First post revisited
Posted on March 30th, 2008 1 commentI was looking back over what has been said on the site since I started posting (not as frequently as I should tbh) and I noticed the first post I made, where we were discussing the initial pricing and how Sony were going to face off against Microsoft.

A quick look back… Then onward to infinity and beyond!
Posted on January 2nd, 2008 No commentsWith all the other game sites looking at the best and the worst moments in gaming throughout ‘07, we thought we’d take a different tact, we’d look at where we were right, admit where we were wrong and then use Mikes bald head as a crystal ball and predict the major points of ‘08.
Where we were right in ‘07 :-
Who called the free repairs for all? We did that’s right… While everyone else was still whining about the failure rate maybe a little high, we were looking at the info corolating it and predicting it was going to cost MicroShaft a shed load of green. What did Micro$oft do? Extend the 360 warranty to 3 years and set aside roughly $1.5 billion to deal with 360’s that Red Ring of Death’d (RROD).
We were right about the Halo shorts being used as tech demo exercises to promote the movie to film execs, though apparently they were to hype Halo 3, except they came out after the game had been completed by most hardcore players on Legendary.
Viva Pinata Animals was predicted to be a dog of a game, such a waste of a good franchise.
And I’m sad to say Mike was right about Wii sales being maintained :-S Read the rest of this entry »

Welcome To The Grand Delusion
Posted on July 6th, 2007 No commentsAs we saw coming microsoft finally was forced to come out with the truth about xbox 360 faults. Here’s a breakdown of our analysis of this problem going forward.
A major reason MS has not acknowledged the problem till now is that they don’t know how to fix it without designing a whole new console. They are basically on the precipice of losing the whole console business, even the 360 elites are failing, it’s an inherently flawed design.

Ring of Death Endemic to 360
Posted on June 28th, 2007 No comments
Micromart a console repair company in the UK have recently announced via their website that they are no longer repairing Xbox 360s’ that have the Ring of Death, the influx of machines was so great that they couldn’t keep up with the load, and have now stated that it is endemic (to save you looking it up it’s “characteristic of”, or “prevalent in”) the 360.

A cooler 360?
PGR4 is going to be killer in more ways than one. Despite the President of Microsoft’s Entertainment and Devices Division saying the 360 will be profitable next year, MS is going to find itself in a whole new world of finacial hurt in the next 6-12 months… Why? you may ask, the answer is simple and it came to me while looking at this article over on xbox360.qj.net (for those of you who can’t be bothered to look it’s the latest batch of PGR4 screens), why would those fine looking screenshots lead too Microsoft being in a larger financial quagmire than it already finds itself?
