Xbox 360

Post by JB77 »

The XBOX 360 was released in Australia today and I got to play the fighting game today on my lunch break. The game was cool but the graphics were unreal.

Has anyone got one, thinking of getting one or have any opions about the new next gen gaming console?

Three of the kids on my floor have it. I'm playing it all the time with them - its just incredible. Playing the sports games (Madden, Fight Night, Tiger Woods 06) is just amazing, with the redicolous detail up to the beads of sweat.

Dunno I would get one myself, they are a bit expsensive still right now. But then again I don't play video games enough to spend the money on it - I don't have the time to play my ps2 anymore.

I tried it before christmas in one store. It seemed nice, although the pad wasn't perfect for me.

I might buy one, if I get more accurate TV.

Yeah I've got one. Playing Perfect Dark Zero (fantastic 1st person shooter) and Condemned (scary-ass Resident Evil-type game) at the moment and its the best investment I've made in a long time!

Playing a four-player deathmatch on Perfect Dark Zero with wireless control pads is great fun!

I've got one, had it since launch day in the US. I own 14 games now, with a few of them really being stellar. The Elder Scrolls Oblivion just came out, which is more amazing than anything I've ever seen.

^^ I'm actually looking forward to getting that new Elder Scrolls for the PC soon. It looks really good, though I haven't played any of the earlier games.

Not that I'm going to be paying the $99 AUD retail price for it though....

My cousing got it when it came out, he was all excited but at the end he was kinda "Meh!" attitude, I personally am not impressed by it. Maybe because I havent play the big titles, except Perfect Dark 0 which was pretty dissapointing. I think that I might be impressed when the 2nd generation of games come out and developpers will have more experience in working with such a powerful machine.

I am saving up for a PS3 and the Revolution though. :thumbs-up:

The PS3 is set for a World Wide Release in November this year.

I think that is what I will be saving my $ for.

I tried one out in store some days ago and, while i thought the graphics were really great and the gameplay fun, the price of the thing just makes me cringe a bit. I mean, down here it is around $650-700 just for the basic consol package and then all the games cost $100 or more. Also, most of the games i really enjoy are on computer anyway.
