 Topic: xbox 360
Posted: May 04 2006 at 08:32 |
Been a long time since i posted a thread and given the serious nature of some topics covered of late its a little frivolous but...
has anyone bought the xbox 360 yet..?
just got one myself along with a vga cable to hook it up to my monitor,im playing "Elder Scrolls 4, Oblivion" and its just AAAAwesome!!
i also hear that microsoft are bringing out an even more powerful version of the 360 to capitalise on Sony's problems with the ps 3 but i dont know whether this is true or not....

Yeah, I have elder scrolls, Ghost Recon, and Perfect Dark Zero...
p.s. in elder scrolls, I am an orc specializing in hand-to-hand combat, and I rock! Also, I am doing conjuration, so I can summon me some kewl daedric sh*t.

Same here, I also have to say that what I've seen of the Xbox360, it doesnt look like as big a jump up from the old Xbox as I would have expected. PS3 is going to wipe the floor with it, again

I'm getting suspicious of that. Killzone 1 was laughable overhyped and not a peep has been heard of Killzone 2 since last E3. Hopefully this one will bring good things. Also, the price of the PS3, which has been estimated modestly at over $500, is still an enormous question.

What was the launch price of PS and PS2 in the US? here we've heard £300, witch is the same as the previous 2 machines. I thought KZ was a really good game, though its controle system left a little to be desired. As for hearing nothing from KZ2 since E3, well its going to be like that with a lot of the PS3 launch games as theres still 5 months before the machine comes out.

I think the price of past systems is irrelevent, especially when the 360 cost at most $400, and there are rumors of a price drop already to combat the PS3 launch (though I doubt those are true). The Wii (formerly Nitendo Revolution) is going to be a big hit for loyal gamers and will have many niche games. Also it is rumored to be very cheap, less than the 360 Core price of $300. These compound the trouble the PS3 will have if it doesn't lower it's price. Consider too hat the 360 had (much like the PS2) an early start, with many great games out and more on the way. The PS3 won't flounder, surely, but unles the graphics end up being much better than the 360's, it will not win the battle.

well i always buy both consoles, and yes i have a Xbox 360, i really like it, specially Madden. i cant wait for madden 2007, and for the PS3 too...
The only problem i have with the PS3 is that a lot of people are saying that the console will be so powerful that even wiith the best HD screen you will not be able too see all the features of the console.. i mean it will be more tech advanced than the HD screens or TV´s of the time....
anyway i love PlayStation and il buy it anyway

At the moment I have my PC, Xbox and Gamecube for gaming and I must say the Xbox has been the machine I use the least. The original Xbox crown jewel was Halo which also came out on the PC anyway.
My PC also has Half-life 2 and loads of other decent FPS + RPGs like Oblivion and Fable.
Which is why I won't bother getting a 360 plus the games are close to 50 pounds in the UK. Way too expensive.... IMHO.
My Gamecube has the most original and exclusive titles for console gamming so I may get there new console, plus the controller looks like fun.
We will see I suppose, why rush, all these consoles will price drop big time by the end of the year.

Hey Stonie, how do you find the controllers for the 360, I've used them once and found too many buttons in a silly layout, plus I think the controllers too big to be particuly comfortable on an extended gaming spree.
