The 360
 
I got an xbox 360 this morning...who else waited it crazy lines to get one

Kids! :hammer: Actually, it's kinda scary to see how many people get all fired up about these video games. People want games that are like realistic, but most of them can't deal with real life. I need to remember to buy stock in video game companies around Aug-Sep so when they release new games before Christmas the stock will spike and I can sell for a healthy profit.:)

jims69camaro 11-22-2005 07:32 AM

i'll get a complete system next year. i'm in no rush.

foff667 11-22-2005 07:53 AM

I'll see what PS3 has to offer & probably end up waiting until they get down to $199ish then i'll make my decision...to be honest ive used my ps2 more for dvd playing hten gaming.

i just got home from waiting in line for 11 hrs with my buddy, we were 3 ppl away from the limit. the best buy in deptford only got 72 360s and like twelve ********** jumped into line right before they counted and they got counted, pushing the line back. but yeah im beat tired

Tsar 11-22-2005 09:17 AM

mehh video games are overrated

Koll 11-22-2005 09:26 AM

Ill wait for the mod community.
Current Xbox has : Over 40 movies, over 40 games. Yay for 200GB HDD

coldkilla 11-22-2005 09:46 AM

yeah why kill yourself for a game system that as of now has crap for games and wont hit its stride until summer of next year, same goes for the ps3. i will buy both about a year or 2 after they have come out when the price drops 50 bucks and there are quality games available, thats what i did with my ps2 and xbox. hey koll you mod your xbox? give me some websites or info about it if you could, im a pc modder but totally forgot all about xbox modding until recently.

bad64chevelle 11-22-2005 10:06 AM

I think I am done with console gaming. Id rather get the game for my PC and play it on there. Im much better at PC games than console games anyways. All I need to do is upgrade my video card and get another gig of ram and ill be perfectly set to take on any game that comes my way at this point. good luck with the Xbox360 though. Who knows maybe ill get the itch to get one in a few months when the demand is much less. I remember sitting outside of Best Buy for a PS2 just for the shippment never to arrive :-(

qwikz28 11-22-2005 10:43 AM

im calling my friend right now to see if he got it. they camped out in front of best buy from midnight last night. if i wasnt in school i would have done a drive by egging last nite.

I'm waiting till spring to get an xBox 360....mostly because of PGR3. Can't wait to play it!

To those who want to play old xbox games on the 360, make sure that you buy the complete system. The 360 is based on an IBM PowerPC chip rather than an intel pentium, so the architecure of the system is comletely different. There is software emulation available for download to provide compatibility with 212 old xbox games.

I used the X3 chip from Team Xecuter http://www.teamxecuter.com/
I did the solder chip cause I knew how to solder.

In the long run, it was very worth it.

i think sony would be pretty stupid to not make PS3 backwards compatible. i didnt know 360 was released already, thought it was gonna be released later. from what ive heard PS3 is gonna kick the crap outta 360 graphics wise, i think it has somewheres around 8 or 9 GPUs (Graphics Processing Units), like everyone else said i'll prolly wait awhile till i get an new system, i finally just bought a PS2 in september! :lol: and also waiting for 11 hours is insane....

I still play NES

ar0ck 11-22-2005 03:21 PM

Im waiting to see what PS3 has to offer as well. Im not a huge mircosoft fan especially the 360, the line up looks pretty weak so far.

Now all I have to say is Goodbye, make sure you pack a lunch.

i actually still may have an original pong from radio shack around here somewhere. :)

Tru2Chevy 11-22-2005 09:30 PM

My first console was a Coleco Vision when I was 3 or 4....I don't think I got an NES (which I do still own) until I was 8 or 9.

you know you're not. i wasn't going to bring it up, though...
i bought Sears rebadged Atari. i played pong when i was 8 or 9. one of the richer families that lived near my grandmother bought it when it first came out. they were nasty, left burned in images on the black and white TV.

Koll 11-22-2005 10:41 PM

I got 2 Atari's w/ a bunch of games. NES with many games. SNES with many games. Brother has the N64. I got outta consoles and went into PC games, but it seems every other game I was upgrading. Then I went to my modded Xbox

Tsar 11-22-2005 11:36 PM

damn some of you must be ancient! :lol:

coldkilla 11-23-2005 03:21 AM
