Browsing Posts tagged Xbox 360

Rumors suggest that the new Xbox live update will have a Browse option. The photo at the bottom shows a Browse option which is not necessarily a browser. Could this really be the  long waited browser or is just part of some browse function . I personally think it’s probably some feature which allows you to browse all the media in the market place. So you can just see all the video games and so on all from the same place. This could very well just be a browse function that computers have to see the list of all the files on your 360. Even my mp3 player has a BROWSE tab.  

There is the so called evidence but it is presented in the market place section. How do I know because I see a Add-on arcade Xbox Originals tab. So it could probably just be a way to browse all the games like demos, arcade, add-ons and so on, all from the same place. No need to jump to conclusions since if it were a browser it would probably be in one of the Media sections not the market place. 

Seeing as games are usually developed on the 360 first and then brought over to the ps3, I think this help the ps3. Games such as Alone in the Dark, and BioShock got and are getting a complete over haul before being released to the PS3. Alone in the Dark sounds a lot better and Bioshock is now nicely optimized with fewer crashes and hiccups. Xbox 360 is basically just a computer which is tailored towards gaming and media. So developers first start with the 360 and then move to the PS3 which uses the Cell CPU. The Cell is much harder to work on from scratch it uses indivisual cores as oposed to the multicore CPU of the 360. Each Processor in the PS3 can only do one job at a time but this also helps the PS3. (jack of all trades master of none). So having a base to work off, of is nice. I personally don’t mind waiting a couple of months to play games on my PS3 cause I am getting a better experience, and game ; not to mention that the game will be optimized and set for the PS3.
The only flaw I can see is that the PS3 is held back. Sure the developers can tweak it and optimize but they are only does said to the core game. The core game itself is meant for both systems. The PS3 is being held back from its best because all 360 don’t ship with a hard drive and don’t have Blu-ray disc space. I think the developers should make games separately for each console and have no ties other than the overall game. It shouldn’t matter if the PS3 will have better physics and looks, and it shouldn’t matter if the 360 version has better online, all that should matter is the game will be better to play on each console.
PS3 is being held back from its best and the 360 is not to blame it’s the developers who need to step up and get paid for proper work. I paid for a specific console (more expensive one mind you) and I want my money’s worth, even if that means putting MORE TIME AND EFFORT INTO IT.
