As far as companies showcasing their games on 360, either the 360 is still the lead platform for development of these cross-platform titles or it's money hats. I saw a commercial just the other day for a game (I forget which one) that was on both PS3 and 360. Yet at the end of the commercial, the ONLY platform that it showed avaliable for was the 360. I wanted to scream at the tv "It's for PS3 too idiots!!"

Those commercials you are complaining about, that are multi platform, and yet only refer to one system, are typically paid for by that company. I've seen the same COD4 commercial that at the end says xbox 360, and then later seen the same commercial and at the end only says available on ps3. Same as GTA4, there are PS3 commercials for it, and 360 commercials.

You do realise Sony haven't had their press conference yet? How do you expect to see games showcased at an event that hasn't happened yet?

And there was a different cut of Resident Evil 5 footage at Sony's press conference last year actually.

I think what he meant was that when walking the floor of E3 and seeing the cross-platform games on display, they are almost always displayed running on 360 and not PS3. At least that's what I thought he meant.

Not really. The 360's new avatars look more like Mii's than anything on Home. They don't have a world to walk around either so it's nothing like Home......unless they announce it later.

I still think they got the Idea from home. Plus whats up with the stupid announcements?

"We are proud to announce here today... Uno Rush."

wtf?

and I liked the Fable 2 one
"Fable 2 is finished! It will come in October!" No date still.

lol, at first I thought their guest speaker would be Hideo!

Any announcement of a web browser yet? lol

SBrooks1 · 07-14-2008, 06:27 PM

ooooh, being able to watch the same Netflix instant watchable movies and TV shows with your party on XBox Live....very cool. I was talking to someone on here the other day how it would be cool to watch Blu-ray's together on the PS3.

bajor27 · 07-14-2008, 06:28 PM

Microsoft announced this morning that they signed an EXCLUSIVE deal with netflix.

Netflix members can now rent through XBox Live.

That really sucks. I don't think that Sony's movie service will ever be able to compete with that. What are you thoughts?

Elandyll · 07-14-2008, 06:29 PM

So, any truth so far to the "HUGE" anouncement that was prophecized (some 360 fans even expecting a new exclusive that used to be a PS brand)?

It's already said to be one of the functions with Home

Sorry, but i just can't understand why that would be cool.

Person #1 - Did you see that person #2 and #3 that was pretty cool what Harry Potter just did.

Person #2 - Yeah, I like that, Hermonie is hot.

Person #3, can you guys quite down, Im trying to watch the movie.

Person #2 - Sorry, hey person #1, can you put it on pause, I need to go to the bathroom

Person #1 - fine.

Sounds real cool.

bilbravo · 07-14-2008, 06:34 PM

Link? I don't doubt it, but I'd like to read it.

That said, it definitely sucks. I would think Netflix would want to reach as many console users as possible.

edit:

Engadget has it... bummer.

My thoughts? Well, I gotta keep my language under control on this site....

But Jeeeez. Microsoft just doesn't stop. They must have made one HECK of a deal to Netflix for exclusive rights.

kingofgrills · 07-14-2008, 06:36 PM

Microsoft helps promote multi-console releases on the 360 by providing commercial $$$ support - with the stipulation that the 360 is the only platform mentioned in the ad. That is why you often will see a commercial for a multiplatform release, such as GTA IV, with only the 360 mentioned.

Sony puts all of their marketing efforts into their campaigns on 1st party exclusive games. Personally, I don't think that's nearly enough support, especially when games like The Getaway and Eight Days, which were touted as huge PS3 exclusives, get sh!t canned.

A Sony executive - I forget who - recently said in an interview that only 1st party games matter to Sony, because they can control them. I don't know if something got lost in translation with that statement, because if I was a 3rd party developer, I'd be a little miffed hearing that statement from Sony.

Sony needs to buy a clue and work on supporting 3rd party developers more. Square Enix clearly despises Sony now, after being their biggest 3rd party developer for a long time. They have been releasing a surprising number of Japanese RPGs on the 360, even though the 360 has a functional installed base of around 25 consoles in Japan.

Having strong 1st party games is needed and great, but they need to have great 3rd party support as well. The PS3 should be the lead platform with better graphics and lighting, as well as exclusive DLC. Sony needs to step up to the plate.

Elandyll · 07-14-2008, 06:36 PM

/shrug.

So Sony should sign up with Bockbuster, thus nullifying this feature.
