3D ...

Duke Nukem 3D on XBLA would be great, and it's something I've been hoping for since the Xbox 1 days.

Hopefully they follow up this with releasing Shadow Warrior on there also. I remember playing LAN games of DN3D at the local college library back in the day... so much fun.

Here's hoping 3D will be coming to Wiiware.
have the playstation 3 and xbox 360 rea ...
im thinking uncharted for the ps3 and mass effect for the 360 at the moment are the best looking console games, would you agree?this is only opinion so dont flame me to death..uncharted and mass effect were both made by highly talented developers, they both tried to push the graphical power of both consoles as far as possibleone thing i noticed about both games is that there is pop up textures. its pushing the processing power, loading the textures of every individual tiny piece of scenery, sound, physics and alsorts is happening and has to be processedone example, gears of war is beautiful but occasional pop up textures and occasional frame rate issues, heavenly sword, the detail in the faces are excellent, but the hair looks stuck on.games are being delayed time after time, there are problems developing games, making textures crisp, making frame rates good, high def. so on.alan wake has been delayed time after time, so too has gran tourismo 5, both hugely impressive in the graphical department.making games for the pc must be easier, as they can keep upgrading to make the games look and run better, using the latest processors and graphics cards, and increasing virtual memory as they please.
this is only my opinion, i think graphics may get a tiny bit better but nothing huge. i expect the playstation 3 to maybe push the graphics a tiny bit futher than the 360 but yet nothing major.your thoughts?have the playstation 3 and xbox 360 rea ...
Didn't the developers of uncharted say something like it didnt even come close to using up all the ps3s power?have the playstation 3 and xbox 360 rea ...
Uncharted was just scratching the surface of what the PS3 is capable of. You won't see the PS3's true power until God of War III is released. The 360 may also seem like it's been maxed out, but history has proven that the best looking games don't come until at least 2-3 years into the consoles life.
im not going to disagree with you but what games to come out this year on the ps3 look better than uncharted? what games looks better than mass effect or gears on the 360. alan wake maybe but nothing major

i actually think that uncharted is a very good looking game and a great game overall ( i loved it and would say its my favorite ps3 game) but im not sure if its really that great looking. something about it just is a little off. im sure not many people will agree but i think assassins creed is absolutely gorgeous. playing it on a 42'' 1080p lcd in 1080p is awesome. mass effect loses alot of points for framerate and pop in problems. CoD4 is definitely up there, but i still think that Gears is probably still the best looking game. hopefully ninja gaiden 2 blows us all away. i think re5 will too.
The Playstation 3 will hit it's graphical peak around the time the next Xbox rolls around. :lol:
No systems are maxed out. Developers will always find ways to squeeze more out of systems.
Both haven't.
I think both haven't peaked yet. I do think the 360 is much nearer its peak than the PS3 though. The reason for this is the system architecture. The 360 has an architecture closely resembling pc architecture. That means programmers are used to working with it and will already know how to optimise performance. The PS3 architecture is completely different. People shouldn't underestimate how different programming for the PS3 is from doing so for the Pc or 360. Programmers have to completely forget everything they ever learned about how to program and adopt a complete new way of thinking. I personally feel that they only ar starting to get the hang of this. Killzone 2 in fact is more than a game. It got its very large budget in order to make the programmers explore how programming for the cell type architecture is done. Expect Sony to have obtained much more knowledge in this field after the completion of the KZ2 project. This knowledge, which of course will be readily shared with other devs working on PS3 projects, will result in a significant improvement in support for devs and thus of games. Another important aspect is the fact that insiders generally see the cell type architecture as the future of pc's as well. Already the first server pc's using this technology have hit the market. They are quite expensive though. When this technology will be incorporated in pc's more, we'll see programmers start to get a more natural feeling for programmnig for this type of architecture. This will also have its influence on the quality of projects for PS3.
X360 probably hasn't topped out, but it's definetly hit a road block because nothing looks better than Gears. PS3 still has room left games keep getting better and better on the system.
yes both of them.
this is only my opinion, i think graphics may get a tiny bit better but nothing huge. i expect the playstation 3 to maybe push the graphics a tiny bit futher than the 360 but yet nothing major.your thoughts?have the playstation 3 and xbox 360 rea ...
Didn't the developers of uncharted say something like it didnt even come close to using up all the ps3s power?have the playstation 3 and xbox 360 rea ...
Uncharted was just scratching the surface of what the PS3 is capable of. You won't see the PS3's true power until God of War III is released. The 360 may also seem like it's been maxed out, but history has proven that the best looking games don't come until at least 2-3 years into the consoles life.

MS should buy SONY instead of YAHOO :o ! ...
:o :oAn article by Esquire looks at the option of Microsoft taking over Sony to help sort out each others console woes. They say that if MS wants to firm up its videogame operation it could do with Sony's foot in the Japanese market and Sony's expertise in reliable hardware. Also Sony could so with the benefits of Microsoft's interfaces and they could split the cost on a next-gen system. Its a crazy but interesting idea.''A few compelling reasons to do so:
1. Microsoft's Xbox 360 has the most atrocious hardware in consumer electronics history. It's so bad, the company had to extend 360 warranties to three years, spending a billion dollars in the process, just to fix systems that keep breaking on a whim. I've had four systems break in only three years. They're becoming known as a lemon-maker with great games. Meanwhile, Sony makes great hardware but...
2. Sony has the worst software interface in the business. Compared to the Wii, Sony's online friend management and gameplay are an utter mystery, requiring endless navigation of its Byzantine menu structure. Sure, buried inside the PS3 are plenty of amazing ''potential technology'' features -- like the ability to install Linux, or its wireless connectivity with the PSP -- but who cares? No one needs these features to play games. Even worse, developers can't seem to make games for the PS3, while the 360's development toolkit is a relative stroll in the park.
3. Cost-cutting. The PS3 still costs more to make than it does on store shelves, which has led to $841 million operating loss for Sony's games division as of the end of October 2007. Until it pulls a profit, it's an albatross for all of Sony. Microsoft feels like it's finally gaining ground on Sony, with a library of titles that are superior, and an online interface that is miles better -- not to mention a larger installed base of sales in the U.S -- but they blew a billion dollars to extend the faulty system's warranty to three years. Splitting the cost on a next-gen system might be a wise idea.
4. Big in Japan (kinda). Nintendo dominates in Asia, but at least the PS3 sold nearly two million systems... as opposed to the 360, which has yet to break a million units in Asia after three years on the market. Sony can help Microsoft understand that whole ''Asia'' thing a lot better. The world gaming market is growing to China, Korea, India -- places where Sony still has clout.
5. And now, for the biggest reason of all: maybe, with two brains put together, they can help each other learn what ''fun'' means . ''FUll article![]()

2 words: KICK ASS.
Microsoft makes like half a billion dollars off its Xbox program.They make $16 billion off their software.They don't give a rat's ass about console gaming. That's why Bill Gates has only showed up to E3 ONCE.
maybe then Microsoft can build some decent hardware
This is so far in the land of hypothetical. Sony would cost a lot more than yahoo. People need to remeber that sony corp is a massive conglomerate with subsidiaries in banking, film, music, electronics...etc. Gaming is just one part of their business. I think MS would have a nightmare just managing all the overhead and added costs associated with taking over such a huge company.

why nintendo should buy the xbox divisio ...
1. the 3rd party problem would be solved for the wii2/ 1st party would be better for the 7202. the hardware issues woulden't be as widespead with nintendos track record3. grafics would be up to par next gen and innovation would remain4. less minigame compalations on wii2 and more games under M for 7205. Halo comalation with wiimote controls = winwhy nintendo should buy the xbox divisio ...
actually Microsoft should buy Nintendo so MS provides all the money for teh technology (graphics and stuff) and Nintendo focuses on innovation....and the best system ever will be madewhy nintendo should buy the xbox divisio ...
Just buy a Wii and 360. And fix your sig lol
This is just like saying, hey an elephant and a gorilla hybrid would be cool.. well no duh, but its not gonna happen.
why microsoft? sony and nintendo is a better pair

For both companies it would be too much money for something that wouldn't neccesarily work.
Wii2??There was a nintendo (self titled system), super nintendo (super self title), nintendo 64(self titled 64), game cube, then wii (am i missing any?)Theres no 2s in there. What makes you think they are coming out with a wii2? Or even sticking with the same theme?

Nintendo and Sony should get together like they did in 1990. If Nintendo doesn't stab Sony in the back afterwards, they could dominate the console market. But that's not gonna happen.
I think MS should buy Nokia so they can make a N-Gage360. Could you imagine? Portable and undependable.
