To be fair, there was a point in the Microsoft presentation where they said everything after this point is exclusive to the 360

Never argue with idiots
They bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience

They didn't.

And if they did, they lied.

Hehe, every time this gets quoted in an infamous8 thread, it still cracks me up.

Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

They didn't fuck up. The scheduled had an unnannounced Sony game listed, just as there was an unannounced Microsoft game listed. Both turned out to have been revealed during the press conferences. As usual, you set yourself up for disappointment by getting preemptively hyped.

1.listing MGS Rising as an exclusive. Then having to change it about an hour later. Causing alot of chaos and uncertainty

2.listing a "unannounced" sony game to be revealed. and saying "this could be big".... then turned out to be ModNationRacing, which was already announced at the presser on tues.

Theyre usually really good, but IGN has lost a bit of cred this week.

They didn't lose as much credibility as you did.

Besides that.. They did the same thing to M$. They listed those spots as unannounced so it wouldn't spoil their presentations.
