do you guys expect an announcement for a price drop for 360 this year?

or maybe a bundle pack with halo3

 

[Hiro_Kunimi_80]

no price drop announcement ( maybe at X06 or TGS )
no bundle with halo 3 ( 2007 release )

No & hells no.

 

[Amir0x]

This year, I'll be fine. Most expenses are taken care of.

Not ordering every single PS3 and Wii game this year? tsc tsc

 

[alumne]

All i would like to know,is if BlimBlim has heard anything of Team NINJA perhaps showing off NG2 or maybe another one of there 360 games in development in addition to DOAX2 at E3.

You don't have to respond if you don't want. A simple izzy wink will do.

OMG! Windows exclusive!!

So does that mean NOT for Xbox 360?

 

[Amir0x]

SHAAAAAADOOOOOOOOOOWRUUUUUUUUUN

 

[ant1532]

Look what i found.

Sure it has 16xAA lol, but thats it. MArcus(?) has facial hair now too

sorry dude but thats a fake.
you can tell from the amount of hair on smoe of those characters.

 

[soul creator]

I could see a $50 price drop on the Core system, with premium staying the same. Then again, if Sony launches at $399 with everything, I could see a $50 price drop on both SKUs ($250 and $350)

OXM printed a fake picture then? Good to know.

360 and Windows Vista.

360 and Windows Vista.

Oh okay

And so it begins. Looks like nexus was right as always. Wich also means MS did get publishing rights to Alan Wake.

I can't wait to see more of Alan Wake. The game looks amazing

G.E.D. include sarcasm detection?

Right about what? We've known about Shadowrun for ages.

 

[RaijinFY]

alumne> What else Nexus said?

 

[Joe]

can someone summarize what was said and hinted at please?

 

[PhatSaqs]

can someone summarize what was said and hinted at please?

Basically everything you'd expect from MS (Forza 2, Fable 2, Halo 3, etc.) with the inclusion of MS snapping up Alan Wake exclusively with Shadowrun being developed for both 360 and Window.

Due to controller differences, I'll more than likely get multiplayer games for 360. However, if games like Unreal Tourney 2007 and Assassin's Creed come out before 360 version, I'll be fine, since I already have them squared away. That is what I mean.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Alan Wake to be published by Microsoft.

But PS3 has gyro, looks like you're stuck supporting another rosebudded console.

what the hell does rosebudded mean!? lol.. I get that it's Reirom speak, etc. just that.. well

Don't worry you're not the only one. I see it all the time and have no idea wtf it means :lol

Have you seen citizen kane?

 

[SyNapSe]

Have you seen citizen kane?

negative, sir. I've been here since late 2000 and rosebudded seemed to start popping up a couple of years ago. I get that it's bad by context, but I've never caught the exact meaning. Is it used as a word in the movie?

edit: also clearly I don't bother visiting OA or i suppose I'd know

When in doubt,search urbandictionary.com

1. rosebud

The appearance of one's rectum after fisting. The internal tissue pulls out beyond the sphincter muscle. The bright red to pinkish tissue looks like a rosebud.

That dude takes alot of fists up his ass- check out that rosebud.

[SyNapSe]

Wow! I figured it had something to do with taking a girls virginity.

Sorry I asked, that was a horrific answer.

 

[GashPrex]

wow that was not necessary - good to see shadowrun is being shown is searching disabled?

Yes, searching has been disabled I think.

In the film it's Kane's childhood sled. reirom proves himself as some sort of idiot savant in drawing the connection.

 

[alumne]

:lol


Now you know. And knowing is half the battle

 

[KeithFranklin]

Can still be console exclusice. Subtle marketing difference. We have seen this time and time again.

 

[KeithFranklin]

No price drop until PS3 pricing announced. No Halo 3 bundle pack, but expect Holiday bundle.

Microsoft basically considers the PC their second platform.

 

[Speevy]

Microsoft basically considers the PC their second platform.

It would kill the Xbox 360, but I always thought it would be hilarious if MS walked up to the stage and said "Xbox 360 plays all Vista-compatible PC games. Bye."

There is a place reserved on the xbox site for the game BC. When you type the address www.xbox.com/bc the address changes in http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/b/bc/. The "games" part of the address only appears if there is a space reserved for a game. For example, if I type www.xbox.com/ninjagaiden2 then the address changes in http://www.xbox.com/en-US/ninjagaiden2 (without "games").

This was also posted on a certain xbox forum. I think that thread was later removed for some reason. It also works for Shadowrun (edit: it doesn't work anymore for this title.)

But my question is, why is BC never mentioned in the rumored games lists ?

 

[duckroll]

BC = Backwards Compatibility?

 

[siamesedreamer]

What/who is Alan Wake?

 

[Amir0x]

BC = Backwards Compatibility?

that game that used to be an Xbox game

 

[Speevy]

Is it an Xbox 360 game?

That'd be a nice surprise as the game was seemingly canned.

 

[alumne]

It's developed by Remedy,who are responsible for the Max Payne series.

 

[gamergirly]

Was that that prehistoric game where you were supposed to be able to do whatever you wanted? Kinda like a Jurassic Park Fable?

A little over 40 minutes until Xbox Live becomes free for the week and updates.

 

[GhaleonEB]

A little over 40 minutes until Xbox Live becomes free for the week and updates.

Wait - free for the week, including updates, or 40 minutes until it's free, and updates go live?

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

A little over 40 minutes until Xbox Live becomes free for the week and updates.

Is it not 12:01am PT?

EDIT: Looks like it is. From Major Nelson:

Then I took a closer look and realize that a lot of them are about Xbox Live Marketplace content. The team that works on marketplace content has been in all weekend getting ready for next week. I have to tell you there is a TON of stuff that will start popping up on Marketplace starting Monday morning (PT). I see demos, trailers, themes, gamer pictures and more getting ready for the march to Marketplace.
I’ll post details once the content goes live. That’s all I can say for right now.
