Last-Gen Console Discussions (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii)

MGS2 was good, until Raiden revealed himself, than it all came crashing down. 10 hour movie, the gameplay was the only good part, luckily you could play the tanker over and over and end the game.

He was like MGS2's resident idiot... slipping in bird dung and getting a soldiers bladder drained on his head.... but oh well.. I personally loathed 3's gameplay.. but the story was much better

Wii continues to prove strong!

6:1 in Japan.

wow!

See? Even the Jap's hate Sony now 😐

The only change in 3's gameplay vs. 2 was the Camo, everything else was from me.

Microsoft announces a 3 YEAR WARRANTY!!!!!

To our Xbox Community:

You've spoken, and we’ve heard you. Good service and a good customer experience are areas of the business that we care deeply about. And frankly, we've not been doing a good enough job.

Some of you have expressed frustration with the customer experiences you have had with Xbox 360; frustration with having to return your console for service after receiving the general hardware error message on the console

The majority of customers who own Xbox 360 consoles have had a terrific experience from their first day, and continue to, day in and day out. But when anyone questions the reliability of our product, or our commitment to our customers, it's something I take very seriously.

We have been following this issue closely, and with on-going testing have identified several factors that can cause a general hardware failure indicated by three flashing red lights on the console. To address this issue, and as part of our ongoing work, we have already made certain improvements to the console.

We are also implementing some important policy changes intended to keep you in the game, worry-free.

As of today, all Xbox 360 consoles are covered by an enhanced warranty program to address specifically the general hardware failures indicated by the three flashing red lights on the console. This applies to new and previously-sold consoles. While we will still have a general one year console warranty (two years in some countries), we are announcing today a three-year warranty that covers any console that displays a three flashing red lights error message. If a customer has an issue indicated by the three flashing red lights, Microsoft will repair the console free of charge—including shipping—for three years from the console’s purchase date. We will also retroactively reimburse any of you who paid for repairs related to problems indicated by this error message in the past. In doing so, Microsoft stands behind its products and takes responsibility to ensure that every Xbox 360 console owner continues to have a fantastic gaming experience.

If we have let any of you down in the experience you have had with your Xbox 360, we sincerely apologize. We are taking responsibility and are making these changes to ensure that every Xbox 360 owner continues to have a great experience.

This will take a few days to roll out globally, and I appreciate your continued patience as we launch this program. I've posted an FAQ that should address some additional questions, and we'll update it over the next few days.

I want to thank you, on behalf of all us at Microsoft, for your loyalty.

HOW!?

I dunno.. changing cammo instantly just seemed very anti-metal gear to me.. they treated it like it was pulling a pistol out of your bag

aside from that, it went against the typical squared environments that are usually found in MGS, and went for a 'natural' environment... to me the control system didnt agree too well with that

but they are minor gripes considering how fun the story was

Nintendo's Wii is failing as much as 360.

I recently bought a Xbox 360 cooler, not the intercooler, they apparently stick to the back of your console...not good. It is the one where the lights light up, very cool looking. If anybody else has this could they please pm me, I have a few questions about it...it would be greatly appreciated.

Why? Because Microsoft is finally after a year trying to fix their 360s?
