Sorry to revive a 2 month old thread but I saw no point in starting another one only to be told it could have gone in here.

So, has anyone pre-ordered their Xbox 360 yet? The only reason I'm asking really is because I have and I simply want to show off

. Plus I want to know who else is actually getting one

I've pre-ordered and paid for my Xbox360 and copy of Oblivion. All I have to do is pay for the tax on the Xbox360 (probably around $40) when I get there and its mine.

You know, I still haven't heard if you need to buy a battery and a charger for the wireless controller. I mean, I assume that it comes with one battery and can be charged through the cord on the XB360, but you never know...

Aww... poor Nintendo hasn't got any votes...

Oh sweet Jeebus, the Nintendo Revoloution controller sucks major anus. It's a remote and a joystick. Sometimes Nintendo are a little too edgy...

No ****ing way am I preordering a EckzBockz36-y if you can only preorder the bundles, and that's what I've been told. So I'll have to rush in first day and pray there's one there.

You don't have to pre-order the bundles, you can get the Core or Premium package bundle-free, I'm quite sure. I'll be getting the Premium, no dizz-oubt.

And yes, Revolution controller is teh SuX. Reminds me of Dreamcast. *shudder*

Any day before the other day, I would've said Xbox 360.
Now I know what the Revolution's controller is, and I want it sooo much. It's ****ing awesome.

A lot of people don't realise the potential of their controller... well, it's ****ing awesome, and worthy of the name, Revolution, as well as, indeed, Awesome Controller Console.

Nindendo all the way.

<3 Nintendo to the maxx!!1 But I realy think this is a little bit too different... It's a remote with an 'A' button, and a joystick. Seems more like a first person DVD player to me.

<3 DS, GBA, SNES and nearly every other Nintendo console.

Gom! I have been grossly misinformed!

The graphics on the PS3 and Xbox 360 are going to be pretty much the same.

God, I hope so. That'll put all those raving Sony lunatics where they belong.

In, um, not-bragging land.

I don't know about you guys...but I'm decided good and proper. MGS4: Guns of the patriots is coming to PS3 and it's going to fecking rock!

I'm off to play MGS3 again...

Godlesswanderer · #70 09-18-2005, 03:40 AM

Seeing as MGS2: Substance was released on Xbox, I'm hoping MGS4 ends up released on Xbox360. Otherwise I will deprived of another MGS.
But then again, MGS3 was nowhere to be seen on Xbox

.

I've just seen the MGS4 trailer and although I bet none of it is gameplay graphics, it kicks ass. The link's below if anyone wants to see it.

It seems the cigarette smoking is catching up with him. He seems pretty knackered now.

Yup, apparantly he has regualr coughing fits and the likes

EDIT: Saying that it looks like something is helping him get over it, an injection of some sort.

It's also strange to see Snake using a knife, he specifically says in MGS2 that he's not a fan of blades. It all seems very... Big Boss.

Then you are stupid, and I lose all interest in what you think or believe, because it is likely to be wrong.

The Tokyo Game Show showed off some actual gameplay of the PS3 and it is amazing. Kind of makes me nervous for Xbox360. For the most part the Xbox360 games look great...but I was looking at a demo for the beta version of Gears of War, which they say is taking adavantage of full Xbox360 power, and the framerate sucks. It is not smooth at all.

As for the revolution controller, I would really have to hold it in my hands to see if we would get along. From looking I'm a bit skeptical...but Nintendo isn't stupid. I'm sure they focus-group tested the heck out of that thing to make sure it feels right. Still, I have to see for myself.

MGS4 looks insane! I would wet my pants if it was coming to Xbox 360, but I'm sure Sony has cemented the game on the PS3.

I'm even more excited about Gears of War, I just saw some new footage of it, and it looked so much better then I remembered it. Cliffy B. said the frame rate would be great, and that's all I need.

*sleeps with Shrink*

I guess I shouldn't judge it before playing with it, as I did with the DS and now I <3 the DS.

MGS4 looks awesomeness. But much like Godless, I haven't played MGS3 due to it not being on Xbox. Though Snake is showing his age a little, erm, badly. Nice tash.

Leeum · #76 09-19-2005, 12:24 AM

The reason MGS3 didn't come to Xbox was because the engine was coded specifically for the PS2. I'm also looking forward to MGS3: Subsistence for PS2, a 3 disc set which includes the game, the game extension (iirc) and probably a VR missions disc.

Sorted

SeaRex · #77 09-19-2005, 06:28 PM

Gears of War is looking like it's gonna be effin' boss-ass. I was skeptical at first, but after seeing how well the "dodge and cover" mechanism has been implemented... I don't know. I'm just really looking forward to this game again.

The Revolution controller has so many possibilities... flashlight! Use the joystick as a realistically moving flashlight. Would totally make for some killer Survival Horror games. I admit, I don't like how the "DVD/Joystick" controller looks, but the possibilities for it are seemingly endless.

They should change the title of the new Metal Gear game to MGS4: Snake Is Finally Fucking Old or MGS4: He's Not Big Boss, We Swear!
