MS: Sony has failed to deliver on promises


Recommended Posts

Again, you can't explain yourself, for like the 3rd time today.

Apparently MS lied a lot, but you're too busy to give examples of this (yet find time to still reply in this topic strangely..).

Then we ask for more proof of the ongoing problems of RROD, again you produce nothing.

And now you can't follow through on your point of MS and the mistakes they've made and my "stupid" reply?

Yikes! :blink:

Lol, its funny to read these threads, you would think it was a war. THEY ARE ****ING GAMES CONSOLES!!

Its quite sad really, how so many people argue about the games console they like...

Yes, I like the PS3 better than the 360, only because I've had every Playstation and I feel the controllers are more comfortable.

Yet, I dont find the need to have 9 pages of people arguing in one thread about how each one is better, each comment saying the EXACT same things... "OMG the Xbox has more exclusives" or "OMG the PS3 has blu-ray"

Both are true funnily enough, everybody knows that, its just a box to play games on lol.

And you just added to the thread, congratulations (Y)

Oh and Nightz, bring over a bottle of lube and some crayons, then you'll see a whole new meaning of the word kinky :ninja:

As I've said, if you want to believe that MS haven't lied, fine.

Prove that the RROD has decreased since the 'new' 360's. As I said I've used personal experiences, friends and collegues and the Xbox forums to see the problem is still there, and not been reduced to anything like a respectable level. You prove its not happening. I know it still is.

As for your stupid reply, if you still cant see it then there is no helping you.

The proof is in the news. When RROD was actually a problem, that crap was all over the internet. It was on every tech website all the time, and it even made real news. Now you don't hardly hear about it at all. And you can't say that you're basing off your experience from surfing the 'Xbox forums' - that's complete bias, as of course you're going to find a ton of reported cases there - it's the official forums for such things.

MS never blamed RROD on the customer, and the only reason it took them so long to come out with their warranty plan was that they had no idea what the problem was.

Apparently his proof is "teh forumz!", which for all we know are consumers on older hardware. I and many others have 360's with the falcon chip set and there hasn't been a problem since :) Proof that there has been a reduction in RROD? Do some reading on an article published in Febuary with a study of only 16% or so having hardware problems, which is half the rumoured 33% figure that was thrown around. Even that 16% could still be users who own older hardware and/or unrelated to the RROD.

I think the fact the PS3 is picking up steam and looking good is why MS is responding now.

If you take a look at VG Charts and overlay the PS2 and PS3 sales, the sales curve are about the same, and if sony can keep this up, it could repeat the success it had with the PS2.

i'm guessing all the 360 fans never had a PS2 before byuing that system? Oh and all of them enjoyed first Xbox model, with 5 games on it, seriously though what makes you hate a PS3 so bad? Cause it's a console that doesn't break every 5 minutes and doesn't have the same functionality as a 360? Ie. heating your room etc, come on guys, please.

Many people turned away from the PS3 simply because of the price when it first came out.

The 360 itself isn't bad, but it needs some damn stability with it. Honestly, I've been wanting to get one for the longest time but every time I come to the forums or talk to friends of mine, I get put off from doing it. :/

Explain to me how you think your post will change anything? You have made no valuable contribution aside from "lols" "OMGs" people like to have debates on which platform is better and why shouldn't they? It's not pathetic what is pathetic is you take the time to reply in a topic in which you are clearly not interested in the discussion there is to be had.

Genius yes I can see that reflected in your post :hmmm:

Nope I had a PS2 last gen.

Was going to get a PS3, but then they announced the price. No way was I going to (or am going to) pay ?425 for a games console. So I got a 360 for under ?300. I could have waited for the PS3 to have a price cut, but in the time I would have waited, I was having fun playing games on my 360.

I may get a PS3 later in its life cycle, but atm I see no need. I do not like MGS games, I am not interested in Haze or Killzone. LBP doesn't look like my type of game. I prefer arcade racers to sim racers like GT. So right now (and in the near future), there are no games coming out that I want that I can't play on my 360. I have no use for a bluray player right now neither.

Well I've got a 360 and a PS3, they're about the same. The PS3 is stronger in some areas as is the 360. I don't bother ranting about either one because I love them both. That, and I'm too busy playing games. I've noticed the die hard PS3 fanboys do spend more time ranting about the xbox, I'm not sure why. Competition is good for us consumers so drop it already and go play some games!

I'm posting my view... Did I ask you to read my post...?

If you don't want anyone to read your post, then why post at all?

It was a pretty pointless post.

-Spenser

I dont mind people reading it, I just didn't ask him to read it and make comments on it, I forgot to add the commenting part, pressed "Add Reply" before I could edit it and I was in too much of a rush to edit it afterwards.

If my view on these arguments on the better console then delete the post if you must...

+1

am i actually wrong???? a console needing plenty of games, and out of those games, having most of them good, to be considered a good console?? do we live in bizarro world now where a console with crap games, crap selection, will win?? Seriously, have i gone that retarded?

The 1 area the ps3 has right now, is that the console isnt breaking on anyone. As far as games, its selection is very poor, and the performance of most of those games, when compared to their others, are sub par. So yes, in the main parts where a console counts, the ps3 isnt showing it. MS has a console that breaks down constantly to people, yet their library of games is huuuuge already, and out of that library, there are many many great games. Hence why the 360 is doing so well with what would normally be considered a crappy console.. so i must ask again, am i just retarded in my view of what a good console is? screw movies, screw internet, its about the games and gameplay and if the console will do it.

Just to add to your comments, how many people have actually bought the PS3 for Blu-ray? I think this also adds to the low attachment with the PS3. MAny people may have bought it as just a blu-ray player, and occasionally picking up the odd game. So in terms of gaming, the PS3 may not be as high in actual numbers. Btw, two of my friends, non-gamers, boast shiny new PS3s. The only thing they play on it are blu-ray movies. :rolleyes:

    • JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today by Sayan Sen This Amazon Prime Day 2026 sales so far we have had a couple of nice deals related to sound and audio. First we have the Sennheiser HD 600 at its lowest ever price of just $225. Next we also have the Beats Studio Pro at its lowest price ever at just $150. However perhaps you prefer your gear to sound great on a larger scale, like throughout the room. In that case an all-in-one soundbar system can help and currently JBL's BAR 800 is a great deal for sure as it's up for grabs at just $600 (purchase link under the specs table down below). One thing that should be appreciated a lot about these JBL soundbars is their spec sheet and the frequency response data it provides. The firm is honest about it as JBL confirms the subwoofer is able to go down to 35 Hz at -6dB or F6. This means it should be covering 40Hz and up very well, where most of the bass lies. You miss out on a lot of sub-bass but that is to be expected given the price point and the subwoofer driver size. Speaking of which, it is a 10-inch driver and promises a max output power of 300 watts at 1% THD (total harmonic distortion). JBL also claims the system will provide you with a "True Dolby Atmos" experience. The surround speakers are wireless and battery-powered which means setting them up should be really convenient. The technical specs of the JBL BAR 800 are given in the table below: Specification Value Channel Configuration 5.1.2-channel soundbar system Dolby Atmos Yes, with 2 up-firing drivers Total System Power Output 720 W Soundbar Power Output 340 W Surround Speaker Power Output 2 × 40 W Subwoofer Power Output 300 W Soundbar Drivers 3 × 46×90 mm racetrack drivers, 3 × 20 mm tweeters, 2 × 70 mm up-firing full-range drivers Surround Speaker Drivers 1 × 46×90 mm racetrack driver (each speaker) Subwoofer Driver 10-inch (260 mm) wireless subwoofer Frequency Response 35 Hz – 20 kHz (-6 dB) Audio Inputs Optical, Bluetooth, Chromecast built-in, AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM), USB* HDMI Inputs 1 HDMI video input HDMI Output 1 HDMI eARC output HDCP Version 2.3 HDR Pass-Through HDR10, Dolby Vision Bluetooth Version 5.0 Wi-Fi Version 6, 6E Streaming Services Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay, Alexa MRM Get it at the link below: JBL Bar 800-5.1.2-Channel Dolby Atmos soundbar with Detachable Surround Speakers (Black): $599.85 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days.

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.

    • Is a fast food restaurant a good metric to compare against?
    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
