Live chat with J Allard Tomorrow (8/21)

!

Now I think Nintendo needs to host a chat with Reggie. That'd be awesome.

But that might be not so fruitful.

"What does ..."

"No comment."
 
I like the guy who keeps submitting his question about launching the system in South Africa. Because I'm sure that's a territory that Microsoft US cares a whole flying fuck about. SHUT UP, YOU!
 
At the end of this hour, after Allard types out 20 questions without giving a single answer, he'll conclude with:

"To all the above... No Comment!" J Allard has signed off.

Why is the hard drive so highly priced? A 20GB hard drive now a days goes for about 20-30... why $100? I believe this will deter alot of sales..

J Allard (Moderator):
will the loss of HDD mean that all games will be made without the HDD in mind, therefore effecting users of the premium pack?

J Allard (Moderator):
Can we stream videos from our PCs?

J Allard (Moderator):
Why even offer the core package, its seems quite useless

J Allard (Moderator):
Can you use your Xbox live gamertag for xbox live gold on the 360?

That's all so far...and no answers.

I asked 4-5 serious questions, I hope atleast one is accepted and answered. (and no, the question about REIROM and his ninjas isnt among the serious ones). I bet he doesnt answer my RGB SCART questions..!! *shakes fist*

Why not package the Xbox 360 with only the hard drive and a wireless controller for $349.99, so that you can have one SKU

This is a waste. Seems like they never planned on this many people. Half an hour in and no answers. I'm done.

At the very least it'll show the negative feedback doesn't come from a few people on a couple gaming forums.

It sure it's unfortunate they couldn't handle the traffic.

it sounds like a cesspool. i wish we weren't getting updates on that part of it, but since there is apparently no real content...i'm not missing anything anyway.

They should have planned better.


New question:

J Allard (Moderator):
wILL THEE CABLES IN THE 400 PACKAGE WORK WITH MY T.V THAT USES A/V CALBES?
 
Next question up!

Why not package the Xbox 360 with only the hard drive and a wireless controller for $349.99, so that you can have one SKU
 
if anyone is still in please ask if a psp, ipod or any other form of storage can be used like a harddrive without BC functions. this includes DLC too. the core package wouldnt be so bad if this is true.
 
I got a question. You work for the largest software company in the world. You have billions in the bank. Why can't you have a simple chat that doesn't run like complete shit?
 
J Allard (Moderator):
What is your opinion on HD-DVD?

A summary so far:

Its nothing but a publicity stunt.
Next thing you know, they will be hailing the huge number of people crashing the chat, as testament as to how much interest there is in X-Box360.

I asked about PSP. And also about cell phones with USB cable. It would be nice to be able to save games on your cells memory card. talk about being portable and all the time with you!! Here's a free idea for you MS.

You might be able to use those things as a memory card, but not for the caching functions of a HDD. Flash memory is pretty slow.
 
It's now reading this if you are trying to log on:

Xbox Chat Room has reached the maximum number of users. Please try again later.

fuck it i can actually see them typig up this press release right now, readying it for a 4AM release so it can be on the wires i time for breakfast
 
This is brilliant! All Q's and no A's, Allard's way of admitting you get only half of what you expect with Xbox360.
 
This is not good. Not going to do much to stem some of the negative reactions from people on the net with the quality of this chat. Rather unfortunate as I wanted to see some answers to some of the questions. Aye carumba.
