XBOX 360

[dorian gray]

yeah, i gotta ask: anyone got one of these yet? theyre like $500 or some shitz.
i barely play my xbox as it is, so im not really in the market but i was just wondering. actually id rather regress and start playing original nintendo again but thats a different thread for a different time.
or whatever.

Atari>>>all other game consoles

fuck off nowadays consoles

(yes, I have a PS2 I rarely play)

 

[MajestikMøøse]

a better idea, get emulators and roms for free and play original nintendo games free of cost and dealing with that goddamn "blow on the cartridge" shit.

 

[Ellestin]

I'm not into playing systems anymore. Last one I owned was a PS2 and I hardly touched it. Now it's PC all the way for the sake of old SNES games or some RTS.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

No and I probably won't get one any time soon. I only got the Xbox because I really wanted Ninja Gaiden and I got the system and 3 games for $150. If I can get the same deal down the line with 360 then maybe. Otherwise, I'm not impressed and I still predict ps3 soaring into the lead when it comes out. Sony has a ton more 3rd party support and it doesn't help that Japan hates Xbox.

Also, apparently this early version of the console has a shitload of defects. Microsoft can't seem to do much right but if they get great games later, my interest might perk up but by the time that happens PS3 will likely be out and taking up my gaming time and $.

dealing with that goddamn "blow on the cartridge" shit.

but that was part of the Nintendo charm!

 

[dorian gray]

haha, "blow on the cartridge" absolutely classic. i wonder where that got started. was it in the owners manual? i mean, i thought *i* came up with that.
yeah, so i dont know what the fuck emulators and roms are. what is they?

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Using a q-tip with rubbing alcohol worked a lot better.

 

[J.]

other than getting Star Wars Battlegrounds II, i dont care about gaming

 

[Krilons Resa]

I just want a couple to sell to these nimwits paying $1500 each for an early edition with TONS of kinks.

I sold my PS2 a couple years ago. The only time I ever play is with friends and sporting games.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

God damn you people. Play THIS already.

Edit: Did a more direct link. I sat through the ads so you don't have to.

 

[Birkenau]

What's a good looking (graphically) game for Xbox 360? All the games I've seen thus far look shit.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

but that was part of the Nintendo charm!

back when it worked... trying to fire up a 20 year old nintendo and blowing on a cartridge for 45 minutes to no avail is very discouraging.

 

[NAD]

ugh i think IGN has more ads than every TV channel put together. i'll check that Shadow of Joo Momma game out when it's like $15, maybe. it does sound pretty cool though.

i use my PS2 all the time. to play CDs and DVDs.

a better idea, get emulators and roms for free and play original nintendo games free of cost and dealing with that goddamn "blow on the cartridge" shit.

hahahaha holy shit that takes me back. we all had our own unique methods to make those fucking things work, but ALL involved blowing on them.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

i'll check that Shadow of Joo Momma game out when it's like $15, maybe. it does sound pretty cool though..

Then just rent it. It seems to take most people only 6-10 hours to beat it the first time.

 

[NAD]

rent?! doesn't that cost like $4 and you have to give it back after a day? fuck that.

6 - 10 hours on a video game for me = 2 weeks to let it sit there, play it for an hour, get bored and go read a book instead, pick it up a few weeks later, play it for 2 hours and think "i'll never do anything else in my entire life but play this game," go to bed, go to work, come home and play it again "seriously. my life stops HERE with this game." get to the end, fail. fail a second time. curse the day the world began, let the game sit there for 4 years, one day find it in a pile of Playboys, CDs, and basses, beat the last boss like i was born to do it, watch the ending and forget what the rest of the game was about anyhow so it's completely meaningless, shrug, rub one out, and go back to watching movies on my PS2.

 

[AsModEe]

pretty much every reviewer agree that the ps3 will be 10 times (exaggerating) more powerful than the xbox 360

 

[cthulufhtagn]

i watched tv this past weekend for the first time in a few months and realized that pretty much everything on tv is designed to look like a video game


man i fucking hate tv so much

 

[lizard]

I also read that the 360 seems to have alot of bugs...and that the PS3 may not even be out in 06...problems there also. unless you're a hardcore gamer, I don't see the sense in buying a console as soon as they come out.

Which have you seen? Because if you think they look like shit, you have unrealistic expectations.
