This is not really surprising, I'm not sure why people are getting all freaked out. Look at the 360 arcade vs the 360 slim. While arguably you can play any game that is disk based on a 360 arcade but not all the features might be available. To play shadow complex on the 360 you would need to get a HDD for that unit. Since the largest memory card for that unit was 512 MB and shadow complex is over 800 MB if I recall.

First, those were differences known from day one of the 360s release whereas this change is 3 years in. Second, there is a big difference between storage and processing power.

I don't think this will go well for MS or Sony. At least not this generation. Tens of millions of people have already bought into this generation expecting their hardware to hold up an entire cycle. This seems more like an admission from Sony and MS that their hardware is too weak. This is a huge opportunity for Nintendo, which I have no doubt they will fail to capitalize on.

They missed a great opportunity to name the game "Gears of 4". Think about it.

Hopefully not if you have a good gaming PC. Otherwise it's a great value if you don't have a current gen system.

I feel like Gawker deserves to take the hit on this, but I'll definitely miss a couple of their sites if they actually go properly belly-up. The main Gawker page has always been utter garbage, but I used to really like io9 - ever since the Gizmodo merger, they've been kind of circling the drain, and Sploid's utter shite's gotten even more of a foothold - and Kotaku and Jalopnik, while not exactly perfect, are certainly worthwhile if you're interested in the stuff they cover.

More importantly, a lot of people stand to lose their jobs. A decent number, I won't exactly cry for, but there's a lot of good folks working there, too.

If those individual Gawker properties are profitable there is no reason they can't be swooped up by somebody else, right? It sounds like it's really only the mother ship that is at fault here. The rest of those sites should be okay to be picked up by somebody else I would imagine.

Somebody want to explain to me why "the hoop gawd" was still an available bracket name. Disappointed in you all.

None of those are the worst. The worst is the dumpster fire that is mobile gaming.

@giantlizardking: I would avoid FFIV on GBA. It's buggy as hell and the translation is questionable at best.

I didn't have any problems with bugs but YMMV. Those original game had shit translations anyway and at least this version is the proper Japanese gameplay version without the load times seen on the Playstation remakes. There may be a more definitive version that I am not aware of, but it seems like there may just be a bunch of non ideal ways to play a great game.
