Is santa bring U! A 360!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WazMeister]

Just wondering in numbers whom is going to get a 360 on release or for xmas.

Rumor has it struggle of stock will happen but who here will get one.

I'd like to get one just for xmas to make it even more fun!

Ripping open a new console on xmas day must OWN! just on my bank it won't lol.

My main debate is will it be worth it on a normal tv or something......

[RK[CLL]]

well I should be buying around 3.......they might well be taking a trip to ebay tho......:p

[Minidisk]

Im thinking about getting one to ebay

But buy to play on? **** that ;p

[Gunsmith]

hopefully getting a cheese grate to slice my face off on xmas day, it certainly is somewhat more appealing.

/me goes back under his bridge

Sorry but consoles are for kids and beat em ups only.

Heh only reason I have a PS2 (which I hardly use) is cos of Tekken.

[Nivek]

[Pingman]

[FL1X]

Placing. Bets. On. One. Correctly. Parsed. Topic.

I was going to get one, but due to the HDTV shiz getting in the way, will wait 'till new year when my display of choice has dropped to an acceptable price.

I hardly ever play on the PS2 that I've got here, so what makes you think that I'll be interested in a XB360? The games look pretty... yes that is only to be expected these days. After playing on them for quite a while at i26, the only positive thing I have to say is that Geometry Wars 2 rocks! :)

Otherwise I have COPIOUS quanities of CBA.

Here's a thought.

Call it crazy if you will.

Geometry Wars 2. Release it on the PC. Sell it via Steam.

Instant winner.

[WazMeister]

Id buy one if on release it had some sort of new Fuzion Frenzy.. man the late night sessions with beer and friends on that.

rated a ****e game on xbox 1 but compared to others for fun factor with friends.. priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shazz]

360 is over rated

No xbox of any sort. Period.

:p:

I put it to you based on what we see here, that console gamers who play counterstrike are more fanatical than islamic fundamentalists.

Don't ever recruit these people into the armed forces ...

If so, download some of these, they're beautiful, old school shmups (and free, and PC games).

...final fantasy
final fantasy 9 is the main reason i bought a ps1... final fantasy 10 is the main reason i bought a ps2... if final fantasy 12 only comes out on ps3 (i know its coming out on ps2) but if they change their mind, i shall probably buy a ps3...


are nintendo releasing a new console? hopefully they will be worried it will do as badly as gamecube, and make it quite cheap... i do enjoy quite a lot of nintendo games... super smash bros, zelda, mario kart etc. :)

[UberMonkey]

i find it quite funny that the only popular game looked like it would feel quite at home on an NES... or even atari or something...

Stills don't do it justice. :)

Not only will Retro Evolved be found in the XBOX 360 title Project Gotham Racing 3, but also for purchase seperately via the XBOX Live Arcade for the 360.

Goddamn, someone's done something right :D

The funny things I heard while playing it at i26 were quotes like, "3 processors, brand new graphics, and they're running some old arcade game".

If you stuck around until the last 40 seconds of gameplay (4 min timer), I think you'd find the power required to draw and keep track of everything on screen got exponentially higher every second you survived :D

[WazMeister]

Problem is with 360 everywhere has sold out on pre-orders and say I won't get one till next year.
was hoping to get one big time.

never mind ;(
I sit and twiddle my thumbs on xmas day
lol

[Semajal]

if santa got me an xbox 360 id open it up and mod a computer inside it to take the piss.

Then run linux on it.

Yes, where've you been? :p It's very pretty, available in a variety (4?) different colours, and they're releasing the back catalogue of nintendo games to download onto it iirc. Their main problem with the GC was complete and utter lack of 3rd party games tbh, that's why the PS2 and Xbox won so clearly, there were about 20 nintendo games and hundreds on the other consoles (regardless of quality :p). The Revolution looks like it's being sold as more of a "fun" console than a "serious" one, if you see what I mean, what with the ultra fun looking controllers (you can get addons to use as fishing rod/sword etc! I'm thinking light saber fights with a Revolution controller :D )

[Mingtea]

Mastercard will bring me one.
