Find something else to take off the list.

That number is more than any PS3 game out there, period. Just because a few people you know hate or dislike the game doesn't mean its the norm. Also, people, kids trade games in all day everyday, it shows how smart their parents are, rent the friggin game. I'm not forcing ODST down anyone's throat, you like what you like, I'm good with that. My problem is haters bitching because ODST has massive sales & their favorite game doesn't, so they feel the need to call others "Fools" or "kids", Ive been gaming for 32 years & will stop when my hands dont work. Also, I like games like Uncharted, as I said in an earlier post, I'll beat Uncharted 2 before most of the people on this board, taking my time soaking in the atmosphere of the game. I play everything considered great except the Wii.

You want Torrence to Address Analohype because they said something not i SONY's favor: what was it? was it true? say it so we can talk about it! Ive listened to every Analoghype podcast & they never go overboard, its damn near a perfect podcast, they just need one every week. Then you put all your eggs in "icons" basket. Icon has his own opinion & that's good, however, he's dead wrong calling Halo 3:ODST an expansion pack. ODST if played, people will know right away its far from an expansion pack, there is to much put into ODST's campaign. Also, Firefight is another dimension in video game history! I cant wait for Halo:Reach ODST?

This is why I dont like IGN & other sensitive sites because people like you misquote someones prediction, passing it as something someone actually said but didnt! I'm not telling people not to buy Uncharted or Ratchet, I'm tired of people overrating games all day, inflating review scores. See, people are afraid to tell it like it is, not me & now people want Torrence to change the show because their favorite console is getting slapped, that's BS. Also, I use NPD because they are the most accurate, & they dont count pack-in sales. Also, America is the best selling region by far?

That's what this is all about, they say sales dont matter but they do, PS3 Slim sells like crazy now SONY boys want to talk sales all day, good, lets talk. You guys learn: The PS3 Slim sold mostly to existing PS3 owners & there will be little to no change in game sales, Uncharted 2 will sell far below expectations & Ratchet & Clank will not sell at all & Gamesonsmash will call all of us Stupid XBOTS who dont know what a real game is for some reason & trash Million selling games & call hundreds of thousands of online players sheep, they should be supporting the PS3. Now, you dont want to mix it up because the same SONY boys get pissed because the 360 & its games are wildly successful, no one at M$ is holding a gun to the public's head making them buy ODST & then sign in 950,000 players that night! SONY wish they had 1 game that could do that, ONE!

I paid $120 day 1, I knew he'd play with his boys on Firefight all day, when I wanted to finish that mission first on Heroic Difficulty. He also beat the game on Normal & we'll co-op Legendary also, beat Legendary by ourselves as we always do with Halo.Forget what the haters say, sippin all that Hater-aid (red of course), that Mission Was All That! Very different experience that shouldn't be missed. I'm running it back on Legendary, then Normal to get everything, then play Firefight. ODST IS THE ****! Torrence: Mans Game! way to show the variations of damage in Forza. Also, you missed the point that your car was smoking when you were stuck in 3rd gear.Lastly, The Warzone is a perfect podcast! Sometimes people get owned, sometimes they win. Last podcast HipHop got the better of you guys, I agreed with him most of the show, it was a great show.

I dont agree with HipHop most of the time but he loves his work & thats whats most important. Now I have to watch this show to see what the fuss is about. Also, (without seeing the show) Bungie said they were not finished with the Halo series, that was from one of the leaders at Bungie.

I LAUGHED MY ASS OFF! That's exactly what I'm talking about, those games can be good but I'm buying a real game over those all damn day.

This is what the Warzone is all about, debating points, so what if HipHop stirs the pot, This is The Warzone. This is why HipHop is my favorite video game personality, his passion has no =, Spenny T so what if its flame bait articles, he stands by his point ( I agree with about 6% of what HipHop says but he is righ today:up to the 2:02 mark) and you guys are getting soft. @Torrence, If you change this format, I can go & listen to IGN or some of that other B******T where they talk about DS games for 50 F******* minutes & everything is sweet & B******T! People are talking over each other a little but it happens on great debates like this & HipHop is f****** you guys up tonight because people dont want to mix it up. @HipHop, Killzone 2 cant **** with No Halo game, not even Halo Wars. Point is, Killzone 2 has no friggin modes to compete, among among other things. I'm about to continue listening, to this great battle filled podcast!

Also, the greatest battle of All Times: Legendary in the Library fighting for your life while waiting for 343 Guilty Spark to open that door.

Mike & Torrence business is all about competition, period. When comparing like games, they are rival games competing for their Platforms Market Share for Marketing purposes. That is relative in all industries. Even as much bs as the Wii is & not in competition for the same audience, they are in competition with the PS3 & 360. HipHop is totally correct. & GT5 isn't releasing this year, period. & so far, this is a great show, needs a little order, however, still a great show: this is The Warzone!

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 00:38:54 +0000 http://www.thebitbag.com/2009/09/20/video-game-warzone-60/#IDComment35230132 http://www.thebitbag.com/2009/09/15/modern-warfare-2-console-just-announced-along-with-mp-details/#IDComment34837825 @Manberg, 2) I never said the PS3 sucked, ever. M$ had a class action suit filed against them, SONY lost one. M$ realized their problem when excessive consoles were sent back to them, they compensated consumers for their troubles by reimbursing everyone that paid to have their console repaired. Something SONY didnt do with the PS2. 3) To me a PS3 is worth $150, it seems as if its worth $150 to the PS3 fans as well because the big games don't sell like they should. The biggest game on the console is MGS 4 & like I said, I don't watch movies that much! I don't need a b-ray player because I'm not buying a movie for $30 & the outcome stays the same. You can call me what you want, however, all of my predictions have come true. I'll give you another one: The PS3 will lose the month of September (NPD only). I say NPD because they don't count pack-ins. You said you've checked my video game lineage, impossible, especially after you said it fails. Ive played every army game from Combat to Killzone 2 & every important game in between. I run far to deep & have a thorough understanding of quality!

Manberg, 1) Learn comprehension; I said I have 2 360! Since 2005, my son has 2 repairs & I have 2 repairs, for the mathematically challenged, that's 4 total repairs over a 4 year period. Never, not one time did I ever say, I was proud of that, however, I did say, if I had to pay for ONE repair, I would never own another 360. See, reading is fundamental! Your analogies are horrendous: you compared something we can live without (video game), to something that is a necessity if you have a family & a home (automobile), do you understand that? On is a need, the other is 100% recreational! Do better next time.

I said if I had to pay for 1 of my 2 360's to be repaired, I'd never buy another one, NEVER!. Do you understand that? Do you Understand Never? Also, one of my boys had a launch 360 that RR 2 months ago, M$ fixed it free of charge. Now what? You can call me fanboy all you want, that's cool, all my boys know my gaming Lineage. I do know this, I'd rather pay nothing for a fix than $150 for a fix. Again, if M$ didnt stand by their product & that terrible RR ****, I'd be long gone!

I've had a total of 4 360's sent to M$ for FREE repairs! Now, the PS3, if you're 1 day over your 1 year warranty, SONY asks you for $150.00 or fix your own ****! I tell you this mikemadden, if I paid for 1 360 repair, I'll never buy that **** again, but as long as they stand by their product, I'm all in, period. You know, one more thing; I think the people pissed about RROD are the ones that modded their 360's & cant send them back to M$, that's the problem! Well, that's my opinion.

Now if they don't include those cables, that would be a little disappointing. I may get it because I need a 3rd 360 for my daughter, but I would much rather have a ODST 360. @mboojigga, If they have a Forza 3 360, I'll pay $400 for it with no game as I did for the Halo Edition for my son. I'd just visit my daughters room throughout the day just to look at it. @UsCoMmAnDeR, I would pay more for a regular 360 than a PS3! The PS3 is $150 overpriced for me because I'll be damned if I give someone $30 for a ******* movie that the outcome stays the same. To each his own, but we don't watch that many movies at my house, so the PS3's value to me is gaming only & the PS3 doesn't compete in that department imo.

I need a 3rd 360 for my daughter. I may wait for the Halo:Reach 360? But that's a fantastic deal!

I asked you about it sometime ago & you said it was lost somehow, did you fix it? I believe it was the WZ after E3 08?
