Posted September 30, 2005 Can someone please just tell me what's so great about the 360? It's only got better graphics. If that's what you're looking for, wait a while to get a PS3 which will make the 360 look outdated. If you're looking for online play, why pay for it. Nintendo wi-Fi will be free (and probably better than Xbox live). To top it off, Nintendo have the best next-gen controller. So I don't really see anything that great about the 360 and in my opinion, there's no point in buying one..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 30, 2005 Whats so good? Dude, the 360 is worth buying just for its Live features. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 30, 2005 Consoles are always down to the games for me. I look at the 360 and see really good titles that will be out when the system arrives this year. I'd like to play PGR3, Perfect Dark Zero, Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter, Dead or Alive 4, Kameo and Ridge Racer 6. I know that they have a chance to end up being crap and all, but I'm willing to bet that some of them won't be and I shall be first inline to try play these new great next gen games.

Best looking console, good third party support, amazing launch titles including perfect dark zero and kameo, Online gaming. The graphics are about the same on PS3 conpared to the 360 so that outdated garbage is thrown out of the window. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shit I have a friend who uses Gentoo Linux all the time but he wants to get an Xbox 360. (Sure he wants to be able to crack it and play games for free but shit)... This is probably the first time in ages a console has had an interesting launch title line up. Seriously think about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Precisely, devs have already stated that the PS3 and 360 are very close in terms of graphical power. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 30, 2005 The thing is, even if PS3 has slightly more power, I've heard 360 can still perform better visually. Power isn't everything you know. Also, 360 and REV will be easy to develop for, whereas i've heard PS3 won't and developers are starting to drop support because it is expensive and difficult to develop for.

Sorry to be the 5th person to go on at you about this. ---- Xbox Live is awesome, the best thing about the Xbox, I wouldn't play it if I didn't have XBL, I bought it for XBL. There is no way Nintendo can make a better online service, with the way the DS is going I doubt they'll have a decent online service at all, no voice-chat in Mario Kart or Animal Crossing, you don't even get a name, just a "gamer code" and by the sounds of it you get a different one for every game! And one more thing... Halo 3 is going to come out for the Xbox 360!!!!!! That's reason enough to buy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 30, 2005 Anyone know how much the games are going to be? Gameplay have listed them as £39.99, which although would be fairly normal for a shop, its expensive because GC/PS2/Xbox games are all £10 cheaper than RRP(All £29.99) I hope this doesn't hint towards the games being as much as £45-£50 in shops and £40 on net Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good old gameplay will most probably sell them at £37.99-£39.99! Gamestation BETTER let me trade my £300 in credit notes for Xbox360 games or there will be HELL to pay! :wink: (seriously, lol) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course Nintendo's online setup will be far better than Xbox Live, they've had so much experience with it and showed so much interest thus far. Whereabouts did you try out all the new controllers? Which games have you played with them? Do tell! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 1, 2005 I can't wait for the 360 myself, it's gonna be a blast! However, I'm gonna wait until after Christmas to get it - I got other commitments such as uni and getting people presents. I've asked for a 360 as a gift, I've said even if it's the only thing I get this Christmas (with a game obviously :p) I'm not bothered, but everyone is still saying no. If I get enough cash I'll get me a 360 afterwards and PD Zero will be one of my first 360 games. Yayness!! ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 1, 2005 Kameo has online co-op??!!! :shock: Yeah, but you both play as Kameo. Which is slightly strange. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 1, 2005 Yeah, but you both play as Kameo. Which is slightly strange. Two Masterchiefs works just fine. It's better to suspend your disbelief and just get on with it. One the major plus points of playing co-op is you have someone other than yourself to blame when things don't go so well. (If you find yourself playing a game with Guy be careful not to get him in one of his huffs). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
