Best game system
I want the Xbox 360 And I think it will be the best game system.What is your favorite game system? http://www.totalnextgen.com/ http://www.xbox360.com/
|
I'm not sure, I can't tell right now.
|
Seeing as how the 360 is the only system we really know anything about we can't make an accurate assumption as of yet.
I'll be getting the 360 for Gears of War and TES IV: Oblivion, though. |
Is that the controller of the probably soon to be Playstation 3? it looks like a boomarang.

And yet it still has the same ol' boring controls. 'X,O, square triangle, X,X.'
|
I'm getting the 360 myself, i don't care why...
|
I'll probably get the 360, but I want to know more about the PS3 before I pick which to get.
|
If the PS3 has backwards compatibility I'll get it to play my current games on. If it only plays PS3 games I won't be buying any new console.
|
^^ Yeah I feel similar. The thing about the Xbox 360 is that right now there's this load of b****cks that backwards compatibility for it is pointless and not needed, but built in online features are better. That's a laod of crap, built in online will cost more as you'll have to get all the cables, connections etc. for it, and without backwards compatibility your game selection is more limited at the start and you can't sell your old system.

EDIT:^New title Woot! |
As I said the Elder Scrolls thread, I'll probably end up buying an Xbox360 for ES4: Oblivion and Condemned: CO alone. The 360 is looking far inferior to the PS3 at the moment, though.
Depending on which console(s) the next Silent Hill and Resident Evil games will come out on, my decision could be swayed one way or the other. Regardless, I'm not buying anything right away; it would probably be wise to feel the next-gen console market out a bit before buying. |

^If we had a rep system I'd give you some for that.
Actually the 360 has better and more features and it's graphics blow PS3 out of the water no wait the ocean! |

XBOX 360:
Specs The controller, the camera, the headset, the camera, and even the console itself...there have been a lot of Xbox 360 leaks so far. Now, it seems a full list of Xbox 360 specs and Xbox Live details has been leaked. This list comes from a thread on the Team Xbox forums (the thread has since been deleted), and the TXB poster originally got it from another un-named forum. 2 types of Xbox Live: Xbox Live Silver (no subscription required) Xbox Live Gold (subscription benefits) Features for Gold service (S) Also for Silver (O) Also for Offline - Seamless transition to Xbox Live account from Xbox to Xbox 360 - Access to MMOs (additional fees may apply) (S) - Free Xbox Live weekends (S) - Multiplayer online gameplay - Avatar for gamer profile(S)(O) - Motto for gamer profile (S)(O) - Personalized look for Xbox System Guide (S)(O) - Offline achievments (S)(O) - Online achievements (S) - Access to other players' Gamer cards via Live (S) - Cumulative gamer score (S)(O) - Location/language profile (S)(O) - Reputation (S) - Enahnced matchmaking using above - Skill level matchmaking - Gameplay style profile (casual, competitive, etc.) - Recent players list (S) - Free and premium download game content(S) - Free and premium downloadable movies, music, tv (S) - Downloadable demos/trailers (S) - Microtransactions (S) - Custom playlist in every game (S)(O) - Play music from portable devices (S)(O) - View images from digital camera (S)(O) - Strem media from Windows XP (S)(O) - Interactive screen savers (S)(O) - Track info for CDs (S) (O) - Communication with voice, video or text (S) The Hardware: 1.

Wi-Fi ready Custom IBM PowerPC-based CPU - 3 symmetrical cores at 3.2 GHz each - 2 hardware threads per core - 1 VMX-128 vector unit per core - 1 MB L2 cache CPU Game Math Performance - 9 billion dots per second Custom ATI Graphics Processor - 500 MNz - 10 MB embedded DRAM - 48-way parallel floating-point shader pipelines - unified shader architecture Memory -512 MB GDDR3 RAM - 700 MNz DDR Memory Bandwidth - 22.4 GB/s memory interface bus bandwidth - 256 GB/s memory bandwidth to EDRAM - 21.6 GB/s frontside bus Audio - Mulitchannel surround sond output - Supports 48khz 16-bit audio - 320 independent decompression channels - 32 bit processing - 256+ audio channels To sum up the important stuff regarding XBL: There will be two versions of Xbox Live. Silver is free (everyone gets it), and Gold is a paid subscription, like the current XBL. It looks like Xbox Live will be free on the weekends for everyone; Gold members will get it all the time, obviously. Current Xbox Live accounts will carry over to the 360 and become Gold Xbox Live accounts. Both Gold and Silver members will be able to download demos, trailers, and other content through XBL. This info seems pretty legit, and some insiders have confirmed that this is indeed a real leak. At this rate, you have to wonder if Microsoft will have anything left to reveal at the MTV unveiling on May 12! PLEASE POST ALL REPLIES HERE NOW! PRICE! he sweet spot for the cost of a new console at launch is $299. This is a good estimate of what a core package will cost for Xbox 360. Right now we know that every system comes with a twenty gigabyte hard drive. The system is DVD ready out of the box and we have seen the remote, but there is no word on whether that will come packaged with the console. The bundle has become an incredibly popular sales technique, so don't be surprised to see more comprehensive bundles that include controllers and peripherals for around $500. |

We still haven't seen any games running on the PS3, so who knows. I've seen the specs, and comparison charts, they seem pretty close. The systems handle the technology in different ways, so it's really anybody's guess on what they can squeeze out of the two consoles. Microsoft and Sony are both spewing out all kinds of rhetoric, so I don't know who to believe.
Don't triple post you prick, you know the rules. Why didn't you just edit the original post? |
^ Because A:I would have been given out to for doing that too
B:It would have been confusing. |
:
:
Anyway, those specs are A: Not reliable and B: Hard to compare because there are way too many variables to be messed with. Considering all that stuff, like integrated cores and different types of memeory and graphics cards, we can't really tell what will have better graphics. Besides, we haven't seen any real game footage for the PS3, so again, you can't decide. |
I've seen 360 (it was a demo showing the graphics on the new version of Kameo:Elements of Power which is being released on 360 because it's so close the graphics looked so real.
|
I've seen the 360 as well, and there are a ton of beautiful games (Kameo being one of the less beautiful in my opinion), but we still can't compare it to the PS3.
|
^ Seeing as they haven't shown anthing yet, yes I agree.

:
Once Halo 3,Ghost Recon 3,TES IV,etc come out are you really gonna care about that old Xbox? I mean,sure it'll be great to play all your old games on your new fancy Xbox 360...but why? Your not going to wanna look at that old thing after a month or two at the most,so really you should think about it more. |
And we wouldn't want to play H2?.
|
Why? So you can take a stroll down memory lane? Good luck finding anyone on Live. If you really want to play it again then just keep your Xbox..simple.
|
Yes but not everyone has live.
|
Then you'd have to find freinds who still remember Halo 2 and who want to play it OR you can play single player again which most people hated cause they didnt wanna play as an elite but like i said if you REALLY wanna continue playing that game then keep your old Xbox until you do get sick of it.
