Thor. Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Yea you got that right the 360 console is now banned in the United states from selling consoles. It might even effect game development to, who knows.. more reason to push that 720 out into the market early eh, unless it needs design changes do to this lawsuit. http://www.courthous...05/22/46716.htm I bet Sonys happy right now. or laughing??:happy: http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/187793_222635647769569_1328023_n.jpg Edited May 23, 2012 by Thor.

Eddieawsome Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) I live in South Africa so i guess I'm the one laughing :D Is the ban only effective till they fix whatever doohicky that looked too much like Motorola`s or is it permanent? If the latter is the case then i think the American government is going to be seeing a LOT of black market activity.

Thor. Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Not sure if its permanent, if it is it could turn out like the Amiga cd32bit :verymad: it to was banned in the usa for patent issues, they also stopped shipping there consoles all together afterwards. And stopped producing new ones.. Edited May 23, 2012 by Thor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualBlack Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I doubt that after 7 years of sales it will not change game development at all. I am sure you are correct about the lawsuit pushing the 720 out early though :laugh: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddieawsome Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Them pushing the 720( god i hope thats not the name) out is not good news,if they do we will probably get a half broken piece of junk that my grandma`s computer can beat in a speedtest.

hoofhearted4 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 as a Ps3 fanboy, i LMFAO at this. The recommendation is limited to the 4GB and 250GB versions of the Xbox 360 S console. is this saying those are the versions that had this problem and those are the ones banned or those had the problem but all versions are banned? if Xbox can survive RROD, then they can push out the 720 with whatever faults they want, people will keep buying new ones until they get a working one and there you go. people are dumb. i just hope Sony takes their time with the PS4. i dont want them rushing anything.

ziitch Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 All I can say is "meh." I moved on from consoles - I just wish some of the developers that do exclusives would. They'd be better off and get a more appreciative audience, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor. Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Here is some more interesting comments about the 360 ban and a gta 5 leak release date?? http://n4g.com/news/1002637/gta-5-xbox-support-leaks-the-release-date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoofhearted4 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 ...They'd be better off and get a more appreciative audience, IMO. a much more appreciative audience? well jeez if that isnt a huge fanboy opinion. first off, many people who play PC play console and vice versa. so the audience is largely mixed and the same. second, why arent console players appreciative? as horrible a rep as xbox has, or rather more specifically its online when it comes to CoD and stuff, that is only a minority of people. if anything, PC players are worse. they are always having petitions to get stuff ported or changed or what have you. always get their panties in a bunch when something cant be modded or something just isnt perfect. now this too is a minority im sure, but to say they would be more appreciative of Devs if console Devs started doing more PC Stuff is just arrogance. i play PC and console. im appreciative for any good game. i love the exclusives i get for my console. very proud of the many games only I as a Ps3 owner can play. im also very proud of games im able to more fully enjoy on the PC like FallOut or something. better off? yea its possible they would make more money. but it could cause a lack of quality in a game. (possibly) some games falter when Devs try to get them to work on both consoles and PCs. not always of course, and this is more noticeable when something is ported, and you realize the controls dont work as well on one system or the other. then not to mention the fact that PC players always complain when they have to share a game with a console because it ruins the potential of the game. but im rambling here and now i have nothing to do with the Topic (then again your comment didnt either. i blame you for my Off Topicness lol) soo ill quit it here....ok now....and im stopping now....now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
