who has played the xbox360?

[dont you move]

oh my goodness.
i think i splooged my pants playing call of duty 2.


amazing.

[Anton Djamoos]

It's not bad.

[deadandgone]

saw it in a store at the mall....some 8 year old was on it.....graphically it looked really really really good.....

[Ratherbedead22]

yeah im ready for the 22nd.

i already preordered call of duty 2 and perfect dark zero.

[RedWineSheets]

When is Godfather due out. That game looks so good.

[fluke182]

Get CoD2 on PC, better graphics, better gameplay, better everything. GG 360.

[Chemical Love]

I dont want the system but I want to play to see how far the technology has progressed.

[brutusUbastard]

Get CoD2 on PC, better graphics, better gameplay, better everything. GG 360. Actually for 400 bucks (and if you have a hi def tv) Call of Duty looks as good on the 360 as it does on a top of the line PC. In a year though it will be back to PC games dominating, even though the 360's graphics have yet to reach their full potential (remember the dfference between halo 1 and 2). It's just easier to play with a mouse and keyboard and the PC has better server browser's (something Live needs to get).

Kameo looked drop dead gorgeous. It looked like better than a PC game.

i want a 360 because i have an HDTV, and i sit on a computer for a living, so the last thing I want to do when I get home is spend time playing computer games.

[last light]

i saw it yesterday, when i was informed i probably wont get mine because i wasnt one of the 1st 40 to reserve it...wow, anyway it looks good, im seeing thrice/poison the well on the 22nd anyway so i wont be able to play :)

[clevername]

Yeah, this shortage thing is fucking rough. Here's what's happening for those of you who don't know:

Microsoft originally set there to be at least a million to be released in the US in order to satisfy people. My EB preordered almost 250 360s. Needless to say when we found out only 250,000 360s were being released, well it wasn't a good day. I don't know what caused this but I do know that it's ridiculous. I also know that it is pretty looking, but really, I don't think it's going to be the better system. I need to have some kind of ps3 demo in order to truly decide. That and I've always been a Sony/Nintendo whore. Mostly Sony, but I see a lot of promise in the Revolution.

It's called supply and demand. They've limited the supply to create a demand.

Remember all those rumors about PSP shortage at launch? I saw 500 of those things whereever I went.

Microsoft is just creating a buzz on a system that needs it because the quality of its games aren't going to sell it, marketing is.

Saving up for a PS3

a couple months ago, i went to best buy and had to decide on an xbox or a ps2. then they told me that i could trade in either one for store credit (+50 credit) if they come out with a new system but it had to be xbox for the 360 or the ps2 for the ps3. i'd get $200 credit. i picked the ps2 cuz i wanted the ps3 more. now i'm a bit pissed that i picked the ps2 considering how far off the ps3's launch is. i coulda just paid $200 + $200 store credit for an xbox360 and then saved up for the ps3. shit.

Nothing wrong with saving up for a PS3.

[Drew Beringer]

You're just holding back, Darren. ;)

[Darren McLeod]

You're just holding back, Darren. ;)
The only thing I'm holding back is an extra $9,000 I won't have to spend on a PS3.

[Drew Beringer]

That was a waste of bandwidth.

So was this.

Haha, just like the Revolution is a waste of money!



haha, jaykay :wow:

I'm not even going to dignify that with a response.

Shit.

[Anton Djamoos]

Thank you Darren.

[Darren McLeod]

I do what I can, buddy.

[FstFtsVsFences]

I can't wait for the Revolution. omg.

[xglassjawx]

I haven't actually played it yet but aloada my mates were playing it the other day in GAME. I'm not really nothered about video games anymore though

Uh dude, I had to call back almost all of my preorders to tell them they weren't getting a system this year. I didn't have to do that with PSP at all. So yeah, sorry dude, but I'm gonna have to go with a you're wrong.

[MLLMillenium]

I can't wait for the Revolution. omg.

I know!

[WakingTheMisery]

from what i hear, wal mart told microsoft they would pull 360 completely if they gave EB as many as they were planning to.

[Ratherbedead22]

wow. what a bunch of bitches.

[Mitch]

Since I'm not preordering, how long does this mean I'll have to wait to get one?

[i like guitars]

i played it at walmart and i liked it

[clevername]

Since I'm not preordering, how long does this mean I'll have to wait to get one?

Uh based upon our store... Mid-next year. That's assuming that the pre-orders take that long to fill. To be honest, it might NOT take that long, but I'm going based upon the assumption I'll still have 200 orders to fill come january.

[Darren McLeod]

Alright, cool. Reports I read other places had a lot of sources saying that this whole shortage was a hoax being played by Microsoft to increase customers' desire to have one.

Sorta like Nike Mercuries in Jennifer Government by Max Barry.

It's Micro$oft's fault for making a worldwide launch. Here's an idea - launch with sufficient consoles at a different time in each territory rather than a pitiful worldwide launch.

I still don't understand why there are so many preorders already. I'd wait for a price drop on an expensive as hell system that offers basically nothing other than games XBox and PS2 will be getting this year anyways, albeit with better graphics. Kameo and Perfect Dark are the only mildly entertaining looking originals thus far, and Rare has been lackluster as of late.

Dude, it's all about the power of this so called hype machine. We've been taking pre-orders from May til now. That's how there are so many. I mean, you gotta keep in mind, this is all shit that's been known for a while. I still don't get how people think that... a WEEK before the system drops that they can still pre-order one. Sometimes I wanna be really condencending... then I remember I already got written up last month, so I refrain.

Haha yeah, I could never work at a videogame store. I'd just end up flipping out on people for their stupid choices and for their lack of logic.

Dude. It's all about the graphics. I would buy a console even if it didn't come with any games just to say that I have the most powerful system.

[Talib Scottie]

I played King Kong at Best Buy, it was tight.

[Talib Scottie]

Revolution is my choice.

Dude, I almost slapped someone the other day. They came up with that game 187 Ride or Die, or as I call it the ghetto Twisted Metal, and I was like.. no dude, you don't want that one, trust me it's awful. So he looks at me in disbelief, walks away and I hear him tell his friend I'm a douche. Then he comes up with L.A. Rush (the new one). I looked at him again and I was like.. dude, wait three weeks the new Need for Speed comes out. And he goes, "Look asshole I want this game." I just stared back and I was like.. "Dude I was just saving you the trouble and the money, but if you want to be a dick that's cool". Then his friend's like, "This guy is awesome, he's a total smartass to you."

Needless to say that kid left pissed at me. He's an example of these rich kids who'll own something just to say they own it. Fucking idiots.

Yeah, I hate how ignorant people are. They should really look into what games they are buying... it's nice to save some money from time to time and not buy a shitty game.

Personally, I would just trust the guy who works at the fucking game store. I know a bunch of people who come to me specifically cause I don't bullshit and sugar coat. I say if it's good or not. I mean I give pros and cons, but I do still work for a corporation so I gotta do something...

Guys who work at game stores here usually aren't really hardcore gamers, and would probably tell you that Halo is the best game released in the last 10 years. And that the new 50 cent game is "off tha chainz" or something ridiculous like that.

Goddamn that game is going to give me mingraines. Fucking it comes out the same day as the 360. Then again I will be taking home a copy of Dragon Quest 8 that day so all is not lost.
