Congrats on your purchase of a $500 paperweight.

[Duk Dodgers]

^^ Ignore the wiifanboy. You made a good purchase. I have graw, doa4 and burnout and all are serving me well.

HAHAHA right on.


i almost thought about it then i decided to save my money. i could easily buy one and have money, i just dont like xbox, hear me out. lol

if it werent for Halo, nobody would even be talking about Xbox. Microsoft being an american company cant get the same licensing and game developers a company such as Sony can get overseas.

funny thing, xbox 360's caught fire and there was a re-call. not a sign of a good system. and I hope you dont get a hold of one where you have to download a patch to confuse the hardrive into running a different chipset.

anybody remember Sega Saturn? they bombed due to the disc format they used, they rushed their production to be one of the first "next gen" systems out. the industry used something else and games became very very expensive.

with the industry switching to blue ray dvd's very soon (which ps3 will be using) the same thing COULD (not saying it will) happen to 360. Whos one of the project designers of the 360? The same guy who developed the Saturn.


I'm sorry 360 to me, is nothing more then the Sega Dreamcast, a "next gen" system rushed out for quick profits.

not to mention that PS3 will be able to run at 1080p resolution. whats that? a resolution satelite nor cable can even broadcast yet.

cheers, have fun with your 360 but if your passing up on ps3 for 360 youve made a grave mistake.

oh and Nintendo Wii probably wont look as good as 360 but xbox will never be able to bring the nostalgia out of older gamers with the Franchise titles Nintendo will be barrading people with.

Nintendo Wii- an asinine name
Maybe it is pronounced "Double U, eye, eye", but to me I'd go with "wee".

I like to urinate, but don't want to buy it.

[LockDown24]

Congrats man, awsome purchase. Got mine back in Jan and have loved it since. Also check out Fight Night, its awsome when played with friends.

[Tight]

Just got it and I have to say I love it. For the wii fan boi, please send video of you swinging your controller around like an ape and screaming like a 6 year old when you get it.

I have one, make sure you get the extended warranty, it rolls smooth if you have problems, if you dont (i never used to) it is troublesome to get it going, I love it, pretty much I play Morrowwond, Halo 2, and Madden

I don't play video games often, but when I do it is exclusively sports games. PS3 would be the best way to go, correct?

[Tight]

From what you say, your more of a casual gamer. So get the 360 its cheaper and just as powerful and xbox live really is the greatest gaming community in the world.

If you don't mind the occasional game freezing and overheated console, spend the extra $100 if you want to keep the console longer than a year.

I have 360 and haven't had any issues with it. And what makes you think that PS3 wont have any issues when it comes out? all counsels do. Thats why they always have new generations of them.

How long? If you don't have a HD you should be ok and they already replaced the DVD drive in the system so later ones should be ok.....

I have now had it about 6 months. I have a HDTV, and its the only TV I use it with. DVD hasn't had a problem, but then again i dont use it to watch movies... thats what a DVD Player is for

Maybe you should change your avatar , the controller doesnt look like that anymore./

PS3's only real big advantage over 360 is the blue ray player. So if ur looking for a video game system and a high quality dvd player by all means go for the PS3. But if you're like me and just want to play video games on your system save yourself $200 (plus 6 months wait) and go for the 360. It will have all of the sports games, GTA, Halo, and some other cool games on it (Gears of War looks incredible). I might buy a Wii sometime in the future, but unless there is a severe price drop I highly doubt I will ever get a PS3.

considering it has a dvd player, that makes it what it is for as well. that would be like saying your computer isn't for listening to music since that isn't its primary purpose. guess I should just erase all my mp3's and remove itunes.

thats not how i meant it; i just meant that i have a DVD/Surround System on the TV that i use my 360 with.

[Tight]

This thing ceases to amaze me today I was bored so I said to myself put my mp3 player in the xbox, guess what it worked..... while I was online playing halo 2.

One thing though, when i was done playing it felt like i could cook and egg on it, really really hot.

[Martin&theJETS]

the only reason i would get an xbox 360 is for halo 3 and Morrowinds IIII olbivion.

Anyone who claims that "If it weren't for Halo..." is Ignorant to the facts.

I can Guarantee that Everyone on here hating XBOX has NEVER owned an XBOX.

The fact that they Bought an Inferior product in the ps2 and then the XBOX came in and took over and had a HUGE online community still stings them.

So anyone claiming that, please,
Don't hate on the XBOX. and the 360 especially, don't talk shit about a system you never even played. You sound very Ignorant

Because Nobody Plays HALO online!!!

Huh ? I do about 50,000 others also.

[Royal Tee]

Nope, The original HALO did NOT have online play. (Other than PC Link play)

HALO2 does and there is no way anyone can say that it was because of HALO that the XBOX was a success.
There was more to the original XBOX than HALO.
