XBox 360

[Dj. dp]

If anyone liked the original XBox, then hear is a better XBox in the Market called "XBox 360"
If you guys have heard of it and played it already, tell use how it felt playing and what you think of its new shape and form.

[red shoe paul]

i doubt nobody here has played it, unless they went to E3, but i don't even think people got to play it at E3.

xbox is xbox, i'm not here to debate which is better but the stats on PS3 just blow xbox out of the water...and..into millions of pieces, or something.

it'll be reletively close in sales. once again.

[Garrett]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that makes the XBOX 360 look far superior...

[Rico X]

I've seen the Xbox 360.I think it looks fantastic in my opinion.Maybe in the near future if it comes out with some good games.Maybe I'll on consider on purchasing it.

[Garrett]

Will we have hott next-gen-ness at TGA? Because I will DEFINITELY go there to play them.

[framerate]

PS3: 2 teraflops
XBox 360: 1 Teraflop

PS3 for the Win.

[red shoe paul]

PS3: 2 teraflops
XBox 360: 1 Teraflop

PS3 for the Win.

k thanks for the confirmation that ps3 will pretty much own. ;)

i'm definately buying one of these suckers, and i totally forgot about the "up to 7 person" bluetooth controller connection.

[Valcion]

How the HELL are you going to divide the screen up 7 without it being hard to play.

Only two games look appealing on the 360. DoA and Halo 3. Other than the RPGs, I'm willing to bet its lineup is going to be EXACTLY like x-box's.

Phantom FTW.

[red shoe paul]

you'll beable to add another television that's all i know. nobody knows how the screens will be set up just yet.

[Dj. dp]

So basically what you are trying so say framerate, is that both of teh Game systems are still very strong and good and its to hard to debate about these two Facinating Systems....??

[Garrett]

So basically what you are trying so say framerate, is that both of teh Game systems are still very strong and good and its to hard to debate about these two Facinating Systems....??

No. I believe he said:

"PS3 for the win"

I could be wrong though...

[Ghost]

its not hard to debate. regardless of what comes of this, dreamcast will still be the win.

[Dj. dp]

Yeah your right Ghost, Well its kind of good that PS# is kind of getting better accomplishments and better explaning about them, That I might have to buy a month after it comes out because my friend told be that it will serioulsy decrese and be down to 250 dollars!!!
Thats not that much compared to 500 dollars.

[Ghost]

dont expect that for a long time guy. also, who wants to bet the nintendo revoloution drops its price to five dollars in a month???

[Dj. dp]

dont expect that for a long time guy. also, who wants to bet the nintendo revoloution drops its price to five dollars in a month???No its true because, I have a friend, whos a friend of my cousin whos a friend of his girlfriends friend, is kind of a hacker who goes into the PS station and looks at all of there work. Also, he does everything wierd but doesnt get caught.

[Hi-C]

No its true because, I have a friend, whos a friend of my cousin whos a friend of his girlfriends friend, is kind of a hacker who goes into the PS station and looks at all of there work. Also, he does everything wierd but doesnt get caught.
Ahhh i get ya now. wait a minute..... what?? :confused:

[red shoe paul]

dude kind of a hacker..i call bs but that's just me.

you need to be elite to beable to crack security as touch as high company's such in this case...sony.

[framerate]

Phantom FTW.
END OF STORY. you took the words right outta my mouth
*for all the non-n00bs - Phantom is like cable...for videogames*

So basically what you are trying so say framerate, is that both of teh Game systems are still very strong and good and its to hard to debate about these two Facinating Systems....??
No. I believe he said:

*sorry for double post*

yeah. Sony doesnt just have top notch security, but sony owns more souls than satan (sony owns everquest, thus millions of souls)
:D

[Dj. dp]

IIght I see that you said that PS3 is better then XBiox, and , I AM ON YOUR SIDE FOR THAT MAN....hey does anyone mind changing this thread into a poll thread so we can see which one is going to win?

[Sk8er87J]

Ohhh man XBox 360 is great guys lol.

[Ghost]

its all going to come down to the launch titles for either console, in which case i give playstation the advantage, due to the fact that sony always has an amazing lineup.

[Dj. dp]

its all going to come down to the launch titles for either console, in which case i give playstation the advantage, due to the fact that sony always has an amazing lineup.Yeah your right ghost that is true. Plus; you guys know that PS is a legend in a way because they have been created for so long, that it might have a better advantage because its a classic councle....can't spell. They now know what the problems are from their other creations from sony, so they will now create an even better type of councle so that everyone won't judge it even though it is great and cooperates very well. And for the years of making so many different types of games so everyone can play, PS3 will go all the way!!

[RushedDown]

fuck both those systems sega and sammy need to make dreamcast 2

[Ghost]

Yeah your right ghost that is true. Plus; you guys know that PS is a legend in a way because they have been created for so long, that it might have a better advantage because its a classic councle....can't spell.

And for the years of making so many different types of games so everyone can play, PS3 will go all the way!!

i apologize for this but WHAT THE HELL?!?!

[Hi-C]

i apologize for this but WHAT THE HELL?!?!
My thoughts EXACTLY :confused: , i wouldnt really consider the PS CONSOLE legendary..

[Dj. dp]

Watch your Language RushedDown, and also it would be better if they didn't make a new Dreamcast because Dreamcast is all the way down the dane. So many people have return their Dreamcast for an even better concle....PS2 orXBox or something even better.

[Sk8er87J]

Yeah guys how about gameboy advance. Now thats effing legendary.

[Garrett]

Yeah guys how about gameboy advance. Now thats effing legendary.

Actually, the Classic Gameboy is legendary. It beat out SO MANY competitors even when it had worse graphics, and less innovation.

[Sk8er87J]

Hey dood u like running my dreams... hehe just kidding. Classic gameboy i never really played so i couldn't say maybe i'm just a trendwhore.

[RushedDown]

dc is godly if u like 2d fighters

[Valcion]

Dreamcast wins.


THE LEGEND WILL NEVER DIE.
