For those video gamers on CF are you looking forward to Nov 22nd for XBOX 360? I won't be getting one immediately..but if the system rocks out tight games I will get one. I am really waiting for Playstation 3 but that's a long ass wait.

Anyways just saw one of their racing games commercial for 360 and the graphics are much more real than the first XBOX!
 
Its gong to be a lot of cash. I'll probably end up with one, but DAYUM! $400.....ouch.
 
$400 mucho dinero..but always when they first come out they go for high cash. Always good to wait. I remember I payed $500 for Japanese Nintendo 64. Nobody had that shit around my area. Then it came out for $249 lol

Well today XBOX360 is gonna be playing in alot of homes..release date was today. 🙂

Love the fact the controllers are wireless it's about damn time.
 
I got mins last night @ MIDNIGHT MADDNESS @ EB Games. I would show u pics..But don't know how to on here.

Here's a link to where I put them on...It's my live journal.

My Pics of the XBOX360 Midnight Maddness

I love this system... They really over done it this time.

My Kids are madd happy...It's one of their X Mas gifts EARLY!!

We all are gamerz over here... I got 2 copies of Perfect Dark Zero to system link to the other XBOX360..

I also picked up Need 4 Speed Most Wanted & this ILL game called CONDEMNED.

I'm actually about to play on XBL right now...Peash ya'll

Hopefully if anyone gets a XBOX360 on here...Holla at me & I'll give U my gamertag..And we can play a game. I know a FEW of you play...Don't front.

Come on.... Say what u like to play
 
im waiting for the ps3...im a sony fan...and 400 for the xbox and 60 dollaz for a game?? wtf...they must be crazy
 
I have mine and it's great. It's like every system that comes out there's always a few messed up ones.

For the price it's actually not bad. The first xbox and PS2 they were about 250, which was about 7-8 years ago. It's called inflation. So for the price upgrade of 300-400 its not bad at all.

If you're going to wait for the PS#, whcih I am also< it won't come out for another 7-8 months. That's the word now.
 
i wanted to get j one........but i was not going to spend the night in layaway at wal-mart for it!!!!!!!!!!! so i'm just getting him an xbox for now..........hey we are having a boy so i can give him the old one later on!

That is true that's happened to a few systems years ago. I have a friend that works at EB video game store and he told me the amount of people complaining about XBOX 360 is pretty big.

Nintendo Revolution is said to be at $200 while Sony at $300-$400. I think Sony will be less than $400 because I have a feeling their intention is to have millions of people own Blu-Ray (PS3 will be a Blu-Ray player so you can play HD DVD Blu-Ray flickss) which Sony will introduce to us.

Right now they are losing $126 per Xbox 360 being sold. They want to make it up in software. But if the hardware does not sell like they expect..they are screwed.

From a technological point of view PS3 is a much superior machine than XBOX 360 in terms of displaying more realism, power, and resolution. Plus you can play the upcoming Blu-Ray DVD movies! 😀
 
ps3 will own the gaming industry...they have a hot lineup when the ps3 comes out...i cant wait for metal gear solid 4.... i think gates didnt think about the loyal fan's he got'z dat own n xbox..i think he ripped everyone off...in order to play ur old games u had to buy d most expensive one in order to play old games on it...if i was a fan i would've been thrown off...n alot of people were
 
Please........XBOX is made by Microsoft. Microsoft specializes in gaming and has made a number of computer games in the past. If anything, XBOX should be equal if not, better than Sony's PS.

I know a game retailer that get's in alot of PS2's to repair than he does the XBOX.

:nono

XBOX 360 = No HD-DVD...no 1080P for HD gurus. No great launch of games...no full downward compatability.

SONY PS3 = Winner.

[size=+3]10 Reasons To Get PS3 & NOT XBox 360: [/size]

November 21, 2005 - Unless you're the type of gamer who enjoys playing his wares under a rock, then you no doubt know by now that this week marks the official launch for Microsoft's Xbox 360. Several years in the making, the brand new hardware from Gates 'N Company has been receiving plenty of consumer hype in the past few weeks and has been heralded by some as THE big system watch in the upcoming next-generation console wars.

We're here to tell you that they're wrong.

Now don't misunderstand us, we'll be the first to concede that the Xbox 360 is certainly an impressive system with plenty of positives to keep its customers happy. But if you're a fan of high-definition technology, enjoy playing more games than the "other guy," and want to get the most possible bang for your buck, then Sony's forthcoming PlayStation 3 will definitely be the system for you.

Listed below in descending order are the top ten reasons your faithful editors on the IGN PlayStation team think you should wait until next year to make your first next-generation upgrade. And while we absolutely came up with more reasons to ward you off than those listed below, these were the selections that we felt stood out most. And now without any further ado, we present to you the Top 10 Reasons to Wait for PS3!


Warhawk looks awesome.

Reason #10: Xbox 360 Doesn't Have a Killer App
360's launch lineup is admirable; there are 18 games and five first-person shooters. It can even be argued that the 360's overall average quality of titles is greater than that of previous systems. And yet not a single game is Killer App worthy? Where's the Halo? Where's the Mario? Where's the Soul Calibur? Where's the frickin' interest?

It's true, though. PS2 launched with a sorry lot of games and PSOne featured a similarly disgraceful lineup, but with the advent of PS3, Microsoft may have wished it more heavily emphasized one game its new console could forever be known for. This is because PS3 has the Metal Gear potential, Warhawk, Tekken, I-8, Gran Turismo, Killzone, and a dozen other high profile games that may hit day one to put a smiling face to the splendid PlayStation name. And when you can associate Dante with PS3, will anything else matter?
 
Imagine Heavenly sword in 1080p. Aww yeah!

Reason #9: Dual-Screen and 1080p Support
1080p! Sweet Marie! Even if most televisions don't support it, why limit yourself to interlaced images when you can experience the glory of 1080 progressive? Support is for the weak! PS3 is forward looking, if anything. This means when you invest in the ultimate display technology however many years down the road, PS3 will make good on your purchase by outputting the absolute best image available on the market. And according to boastful Sony reps, we'll see games running at 120fps, too.

The Dual-Screen support also adds some interesting 3D potential. Layering images is a great way to fake depth. But if Killzone in full 3D isn't your cup of tea, maybe panoramic F1 racing will be? The option is certainly there. If the next Ace Combat doesn't feature dual screen-in cockpit support, we know it at least could have if it wanted to. Boo-yah, 360. Where your 720p now?

Reason #8: Hefty Expandability / Connectivity Options
Have expansion, will travel. The best way to maximize a console's lifespan is by lining it with a thousand ports and interfaces of every type. In this way PS3 has expandability written all over it. Compact Flash, SD Card, Memory Stick, Blue Tooth, USB 2.0... If Sony ever wants to add-on, it need not limit itself to one standard. And if you ever want to jam something into your PS3, chances are you'll be able to, assuming it's not toast.

Moreover, PS3 will also be intimately familiar with the PSP, meaning cross-platform associations will be all over the place. Expect PS3 games to take full advantage of the little PlayStation Portable by offering unlockable content and new multiplayer possibilities. What if a PSP player could control Otacon's droid in the next MGS? Whoops!
 
You can avoid this if you preorder PS3.

Reason #7: You Can Still Pre-Order
It seems to happen during every system launch, but nobody ever learns their lesson. In the rush to be the first on the block to own a brand new console, mobs of people invade their local retailers while forming lines larger than what you'd see during Fourth of July weekend at Disneyland. It gets even worse once you're inside the store -- as people hurry to the videogame section eager to snatch up whatever overpriced bundle pack they can, so that the managers who decided to throw the promotion together can milk every last penny out of your paper route.

This can be avoided, however, if you just plunk down fifty or so bucks a few months ahead of time. All you have to do in this scenario is walk right into your retailer of choice, pay of the remainder of the balance and go home with a smile on your face. With a release date of just under a year away, the PS3 still lets you do this. The Xbox 360, on the other hand, does not.
 
You can play with seven of those boomerangs. SEVEN!

Reason #6: Seven-Player Wireless Support
While being able to play with six of your buddies offline in addition to playing with a single system will only be appealing for a small number of genres, it can be especially important for sports games in particular. Being able to populate an NBA or NHL team entirely with human players is something that isn't possible on any system outside of the PlayStation line, and the PS3 will keep with this trend.

If you've ever played through a season of your favorite sports game with each of your buddies taking control of a single player for the season, you know how rewarding and fun this sort of setup can be. Again, it's only possible on a Sony system, and in the next-generation the only place to find multiplayer support of this kind will be on the PlayStation 3.

Reason #5: The HD IP Camera
The EyeToy is one of the all-time most successful peripherals released for a console for a number of reasons -- the biggest being that it works phenomenally well in its simplicity. The PlayStation 3 will see the release of the HD IP camera, which we'll assume will be called the EyeToy 2, or at least something that sounds a little more consumer-friendly.

The camera features a native HD resolution, allowing you to transmit crystal-clear images to the PS3 for online play and more. And with the increased resolution and the PS3's processing power, the camera will allow for even more advanced, yet natural, input with the system. Take that, Microsoft and Nintendo! Plus, being that it's IP-based, the camera's functionality ties directly into Internet use, allowing you to transmit feeds over the Intarweb with ease.
