Re: Xbox 360
My old flatmate has one. I've had a brief shot of Quake and Project Gotham which seemed to be OK. I not much of a gamer though so I wasn't that impressed.
I really want to have a go of Elder Scrolls, which he should be getting today.

Of course it will - it's coming out later.Bleixmaster wrote:I said it with the Rick rubin thing and i'll say it again- if it ain't true i'll eat my pants ( pointing at Ps3 rocking Xbox 360s ass hehehehe )![]()
Which is exactly why the first Xbox was a lot more powerful than the PS2, it came out later, the technology was better. Sort of like how when you upgrade your computer it's obsolete the next day, only with consoles, being fixed hardware, you're stuck with it for longer.
The only difference is that this time, if Microsoft play their cards right, THEY will be the ones with the large library of games and established market, like the PS2 had last time around.
Also, considering also that the PS3 is rumored to be a fair bit more expensive than even the Xbox 360, Microsoft might do all right for themselves this time.

Re: Xbox 360
I don't care, I won't have to pick sides. I'll own both the PS3 along with the xbox 360. Agreed that there are alot of disappointing games thus far, like Perfect Dark Zero and Tiger Woods 06, but good titles are starting to roll in!

Re: Xbox 360
My lad had a go of it in the shop and it looks incredable, but we always wait at least a year before buying a new console, it takes them ages to get out the decent games.

Re: Xbox 360
For Sony's sake, I hope people buy the machine. It has already cost a fortune for Sony to develop that thing, budgetwise it doesn't look good. Also, if Sony decides to include HD-DVD drive in PS3, it will probably cost a lot more than X360.Bleixmaster wrote:I said it with the Rick rubin thing and i'll say it again- if it ain't true i'll eat my pants ( pointing at Ps3 rocking Xbox 360s ass hehehehe )![]()
If Sony manages to get some very good exclusive games for PS3 (mainly new GTA), then sales might be good enough to cover most expenses.

Re: Xbox 360
Yes, the PS3 will cost more than the 360, that has been stated before, although the price is yet unknown, some people say it might be from 450 to 550$US with the Blu-Ray stuff, the backwards compatibility of PSX, PS1, PS2 games, high def movies and the 60GB HHD.Banaani wrote:For Sony's sake, I hope people buy the machine.

And yes, Sony will have some sick exclusives, most notable Metal Gear Solid.

Yes, that's why i thought it'd be safe enough saying so, i don't really look forward to be in a situation where i might need to eat my pantsfadingtoblack wrote:Of course it will - it's coming out later.Bleixmaster wrote: I said it with the Rick rubin thing and i'll say it again- if it ain't true i'll eat my pants ( pointing at Ps3 rocking Xbox 360s ass hehehehe )![]()

There's so much in the PS3 that it will make a great Livingroom Computer, sorta. Some great stuff in it. Sony will most likely do good deals as allways and get a hold of the rights to my favourtie title as before.
As long as they keep NHL, GTA, MGS, Silent Hill, James Bond ( Call me crazy, but i enjoy most Bond games that EA puts out ) i'll be fine
As for the price it's allways high, my ps2 costed something around 600 US dollars ( with the current exchange rate ) when i bought it 5 years or so ago.
If the price of the new machine is under 600 i won't complain a single bit, assuming everything on the machine will work and that the price don't sink 200-300 dollars half a year after i buy the machine...

Re: Xbox 360
I got the 360 back in November and I think it is pretty cool. Though at 59.99 for a game they are quite pricey so I don't have too many of them after saving for the system.
