Who here lost interest in the XBOX brand, and is done with it?

in Microsoft Discussion on 11 June 2013

To be honest I think MS are being clever. Hardcore gamers will pay anything for the console at launch and the Xbox has a lot of them. There's nothing wrong with them just reducing the prices a few months after launch. But taking advantage of launch sales is a good move IMO....

So now that PS3 overtaking 360 is a matter of weeks, how long until it reaches Wii?

in Sales Discussion on 18 May 2013

Realistically the PS3 won't be able to sell quick enough to surpass the Wii; the Wii would have to stop selling completely for that to be a possibility in my opinion. Though I think it's amazing how close this generation has been in terms of console sales if you consider what it was like in the beginning. When VGC first started tracking, the Wii was crushing everything, the 360 was the hardcore...

Reviewers "trolled" by Yamauchi's damage test!

in Sony Discussion on 27 November 2010

scottie said: For the 2nd time this week (and the second time in my life) I feel the need to defend IGN. Reviewers CANNOT play games in their entirety. Well, some games they can - those that last about 6 hours. The majority of reviews are done to make money, which we cannot blame them for - everyone needs to eat. How long would you guess it would take to full experience every facet of GT5?...

RCA student radically improves the UK plug

in General Discussion on 10 December 2009

The Royal College of Art's graduate show has opened, and this year, the show-stopper was a plug. Min-Kyu Choi impressed every passer by with his neat, apparently market-ready plug that folds down to the width of an Apple MacBook Air. "The MacBook Air is the world's thinnest laptop ever. However, here in the UK, we still use the world's biggest three-pin plug," says Choi. I personally think...

Yahoo!: Don't buy a PS3 for Christmas because of dead battery.

in Sony Discussion on 09 December 2009

This article is really bad. You can tell that the person who wrote the article has never actually used a PS3 or none of the devices listed, she's only based it on what she's heard because before you can actually use a PS3 for the first time, you have to connect the controller to the PS3 via USB. Anybody with common sense would realise that it's the charger cable. Even if the...

Why cant the Xbox 360 have a browser on it?

in Microsoft Discussion on 28 September 2009

hmm, people seem to be missing the whole point of the ps3 browser...it's not there to try and compete with ie or firefox, i'm pretty sure sony is aware that the ps3 browser sucks in comparision, but a simple browser adds functionality to the console. the ps3 browser allows youtube access, something a 360 can't do; twitter and facebook access, something ms have to integrate; bbc iplayer, once...

Promoting VGChartz

in Website Topics on 23 September 2009

i think video content and maybe podcasts could help promote vgc. it could be game trailers, video reviews, video features. you could even have a weekly video feature on weekly sales. just slap on a vgc watermark and either one is gauranteed traffic. the site needs more media....

Scoobes said: DOATS1 said:the 360's dvd data limit is not 6.8gb See NJ5's previous posts, 6.8Gb isn't the total physical space on the DVD but Microsoft adds some DRM and other stuff that leaves developers 6.8Gb left for game data. i'm aware of the a dvd's physical capacity, and the space used by microsoft for security, and i'm still saying it's not capped at...

remember, he's got the liverpool game to think about, and 5 out of six of his main defenders (including the keeper), were injured. i do think the fact that arshavin wasn't on from the start was stupid, but the only reason i can think of is because of the liverpool game on tuesday....
