My favourite console is Xbox 360 because it fulfils all my needs to a good modicum, and it has an excellent line-up of games for me to play.

What's yours?

[QUOTE="sonicmj1"]I've played and enjoyed MGS2 and 3, and I can safely say this game has an incredible quantity of cutscenes.

You mention MGS2's Tanker-Plant transition as an example where the game is very cutscene-heavy. This is true. The end of MGS2 also is big on cutscenes.

MGS4 has situations like Tanker-Plant occurring three or four times throughout the game, not counting the ending. There's about as much gameplay as there has always been in Metal Gear, but MGS4 has at least 66% more cutscenes than earlier iterations. There are literally about nine full hours of mandatory cutscenes and codec conversations.

I know some people feel differently, but for me, it was a bit much.

But isn't the game itself about three times as long as MGS2?

The cut scenes are. if you skip them and play the actual GAME (which is presumably why you bought the game) it is shorter.

Okay, not trying to troll here, so instead of flaming please just give some honest answers.

What in GeOW could not be done on last-gen consoles, other than the graphics? I've seen many threads about how other consoles can't hande GeOW, but other than the stunning graphics i haven't seen anything gameplay-wise that requires all that hardware power.

You are an obvious Sony fanboy and mad about the MGS4 not nextgen thread. Gears of war runs on Unreal 3 engine, that could NOT be done on last generation. Both textures, lighting, resolution, particle effects, quantity of polygons, bump mapping, and the list goes on that the ps2 and xbox 1 and gamecube could not handle.

When the ps3 eventually outsells the 360 worldwide do you think that we will start to see more third party exclusive games on the ps3?

ArrancarVizard
No, because it most likley won't outsell the 360 if rd party developers keep supporting the 360 as they ahve been...

The PS3 is the only system that can have MGS4 because it is the only system that is capable of the game.

What are your thoughts guys?

My thoughts are "no other console can run FF13" and see what happened there. It's BS.

The usual arrogance from Sony.Dr-Doctor
Yeah, because he knows none of those games would play well on his crappy console.

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="Zerostatic0"][QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="Zerostatic0"][QUOTE="ChrnoTrigger"]360 is being outsold in all of the regions, where did you get this idea?Zerostatic0

Probably from alittle something called reality. Have you not been following the NPD numbers recently?

it's not outselling the 360 here in blighty, the 360 has twice the install base of the ps3 here and i'm preety sure it's not outselling it in NA aswell

There are 3 regions. The PS3 is outselling the 360 by a considerable margin in Japan. It has been outselling the 360 in Europe as well for some time now. And if you have been paying attention to the NPD numbers it has outsold the 360 for 2 months straight in the US as well.

britain is NOT europe, and the only reason it outsold the 360 in NA is cos of mgs 4 and that will change there is no way the ps3 is going to catch up with the 360's install base in NA, ms has already passed the 10 million mark there.and any of you that think ff13 going multiplat isn't going to hurt ps3 sales is living in dreamland.

First of all, since it's launch the PS3 has outsold the 360 in Europe, not in Britain alone, but in all of Europe. Look up your damn numbers before you start casting doubts on commonly known facts. Secondly the PS3 outsold the 360 in the US this January, February, May, and June. April and May were basically a tie with the 360 outselling the PS3 by a very small margin in both months. In 2008 the PS3 has so far easily outsold the 360. BTW, I'm willing to make a signature bet with you that the PS3 WILL pass the 360 in the US. Are you game?

I think MGS4 is the ONLY reason ps3 outsold in NA for 2 months, but that will change, and then gears 2 will com eout and the tables will be turned 180 degrees around. 360 game library just blasts ps3 library out of the water ,and it seems a lot of the ps3 exclusive series' games are heading towards the 360. Unless ps3 outsells 360 by a large number CONSTANTLY and 360 stops selling, they can't surpass the install base it has set. And yes, MS will release another console in a few years, but they said they won't cut suport for 360, meaning it will be supported for probably 10 years also. Sony will not be the winner, 360 will be.

[QUOTE="ajc_176"]Can anyone help me with this problem im having?

My xbox got the RROD on Saturday 19th july at 3:08am (was checking my friends list when it stopped :P )

I turned off the xbox, let it cool for around an hour and was faced with the rrod :(

ive been trying the xbox for the past few days and and it seems to be dead :( (i have tried removing the HDD and Ethernet cable )

The only things that are bothering me at the minute is:

i purchased my 360 in July 07 and no longer have a receipt, will i still be able to get my 360 repaired? :?

I also haven't registered my 360, should i do this online before i call Microsoft to save some time?

Edit:

Also when returning the 360 i know i have to remove all perhipials, does this mean i should remove the face plate as well?

micky4889

I think your going to be out of luck on this one since you no longer have a receipt and you never registered your 360

If i was you i would register your 360 right away then wait a week or 2 then call Microsoft and with a bit of luck they should fix it also when returning the 360 remove all perhipials if you have a customface plate then remove that as well but if its the stock face plate you dont have to remove it

MS has the serial number on file along with the date that serial numbered console was manufactured. When you call them, they ask for your serial number, and ask "do i need the receipt for this cause i dont have it anymore" and they will tell you what they told me "no don't worry about it". The warranty is based on the manufactuing date, and they know that date based on that serial number on the console.
