Resident Evil: Degeneration screens.

Check out the link below for a full set of the Resident Evil: Degeneration screens from the upcoming CGI DVD film from Capcom. This is most likely the only Resident Evil “movie” I will see. To this day I refuse to see a Hollywood-made Resident Evil movie (with that Mila chick) because of how they screwed over George A. Romero.

Are you getting for what you pay for?

Im still unclear about the X360 Elites features, but I read on and I noticed that everything was clear. But then I began to compare both systems, and I realized that the X360 doesn’t have a built in HD DVD player. I also did more research, and apparently in order to have HD DVD, you must buy an extra component to have it. But wait, the system itself is $499.99, and the HD DVD component is $169.99! thats a total of $659.99!!!

Meanwhile on the PS3, you have the gameplay, the Bluray, the online features and basically every other thing that the xbox 360 has. I already know that the Online Experience is much better on the X360’s, but I believe that Sony will soon one day compete with it!

Why do i bring this up you ask? Well, I am tired of hearing this BS on how the PS3 is way over priced! The PS3 has all those functions that the 360 has, but the only thing the 360 couldnt bring was its HD DVD player! you have to pay extra! PS3- $499.99 360- $619.99…..hmmm, I wonder who is really over priced!?

Oh, and dont get me started on microsft points! What a jip! Its like going to a carnival and buying 4 tickets, but everything in the park is 3 tickets. But unfortunetly you can only buy tickets in a pack of 2 tickets each! So when you buy something, your gonna be left with an uneven amount of tickets, which means you will be left with tickets you cant use unless you buy more tickets! Its a scam! Send me hate mail! I’ll love it!

GCN Site News…

 

A little website news for you… I am in the process of getting a server name (www.gamingconsolenetwork.com) as well as a server for the site. Right now things are at a stand still until the end of 2007 (Xmas is kicking my wallet’s ass). That means there will be a whole new look and you won’t have to deal with that “wordpress” in the site name. This template (black & red) is also glitchy and generic. Its a slow process but it will happen. Gaming Console Network started 2 years ago but went down last year due to server problems (the server we had went out of business.. imagine that) so I was in limbo for about 7-8 months (and went back to NLG). I will still work at NLG but this website will be my new home as well… We got 4000 hits the last week or so… not too bad…

Thanks everybody for checking us out. We need the support… Also if anybody out there is interested in writing reviews or stories (PS3, 360, Wii, DS, PSP related) please e-mail me at gcnsean@hotmail.com . I could use all the help I can right now.
