"Probably the best example would be the exclusive content that will be available on the 360 from Grand Theft Auto 4 in spring. So, I'm very happy with where we built Microsoft Games studios over the last three years."

Yeah, Peter, it's amazing what you can do with money, in terms of persuasion.

And I might be completely incorrect in this, but... aren't both the feature-full (premium) versions of the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 the same, in terms of price, at this very moment?]]>Jul 13th 2007 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/Jul 13th 2007 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/Jul 13th 2007 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/

But you feel very confident in your units.

I do.

That they shouldn't have more than a normal failure rate at this point.

Whatever that may be.

Well, it's usually like two or three percent.

Because Blu-ray on the PS3 is the GAMING media, it's not just some drive they threw in for people to watch flicks.

The PS3 is about high def gaming. You can't fit high def content on DVDs period (nothing worthwhile at least). The difference being that for the Xbox360, no games will EVER be made that exceeds the capacity of what a DVD can hold. That limitation is non-existent for the PS3, a limitation that is critical in the long run when it comes to high definition content. Hell, there are games on the regular Xbox that maxed out DVDs with SD content.]]>Jul 13th 2007 7:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/Jul 13th 2007 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/
so far, we haven't seen games maxed out above 8.5 gigs affecting their presence on the 360- it seems that kind of thing has only hindered HD movies so far. ]]>Jul 13th 2007 8:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/I think that DVD is just fine for games.

My only gripe with the 360 was HDMI (which I have an Elite so no problem now). Proprietary storage. The Wii and PS3 lets me use regular SD cards to save and transfer stuff. No upgradeable hard drive. This entire 20gb vs 120gb fiasco could have been avoided if they would have let us upgrade the drive with our own equipment. Lastly the core SKU. I'm not sure if there are games out there that are checking to see if you have a drive and using it for caching content if you. But console owners that have a drive should benefit from having it.
One thing that I notice on the PS3 is that games will ask you if you want to install some content on the drive. 360 games should do the same thing. ]]>Jul 13th 2007 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/wverything that the premium has that the core doesnt IS available to purchase separately.

@captcaveman
i currently have a 200gb hard drive in my 360, albeit its not from microsoft and it did take some soldering and firmware adn data transfers, but its there nonetheless. i do agree that it would have been better if it was possible to do this more easily.]]>Jul 15th 2007 12:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/

That said, Peter Moore just continues to prove himself a jackass. The constant arguing about the PS3 price drop, the dig about Konami and MGS 4... followed by more dodging of the failure rate stuff. The 'we don't want to try to explain to the consumer what we're going different.. it's complex' nonsense is insulting. Microsoft doesn't want to be honest about it, so they insult the intelligence of the consumer, and the engadget community? Fuck that.

Honestly I think Microsoft is scared. The PS3 sales at 499 are going to be very good, and as all the mainstream games come to both platforms this fall the PS3 stacks up better. If I'm buying a system for the latest Madden, why pay $399 when for $100 more I get bluray, wifi, hdmi, and 3-4 times the hard drive space?

There NO games for the system. Nothing. No games that scream "ohh i have to get one". And having a build in blurray player was a nice way of sony forcing a new standard onto consumers. With that of course its easy to use and an excuse for the original high price. I mean its nice for them to push technology forward but will anyone make real use of BR for games right now? not really. The add-on system works better IMO cause the initial system is gonna be cheaper and you could always upgrade in the future.

I don't know. I buy a system based on games and on nothing else. The 360 has the best lib at the moment and some heavy hitters are coming starting this August.

And as far the interview goes, really, what did you expect? That he completely just admit the faults in every detail? Of course hes gonna downplay it. Thats his job. They know the reality, we know it and as long as they fix the problems, what more you want? ]]>Jul 13th 2007 7:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/Jul 13th 2007 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/Jul 13th 2007 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/Jul 13th 2007 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/Jul 13th 2007 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/

Also, while Peter was definitely pulling some PR fuzzing, I'd say some of the interview questions were a bit aggressive/hostile, and Peter responded defensively to those questions.

"great games still manage to fit on the discs (oblivion, gears, whatever)."

They have to because they don't have a choice. Why do think textures in Oblivion on the PS3 are a little sharper, the graphics slightly better and it comes with the Knights of the Nine add-on? Because they didn't have to "fit" the game on the media. They have the luxury of using higher quality assets without worrying about filling up the media. The game developers have more space to play with and will be able to deliver more content. I'm only trying to explain the logic behind choosing an HD media format over an SD one, I'm not saying PS3 has better games or anything because currently it doesn't.

"so far, we haven't seen games maxed out above 8.5 gigs affecting their presence on the 360"

We haven't seen that happen yet because the PS3 is the first console to use HD media and it's hardly 8 months old. We might see it in the future though, where a game made for the PS3 cannot be ported to the 360 due to lack of storage capacity. The same situation already applies to the Wii, you will never see a game like Gears of War for the Wii.]]>Jul 13th 2007 8:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/engadget-and-joystiq-interview-peter-moore-head-of-xbox/
