Do we have an Xbox 360 thread? I dunno. Anyway:

Doom! SWOS! Rejoice!

That's pretty cool. There's a good chance I will buy one as my second console this generation if Sony continues to fuck up absolutely everything.

But there were some excellent looking things on the PS3 at that TGS thing.

I think I'd probably rather have one than a 360.

Altough I'd rather achieve inner peace than have either.

4-player co-op doom on nightmare could be the ultimate late night drinking game.

But only in HD.

You'll never get that.

And what about Halo 3?

LiveArcade is being used to fill in the gaps in the retro market that aren't plugged by the Wii Virtual Console.

DOOM on XBL isn't even in widescreen. SIIIGH.

SWOS could be the greatest thig in living memory, mind. Although the thought of buying an expensive console just to play it is completely gay.

Also, capital letters look stupid in the middle of words.

Eggbox 360 will drop by at least a hundred pounds by this time next year, I reckon.

I definitely wouldn't mind a 360 at some point in the future, though any new game from the Ico/SotC team may make the decision for me.

I like the look of Liva Arcade, because rather than necessarily being retro, it allows us to get new games that have different values than the big budget 3d-o-fests, and will hopefully spawn some interesting, well thought-out material, as opposed to relying on gurfx.

Though SF2 and Doom being big sellers does seem to support the Captain's retro suggestion.
I hope you like the Christmas present I sent you and your wife.

The 360 is very good yes. Although the most-used element for me is the media center extender. There's nowt better than trying to watch Lost over the thunderous roar of the 360's fans.

Are they not owned/controlled by Sony?

MS should use their funds to buy the rights to the concept of Colossi.

They seem to be buying just about everything else.

They should buy all the PS3s, just so no customers can have them, and then never buy any games or accessories, so Sony make a huge loss.

Have you suggested that to Peter Moore? They would probably actually do that.

It'll probably not be until about 2010, the rate they seem to be knocking out games.

I should really go back to ICO and finish it off. Phoenix Wright distracted me too long.

The Amelicans are complaining because PS3 games are going to be 85 dollar. I'm not sure what this means for UK prices, except that it will have little or nothing to do with the current exchange rate.

Can anything save the PS3? Seriously? I can't see it.

the current $:£ rate is near enough 2:1. So expect about £50 for games.

Brand name and about 10 billion pikeys in hoodies who'll but it no matter what, perhaps?

Also, Microsoft have comprehensively failed to take advantage of their massive head start.

But if it's not even available to buy and is massively expensive and has no FIFA etc etc.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens.

WHAT HAPPEN!?

DETI: I think Microsoft are making a decent fist of it at the moment. Grabbing exclusives like Splinter Cell, pushing ahead with Xbox Live etc. They also have the possibility of slashing prices and producing value bundles once the PS3 does actually appear.

Until March this much will happen: nothing.

then we'll probably get a delay announced and another trailer for MGS4.

Well PS2 had a pretty poor launch, and it only had to go up against a distinctly underperforming Dreamcast at the time. Some brave souls bought one even before MGS2 came out, probably for the DVD playback.

The situation is quite different this time though. Eggbox is no Dreamcast, Blu-Ray is no DVD and the Wii is a dark horse that looks set to ride the same wave as the DS, selling cheap and cheerful games against a technically superior but expensive product.

Also, I can't understand why anyone would buy a console for a Metal Gear Solid game. They're fun, but only while they last.

Indeed. This time the PS3's USP (blu ray) is something that people don't actually give much of a shit about. If it showed films in 3D hologram form or something, then people would get the difference between HD and DVD, but as it is I can't see most people giving a shit.

Of course there is a vast swathe of people who regard all consoles as "Playstations", but that also means that they are likely to buy an Xbox Playstation instead.

Snake's may not be too bland as a gruff hero, but he's not exactly Colin Farrell is he?

Nice tache, though.

I was wondering whether MS would get Halo 3 out in time for Christmas, and found this breathtaking news.

Wow! This is what all Halo fans have been waiting for.
