Price cut boosts 360 sales by 32 per cent Comments by Robert Purchese

"Come on, its the same hardcore of fools over and over again."

Contender for "Understatement of the year"...

You should add more fools to your ignore list Arbiter, but it's pretty funny to see you argue with invisible posters ;)

@ Confounder

'If you want a cheap system with poor build quality and lots of unimaginative, brain cell killing FPS then buy a Xbox 360. If you want the best variety of games and a great entertainment system, get a PS3'

I think your a tad confused, but feel the need to post something stupid. Well Done.

Variety is the same, mostlt all titles are multi platform now. Why are there a lot of FPS's on the market? Simple, people like to play them!!

In my opinion all the 1st party exclusives on both consoles offer something exciting and intuitive for all.

@Arbiter, Confounder, Rash', smelly, headbog, banfoi, swam, Apologie...

Why ignore you, when reading your retarded shite and then taking the piss out of your idiocy is so entertaining?

I can't believe how quickly my day's work passes when I glance at these pages and reply in between tasks.

Magic.

This Arbiter fellow is off his rocker, why would someone get so upset about whether a consoel got a "sales surge" or a "sales boost"??

Taking Fanboyism to new levels imo!

"Errr, I hate to break it to you, but, ummm... you're about as intimidating as the easter bunny. Just dumber. Much, much dumber.
"

Oke, that's it, the overdose of irony in your posts has broken the universe. Way to go smart guy.

"You should add more fools to your ignore list Arbiter, but it's pretty funny to see you argue with invisible posters ;) "

Says one fool to another.

Pot. Kettle. Black. You and arbiter should look it up.

"I enjoy it far too much. God help me! "

So much that we WILL ALL GET WHAT WE DESERVE, UNGRATEFUL FANBOY CUNTS THAT WE ARE!

Sorry mate but the 'I don't care, I'm just poking with a stick' thing really doesn't fly after you posted this many outraged hurt little fanboy posts on a forgettable topic like this. By all means however, continue. It is very entertaining on this slow day.

:P

I dunno. I suppose its like smiley face, but the mouth is open slightly to the right.

"Plus, using a thesaurus is far more beneficial than using a dictionary. Word!"

Yeah, I started to type thesaurus, and then gave up and put dictionary instead.

"What was this thread all about anyway, I’ve forgotten now."

You called somebody a cunt for saying that all people who lived in council houses were scum, then they called you a chav, then you got all pretentious and wordy in response. I think you called them a cunt afterwards too.

The 360 should do well with your average family this year. Cheap price of entry, loads and loads of cheap games (plus pre-owned prices are incredibly low just now).

They don't care about live,they don't care about blu-ray. They only care that its £129 and it plays DVD's.

Microsoft could scoop up a lot of cheap ass PS2 owners that are used to memory cards and plugging their consoles in via composite into their 14" colour CRT's.

evilfoxhound, Arbiter, Confounder and the "all-knowing" Les getting in a lather about a console they've all repeating criticized but don't let others do the same in their Sony threads.....no, no....bad 360 owners!

Why are they even posting in this thread anyway?

My work was done here when EG changed the title of this article earlier today.

@Arbiter

You think too much of yourself....EG didn't do it because of you, Arbiter...lol

I love these threads.. a load of people who lose nothing from MS doing well and gain nothing from Sony doing less well than last gen still fell they have to jump in and find reasons increased 360 sales are a bad thing. Unless you're a stakeholder in the company it's sad.

As gamers we all do well from this competition and get good games whatever platform we own and even more if we're able to afford more than one platform. Good times.

Finally had to put Arbiter on ignore. Dear me. I just don't get why these guys post here if they've no interest in the 360. People will still buy it so for lords sake let them and enjoy your own consoles.

"Whether you have valid points or not, you still come off as an arrogant wanker, thus people don't give a shit about what you say.

Try NOT being a wanker for once in your miserable life, you might get less scathing replies and who knows, maybe even taken seriously."


The irony is delicious. More croutons anyone?

Jesus wept...what a thread.

I love you all.

Super Hi-def is set to be released in the next 3+ years - Kiss good bye to blue-ray.

@Arbiter

Throughout this entire mess I've never written anything either pro-Sony or anti-Microsoft

Noooo, of course not, that wouldn't be like you, Smelly loves it too that's why he always claims his Xbox broke on him 7 times, and foxhound, he loves it as well, you can just tell...you guys are like the Microsoft protection society!

Seriously, don't bother, Xbox360 is a sucessful console and is here to stay for this gen, people who buy one will enjoy playing great games on them, and they make Sony work a bit harder (you likey them Trophies no?)

I don't know if you guys go to bed and take 2 hours to calm down the 360 rage before you can go to sleep, but it kinda seems that way a lot of the time....go to VG chartz, they sold more worldwide this week, they will next week, but then take some tablets, calm down, the PS3 is still real, it still exists, still you're little precious

If you develop a Nintendo game in this mental state it won't suit the platforms they have...they want Brain Training not Insanity Unlimited, calm down, have some Tea, get over yourself, you'll feel a lot better

..and yes, Ninja Gaiden 2 is fantastic, fast, responsive, beautifully animated...well done buying a 360...good value no?

"No car for me, did you expect me to have a Burberry painted cosworth?"

/pre-orders

What?

Even I'm contemplating buying one. Just have to figure out what I'd want to play on it.

Ah you see there are sad little gamers with the "noble Xbox hater" syndrome, may own one(Im sure some resent the fact that even they see it as an essential purchase... theyd rather see another label on those game boxes so they could allow themselves enjoy them more) or seem totally objective as long as things are looking the way they want them to be...

The reverse of that happens and theres talks of 360 exploding(or still not improved), missquoted devs, or heavily bias slanted comparisons with other consoles, how do they react?
"negative spin? Nah LOL its just silly M$ losing, they are doomed innit. See told ya, serves them right :)"

As soon as it looks like MS are gaining momentum/anyone suggests they will, or the 360 is shown in a more positive light than the competition even if its true... well you know the story.

Ive pointed out missleading headlines, quotes taken out of context and unnecessary bias commentary/journalism in quite a few EG articles over the years... didnt see them complaining then.

Is Arbiter the same guy who went mental at everyone after Sonys most disasterous E3(you know the one) pretending they had the best one and hurling fanboy insults at everyone who disagreed?... If so perhaps he still harbours bitterness, owning a peice of electronics doesnt mean you are totally rational in your judgement of it especially in comparison to others that you own(you can still have some anti-xbox sentiment).

Some try and pretend one corporation is more of a nobel choice than the other, quick to point out all the dirt and in some cases propaganda for one... dismissing and downplaying any good that gets pointed out and any wrongs done by the other sides = Theres no point pretending, play what you want for the right reasons and let others do the same, stop pretending you are behaving in trollish ways for any reason other than the next dribbling dork of a hater/fanboy.

Alot of cross PS3/360 games run/look better on 360 - and cheaper too!
