xbox 360
 

Did anyone have any luck getting a 360 ? I finally got one today through ebay, snipped it...............

By snipped it, I think you mean you bought it for over twice what they're worth.

They're already on sale?!

Whatever happened to 2nd December? Or was it 25th November...

Wait a minute...

How much did you pay for it Kenpo?

They came out yesterday (11-22-05)(22-11-05 if you're European), at least where I am from. Oh, and those of you who buy one, do yourself a favor and buy the $399 version, you'll end up not spending a lot more money than you should if you get the $299 one.

He probably dropped a pretty penny.

If he got it off ebay, I'm guessing close to a grand.

Wow fuck I have trouble putting a grand for a computer(hence my old pos) but for an xbox? fuck that.

Didn't sony do the same shit and not send enough ps2s when they came out? microsoft sucks ass if ya ask me=\ hope they loose some thing...no wait the only reason sony got fucked is cause xbox and gc were out...damn billgates and being a tipical salesman =\

I'm sorry.

not getting it until christmas. I think my mom waited on line to get it and is hiding it in the house. She has been running around with this smile on her face and said bet u cant wait for christmas and keeps asking when halo 3 is coming out. I looked for it all day and couldnt find it. Im going to keep looking but i bed its in like a secret hiding spot. Damn it

lol thats funny, but damn that is such a waste of money to buy it off ebay

Haha I'm gonna laugh if she bought the core version, cause you can't play Halo1 or 2 on that without at least $100 worth of upgrades.

no i told her the expensive one cause its better for the long run, and made sure that she knew that i wouldnt play the cheap one

Would suck if she bought the core version. Still hope she bought the $399 version for you.

haha you're is probally fucked like the other ones

Wow, It's gonna suck if she makes you wait until Xmas for it and it turns out to be one of the faulty ones.

i might cry. Ima ctually going to talk to her about it and see if she can let me hook it up to see if its faulty.

i gotcha thinking ^_^

then go and hide it yourself, bring it out when she's not around, and play it. Then at Christmas eve, put it where she could find it and say it was there all along. :killgrin:

I did not give a grand for it. Its the Premier system with two controlers and two games and remote control for $620.. best thing is I diodnt pay for it..... The problem I have been hearing aboput them has to do with the power supply for them. They have an external power supply like a lap top computer. All you have to do is contact Micro Soft and they will send you another one...

and ill take the old one!

the old power supply? good luck he says its bad already...pwnt

You already have one...

I would rather put cigars out in my retinas than pay 500 dollars for a system that in 5 years will have less than 5 good games.

Then this is for you:

Does that look like a cigar?

Now that is a clever gun.

YOu could make millions selling those on the streets of Japan!

Honestly I am really excited for this new xbox, with great new titles like Halo 3 and um..........did I say Halo 3? Well I can't think of anything else at the moment.

On a serious note if they do make a new Ninja Gaiden solely for this system I will buy it when its around 150$.

Ain't it gonna be Halo 2.5?

Ten reasons to wait for the PS3: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/668/668446p3.html :D

And it does appear that a new Ninja Gaiden will be exclusive to the 360, but to wait for the console to be priced at $150 will be some wait, especially if you're waiting for the full package version.

I don't care about any package shit I just want to play Ninja Gaiden, as for the other 2 systems PS3 is going to have plenty of shit everyone needs to have that one. As far as new Nintendo is concerned I know it will have a Zelda game, thats really all I need to know.

It kinda seems like someone at IGN was payed off by a certain Japanese Company... I wonder who that'd be.

Like I've said before, I'll buy the next generation Nintendo console simply for the Zelda franchise. I was secretly hoping they'd cave in after the GameCube and make Zelda games for Microsoft. We can dream can't we?

Anyways, I don't see anything in that article about the 360's 6 thread processor. Maybe that's because PS3 won't have one.... It was also conveniently left out that the 360 is practically a computer, It has more expandability than Grav's butthole, now that's pushing the envelope. Either way, I probably won't get either until about a year from now when I come back from the Sandbox, so it's all irrelevant to me anyway.

I'd also like for you guys to realize something. Everyone wants hundreds of titles for a system. While variety is nice, having 3rd party crap all over the shelves kinda sucks. A lot of third party shit usually sucks... and what's the point in buying twenty other first person shooters, or twenty other RPGs, when you have the best 3 to 5 on the shelf already? To top it off, what a lot of people don't realize, is that when you have "hundreds" of games, it's going to be difficult to get large online games going. You've gotta spread the fanbase out over those games. I would personally rather have a large thriving community of people who play Halo 3, than search 20 hours for a laggy game of 3 v 3 for Killzone 2. Think about it.

S2 AM for Captain of Debate Team!

FFXI is going to be on the PS3. As will FFXII. And 3 games made by Spielberg.

Since PS3 will have FFXI as well then that's one thing the 360 doesn't have over it. The list of advantages over the PS3 is slowly but surely depleting.

And for all us doom-mongers out there, predicting, nay, wishing for a total recall. some high-up XBox guy has said it'll never happen. Spoilsport. :(

Aren't these companies losing money on the packages? Or is that just a stupid rumor? Seems like the latter to me but I can't be sure.
