Who's gettin a xbox 360?

[duncan_21]

I was wonderin who's gettin a 360. I'm torn between wainting a few months or looking around at local stores to see if I can buy one on launch day.

If I didn't have a hdtv I would stay away and enjoy my xbox, pc, and ps2.

I definitely won't be the idiot buying them off ebay for too much.

[batman2883]

I Will Be Purchasing Both The Ps3 And The Xbox 360.....hell Freaking Yeah Buddy.......im What The Spainiards Would Call En Fuegohttp://www.familyguyquotes.com/images/cleveland_tn.jpg

[Marklar MM]

It is called...Progressive Waiting. Wait a few months, and let the price drop down.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I'm willing to purchase one from somebody here that can find one in case I can't.

I'm hitting up every store in SM on launch day...screw class.

[Vashner]

Xbox360 is gonna make me rich.....
I hope to have at least 1 title published on it by early 2007.

People will be able to browse games. Pick mine and pay for it. Then they get access to the game download with the internet connection.

Got to love that thing.

Edit: little note... Basically a high end pixel shader based PC video game today... that runs on DirectX 9.0 and Win 32 API's.. can be converted to run on xbox 360.. which is basically a gimped portable shader pc.

I wouldn't touch any product from MS if avoidable.
And the xbox360 is avoidable by sticking with current boxes until Sony's next gen box is out.

If I were a MS client, I'd avoid ANY super-complex, totally new MS product RUSHED to market. Can 360's firmware be upgraded on line? There will certainly be 10s or 100s of bugs.

I realize sanity and perspective don't apply to electronic gaming. :)

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Rushed to market? Wake the fuck up. It's been in development for 3 years.

But you want to sit around and wait for Sony's vaporware :rolleyes

Considering it has online capabilities(I think also internet), I am sure you can upgrade.

[N.Y. Johnny]

I'm going to get one as soon as it comes out and probably just play it for a week and let it sit there gathering dust

I still prefer PC Gaming myself so i'll try it out to see whats up.

[PM5K]

I am planning on getting one for my son for Christmas, I don't think I'll get one at launch because I have some reservations and because I also won't be able to use it for a month anyhow.

I saw an issue with the 360 that I saw where it would take forever to load, I was told it was a specific issue with the demo units and I could certainly understand if there was an issue with a demo unit but I honestly don't think they differ much if at all from what we'll see at retail launch.

An Xbox 360 with a high def tv looks beautiful, and the second generation of games is going to be flat out awesome.

I mean I'm still impressed with Ninja Gaiden, the 360 will only be better.

[Mixability]

have 3 on preorder....

[Duncan21]

i will be getting the two of them aswell, xbox360 and ps3

[2pac]

Can someone loan me $800 for the xbox 360 and some games? I swear I will pay you back when I get my student loans in January.

[N.Y. Johnny]

does anyone have the PSP???

I have one and I am not satisfied with it..i think it sucks a big fat elephant cock

[midgetonadonkey]

I shall be purchasing one and calling in sick that day to play it nonstop for at least 15 hours, or until I pass out drunk, which ever comes first.

[TDMVPDPOY]

when u gettin, tell me i wait outside to jump yah

[boutons]

"It's been in development for 3 years."

People have been, for years, tired of finding/suffering from MS OS/Office bugs, and those products were in development for many years. Who says 3 years is enough? Maybe 4 or 5 years is what it takes. Software (firmware in consle terms) is NEVER done right the first time around.

A product isn't vaporware until its misses its launch date (or if it really doesn't exist).

[ZStomp]

I have never owned a game unit. Ever. Not even Atari/First Nintendo....never been into games.

:lol

Paging Mr Jim..Mr Jim. You have a telephone call on line 1.

[Shaolin-Style]

I was thinking about doing it but my comp has started making funny noises, I'm too paranoid about that to spend money on a console, i'll wait til price drops

[Cant_Be_Faded]

rich bastards

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

And what kind of glitches were all of us Xbox owners subjected to? The only one I can think of is the "glitch" of not getting the GTA line at the same time as PS2 owners.

I somehow managed to find a way to survive that :rolleyes

Well the PS3 has had its launch date pushed back twice already, but I guess that doesn't count for our resident Sony cheerleader (boutons).

[boutons]

I don't defend Sony. If Sony has missed the launch date, the box is vaporware.

Vaporware also applies to extremely premature new product announcements, which product often had the tendency never to be released, esp software in the 90s.

[midgetonadonkey]

rich bastards

I'm not rich, my financial prioritites are just really screw up.

[CharlieMac]

I'm all over that shit.

[Duncan21]

for those who don't know the ps3 will be twice as powerful as the xbox360

[KEDA]

Already got mine on pre-order form Gamestop

[midgetonadonkey]

for those who don't know the ps3 will be twice as powerful as the xbox360

Not true. The only edge the PS3 has over the Xbox 360 is the Graphics Core Clock Speed which is 550 Mhz for the PS3 and 500 Mhz for the Xbox 360. The System and Video memory in the Xbox is actually twice that of the PS3. The PS3 will have 256 MB of each while the Xbox will have 512 MB of each.

[Shaolin-Style]

I believe ps3 is a good little bit more powerful than xbox360, but xbox360 will still have just as good graphics. If you've kept up on the news for ps3 that is.

[Vashner]

Sony is being it's usual jerk about the API (they don't want just anyone making a PS game)...
You know like they are the only company to fight DVD format.. Compact Flash standard format.. memory formats etc...

They don't want customers to have universal things. .they want to sell you only Sony crap.

[E20]

I've come to the conclusion that the X-BOX is the white mans' console.

[Vashner]

LOL that's stupid.. For one I was at the Austin game conf this week and talked to the Xbox staff. They are very nice and development is open to ANYONE!...

PS3 will be a good console. But they Sony people are assholes for the most part.

If you where not white.. go talk to the Xbox folks and tell them you want to make a game. They will tell you sure. PS3 staff will tell you to fuck off poor man.

[E20]

We all have our diff opnions. Frankly, I can't tell how you guys know which console is going to better when they haven't came out yet.

[Vashner]

They can tell because the products are about to go into production. Are well covered by the media. And you have to lock in software development API's a LONG time before consoles go to market. Otherwise you would not have any launch games.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

for those who don't know the ps3 will be twice as powerful as the xbox360

:lmao

Straight from a buddy of mine who programs for EA Sports:


The only difference between the 360 and the PS3 is that the people at Sony are bigger assholes to work with.

[E20]

Something that is quite known is that you can never trust what is at all the game shows. A game that looks awesome at the Expo/Convention can suck when released.

[Tres_Till_it_MHz]

Jo Tambien, I want the PSTres as well.....

[duncan_21]

for those who don't know the ps3 will be twice as powerful as the xbox360

Yeah, OK, sony fanboy anyone.

All logic tells me I should wait at least a few months. I still have a pc that I built a year ago that plays newer games with all settings high and probably most new games with most settings turned up.

I should just save some $ and play my xbox and pc for awhile.

[boutons]

ABB anybody but bush
ABM anything but micrssoft

[Vashner]

LOL I was experimenting and made a duncan shader..

This example pic is running in unified shader model on my pc (ready to port to X360).

[T Park]

Got mine on order from Amazon.

Supposedly ships next tuesday, and I get it wednesday.

I got NBA Live Madden Tiger Woods, and my spare Wireless controller in the mail today.


Along with my Busch Stadium seats! :)

[midgetonadonkey]

The Wal-Mart on Military has an Xbox 360 set up to play, there were a few people waiting for it so I didn't get a chance to try it out but the graphics were badass. I think they were playing the new Call of Duty. I am considering getting one but $400 is a lot to shell out.

[mcornelio]

and for those who dont know the ps3 is going to still suck becuase its made for japanese fucks who cant afford american muscle

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

And it's (PS3) going to have a fucked up version of Sony's digital rights management shit that's all over the news right now too.

There's even a rumor going around that the games will have a one time pad/key combo to it, so that you can only play it in the first box you put it in.

That's the place to get it when it comes out. Seriously. I couldn't find the PS2 or Xbox when they came out a few years ago anywhere in this city. Sure enough, there were many available on the southside.

I dont buy jerseys for people that treat their wives like they do and defend thieves.



grow up man. everyone makes mistakes

Uh, reverse that saying onto yourself man, Im not the one crawling back here cause my wife threw me out and told me to straighten things out.

I totally agree. I am going to wait for the PS3. I am confident it's going to be a superior system but the main reason I want to wait is because I hate learning new joystick controls. I really like the Playstation design.

[JoeChalupa]

Way too expensive for my cheap ass.

[Vashner]

They do need to work on the price. Should come down after 1st year.

The ideal console should be 100-150 bucks not 300-500. Because of how much money you make off the software per unit.
