xbox 360 - I will almost certainly never be heard from again

[TMF Jeff]

My Xbox 360 arrived today, may god have mercy on my soul...

 

[venray]

Oh NO! Not THAT!!!! Wait...dont open it.....stay awayyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!

 

[Moses25]

Good luck with alllll that, Jeff (as Seinfeld would say)...

Seriously though, be careful. Video games are dastardly beasts indeed, and, what, doesn't the 360 have not 1 but 3 super-duper processors or sumpin insane like that?

You've been warned.

Rotsa ruck, mate.

Cheers. 🙂

P.M.S. Anyone remember Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Atari, Vic 20, Commodore 64, Intellivision....anyone?

THAT good huh?

Good luck dragging yourself away from it, bossman. I had to just about give up the stuff what with hoe much time it was taking. Let us know if the system is worth the price tag.

What does that remind me of? Ah yes, Every OS Sucks. I knew it was a song of some sort...

 

[Grahf]

Bah.

Your nature is with us here in the temple of the da-.. TMF. A mere $500 system will not break your spirit!

I have heard since the main launch date of the xbox 360 that people that own it said that there has been many bugs in it that mircosoft didn't check twice about or skipped over (The games freezing up,the system itself crashing,it getting to hot if left unplayed for a period of time etc)

What a surprise. 🙄

Jeff, enjoy your Xbox 360, but don't forget about us. Thanks. 😀

I'm waiting for Playstation 3 myself...

it's nearly twice as powerful as the 360...


and...


METAL GEAR SOLID 4



enjoy your 360 jeff!

P.M.S. Anyone remember Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Atari, Vic 20, Commodore 64, Intellivision....anyone?

Yes, to most of those. I'm surprised this is the first time I get to mention how much of an utter gaming geek I am. I play almost anything I can get my effing hands on. I'm surprised I'm even on forums as much as I am. If I'm not working, or doing work for school, I'm either on a computer, playing an MMO (Everquest like games) or on my PS2.

Jeff: I haven't been a big XBox fan, so you go enjoy that. When the PS3 comes out, I will make my goodbyes because my eyes are going to be fucking glued to my TV set. 😀

 

[TMF Jeff]

I'll probably get a PS3 when they come out too, they'll both have proprietary games that I'm going to want to play. Elder Scrolls Oblivian is what made me want the 360, although now it's been delayed until feb, and Metal Gear 4 is definately what will drive me to the PS3.

I heard about all the bugs on the xbox, but so far mine seems to be working fine thank god 🙂

It's pretty awesome, but the graphics so far aren't blowing me away. I'd compare them to the very best of the xbox, like Splinter Cell 3. As time goes on and developers start to learn their way around the system it will get better, and some of the screen shots of Oblivian are almost photorealistic.

Your damn lucky! I don't put much stock into those systems unlike my two sons, but I'll tell ya I was working with a guy who had reserved it. He went to pick his up at the store and the lines were long as hell waiting for it to open. He got his and the store eventually sold out. He walked to his car, with his son, and was approached by a man who had to have it. The man offered him $1000.00 he said no I want $2000.00. turns out he sold it for $1700.00. He said he had a hell of a time explaining it to his kid. This could be an interesting thread.

As a kid, we had Atari in my house. One of my friends had Colecovision, another Intellivision. Next door neighbors had Commodore 64. As an adult, I had Sega Genesis but then my rabbit chewed through the cord and that was that.

I miss the good old days. I loved video games. Now I only want Nascar 2006 and a race chair.

I have more then enough money to burn on the xbox 360 with working and all. But i have never been into the whole action/shot'um up games. I have always soley stuck to the sports games. 😀

So i really don't know if i will be getting the xbox 360 or ps3. But i'll see as time goes on how both the xbox 360 and ps3 are selling and look.

If more games like Evil Dead or The suffering come out onto either the xbox 360 or ps3 i might change my mind though.....

I swear the suffering (both of them 1 and 2) need to be turned into a horror movie. Lots of gore and blood and psycho acid trips going on in that game. I was playing it tonight with my friend Greg who came down for christmas he bought it for his ps2.

I'll pass on any new console until I see how well it performs and what level of quality support it gets. I learned my lesson back in '93. I had bought an enhanced, rereleased system back then not only because of it's abilities but, to play CD games as well as carts. Soon after, software support was dropped. Unless you've had one of the systems that didn't make it, you wont understand what I'm talking about but, getting a console as soon as it comes out is usually a bad idea and the first wave often does have bugs and design flaws. I'm a fan of almost all systems but, if I had to choose a best one for every era, it would be the one that had the most success. A lot of newcomers and youngsters don't get that it's the games that will make or break a system just like me and my friends didn't get it back when we were arguing over bits, sprite sizes and scaling & rotation. The Dreamcast came out first too but, look what happened to it. It's still a great system but, Sega let it slip away. The same has happened to other systems too. I'm not predicting failure for the 360. I'm just saying that it's better to be patient and wait to see how it does.

word...lol.....hopefully it won`t cost twice as much.

i had pre-ordered the 360 months ago but last week i said fuck it and used the credit to get fifa 06 for ps2.

 

[some1somewhere]

I am not planning on getting an Xbox 360... but that will most likely change when Halo 3 comes out.

 

[AphxA]

I want it for gears of war. That is shaping up to a cool game.
