*DROOL*


I don't own a old XBOX but i wanna get this one! Damn!

[Etrain]

Yes, I'm going to purchase one for sure. May wait till second batch though. What's the estimated price tag?

I am not sure about the estimated price tag. i don't think it will matter for me.... haha i will be saving up from now on! I might quit smoking....... maybe. Watch this video, you might understand why! OMG!

[Etrain]

*Jizzes* Fuck, when's the release supposed to be?

[Greensworth]

November sometime. Incase anyone didn't go into the links. Custom faceplates. Web cams, wireless controllers are standard. It's a bloody super computer that can lay down a serious ass kicking! I am excited!

[XTC]

Systems are getting to expensive now a days. That and my lack of interest in games now a days.

[chris420]

yeah thats true but id still spend a few extra bucks on something like this, ima wait for the ps3 instead

[KellisJ2003]

HAHA, did anyone catch that ladies name in the video? It was mei mei BONG. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Man, I smoke too much weed.

[JSTA]

^^^^^I saw that too. I had to stop the video cause I was laughin too hard.

All we now is it's gonna be a 2005 release. I'm guessin either November like the first xbox and live, or they'll release it for the holidays. F the ps3 in the A. :)

[2600]

OK...

"Water Cooled" CPU

Concave design to resemble an "Inhale"

and Ms. Bong...

It's way over the top. I dropped out of this world since the ORIGINAL NES, but that looks amazing. Just a whooole lot more marketing buzzwords than specs there, but I got the idea.

It's funny how computers are constantly being better equipped with entertainment capability, while entertainment devices are evolving into "typical" computers- they even have CPU's out now designed solely for operating entertainment systems, and of course for gaming.

(...but it's no pitfall or demon attack lol)

[Greensworth]

I cannot wait.


Today instead of being high........... I am drunk at 1:00 in the afternoon! Sweet. On a lighter note. XBOX is going to make me the happiest man alive!

[Omun]

I already promissed myself that windows xp was going to be the last microsoft product I'll spend money on, so unless I find one in a dumpster I'll probably not be getting one of these systems. :rolleyes:

[Etrain]

Omun, get off the penguins dick :) just kidding...good OS, but come on.

[KellisJ2003]

I will def. be buying this system. Halo 3 is going to be UNREAL. And for all the people who criticize the Halo franchise because they think their gay computer games are better, have fun with your imaginary girlfriends. Halo 2 is the best game out. EVER. PERIOD.

[Button Basher]

Bollocks. What you guys need to remember is that Microsoft barely even have a lineup of release titles yet. They are relying on hype to sell (as they did with the Xbox) and personally, who cares about new graphics? Halo was a dead parrot, exactly the same as any other console FPS but with slightly nicer graphics, nothing a PC hadn't already beaten 3 years earlier.
Microsoft will get everyone worked up about the graphics so they forget about the games. The original fanboy strategy.

Now let's take NINTENDO! Obviously not the most popular choice right now, but totally original, totally revolutionary games (of which they don't sell out instantly to everyone else). They arn't releasing too much info, but their new console will have a brand new, pressure sensitive controller and (they promise) all kinds of new features that havn't been done before. They don't rely on convergence, or new technology like Sony and Microsoft. Nintendo have always been about the games, and continue to make the best. Do I need online gaming, a CD burner and DVD player? No, i've already got them thanks. I'd like a new, incredible GAMES console, and Nintendo will deliver.

[Etrain]

Button, I know what you're saying...but online gaming is becoming very popular. It is the future grasshopper.

[Greensworth]

Cannot hear you Button...... LALALALALALALA....... I AM NOT LISTENING! Regardless of all those negative aspects. I like the portable aspect. Customisable features are nice aswell. i will be buying this new console. I started on nintendo, but i am 19 now. Never in a million years will i be buying a nintendo product. Kids can do that. I won't, i like my FPS'S and RPG's to kick my ass visually and plotly. It's going to be awhole new world of gaming (even thought it's possible on a PC).

[Button Basher]

Thought i'd come back now that i've read up on the 360 some more.

I have to say, and in fear of contradicting myself, the specs are very impressive. It will most definitely be the best looking console (unless they abuse it like they did with XBox resulting in slow, crummy looking games). I stand by my comments on the games. Alan Wake? Demonik? Condemned? They are ALL coming out on every other console or PC. Quake 4 and Call of Duty WILL be better (and cheaper) to play on PC.

Yippee, another Tony Hawks game, and Tomb Raider too. Just what we needed, more sequels. The thing with Microsoft is they're only strategy is to buy off developers. They'll have barely any games exclusive to the 360 (don't mention Halo, i'm aware they'll milk it for what it's worth).

As for multiplayer, you guys are aware Nintendo are planning a wireless, free online service with their console right? Xbox live will become ridiculously expensive and ultimately, nowhere near as good as PC multiplayer. PC prevails over all, does anyone really need to spend money on technology they already have for the sake of hype? Especially when a the games console lacks the games.

To be honest, I could care less that Nintendo make more kiddy games. Who gives a fuck? Do I need more blood to enjoy a game? Nope, I need entertainment and the most kiddyest of games on Gamecube were fricking great (Monkey Ball, Zelda, nothing like them on ANY other console). As you may have guessed, I have a PC :D ! I get all the violence and online fun I need from Half Life 2, Doom 3, soon Quake 5, etc, etc. The problem with the 360 is I see nothing new and games are about change for the better. If you guys wanna spend $400+ on something that you won't need and most likely won't stand the test of time (Xbox has been out for what? 3 years with something like 3 truly astounding games, which I can't think of right now), be my guest, be appeased. I'll be right next to the real-deal until they let me down, which they never, EVER have.

Amen!

[Greensworth]

XBOX 360 = Gaming's best console to date.

PC = Best overall

Greensworth = A game lover from birth to death. I have a great PC. I want a great Console. I want to have my friends to come over and kill eachother on my tv while laying on the couch stoned as hell. I want to be able to have a portable dvd/cd/gameconsole/mp3 player/overall good time in a box. It will be worth my purcasing. I accept your outlook on this upcoming god of console.

No hard feelings!?















P.S. --- I like you Button, your funny!





P.P.S --- I love you.

[Button Basher]

Lol, joker. No problem mate! Sorry to sound a dick, I wholly believe in each his own.

I just love games and Nintendo have always been my choice, since the days of the SNES. I like to think of myself as a gaming veteran, but I admit Xbox has quite a following and Nintendo are very much cut down in their prime.
My problem is I resent hype. It seems to dominate the industry nowadays and games seem to operate around a 'flavour of the month' basis. How many WW2 shooters have there been in the past year? Despite the competition, Nintendo remains original all the way and I love them for it :D . Everything else seems to be either graphics, convergence or both and that's not what games are about.

Then again, neither of us know just what the new consoles will be like. Who knows, PS3 might dominate over all upon release!! :eek: The best we can do is wait and see.

I'll be sure to admit I was wrong, should it be proven. ;)

[Etrain]

Yeah...well I love you both. o-O

[JSTA]

Xbox live is only 50 bux a year. I'm glad to pay this to prevent hackers and what not that you can get on pc and ps2. It's impossible to cheat on xbox, and if you do, you're cut off by microsoft. Voice communication in every game is also a nice feature. I'm just saying that you make Live sound like a pain in the ass to pay for when it only costs 50 bux a year! :) I'll probably end up getting the ps3/xbox360. I didn't even know that Nintendo was releasing another system? I haven't heard a word about it yet.

[Button Basher]

It's gonna be called the Revolution :D . It'll be as big as 3 DVD boxes stacked on top of eachother, play GC games and DVDs, have wireless (apparently), free online play and SICK GAMES! Nintendo choose not to resort to hype and are keeping it under wraps. All that i've heard is the new controller will have pressure sensitive buttons which will be (amongst other things) one of the new technologies used in the games.

I don't see Xbox live as a pain in the ass, just a really over-rated feature of the Xbox. People only ever seem to talk about how fun Halo/2 is on it and playing a FPS with a controller is a bland experience in it's own. You have a good point about cheating and hacking, but it doesn't weigh out just how much more fun you can have with a fast connection and Half Life 2 :) . (a lot of draw also is also effective)

[OzzyOz]

i'll stick to my 64-bit pC :-)

[Omun]

If you want to talk about power this system will beat the xbox 360 anyday, but which one will have the better games? http://news.com.com/PlayStation+3+stats+spotlighted/2100-1043_3-5709571.html?part=rss&tag=5709571&subj=news

[OzzyOz]

[anycraic]

[amsterdam]

imagine the computer our kids will be playing, theyll look better than reality


fuck that,my kids can play mine!!i will have the playstation 12 when i am 80 years old.

[Greensworth]

I wanna get XBOX 360 more then playstation. I have always loved the xbox. I am not in any way supporting Bill Gates or Microsoft. I just like Xbox!

[amsterdam]

sony always has better games,halo was cool but gta is way better.

[Button Basher]

360 bummers kindly close their lips and watch this gameplay video for Killzone 2 on the PS3.

http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/killzone2/index.html

I've made my bloody choice. :cool:

[JSTA]

The graphic capabilities on both are basically the same. It basically falls into the devs laps on whether or not they wanna put in the time to make the graphics that much better. Also, it's gonna come down to what games you like the most. Did you like the ps2 games or the xbox games? The graphics don't make the game either, that's as true as anything lol.

[Button Basher]

Yeah, I contradicted myself there.

But all the same... WOAH!! :eek:

[Creeper]

Id rather spend 300$ on a kick ass console that actually can run all the games I buy for it, than spend 3500$ on a kick ass pc that will be out dated in a year anyway though, so fuck ya, x box rules!

[mrdevious]

I believe the xbox 360 has slightly superior graphic capabilities, but I'm not sure. The processor is greatly superior though. the total PS3 processing power is 4.2 GHz, wheras the Xbox 360's comes to 9.6 GHz. however, it'll be a while (if ever) before we'll need more than 3.

[JSTA]

Specs on both systems (http://hardware.gamespot.com/Story-ST-x-1985-x-x-x?tag=boxcar_all_features_image)
Those specs are what each company had at e3. Just by specs, and after reading that article, I think the ps3 will likely have more power. But, I like the games on the 360. Oh well, g uess I'll just have to buy both then lol.

[Maui Wowie]

XBox sucks, PS always owns all.

[Hektik]

I'll end up getting both. But yeah the ps3 is going to have more power then the new xbox. I dunno why people gotta hate on a console or something they don't have =/ I own pretty much every gaming console. Since atari ^^

[Takingsunday21]

^^^All of Sonys consoles have more power than they use. Just because the PS3 has that much power doesn't mean it's going to use all of it. They never end up using all of their power. The 360 will be awesome.
