I'm not suprised another manufacturer doesn't want to enter this console race or future ones. If you start now, you have to take a major loss for the next console to be somewhat successful. Even if you do that, that doesn't guarantee anything. ]]>Mar 23rd 2008 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/Mar 23rd 2008 9:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/Mar 23rd 2008 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/Mar 23rd 2008 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/Mar 23rd 2008 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/Mar 23rd 2008 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/
Btw, I hate both the capitalist companies(MS a little bit more for screwing PC gamers), I only buy games for my Dreamcast..

I'm not lecturing I just think maybe you're missing out? To be fair, if you bought a 360 today you'd have a very small chance of RROD, hell I've had 360s from launch and never had a problem! Just waiting for a PS3 killer app or price drop now :)]]>Mar 23rd 2008 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/Mar 23rd 2008 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/Mar 23rd 2008 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/Mar 23rd 2008 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/

Trials and Tribulations of a Gamer in the "other" part of the world:

I am doing "da HD thang" on my PC.. Played COD4, one hell of a game.. UT3, Crysis(!!),Gears of War,etc..

I mean, i'm like an active importer.. Well,i've got to be - I live in India(Btw, i'm NOT your tech support guy!) And the thought of an Xbox 360 has been in my mind ever since MTV unveiled it, and don't even get me started on the PS3, i used to dream about the KillZone trailer(Really).. I can buy the Xbox 360 within the blink of an eye. But, i chose not to..

Reason: I plunked down $500 on my new rig (then) for a 8800 GTS 640MB only to get done in the rear by a 8800GT later [Wanted to be Crysis-Ready =(].. Still unfazed by Vista's(I bought Vista Ultimate) lackluster game catalogue, I was on the edge of buying a Xbox 360 from Play-Asia, until MSFT India announced their intention of coming into India, and then rumours of a black Xbox 360 started to revolve in the interwebs, officially known as Xbox 360 Elite.. Had to wait for ots launch.. Suddenly, i keep on hearing about them RRoDs all across the web.. Got a bit stressed-out, i really wanted that 'box. Thought that i'll get that uber-cool Elite. MS announces $1bn for repairing consoles (Breaking Point!) I really didnt want my console to get break just months, or even weeks after buying it. I personally feel it weird to buy a console only to find it sitting in the repair centre, and as I mentioned i'm an Importer, Y? Coz, the costs in India are.. simply said "IDIOTIC".. Lots of effin' taxes.. And what if my Xbox breaks, do I send it to HK to repair it?? And in India there are no HDMI equipped Xboxes, only the Elite and the Halo 3 Special Edition Xbox.. But from what I'd seen in the Xbox forums was this guy.. Mohit Anand, Country Manager(!!) - Home & Entertainment Division, Microsoft (The same guy with the Unibrow) telling that there was no need of HDMI equipped Xboxes in India due to low-HD penetration in India (Fine!).. And the Xbox Core costs $400, Premium costs $500, PS3(40GB) costs $600..

So, there you go! Screw MS, Screw Sony.. Until I get Dollar-Rupee equivalent consoles i'm gonna wait.. I'd wish..

[But actually I'm gonna be buying one when I go to UK - Thanks to India being a PAL country :(, else I'd have got one years ago.. Part of my family is American .. Still i'd be getting the gun-metal PS3 Bundle too..]

Try spinning this into a story and try to make MS or Sony to even fart to this incident.. Hell, no they would'nt..

The hatred of these Capitalist companies vanishes due to my love of the games..
A Gamer, till death separates me from my controller..

My life is chronicled on my blog, I may link to it, only to find this post be deleted by Ryan..
*Wonders if Ryan Block is related to Andrew Ryan due to his crazy policies*..]]>Mar 23rd 2008 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/Mar 23rd 2008 12:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/
As of now HD programming is non-existent.. :(, But as i said "IMPORTING FTW"..]]>Mar 23rd 2008 12:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/acer-not-developing-game-console-after-all/
Btw, I think Gaming PCs will never ever take off.. Y? Cause, Microsoft loves the rear of a PC gamer and devotes all of MGS(Microsoft Game Studios) resources to develop for the Xbox 360.. So, PC Gamers are stuck with 360 ports and half-assed games (Crysis anyone?) and Multiplatform titles..

There you go - High End PC just for Gaming - "EPIC FAIL!!"

*Cries after remembering that he is sitting in a pimped out Game Machine, only that there are no games to play with*

"Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, etc coming up this Summer to Entertain you"

*Hears 360 owners chuckling in the background*
