^^^ Exactly. I have a second-shipment preorder for the 360, so at this point it's a waiting game.

I don't understand the whole rivalry, frankly I think it's pointless and immature. If a person doesn't like what the system has to offer then just don't buy it. I could see where if I had my hand in developing either box, then I could see being a little bias, but come on! I'd be willing to guess that most of the people that scream "Xbox sucks, PS rules" have never even played an Xbox. I have played the original Xbox but hated the controller, doesn't mean I should become a PS2 fanboy.

Personally I plan on getting both the 360 and PS3 (probably not at launch) because I like what both systems have to offer.

 

has noone played the smurfs game for coleco vision or is that just me? u cant beat that. or the army game. c'mon
where r they now?
what about neo geo? that was the greatest!!! that baseball game they had was unbelievable.
u guys dont know anything about games

 

just wanna share this thread too:

some state that they did have problems, but fixed it with small solutions..(i.e. AV cables not being plugged in all the way; hard to see tape covering disc tray, causing it not to open)

haha makes you wonder how those kind of people even got the box open! although i did try opening my cd tray with the tape on it still. didnt see it at first.

the taped door does suck tho, it leaves tape residue all over it, so then you need to clean it off carefully and make sure u dont get any of the rubbed of residue inside the tray

 

yeah that's what i've been reading, that it was hard to see the tape there...how's your 360 doing?


JC

 

its been doing good. no problems at all. ive played it a few hours on xbox live. the only game i have is project gotham racing3.

i had 3 to start yesterday but i sold one to guy at work today and the other ends on ebay in a little while

 

Its just like buying a car. Would you buy a Ford over Toyota? Dont think so. Japanese electronics > American electronics, PS3 > Xbox360

 

except sony screws the consumer with every sony product. their cameras all require their brand memory cards which cost more. psp only works with their memory card

 

LOL that sucks, you should have gotten a computer! It doesn't matter what game it is it is always best on the pc. 3 Ghz 1 gig rambus, x850xt platinum oh yeah, the resolution is about twice that of HD.

 

what i meant by a half way next gen system was that the xbox 360 will be so inferior to sony... it doesnt have hd dvd, it doest have wirless contnection built in(100 dollar add on) no hdmi out put, its huge(but so is ps3) sony game disk are gonna be able to hold 45 gigs of memory compared to 4.5 gigs in which xbox holds, once people see ps3 its gonna be over just like it was for dreamcast,it has hdmi, wirless wifi, cna play up to 7 controllers on 1 system(8would make more sense) and it goes up to 1080p, but who has a tv that goes up to 1080p im not a big sony fan but im just stat'n fact, the power of thatmachine is gonna be awesome i sall metal gear in real time and it blew me away, it looked lke a cg video

 

I know I did.
Mine still works fine, it has met the floor a few times, and I had to do some emergency surgery a year ago. I must be lucky.
_______________
one thing i dont like are fanboys, its prejudice. if i felt that MS offered me something special with the xBox, sure i would buy one. but i think a PC is a better choice between the 2.

but before that i would probably have a PS3 and the revolution (i think the controller will be interesting to use!)

 

O my God. I still have my Coleco Vision and I thought I was the only one who ever played that Smurfs game lol. My Dad bought it for me and my Sister for XMas when it first came out. HE was so excited about it he let us open it early and play it everyday after school and we'd wrap it back up after so my Mom wouldn't know LOL...good times. I wonder how much my Coleco is worth now...

 

well i got the cod2 today and it makes me somewhat happy i got it now

 

if you look at the specs ps3 kix the 360's azz. nuff said... im not wastin my money and that M$ cr@p

 

i just got the blue screen of death on mine wtf

 

^see what I mean. I'm sure the bugs will be fixed by first quarter next year but the first few batches will be crap at best. I've had the original PS, PS2 and now the slim PS2 and never had any problems with any of them. Sony = quality and M$ = $$$.

P.S. - isn't XBox live gonna cost like $80 for the starter kit and another fee per month?? With PS3 you can buy any compatible headset and there is no monthly fee.

 

strange I respect cnet.com a lot on how they review the stuff and they actually gave the xBox 360 a really high score 8.4 that's the highest score any product received from cnet

 

i think it's $69.99 for the 12 month membership, with no additional monthly fees...unlimited play and some downloadable extras might require points/money...i like playin on xbox live and another plus is no one can cheat/hack


JC

 

ok, $80 for the starter kit and $70 for a year. that's $150 extra dollars just to play online. Cost after cost after cost just to play these games. In the end, to me it's not worth it when you can spend less money on a better system. Don't get me wrong, XBox has awesome graphics and great games but it's just dollar intense to get those awesome graphics and great games.

 

You guys have it all wrong on the X-Box Live prices. Yes, the new Gold Starter Kit (12 months) is $80, but you get the 12 Months of Gold Service, plus a $20 Mail-In Rebate on any X-Box 360 Game, a free X-Box Live Arcade Game, 200 Microsoft Points, and a 360 headset.

X-Box Live still costs $50 for One Year, not $60 or $70 like you guys are saying.
