hey if you think $50 for one game is ridiculous, think again. it's been $50 for about 5 years now and if you like games you should be glad they're not going up again!

And real, this endless cycle is 4-5 years per console. If you like games and play them fairly consistently, $300 or $400 is gonna pay off over time. Doesn't seem like much of a waste to me.

It all depends on the customer.

EITHER WAY!!! PC games will always rule. Consoles are good for ease of use and havin the capability to have a lot of people play at once.

I pre ordered one, but there is some very bad news. Since only 300,000 of the 2,000,000 360's are coming to the USA in the first shipment, and my name was shorted of the list, I won't get one until the next shipment arrives, which could be as early as next week. But for now that week will seem like 168 years instead of 168 hours.

Why should I bother shelling out $500 on a new gaming platform when a newer and better one will just come out 4 years down the road, only to repeat the endless cycle. And now that there is 3 big systems out there, it really irks me that to play all the games that actually interest me, I must pay more than $1000 on stupid games. Perfect Dark is a good example, it was on the Nintendo platform but is now on XBox....complete loss of interest here

/end rant

and yes, it is about time that xbox commericials stopped friggin playing on tv.

I'm right behind you![lol] I don't even own the first Xbox, and well, if I'm still playing the N64 today, it obviously must be a good game. OF course, they did make it back in the day where they had to make the gameplay better than the graphics (although that wasn't entirely TOOo hard, now was it?[lol])


Forget the N64...I'm still playing NES, Atari 2600, and the old Gameboy games.

Good 'ole NES, I wish I had kept more games for mine, all I have left is my original gold cartridge Zelda. But I can't play my NES for long because the directional pad has really sharp corners..[xx(]

The old GameBoy isn't really that good either, however playing the old gameboy games on the improved Gameboy Colour is a hoot :D

Donkey Kong and Mario on SNES are also a favourite of mine....

I just bought the old Xbox and I think it's great, I have a PS1 and a Nintendo 64, and a PS2, and now a Xbox.

I also saw on the news that some peoples Xbox 360 were over-heating and melting there games.

ps3 is gona be like $600 dollars and their making it so powerful that it will like blow up.


That statement makes me laugh,but is not not so true. Sure, the PS3 has a lot of power, but I think the 360 and the ps3 will be about the same. But the only sure way to find out to compare the two when the ps3 comes out. But i think the ps3 might run a little slower due to everthing that is going into it, it seems like sony didnt put much thought into making it run smooth. But we shall wait and see.Also, i doubt it will be $600.

I think the max it will run for is $500

I got one and its already looking like sony made a big kistake releasing the ps3 a year later. i got perfect Dark Zero and Call of Duty 2. PDZ looks like a cg movie from final fantasy and has better graphics than most of the PS3 TECH DEMOS, heck metal gear solid 4 doesnt look quite this good but its damn close. This has been Daniel B your local ps2 x-box and 360 owner

Ouch.

Ok, I went down to my local gamestore today and they had a 360 on display, so I decided to take a look and play Call of Duty 2 demo. It was the same demo mission that they had for the PC version which I tried a few weeks before. Graphically x-box 360 is officially equal to top of the line PCs. . . .TWO YEARS AGO. Which equals out to midranged/lower ends now-a-days. The contoller felt a little weird and didnt like aiming in the game. Gameplay wise, I enjoyed it more on PC. I'm not all that impressed with it.

My advice, wait. Wait for competition. Microsoft currently has a monopoly on the uber expensive game system market and then it really has no drive to do anything all that amazing. I can almost garuntee that the good 360 games Microsoft has planned (like their precious Halo 3) will come out just in time to go againts NR and PS3.

Besides its GAMEPLAY NOT Graphics that should be driving everyone to buy these system. The NR I think will use that as their trump card becuase the controller has a gyro in it so it is multipurpose uses. We shall have to wait to see which system is really good.

^ Halo 3 is being planned to launch on the exact same date as PS3's launch.

Should be an interesting day at Best Buy's around the country.
