Anyone here have an Xbox 360?
« on: November 30, 2006, 08:59:24 AM »
Hey all so I picked one up over the Thanksgiving weekend, and I'm pretty impressed so far.  I will pick up a Wii soon as well.

I only have two games for it.  Mine is Gears of War, and the wife got herself Viva Pinata.

Anyone else out there enjoying their 360.  BTW is till play my DUO  :P

Yeah I like the 360, it's a good system.  Next year should be awesome with Blue Dragon and Lost Planet coming out, plus some other stuff like Assassin's Creed and that other RPG by the ex-Squaresoft guy.

My girlfriend bought me a 360 and it is pretty cool.  I wish it had more good games, though.  Dead Rising was completely awesome, I must say that.  I will be getting Gears of War for Jesus Day and I'll pick up Lost Planet when that comes out as well.  I don't give a rat's ass about online gaming, though.  But downloading demos is pretty cool!

I got a 360 back in February when I had some spare cash and felt like buying something new. Right now I'm mainly playing Halo 2, GoW and Phantasy Star Universe. My girlfriend's dying to get Viva Pinata (she's a crazy Animal Crossing fan).


Yeah I like the 360, it's a good system.  Next year should be awesome with Blue Dragon and Lost Planet coming out, plus some other stuff like Assassin's Creed and that other RPG by the ex-Squaresoft guy.

Blue Dragon just got something 9, 9, 9, 10 in Famitsu, so it looks like it turned out the way everyone hoped. If it doesn't move 360's in Japan, nothing will (short of Dragon Quest X).

I tried the Lost Planet demo a little and it was totally Bionic Commando 3D, with a grappling hook that actually worked.

The way I look at it, if you're not some kind of Sony crazed fanboy and you actually want a next gen system right now, there's no reason to buy a PS3 over a 360, since the 360 has the same/better graphics, more features and more & better games. Plus you can buy a 360 + HD-DVD player for the same price.

This will change as the PS3 develops. But right now, it's just a cool over priced Blue Ray player. If someone's like, "I bought it cuz someday it'll do all this and have all that", -then why not buy it when it has all of those things instead of wasting your money on a first gen model now?

Gonna pick up a 360 eventually for XNA. Of course, gonna get the Wii also, but waiting till its second generation. Looking at full dev licenses for both consoles.

I don't have one, but I kind of want one. It is actually cheaper than the Wii in Europe, and it looks nice (I mean the console itself looks nice).  :)

However, I won't get one just yet, because there aren't any games on it that interest me, and since 90% of all the consoles die after a while, I'm afraid to get one.

If they've fixed the dying issue wheh Halo 3 gets released, I'll get an Xbox 360.

Edit: Oh and this is so not the right board for this topic. Will somebody move it please?
