Thinking about buying a 360.
 
Should I? Also which 360 should I buy since there's like fifty different bundles now, I saw the Spring bundle in the store the other day, I'm thinking about buying that one or should I wait for the new model (shiny black one)

OANST 06-29-2010 12:19 PM

Get the goodest one.

Daxter King 06-29-2010 01:14 PM

Get the newest model, I hear its the best.

Crashpunk 06-30-2010 01:33 PM

I don't wanna start a console war again but i think PS3 is much better.

But if your hearts set on a 360, I suggest the Slim model. its very good

MeechMunchie 07-01-2010 08:39 AM

OANST 07-01-2010 09:18 AM

Josh 07-01-2010 09:31 AM

OANST 07-01-2010 09:35 AM

Daxter King 07-01-2010 10:19 AM

I have a Gamecast.

OANST 07-01-2010 10:43 AM

I have a Dreamcube.

Edit: That's a much better name for a console than either of the real console names.

Why not?

Wings of Fire 07-03-2010 01:28 PM

I love how image memes make posts so much intelligent and worthwhile to look at.

You know?

Bullet Magnet 07-03-2010 03:29 PM

Apparently, the new one shouldn't red-ring. It has worthwhile solder, and being a different size and shape one can only assume that they elected to position of the most heat-sensitive components away from the hottest parts, as opposed to directly adjacent to them as in the original model.

Is it so hard to just stick with a PC?

Apparently yes......Tough, the red ring of "death" can be repaired...God Damn you youtube!

Hazel-Rah 07-04-2010 01:28 PM

Thanks guys I bought the Spring Bundle it's cool it came with two games I actually wanted to try, I only played it a little 'cause I'm in the process of moving and dn't have internet at home.

Anyway I look foward to playing XBL with you guys.

Oh and I have two Dreamcasts :)

We should have a thread for that and it should be stickied.

Hazel-Rah 07-04-2010 02:15 PM

Yeah I know, right?

BTW my 360 was a "core system" that came with games so I just need a: hard drive, headset, and subscription. I can pick all that up on eBay, once I get internet back. Anyway I'm out for a while, happy fourth of July to my wasteful, over-consuming American friends, go get drunk and play with fireworks!

The Crappin' Elum 07-05-2010 10:54 AM

WHY DID YOU DO IT?YOU DIDN'T HEED MY WARNING AND NOW YOU SHALL FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR FOOLISH ACT LET THY TROLLS DEVOUR YOUR SOUL....

OANST 07-05-2010 10:56 AM

He's still here, isn't he?

Leto 07-07-2010 04:39 AM

Return it, I hear they are quite shoddy.

Hazel-Rah 07-09-2010 11:22 AM

Indeed good sir, I returned it and found the 60gb at Walmart, because that's where a high class guy like me shops. It didn't break or anything but core systems are a rip-off in the long run, I got around to pricing hard drives you see.

I'm not gonna have internet at my house 'till the 14th though (leeching off free WiFi FTW!) so no Live, but I like Halo 3 and I played Lego Indianna Jones with my nephew which was fun.

smartlamppost 07-11-2010 01:34 AM

Get a 3do; it's the only REAL game console, all those other ones are baby toys.

Phylum 07-11-2010 05:14 AM

I used to love Gex and Army Men (no matter what the reviews say) for the 3DO. Those were the days...

Leto 07-12-2010 02:14 AM

I, too, used to love Gay Sex.

Hazel-Rah 07-14-2010 03:19 PM

Psh! 3DO, yeah if you have tin ears maybe, return it and get yourself a Saturn with a pair of Sennheisers!

I have internet! My Xbox Live gamertag is xHAZEL RAHx

All I have is Halo 3 right now though

OANST 07-15-2010 08:57 AM

My account has reverted to silver and Abbey's kitten ate my headset. I will fix this soon.

Hazel-Rah 07-15-2010 11:11 AM

Augh don't even talk to me about headsets, I'm already having problems with the one that came with my 360 and I already went through THREE fucking bluetooth headsets for my PS3 >_>

I also used to have a shit ton of problems with that piece that plugged into the controller for the mic on the original Xbox, I'm just cursed with those thing.

Cat-On

Apply directly to the forehead.

Havoc 07-21-2010 07:15 PM

I'm strongly considering selling my 1st generation Xbox (one of the first batches ever made I think) and getting the new Xbox 360, if only for the sound reduction. Every time I turn it on I'm afraid it may take off and fly right out of its cabinet, even after replacing the fans with supposed quieter ones. The built in Wifi, Kinect and 250GB storage are a nice upgrade too compared to the 20GB I currently have which I can't even install more than 2 games on :(.

Decisions, decisions.

Nate 07-21-2010 08:24 PM

Why not sell your current 360 to get a new 360? Why do you need both?

Where's Alcar?

On topic:
You could've just waited some more time so you can gather up a little more money and get a PS3! Sony keeps their promises while microsoft doesn't
There will not be any project Natal(and even if it's going to be,there will not be any Milo). Playstation move is being released in September while microsoft is sitting on their desks scratching their anus....Imagine playing heavy rain with move...Pure awesomeness,Killzone 3 is coming out in 3D too, Sony is will be launching their 3D glasses soon,PSP GO (best portable console from SONY NOT MICROSOFT),Obviously MIcrosoft is specialized in computers not gaming and consoles!

Hazel-Rah 07-21-2010 11:54 PM

NOBODY WANTS A FUCKING PS3 HERE!!!

Oh and my 360 runs quiet, I think there are some internal differences between 60GB and 20GB models. I only paid 200 USD for my 360, I don't really need the WiFi (although it would be nice) and to be honest I didn't want another glossy black game console, the white 360 contrasts my PS3 nicely and it reminds me of Dreamcast <3

Bullet Magnet: I've been reading up on the solder they use in today's components and apparently companies will purposely use insufficient amounts of solder so their shit breaks on you and you're forced to buy more, what ever happened to establishing brand loyalty through quality? Ah globalization!

Get COD 6

Hazel-Rah 07-22-2010 01:41 AM

Hell no. Resistance > COD

I hate COD, I especially hate how everyone seems to be playing it, I would rather play nothing than COD.
