Got the 360?
 
Not me. I might not get it till next year. (I'm aiming for the revolution. Sue me.). How is it?

Kimon 11-22-2005 05:47 PM

I'm hoping, for Christmas.

I'll probably wait till next year to get the 360. About the revolution I talked to a guy at gamestop they said they are going to take preorders as soon as january.:)

Cullen Heath 11-22-2005 10:29 PM

Oh the 360 is so nice, It has those awesome controllers and the great shape and graphics. Oh how I love the 360, man its great! they come with so many pieces and Xbox live and everything you could think of. They are great! But I dont have one.

Mojo 11-23-2005 04:42 AM

I'll be having one friday next week. Yay! I pre-ordered it :D.

Havoc 11-23-2005 05:41 AM

I'd like to have it. But I think the console war is getting a bit out of hand, and I don't feel like spending hundreds of euros on a console, thats going to be replaced again in less then a year. Buying consoles is starting to be a waste of time and money. Cuz you buy one for a few specific games. Then a new one comes out with even cooler games and you have to get rid of your old one.

I think I might just look for a used one on e-bay or something, or get one that fell of a truck. Cuz I'm no longer gonna pay a shitload of money for stuff like this.

metroixer 11-23-2005 06:30 AM

Which is why I want the revolution. It's gonna only be like 200$ or something.

OANST 11-23-2005 06:32 AM

I think that there is a good possibility that the 360 will fail. I'm going to wait about a year and see how it's doing then.

Dark Elite_H2 11-23-2005 06:33 AM

I'm jealous. Why couldn't the lil' bastards come down to DC? I could've gotten one...But yeah. You see the line-up of the games? Madden, they say, had to be the most dissappointing of the entire line-up. And so would my brother. He loves madden, like no other guy that's ga-ga over football. But the ones that caught my fancy was Condemned and Perfect Dark Zero. Those two looked only interestin' ter me. What 'bout everyone else? Waht games from the line-up you guys wanna get?

metroixer 11-23-2005 06:37 AM

I wanna get full auto. That game looks kickass.

LoboDiabloLoneWolf 11-23-2005 06:40 AM

Yer know, I'd be very happy to have an X-Box, man I wanna play Stranger's Wrath so bad! And I agree with Havoc's entire post. Don't you wish for the days where the consumers came first and all the games people weren't just trying to out do each other? *sigh*

Dark Elite_H2 11-23-2005 06:42 AM

Yeah. I ain't surprised that Halo and Halo 2 is on the 360, 'cause it's what people play. But Stranger's Wrath and Munch's Oddysee, NOT on the 360? It makes me angry :fuzmad: Hopefully, one day, they'll format it to let the Oddworld games be formattable on the 360. We ALL hope, don' we?

Cullen Heath 11-23-2005 08:32 AM

Hey guys go to General Oddworld Disscusion and look at Xavier's new thread, hes got a great idea for this!

OANST 11-23-2005 01:42 PM

I don't want to. :(

Godlesswanderer 11-23-2005 01:53 PM

I've pre-ordered one but apparently I'd one of the 'unlucky few' to have to wait until the second shipping which will probably be after the winter holiday we like to call Christmas.

Mojo 11-24-2005 12:14 AM

Oye, that sucks. I just hope I'm on the first Dutch shipping. Then I get the remote!

Alcar 11-24-2005 12:49 AM

Next March.

Alcar...

Cyber-Slig 11-24-2005 08:02 AM

Ordered mine from Amazon. Coming in time for Christmas.

Kimon 11-24-2005 10:07 AM

From what I've heard, there have been some defects. Overheating, games crashing within 5 minutes... bad stuff. I may wait till those porblems get fixed.

Gosh, same as me. I preodered from GAME a few days after the first allocation cut off date. Hopefully, I'll get the console before the end of the year.

Leto 11-25-2005 12:21 PM

There's only one game I intend to purchase for the console, and that's coming out for PC, so I don't think that's justification for $700.

I'll probably be coaxed into buying one anyway...

metroixer 11-25-2005 12:37 PM

It's Oblivion isn't it?

Leto 11-25-2005 01:43 PM

No, it's Halo 3.

Oh shit mate, I'm stuck in your guitar.
You can't talk.
Rururruff!
I know, I know, your hungry; But I can't fit a beef sheild in there, so, um... There's some strings in front of you, just eat them.

metroixer 11-25-2005 03:38 PM

Halo 3 is coming for the pc? :confused:

Leto 11-25-2005 07:33 PM

:rolleyes:

Dino 11-26-2005 07:46 AM

The 360 is a console, so no. The only console I can put up with is the Xbox, and even that gets boring after a while.

Abe 01 11-26-2005 08:27 AM

if you buy i now youd spent millions on games controls and extra stuff, then the next xbox will come out and well just chuck the 360 on the shelve with all that money wasted

Leeum 11-26-2005 01:51 PM

Never buy a new console straight away. I remember when I bought a PS2 in the first few weeks of its release, paid £300 and I was only 10 or something :/

Needless to say, I'll be giving my money to Sony for a new console. PS3 and MGS4 FTW! :)

metroixer 11-26-2005 01:58 PM

P-p-p-p-p *twitch* p-p-p-p-p *twitch again* a ps3? Ah well if it's for MGS4 and you ain't a sony fan then I won't snap on you. (Why won't konami give metal gear love to the 360? :/)

Leto 11-26-2005 02:02 PM

I thought you were getting a Revoltingpollution...? No need for 360 MGS pointless-porting-ness.

Why doth you hate Sony so much.

Leto 11-26-2005 03:29 PM

Fanboyism, dear chappie. It consumes and inhabits us all.

PLACEBO FTW DAVID BOWIE FTW APHEX TWIN FTW ETC.

metroixer 11-26-2005 04:11 PM

Meh meh SM. Heh SM (super metroid :P). Anyway I am getting the revolution first and then zee 360. It will be cheaper I hope.

EDIT: Oh and I hate sony for all the attention it's getting. I mean really. In my neighborhood if you don't have a ps2 (I don't) or won't get a ps3 people will call you gay. I'm serious. They come in your house. They don't see a ps3 they will be all like "OMGZOERS!! YouU Nat Hev TEh Ps2!!111! Joo ArE all of teh Gazzorz and shtuff!" If you have a GAMECUBE well let's just say it will not be pretty. I wish sony computer entertainment would burn to the ground. I hate Ken Kutaragie.

Dino 11-26-2005 04:29 PM

Also playstations are genuinely crap. Need for speed is good for about half an hour, after that, what's the point? What major titles does PS have going for it that make it work buying over other consoles?

If you've got a good enough PC you might as well just play PC games. Keyboard and mouse controls are much easier to use anyway.

Leto 11-26-2005 07:10 PM

Call me 'gay', (yes, yes, homosexualness, ahuh) but I quite liked the PS1. Quite a lot. Skullmonkeys, Oddworld, there was a lot of good shit going on about it. But PS2 wasn't nearly as good, the games weren't as good. Well, most. Ico and several others were good.

But saying a console is stupid because of it's games is like saying an instrument is stupid because you don't like a song played on it.

Actually Super Munch I do have a playstation. Now that was a condole there. Alas sony sincerely screwed up the PS2. Also yes I have played it and...Well it just doesen't match the PS1 IMHO.

Yeah, well, what if you DON'T have an uber PC, and DON'T have the money to buy one, and it's upgrades?

That isn't justification for blatant fanboyism.

Well then, a console is a rather tasty option.
...and don't leave out all the tasty details... The red hole, oh yes.

used:) 11-30-2005 07:44 PM

Well, if you can't get one now, start saving so you can afford the next cooler console in the next four years. Anway, fuck the 360, loks like a sex toy anyhow :P. I would be happy with a regular Xbox at the moment. Meh, I will proably just get some games for my cube this Christmas. Does anyone know when the revolution is supposed to come out?

metroixer 12-15-2005 09:34 AM

Revolution is somewhere about next year during the spring I think...
