SACRILEG! You dont play Oblivion on Xbox as well as you dont play Morrowind on the Xbox. Why? MODs, they enhance your gameplay, further and further and further ....

Another reason - game patches.  Seems like some of the xbox games undergo a few revisions as they are released. A few friends and I tried to play some other friends via xbox\'s ethernet option, only to find out that their copy of the game only worked with new copies as our copy wasn\'t patched.  Talk about stupid.

ok well i didn\'t mean literally wat is the first thing you are gonna do, like heart beats or breathing, i meant are you gonna buy it or not. i kno there are controllers for computer it is just not the same as a consol controller, and plus i don\'t kno much about wat the 360 has in it exactly but it soes difenitly surpass any comp there is out now. and i would rather pay $400 than $2000 or more! for a gaming comp with crapier graphics. as for the ps3 i don\'t kno if it will do well if microsoft continues with there plan of releasing halo3 on the same day.i don\'t kno if im the only one but im a deticated xbox person.i\'ve just had too many bad experiences with the comp and i never was too fond of the ps3 as for nintendo they have just been falling behind in graphics gameplay almost everything......practically all there games are from t.v show like nickelodeon or cartoon network.......they all have bad graphics because they want to get them out fast and they are all short gameplay.

I apologize for reviving this thread but there are a few things I didnt get to say earlier:

I hear you there... I grew up as a consol gamer and it is difficult to play consol games on my computer.. I have a computer paddle, but its too different to enjoy as much (and Im just talking about consol games not comp games).

Quote
and i would rather pay $400 than $2000 or more! for a gaming comp with crapier graphics


Yes but you have to buy every single game for the Xbox unless it is crackable like the old one.  There is sooo much more you can do with a comp.. from downloading all those all nes and snes games you loved to play while you were young to getting all the new music and whatever.. and you can play PS and chat with all your friends.  Its an awesome versitile machine.

Quote
as for the ps3 i don\'t kno if it will do well if microsoft continues with there plan of releasing halo3 on the same day.


The PS3 will do just fine for now.  No other consol will have the RPGs to compete in that realm.. so I will be forced to buy one as well most likely.  

Quote
i don\'t kno if im the only one but im a deticated xbox person.


Why are you dedicated to the xbox?  Im sorry, one major reason I will never buy anything xbox is because it is microsoft and frankly screw them ;).  They are trying to take over the entire gaming market.  I dont want them having any sort of monopoly.. more so then they do now :P.

Quote
as for nintendo they have just been falling behind in graphics gameplay almost everything.


Actually graphics and gameplay are two things its not falling behind in... its the lack of game developers... which most of the ones they have it seems are the true Nintendo ones that put out the novelty games like Mario, Mario Kart and those types of games.  And yes alot of their focus is at the younger generation sadly :(... but they dont have the major RPG developers so it would make it quite difficult to attract the 15-30 year old RPGers... though I still buy what I can.. and I will always buy any system put out by them because its Nintendo.  Sega was already put out of business and I dont want Nintendo being the next.  Which is apart of their strategy from what I read.  They dont take too many chances with new creative games because they dont know how they will sell and if they have too many major failures they could be the next to go :(... which I would say it would be the worst day in consol gaming history.

Quote
they all have bad graphics because they want to get them out fast and they are all short gameplay.


Huh?  Short in gameplay?  One major reason if this statement has any truth to it, is because they have so few RPGs.  Those are, for the most part, the only games that you can rack up the hours playing.  But one thing I will say about Nintendo is that they always have a higher quality product.  What they make will last forever.. I still have a couple NESs and a SNES and a 64.. they are hardy machines that Im not sure you can break.. atleast not by playing them too much :D.  While I had to replace my Playstation and my Playstation 2 that went bad because the laser starts to suck :(.. So I guess what Im trying to say is that I love Nintendo and screw all the other systems  :P.

I am guessing it is 360 degrees or \"coming full circle.\" A revolution is 360 degrees.  Take your pick.


Wait. Wouldn\'t a revolution be 180 degrees? I mean the revolution they are trying to explain seems to be one of \"change\". But if you went 360 degrees, wouldn\'t you go right back in the direction you were headed?

Just a thought.

But yeah, I\'m buying one of those xbox thingies. Ever since my last xbox got burgled, I\'ve wanted to get a replacement.

That\'s what i wanted to say  :(

Why PC (or better, why not XBox 360): it\'s too expensive, it\'s useless when u got a pc and no screen that can fully use the 360\'s abilities, the pc is holy, I can buy expansions later on withouth buying the full game twice or more times + the expansions, the pc is holy, I will propably get a new pc from my parents when this one isn\'t good enough for Oblivion, I\'m skilled at mouse and keyboard and not at controllers, the pc is holy, I don\'t have to find space for the box, I don\'t have to drag the box from the store to my home using only my bicycle while wearing a very, very long black dusty.
Ow, and did i mention the pc is holy? :D

About the name 360
there seems to be a strange occurence in which the 360 costs 360? in the local pc store...
