Ok please any gamecube or ps2 fanboys get out. You wanna make a 500th thread on which is better console but don't do it here for gods sake. This is about the XBOX 360 So when you get it through your thick wagon skulls try coming back and making a commet about the console itself.

 

 

 

If you actually read the posts, you would find we actually did comment on the Xbox 360. Mostly on how ridiculous it looks and how overrated it will be, yes, but it is the simple truth. Actually have something to back up your statements...

 

 

 

And I find it quite rich of you to call us fanboys, when you are the biggest Xbox fanboy that ever lived.

So far you have called me the biggest sony fan boy and bigest xbox fan boy ever... Wow that makes sense. Except I don't hijack posts and completely turn the discussion ever . I have only ever stated my opinion on posts about them. You wanna say my opinions wrong? Go ahead [wagon]. Think before you speak next time?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On that note say whatever you want to say back I really couldn't give a damn what some idiot from manchester who is such a fool it's unbelieveable thinks of me :)

 

 

 

Eh? I've never called you a Sony fanboy, ever. More useless facts ahoy. And is there such thing as hijacking a post? In all the posts ive posted in, ive only posted my opinons, if you can't take that, fair enough, but you don't have to blow up about it. Im not saying your opinions are wrong, im just saying they are mainly rubbish, and I bet you think the same of me, but ah well.

 

 

 

You say you don't care what is said back to you on any post, and you vow never to post on that topic again, but you inevitably always crawl back to make another post.. its an unwritten law of this forum.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah Cj, you're a bit harsh like all the time. I posted once how I hate non-black teenagers acting like gangsters and rappers and you called me a racist :roll:

[cjlhdevil]

Wait what...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For one I hate "wiggers" and "chavs"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also I have no idea when this was... Also what when... Mind showing me where.

Donno where you came up with that, but I'm quite sure it's not fact.

[rocketman089]

Anyone have any idea on the estimated price range for it? I'm just guessing $299 per console, $30 a controller, $50 a game... anyone read anything on it?

Didn't even know a second xbox was coming out, interesting. Odd how they put it upright like the PS2 when they claimed the original xbox was made in a horizontal way in order to keep it from tiping over like the PS2 apparently. Controller looks ok, not sure about the start/back buttons though. Graphics don't matter, the old xbox is good enough to keep thanks to Halo 2. That Perfect Dark better be as good if not better than the original for N64 (best console fps only beat by halo). Probably the best improvement is the wireless controllers (no more breakaway cables, even safer now). Wish they kept the black color, keeps it from looking dirty after a while.

You don't change the topic of the post? hmm....

 

 

 

O god anyone who said that they can watch dvds on their comp SHUT THE HELL UP. It is called psP playstation PORTABLE. You can play games on your pc but you dont see my argueing that why DS sucks. Ds is just the cheap psp. Psp has more functions IN MY OPINION better games. Better specs bigger screen nice look. And to the person that commented on the cd's please actually know what you are talking about first. They are like minidiscs inside plastic casing. :roll: Dont talk crap about somthing you have no idea about.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shame psp has bigger screen and better graphics. :wink: The screens are way to small on DS They look as big as gba.

 

 

 

Yes they are just your opinion, but the topic that you posted in was about the DS. Not about the psp, but you seemed to want to talk about it anyways. Please don't flame others for voicing their opinions about consols when you do it yourself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On topic: Don't like how it sits upright, less places to store it if I was to get one (which I wont because the games on Xbox were all a bunch of crap (don't like shooting games, so that rules out it's only two "good" games for me)

You need to get your facts straight, Ianbur.

 

 

 

The original XBox came into the gaming industry as the "under dog" because it was Microsoft's first gaming console. Playstation and Nintendo already had great reputations and experience in this business, so XBox was UNDERRATED. They made themselves a great name with more revolutionary ideas than the Gamecube had. They had the best online gaming system of any console of all time, played DVD's, had 4 controller ports, and overall the most powerful system. You could also mod your xbox and do incredible things with it.

 

 

 

Now that Microsoft has made a name for itself in the gaming industry and has alot more money for it, they are building up hype for XBox 360 so it sells well, understandable, right? Its not overrated, because its not out yet. Use some logic before you post. So far it looks great, they are using wireless controllers, the new XBox Live support is incredibly revolutionary, and the game lineup for the launch is already the best in the history of gaming.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your an ignorant fanboy who only sees the positives of Nintendo.

How can you even type something like that without going, "wait a second... what I said was not only dumb, but really ironic that i called him a fanboy when i just said something very fanboyish!" :roll:

 

 

 

Microsoft was advertising the xbox like a year before it came out. When it did come out, they told people that it was the best and only for t3h 1337 g4m3r$, and for some reason, everybody believed them. As for upcoming systems, xbox 360 will have internet access again, for how much a month now?(really don't know how much it will cost....) As for the nintendo revolution... free internet. But then i suppose I'm only seeing the "positive" things about nintendo. In my defence, It's pretty hard to find anything negative without being an idiot that thinks that nintendo is only for little kids.

Exactly what I would have said, Jesselt. I wouldn't say that it was the underdog, as Microsoft already had a good reputation software wise, and I would say that they were on a par with the Gamecube, as the N64 didn't do all that well beforehand.

 

 

 

And here is when you go into your extreme fanboy phase: Xbox has the best online gaming system of any console of all time - Xbox live is terrible. Im not 100% on the price, but lets just say it isn't steep, its bloody vertical. And the games don't make good use of it either. On Pro Evo 4, you can quit in the middle of a game if you are losing 4-0 and it won't register as a loss for you. And if you are in a winning position with a minute to go, the losing player could quit and it wouldn't go down as a win for you. Its ridiculous. And what else can the Xbox muster in the online stakes? Halo 2, the most overrated game ever, and a couple of rubbish RPG's, that offer nothing new.

 

 

 

Most of the features you mentioned for the Xbox and the upcoming one were thought up first by one innovative company: Nintendo. You rave about wireless controllers, but its all been done before. And I haven't seen the lineup, but I bet it is full of crap such as Halo 3, some terrible RPG's, and a few N64 ports made by Rare.

 

 

 

I suppose you'll come back and call us fanboys, but after reading what you have wrote, you can no longer have a decent argument in the fanboy stakes.

[ltvcopperweld]

Who cares about the processors inside? The Xbox is around twices as powerful as the Gamecube (possibly three times), and the new Zelda looks about 3 times as good as Halo 2. Both the PS2 and Xbox have raw power, but with crappy software, which means that to get semi decent graphics the developers have to spend ages just trying to unlock the power. With the Gamecube they're able to push the hardware easily, leaving more time for actual gameplay. I expect it will be the same for the next generation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Plus, that looks awful. The controller looks weak and pathetic, and the box itself looks like it will fold in half if you place a book on top of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ha and I bet you were one of those people who when the Xbox came out complained it was too big. Now they come out with a sleek looking design that may not be appealing to others but as they say, beggers cant be choosers.

[Evil_Elf]

I liked the big original Xbox controllers, [bleep] those controller-S things

[system_guy]

Yeah i think that xbox spends all their time on graphics and not enough time on making their games actually fun. I have more fun on my Cube than xbox any day.

 

 

 

Im not sure which console i will be buying next(dont have the money to buy em all :cry: ) Hopefully Nintendo's next system is good because i have always gone the Nintendo way :wink:

[misterxman]

I liked the big original Xbox controllers, * those controller-S things

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exactly, would be nice if they could let us plug our xbox 1 controllers on the new xbox so we don't have to rebuy a couple controllers.

[Silver_Dragon]

Nice to finally see a console thread free of fanboys! [/sarcasm]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The only things that matter to me for the Xbox 360:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-backwards compatibility for the first Xbox's games

 

 

 

-price

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Im gonna trade in my old Xbox and some old games I dont play anymore for the Xbox 360 for store credit, and hopefully it'll help bring the price down to where I can afford.

First off, I own every system. I prefer my XBox, although I used to love Nintendo back with N64 and SNES. I just don't think the Gamecube had games or technology that appealed to me. You can say "SURE, THATS WHAT YOU SAY BUT REALLY YOU ONLY OWN AN XBOX!!!", but you could also take my word for it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Second, so what if Microsoft hyped their original xbox and said it was for the l33t gamers? It kind of is. XBox Live lets you compete against people all over the world, so it is for leet gamers if you want to put it that way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The XBox 360's internet has 2 different selections. You can use the "silver edition" which allows you to use the online system for free on weekends. Or, you can use the "Gold edition" which allows you to use it any time all week for a small fee about the same as the original XBox. Also, XBox has more experience in online gaming and have an incredible amount of new features (plus the old ones) and will most likely out-do Nintendo in this section of gaming.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your just upset Nintendo isn't what it used to be and really dropped the ball for Third Party support with Gamecube. Not only did it lack that, but it also lacked DVD play, online gaming, and they didn't allow you to play N64 games on it (because of their "anti-piracy mini discs" which allowed you to store less on each disc). They could of added a slot to put cartridges in so you could play N64 games, but they didn't.

And what else can the Xbox muster in the online stakes? Halo 2, the most overrated game ever, and a couple of rubbish RPG's, that offer nothing new.

 

 

 

Most of the features you mentioned for the Xbox and the upcoming one were thought up first by one innovative company: Nintendo. You rave about wireless controllers, but its all been done before. And I haven't seen the lineup, but I bet it is full of crap such as Halo 3, some terrible RPG's, and a few N64 ports made by Rare.

 

 

 

I suppose you'll come back and call us fanboys, but after reading what you have wrote, you can no longer have a decent argument in the fanboy stakes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A very typical Nintendo fanboy post. Against Halo 2, against XBox Live.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok, first lets discuss the price.

 

 

 

$5.99 Canadian a month. Wow, that so expensive! Only about 1/3 the price you pay for 1 Nintendo Power magazine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Second, you probably havn't played all the games. Halo 2 isn't overrated, but it always seems to be the Nintendo fanboys who think it is. Its got download content, a great new innovative "Party System", a great matchmaking system, clans, and online stats and leaderboards, splitscreen (you can even play with 3 friends on 1 tv against other people online), co-op, system link, and a great campaign storyline and enviroments and you even get to see the Covenant side..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know some games are not very good online, but there are quite a few good ones and you have to know which ones to play.

 

 

 

Here is a very small list of great XBox Live enabled games off the top of my head:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DOOM 3 - Online co-op, multiplayer, and download content.

 

 

 

Star Wars Battlefront - online multiplayer and download content.

 

 

 

Halo 2 - already mentioned reasons above.

 

 

 

Forza Motorsport - Great features, can't name them since I have not played it yet. All I know is my friend is constantly playing it and it has a cool garage mode (kind of like a "clan" for racing) and great online competition.

 

 

 

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory - Great online multiplayer, downlaod content, and online co-op.

 

 

 

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Black Arrow - Great multiplayer and download content + use of new xbox live updates.

 

 

 

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 3 - Online co-op, online multiplayer, download content.

 

 

 

Unreal Championship 2 - Great online multiplayer and download content.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another great game that will be comming out is Conker:Live and Reloaded.

 

 

 

There are plenty more great online titles, but those are just ones I like and can think of right now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What titles are ports of N64? Conker:Live and Reloaded isn't a port, and its comming out for XBox, not XBox 360!

 

 

 

Perfect Dark Zero is definatly not a port. Its a sequel.

 

 

 

Halo 3 isn't a launch title, its rumoured to come out on PS3's launch. And you can say its overrated, ITS NOT OUT YET AND HAS NO INFORMATION ON IT. Your post is full of ignorance. If Halo 2 was available on every console, Nintendo fanboys would be hyping Halo 3 like there is no tomorrow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other launch titles are Project Gotham Racing 3, Tom Clany's Ghost Recon 3, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06, Gears of War, Kameo:Elements of Power, and Need for Speed Most Wanted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once again, I am not a fanboy. Usually a fanboy only owns 1 console, while I own all 3. I just prefer XBox over the other 2, because I think it has done alot of things that other consoles have not and the games have been great.

First off, I own every system. I prefer my XBox, although I used to love Nintendo back with N64 and SNES. I just don't think the Gamecube had games or technology that appealed to me. You can say "SURE, THATS WHAT YOU SAY BUT REALLY YOU ONLY OWN AN XBOX!!!", but you could also take my word for it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Second, so what if Microsoft hyped their original xbox and said it was for the l33t gamers? It kind of is. XBox Live lets you compete against people all over the world, so it is for leet gamers if you want to put it that way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The XBox 360's internet has 2 different selections. You can use the "silver edition" which allows you to use the online system for free on weekends. Or, you can use the "Gold edition" which allows you to use it any time all week for a small fee about the same as the original XBox. Also, XBox has more experience in online gaming and have an incredible amount of new features (plus the old ones) and will most likely out-do Nintendo in this section of gaming.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your just upset Nintendo isn't what it used to be and really dropped the ball for Third Party support with Gamecube. Not only did it lack that, but it also lacked DVD play, online gaming, and they didn't allow you to play N64 games on it (because of their "anti-piracy mini discs" which allowed you to store less on each disc). They could of added a slot to put cartridges in so you could play N64 games, but they didn't.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also own all 3 systems, and in no way am I dissapointed in the gamecube. What I am dissapointed in is the lack of good games on Xbox. Gamecube may not have great 3rd party support, but at least it has good games. SSBM, Tales of Symphonia, Baten Kaitos, Paper Mario, Zelda Game, etc. They may seem like little kid games, but none of the ones I just named are for kids. How do you think that xbox 360 will out do the Revolution if they charge for their service? Revolution will have backwards compatibility with the Gamecube and Wireless connectivity with the DS (which will also have free internet access). Anyways, you have fun paying to play Halo online.

Been playing Halo 2 everyday since November 9th, won't get bored any time soon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

XBox has had an amazing lineup of games, especially in the past 2 years.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fable

 

 

 

Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2

 

 

 

Project Gotham 1 and 2

 

 

 

Halo 1 and 2

 

 

 

Unreal Championship 1 and 2

 

 

 

Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City (and in June, San Andreas)

 

 

 

Splinter Cell series

 

 

 

Ghost Recon series

 

 

 

Rainbow Six series (Rainbow Six 4 will be out soon, featuring 4 player online cooperative mode)

 

 

 

Forza Motorsport

 

 

 

Brothers in Arms

 

 

 

DOOM 3

 

 

 

Burnout 3:Takedown

 

 

 

Rallisport Challenge 2

 

 

 

Chronicles of Riddik:Escape from Butchers Bay

 

 

 

Ninja Gaiden

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Plus they are getting Conker:Live and Reloaded, Half Life 2, and Farcry in the summer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People will use the new XBox Live system even if there is a fee because the original service surpassed most people's expectations so they know that XBox 360's online service won't disssapoint either. Take my word for it, it will have much more features and more revolutionary technology than Nintendo or Sony has to offer. I will come back to this thread when all the systems are out if I have to.

One question, is it possible to transfer all the memory from the old xbox to the new using memory cards or some other method?
