They can plan all they want. They planned to have a million units by November. They planned a world wide release. They planned a lot of things, and had you been following this blog you would have been warned about all of this back in march. ;) I'll believe it when I see it.

In an interview with CNET News, Bill Gates discusses not only where the company is headed with Windows Vista, but also his feelings on where the Xbox 360 is headed. When asked about the demand for the Playstation 3 and how it effects the Xbox 360's sales, Bill stated that he "wouldn't change positions with them in a million years. I mean, we know what it's like to be a year late. We feel great about the position that we're in." Confidence in the brand and overall outlook... that's what I like to hear Billy! And what does the little analyst inside of you think? Is Microsoft handling the 360 how you would, or do you have some advice for the big wigs up in Redmond HQ?

Resistance Fall Of Man Will Not Play In 1080i, Forces SD

Resistance Fall Of Man Will Not Play In 1080i, Forces SD

just a quick heads up guys, and this has been tested by us here. If you select 1080i as your PS3 resolution, Resistance: Fall Of Man will pop up a message when you boot the game that says the game requires 720p for mazimum image quality. If you can only do 1080i, the game will force your system into 480 mode. This is unfortunate, to say the least.
