The XBOX 360

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Chrome Hounds comes out July 11, THATS what I want to get an xbox 360 for!! :D I think its made for xbox too..so i might just go that route. Is it really that much better than xbox? The xbox 360 i mean...;)


In terms of power, graphics and lifetime, yea the 360 is much better. Not too long from now, the original Xbox will be pretty much dead.
I still maintain that if you don't already have one that you should wait untill Christmas to buy one. There are not too many games out that are absolute must have games. I've had fun with mine, but like I said, I could have waited had a known there were so few games for it right now.
On the other hand, if you have the money and it doesn't bother you to wait for more games, go for it. I don't regret my purchase, I just wished I would have waited.


My Games:
PGR3- A lot of fun but very easy. I blew through the game in 5 hours. Unlike PGR2, I have no real desire to go through and go for all Platinum medals.

MotoGP 06- I really like this game, it's the only one I'm currently playing. A lot of people don't like it for some reason. It takes awhile to get used to th handling.

Call Of Duty 2- Meh. That pretty much sums it up. It was fun and kind of hard ( on the hardest setting it's damn near impossible) but I have no desire to play through it again and again.

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter- I liked this game. Challenging but not impossible. I haven't touched it since beating it.

My biggest gripe is how short the few games I've bought are. With all the hype around this generation of games, you think they could make the gameplay last longer than a few hours. The only game I've got a considerable amount of time into is MotoGP. All in due time I guess, there are plenty of games in the pipeline that ought to be great. (Halo 3, Forza 2, GTA4)
 
Why wait till xmas? Pricing be down? more games? Reasons?

before/after xmas will likely lead to a price drop, hopefully so will wii/ps3 competiton.

first generation titles for next gen consoles are tricky. remove the visual wow factor and most games suck. developers need more time/experience to flesh out more complete titles rather than rushing to meet a system launch date. more games, better quality to come. im gonna wait til halo3-burnoutonline-and gta are out, then consider snapping one up. it'll be cheaper and less x360 coasters lying around the place.
 
Well it seems that the newer 360 waves have more improvements.
Also I found a strange solution to prevent overheating. The power cables connecting the 360 musnt touch the ground and the console should have a base only in the edges so it can ventilate on every side. Lots of people who tried this said that the screen would not freeze or crash again.
 
i heard you still need an old x-box to play some of the classics online,like halo 2 and midnight club 3 dub edition and star wars battlefront 2.is that true?the old x-box live is still filled with members on like every game.those fools are even piled up on that crimson skies game that you get for free with x-box live 12 month subscription,so I dont think the old x-box or the old x-box live are going to be obsolete any time soon....heck,seems like more people are playing halo 1 online than halo 2 at times,you know?
 
I have had the 360 since 30min before it was released and i have been on it everyday and never had a problem with mine, and i have played for hours. but from what i heard the problem wasn't with all of them but just a batch.

it kicks azz anyways! and ill still get the PS3 when it comes out as i have had it on reserve as long as i had my 360 on reserve, best part is with the amount of games i have been trading in, its already almost paid for :grinyes:

no you just need to contact Microsoft and you can get the update disk that will allow all games to be playable :D
