Buying stuff like that online would die down eventually, it?s new and fresh but after you spend like $30.00 to $40.00 bucks you realize that it's just not worth it.

Just look what happen to 360, theme and gamerpic etc they put everything on sale and I rarely see anyone with a gamerpic which was bought. I understand Sony has to generate money somehow, since they aren't charging for PSN and the cost of developing home.

Microsoft "will not be using Home"

Microsoft has dismissed reports that it's planning to use Sony's PS3 virtual world Home to host business meetings.

"Microsoft will not be using Home as a tool for virtual meetings," the company told us following a recent report to the contrary.

Last week GAAP claimed MS would be one of a number of big companies using Home for meetings in a bid to reduce costs and carbon emissions, but according to the platform holder it's perfectly capable of staging its own virtual bashes.

"With fantastic Microsoft-developed products and applications like Live Meeting and even Xbox Live Party, we have everything we need to host a virtual meeting in-house," it said.

We were sceptical about the original report, and clearly with good reason.

LMFAO, why would they use home anyway?!

Would probably be like 2 hours of;

"Hey can you guys hear me?"

"You are breaking up"

"Should be fixed now, welcome to our first business meeting within Playstat ..."

"WHAT?"

"Someone is pumping in my face, could we get rid of him?"

"Where did John go?"

"John got disconnected"

"Where did Sarah go?"

"She ran from all the guys chasing her"

Would be a massive failure

Shall I start writing a list of the products Sony created ripped off ;)?

Or maybe the failed ventures they undertook? Both are getting pretty long these days :p

No, far too much level headed and thought provoking discussion will entail leaving us with 15 pages of unbiased and worthwhile discussion from the legions of business entrepreneurs, and highly rated gaming/financial analysts that reside on NW.

We've seen what joke posts and sarcasm does to threads in the gamers hangout, why not leave it out all together? Or at least try to.

So have Apple, and I would put their software (and hardware) well above that of any other company. MS have just ripped people off from day one, then monopolised, charged the earth, made a fortune, and now buy everything they want to win.

Not a great business model, although it is successful.

Yeah, I replied to you because it was the freshest post of the matter.

Still, someone who has jumped into a thread and flames people for arguing really doesn't do anything to help the matter at hand.

I am not starting a versus discussion between Apple and MS. I said MS is one of the godfathers of software and they are. So what is your problem now? This has absolutely nothing to do with Apple, why even bother bringing them up?

No problem at all. Just a friendly discussion. When you claim that MS are the godfathers (and you did originally) of software, that brings all software houses into the discussion as they are very much linked. I just stated my opinion that Apple are by far the most advanced software/hardware house and I would class them and Unix as the godfathers.

If you don't want to discuss that's fine.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
