Deal includes the following premium sytem (xtra controller) - 2 controllers - 20gig hard drive - Other stuff Plus four games - GOW _PES 6 -splinter cell double agent -PGR3 Total cost 500 euros However ther one thing that keeps playing on my mind will the fact that microsoft will not be creating games on HD dvds come into play. So is it saver to hold out see what the playstation can do or go for. Or buy a direct x ten compatible card????? Posted by: killians45 Nah, you wont be seeing much as far as bluray and games, either. Cost of production is high enough as it is right now, to cram even more art, graphics, content, etc would require more man power and longer hours depending on how big the game gets. So, you could see games pushing $100U.S. easily if the tools aren't first improved, which will take awhile to do! If they take the route of taking there time to bring prices down, then you run a real risk of releasing an already outdated game. Myself, I'm not impressed at all with the PS3, and I'm betting on the 360 and Wii. One for graphics, and the other for a new type of gameplay. Posted by: Athlon Xbox 360 games [u][color=red]ARE IN HD[/color][/u]. They do not need to be on HD DVD discs for them to be in [u][color=red]HIGH DEFINITION[/color][/u]. The main difference between normal DVDs and HD DVDs is the amount of data that can fit on them. You do not need to worry about the Xbox 360 not being capable of high definition gaming, because guess what? It IS capable, and the games look fantastic. Posted by: killians45 I think he's asking if they will be released on HD-DVD, not if they're in HD. It should be obvious that it is in HD considering the previous gen started the trend. Posted by: Athlon I very much doubt that games will be released on HD DVD because not everyone will be buying the HD DVD player Posted by: The General [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Athlon [/i] [B]I very much doubt that games will be released on HD DVD because not everyone will be buying the HD DVD player [/B][/QUOTE] It costs $199. Besides, not everyone buys an Xbox360... Posted by: Athlon You will be surprised. Most people who were planning on getting a PS3 have bought an Xbox 360 instead. And yes, it costs $199, thats my point, not everyone can afford to just go and buy one Posted by: The General [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Athlon [/i] [B]thats my point, not everyone can afford to just go and buy one [/B][/QUOTE] My point is that not everyone can afford to just go out and drop $500 on an Xbox360, and the people who can ... chances are they can afford that $199 ... Posted by: Athlon Yea i guess so, but many people will just get it for Christmas. I could only afford mine because it was Christmas + birthday money combined vBulletin Copyright ©2000 - 2003, Jelsoft Enterprises Limited. PPC Management vB Easy Archive Final - Created by Xenon |
