What are its good points? Its bad points? Is it worth the money? Are the graphics good? Easy to use? Best thing about it? Go ahead, tell me what you think!

Anime Otaku Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I'm not getting one. Microsoft are the only group I hate more than the panda people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 i think it looks like a pile of crap that was invented 15 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I don't think anyone can really answer any of those questions without owning one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Xbox 360 owns! If I free myself up some money, I'll buy my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahsatan Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I'm not getting one. Microsoft are the only group I hate more than the panda people. Says the man who has msn.......................;) Anyway, we've got one. Personally I haven't has much of a go on it yet, but I've just sorted out my x-box live account and intend to battle on there later. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da game Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 i still think the controller is s***t but so is it on the ps3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFill Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 i think it looks like a pile of crap that was invented 15 years ago. Right, the DVD drive was in consoles 15 years ago, and wireless controllers too. Ooops. And you do realise that a console is about the GAMES, since it's got wireless controllers, you don't need to see it unless you're changing game!

Russ Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Hmmm, I've also got to say it's a bit of an odd poll. The people who have bought one will say that it's great, the people who are waiting for other consoles with either not vote or say it's rubbish. I'm sure the X Box 360 is a great console if you're buying it for your own reasons, whatever they may be. There aren't many people who go and buy a console only to find out right away that it's crap. Finding that a console wasn't all that good is kind of a reflective thing that you'd look at after a few years and say "Yeah, turns out it was a bit of a disapointment" after a lack of 3rd party support, rather than hating it on the opening day. You might hate the games you have for it, but not many people would instantly blame the console on that front. I haven't played an X Box 360, but I have no doubt in my mind it's still a good system. The fact that there's no option on the poll to reflect this stance is a bit confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popsi Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I think it looks pretty, but at the moment the games that are out for it dont impress me much. i know they'll be introducing more, but at the moment im not that keen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I dunno, I played (well watched one) about some ex cop guy with flashbacks, and it was gorey and scary and amazing! Began with an O but yeah...and J reckons Project Gotham is awesome aswell. Halo 3 will also be amazing when it hits the shelves. Oh and Taj, ever heard of the phrase "Cutting your nose off to spite your face?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicole Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Your preventing yourself from playing an amazing console because you don't agree with the company. Its pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anime Otaku Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 meh most of the good games are multiformat anyway and if I remember rightly the PS3 is the most powerful machine this time and Sony has always had good third party support. Also I think that disagreeing with a company that acts illegally and not buying its products if I can is a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Like it's really gonna change anything though? The PS3 isnt even out, all because its specs are good on paper doesn't mean its gonna be great when its out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anime Otaku Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 maybe just me alone won't change things but if enough people get sick of MS and espeially windows it might make them buck up their ideas a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFill Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 There are too many people in the world who use Windows, so it won't change Microsoft's mind. Let's not forget that the "it's the most powerful console" thing didn't help the Sega Saturn or the Sega Dreamcast - they were more powerful than the PS1 and PS2. Also, the PS2 is currently (even before the 360) least powerful machine out on the market. Power has nothing to do with the games now - anyone who buys a machine because the games look "pretty" is an idiot, and deserves what they get. I personally like games for gameplay, which matters nothing on power - look at Tetris on the GB - very little power, but a FANTASTIC game. Hell, I even play Bejewelled on my phone more than I do the console games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyndorf Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I have a 360 it's great!!! Of course the lack of good games is nothing new for the birth of a new console, I've been enjoying Project Gotham today, fantastic! I've also got Condemmed, but have yet to have a go. Perfect Dark is fantastic!.......on XBox LIVE. The single player is utter tosh, with some awful AI and shocking level design, but like I said, on LIVE it's fantastic. I'm very pleased, I just wish Fill would get off his ass and get one, I'd love to shoot him......................;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Thats the game I've played on! Condemened! It was awesome :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFill Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I just wish Fill would get off his ass and get one' date=' I'd love to shoot him......................;)[/quote'] Chances of buying one in a store now = VERY low. If I had the spare money and time, I'd certainly try though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MojoPogo Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Thing is, remember with any new console, developers havent yet worked out how to get the best from it, so remember, the best is yet to come for this system, and if PGR3 is a start, this machine is a beast, whatever your opinion of Microsoft may be. I'm of the same opinion for the console/gaming industry as i am with wrestling, we need companies competing to bring the best out of developers really, so if this is strong enough to compete with PS3, we the consumer win. There! That said, wont be as good as Sega v Nintendo! That was the real classic era! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahsatan Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I've has a couple of goes now. I'm rubbish at Perfect Dark, but I did chat to some nice American chaps and one of them added me to his "friend list" :D If anyone gets one my tag is ahsatan, shocking, eh. You may not want to add me to your "friend list", but as I said, I'm terrible at the moment, so you'll always win! :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
