Wrong forum stupid question. Google is your friend.

Zerox 09-20-2007 10:26 AM

Xbox 360 has gone down to the Wii's price, £179.99. I believe MO works on it, though the sound's supposed to be iffy...oh, and Halo 3.

And what Hobo said.

AlienMagi 09-20-2007 11:12 AM

and stranger s wraith works on it?

Nemo 09-20-2007 11:18 AM

I honestly can't tell you if a 360 is worth it because it all depends on how you use it.

I can, however, tell you that I'm quite happy with mine.

Wrong thread.
SW doesn't work yet.
And buy it, buy it NOW.

AlienMagi 09-20-2007 11:43 AM

okay........

Nemo 09-20-2007 12:55 PM

Gragh, just downloaded an update, now the 360 won't even start.

Godammicrosoft.

Mac Sirloin 09-20-2007 01:15 PM

Is it plugged in?
Just kidding, wait for the patch.

Nemo 09-20-2007 01:19 PM

How will I know when it's out?
More importantly, how will I even get the thing while my 360 is like this?

Mac Sirloin 09-20-2007 01:28 PM

:D
Oh fack.
Well, very impeded thinking on my part.

mr.odd 09-20-2007 01:55 PM

if you just want it for those two you might not want to buy it

Daxter King 09-20-2007 07:54 PM

Wait till they start putting the new chips in, they should fix some of the hardware failure.

Also, as to the update, all it did to mine was eat all my other games updates.

Marvak 09-20-2007 10:38 PM

I'm willing to buy it just to whore out on Halo 3, and eventually Halo Wars. Halo 3 has gourgeus grapics, and the cinematic scenes from Halo Wars are just like it's straight out of a movie. *drools*

Patrick Vykkers 09-20-2007 11:02 PM

Xbox 360 is exactly the same as Xbox with a few new games, slightly better graphics and more costly. Don't buy it except if you are a Halo/Gears of War fanboy.

mudling 09-20-2007 11:04 PM

Hmm, I want one, however my mum, xbox hater and control freak isn't letter me get one, however, I first have to convince her that my house wont get trashed if I have a party, and then I can try to convince her to let me get one, lol.

And I suppose the PS3 is completely different?



Although, I would like a PS3 just for the quality games that are going to come out (Little Big Planet, Force Unleashed, etc. etc.,) and for some of the games that have already come out (Mainly, Shadow of the Colossus.)

looney-bin 09-21-2007 03:58 AM

360>PS3. The 360 already has quite alot of games you can get stuck into (Gears of War, Viva Pinata, Battle for Middle Earth 2, etc.) whilst the PS3 has very few games and most of the titles promised don't come out until atleast 08.

Is that why most of the people who bought Xbox 360s didn't have an Xbox.



PS3 is a shiny pile of shit.

AlienMagi 09-21-2007 07:04 AM

Anyone heard of a game assasin s creed?This is the best gaME in the world.Check on youtube.And we can't play it without Xbox 360, PS3 or very veryyyyyyyyyyyyy VEEEERYYYY good computer.Thats why i want to buy 360

Fuzzle King 09-21-2007 08:33 AM

yes that game does look pretty good...but im looking forward to 26th september...HALO 3

o and personally i love my 360 and think they are the best console around.

Laser 09-21-2007 09:37 AM

Yesit is worth getting a 360
oh and assains Creed will own

i mean i even heard rockstar withdrew GTA4 for there original date because of assains creed as a lot of potentional to over-shadow and out sell it

AlienMagi 09-21-2007 09:38 AM

Do you REALLY expect Sony to come out of the market with a year's worth of great games?

I mean, yes, the PS3 doesn't have much compared to the 360, but that's because the 360 came out nearly an entire year before it.

Zerox 09-22-2007 01:50 AM

But Sony really did kick themselves in the arse with that price...and no one really cares for blu ray, either...that's why more GBA's are still selling than PS3's (really).

360's price has gone down to £180 recently, and I want one partly also because I never had the original Xbox.

And obviously Halo. If you own a 360 and aren't getting Halo 3, well...there isn't such a person. in existence, even.

No. My opinions are the same on the PS3. And the Wii is a masturbatory optical joystick, nothing more.

Strike Witch 09-22-2007 04:55 AM

Patrick here, he's a REAL man. and REAL men by their own Arcade machines.

Mm-hmm.

skillyaslig 09-22-2007 02:13 PM

well, i'm gonna get one...have to wait for christmas though! :crying: I want halo and pinatas!

Mac Sirloin 09-23-2007 12:17 PM

PSP, I don't regret it at all.

though having a Wii as well would be nice.

Bullet Magnet 09-25-2007 01:21 PM

It's all about what games exist on each platform, and which you want to play. Don't get caught up in the fanboyism, it's childish on all fronts. I'm a PlayStation man myself, though I have a 360 and no PS3 because the XBox is what currently offers what I personally want from gaming. Likewise, whilest I've never owned any Nintendo hardware, I still admire the innovation of the Wii. It just doesn't fit my personal preferences.
