Of course i've read about articles that the rumoured Jasper might be release in August...and to wait for that means blinky have to sit out on the bench and have no game time for the next 6 months...I agreed with u that GOW2 is gonna be a big hit like expected bro mmxzero. Meanwhile, I will still stand firm on my personal suggestion to blinky (TS) to get a Falcon now from a reputable seller like GH and play with his 360 without worries for 3 years during warranty period at least...and it seems that 99% of those who posted here are having the same thought...
Your statement about the design of Falcon is "stupid" is too harsh and subjective ler bro...Microsoft spent lots of time and expenses with research to come up with a better chipset for obvious reason...and will keep doing it to improve further in every department...i choose to keep faith with Microsoft on this department...
To be fair, Siebel DID put "And many more" under GOW2...how can u say such comment like "Pity you...Find more lar...Not all ppl like racing ok..."???
How can possibly siebel put all of the big upcoming titles on his single post? Furthermore, those are only some example provided by siebel personally...
Im sure Siebel did here before Too Human, Farcry 2, Dead Space, Army Of Two....... And out of the 4, 2 of them were racing.
You telling me MS spent a lot of time and money researching a chipet to make the console better then researching and redoing the whole motherboard which will solve the problem for good?
This is call marketing product strategy. Instead investing money to create a new motherboard ( which is taking the old 1 and just redo it since the have already a base line ), they went and just try to reduce the size of the chip and which also reduce their cost but make more profit. In time, they will lose trust from customer but they have the money already they want to.
Creating a new motherboard which you must spent a lot in researching and they are scared they are not able to cover the whole life cycle cost. This will make both party win win. But instead Ms wants to win and you lose. So in the end of 360, Ms scared that Cost > Profit. So they must make more money.
And to recover the lost of so much money ( they put 1 billion into warranty claims ), they just reduce 1 tiny thing which will reduce the cost and sell at the same price, they still get back a bit more from what to usually earn.
We play games we use more GPU then CPU. You can try use an electronic termometer and measure the heat on GPU and CPU and see how much difference.
