Xbox 360?

[SPORK]

And I side note, anyone who says Xbox sucks because the controller is too big is a moron

Bahaahah, the irony is killing me.

It does have controller ports but I think there is only two of them. Not sure as all the info I could find on it was a few months old (hence why I amasking if anyone saw it at BBT) also said that it had built in receivers for up to four wireless contollers.

But then I also read that games would not be bought in a normal sense but downloaded off the net in portions. As in 29.99 for the first quarter of it and so on... If that is true I may just rethink the whole xbox thing.

I love it when people start talking about consules, someone always has to jump to the defence of PC's. PC's make a better games machine, well fuck me a $1500+ machine is better than a $500 consule? No shit sherlock. However we're discussing consules, not PC's.

Bahaahah, the irony is killing me.

What's ironic about that? Anyone who says the Xbox is inferior to the PS2 just because the controllers are too big is letting their arse do the talking. It'll be like an Xbox owner saying PS2 sucks because it doesn't have any green on the console.

i had a PS2, loved it and played it heaps. Then i got an Xbox and i think the Xbox is much better then the PS2, well most of the time. GP2 on the PS2 was mint, GP2 on the Xbox is bollox. But Forza out classes GT4 by a long way. But from what i've seen and herd, my next consol purchase will be back with Sony for a PS3.
My 2 cents in an otherwise geeky and boring thread......

I'm going to wait until I know I can mod the shit out of the new xbox and put in a bigger hard drive etc. A standard modded xbox kicks so much ass there's no way I'd go back to one that I've got to actually purchase games for unless they were really worthwhile games.

Being able to run your own apps like xbmc is something I couldn't do without now either.

You can mod it up with a bigger hard drive and I'm sure it wont be too long before somone comes up with a chip allowing you to "backup" games from disk to hard drive. ("you paid $75-$100 for that game? Wow, only cost me $8.99" lol) and put other progras on it. It's still essentially the very basics of a desktop computer.

The ironic thing is that you're calling other people morons, even though you have a simplistic spelling error.

If you're going to make fun of other people for having opinions, you had at least do it right.

Burnout Revenge is the most fun multiplayer game I've played for a while on the xbox. Especially with the wireless logitech controller! Schwing.

Unreal Championship 2 also kicks ass. I hope they get some good game programmers who'll take advantage of the new hardware of the xbox 360 to make some kickass games.

That "modding up" with the official hard drive addon doesn't sound that great. I want to be able to put in a hard drive of my choice, not an overpriced official microsoft accessory. I heard the xbox 360 doesn't even ship with a hard drive as standard unlike the original xbox.

I'm sure MS will be putting a whole crapload of effort into trying to stop people from chipping their xboxes to allow hard drive changes after the number of game sales they would have lost after the original xbox was chipped, but I spose it'll just be a matter of time before someone gets around their protection... so I'll wait till then

Bungie is on the table with a few games that near push it's limits. Halo 3 for starters.

Also I heard tale of another burnout game. Not sure what the graphics are at though.

The way I've always seen it is that PS2 games have always been better than X-Box games. There's nothing that I want on XBox that I can't get elsewhere (PC, PS2)

Whilst we're being petty, you forgot a full stop. I may as well disregard anything you say now as you can't use full stops properly.

L.O.L.

It's now a concrete peice of machinery although we won't bee seeing it in NZ (retail) until march(ish) 2006. So the word of mouth "whatsitgonnabe" shit is in the past. The games are being reviewed - there's no hear say anymore.

The game above looks cool, which has nothing to do with the fact a PC with an X800 (or better) could pull it off without breaking a sweat.
