Purchase Shadowrun or Forza 2, get a free game {Xbox 360 Fanboy}

May 29th 2007 2:27PM It's "shudder," not shutter.

Halo 3: Features that should be in the game {Xbox 360 Fanboy}

May 27th 2007 2:32PM No more Halo articles. Give it a fucking rest and report on some other shit.

Ask PSP Fanboy: Volume 20 {PSP Fanboy}

May 26th 2007 6:30PM For the iTunes question, just use QTFairUse. It converts an MP4 (protected) to an MPA (unprotected), then you can rightclick on the song in iTunes and convert to MP3. Any quality loss from recompression would not even be noticed when played back on a PSP. Now that I think about it, when the hell is Sony going to have a firmware update that includes an EQ for music playback?

Grand Theft Auto IV images galore! {Xbox 360 Fanboy}

May 26th 2007 1:18AM "This site never has anything original other than 'after the break' which is gay."

Because it's the same as Joystiq. The majority of stories are submitted by people that found the articles on REAL gaming news sites like Gamespot, IGN, The-Magicbox, etc. Like watching the CBS nightly news after you spent the whole day watching CNN. Might also explain why the "scoops" here are usually piddlyshit articles about some random asshole's Youtube video of a Banshee getting taken down with a land mine. Wow! Stop the presses!

Valve: our downloadable content will be free {Xbox 360 Fanboy}

May 25th 2007 3:28PM "How is it that they can manage to make all thier content free but Redoctane, epic and ubi soft can't? And point the finger of blame at Microsoft?"

The same reason Valve won't be able to: Microsoft has the final say and won't let them put especially popular content out for free (ie: the new Gears maps, which were all set to be free after Epic made the same claim Valve is making now). Microsoft makes money off selling Microsoft Points, and I'm willing to bet they take a big chunk out of the actual spending of those Points on content. Yet we still have to pay for Xbox Live...what a total stickup job. I think subscribers to Xbox Live should at least get a fucking discount.

New Guitar Hero III tracks revealed, Les Paul guitar coming {Xbox 360 Fanboy}

May 25th 2007 4:35AM Kind of pointless. Play the game a for a moderate stretch and you don't even take their eyes off the TV to look at the buttons anymore.

These moneygrubbing assholes need to just come out with one guitar since they're clearly not interested in making any sort of consumer-pleasing adapters. Have a proprietary connector and breakaway cables (and wireless), so it will work with any modern console. Just like those multi-console A/V cables, but for controller inputs. Simply using one USB connector would cover both the Playstation and 360, with a little circuit board inside to detect the console and appropriately send the correct I/O signals.

I thought this was a rhythm game set to rock music, not a marketing ploy to get an individual consumer to buy multiple shitty plastic guitars. I'd really just like to use my raggedy old SG. This is Guitar Hero, not Steel Battalion.

PSP puzzler Exit coming to XBLA {Xbox 360 Fanboy}

May 23rd 2007 11:22PM What the hell ISN'T 800 Microsoft Points? Oh yea...gamertiles and themes. Fuck this "800 for everything" shit.

Game Fuel Dew is really, really expensive {Xbox 360 Fanboy}

May 22nd 2007 4:58PM Halo's a decent franchise, but WTF is with this idolatry of the game? A FUCKING LIMITED EDITION SODA CAN!?

There's going to be a wet shirt out there when the dumb bastard who buys this spills it because his limited edition Spartan Moron Helmet doesn't have a mouth opening.

Pay to show your love for Heroes {Xbox 360 Fanboy}

May 21st 2007 8:51PM Nothing lamer than having people pay for what is essentially advertising materials (gamerpics). Might as well have quarter slots requiring us to pay in order to run the commercial breaks and get back to the show.

Up close and personal with the Legendary helmet {Xbox 360 Fanboy}

May 21st 2007 2:40PM What a piece of junk. Definitely worth $130.
