Don't know why this site calls him Paton instead of Payton--maybe the author's first language isn't English, which explains the horrible grammar in the article. Anyway, Ryan Payton is Hideo Kojima's right-hand man, and acts as a sounding board during development to ensure us Westerners will enjoy Kojima's stuff even more. Apparently, if the Packers win their playoff game this Saturday, Payton will drop some hints as to what's in store after Metal Gear Solid 4.
If you get lucky, you might win one. That's how I got mine. There was no way I could get a PS3 after spending $500 on an X-Box 360.
How on Earth did you end up spending 500 bucks on a 360? Most people say they got it b/c it was cheaper.
Tax my friend. CA charges 8.25% sales tax bringing a $450 X-Box 360 Elite to almost $500. If I bought a PS3 (~$499, it would've been ~$550)
XBOX Elite is $449, which is $50 more than the 40 gig PS3 and $50 less than the 80 gig ps3. Add a $100 wireless adapter to your XBOX (Which is built in to the PS3) and that price difference goes byebye. For the other cheaper models of the 360 you need to buy an adapter if you want HDMI support for true digital HD quality (another $90). In order to play online you need to pay another $50 dollars that is good for a year. In order to enjoy High definition movies you need to buy a separate HD-DVD player for $180. Cheaper, right?
PS3 will probably be the winner of the 3 as time goes on. If I recall though Microsoft has already begun work on a new console. Or atleast concept of what it is.
Everyone has. It takes years to make these things. You have to project where technology is going and create a design ahead of time that will be economical enough to mass-produce at a decent price. It's maddening work that takes forever.
So the Elite, despite costing that much, still needs a wireless adapter? Wow, the cheap thing must be a Microsoft hoax.
