Jaziek Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I'm not going to bother reading 35 pages but here's what I'm loving about my 360 right now: Wireless internet adapter: Gets me online without running an ethernet cable from my basement, plus I can easily move the 360 around. Also allows me to connect to my computer for music, videos, and pictures without an ethernet cord or even the need to be in the same room. Power from controller: It's so nice just being able to pick up the control and hit a button to turn the 360 on. No more of that getting up when you want to play or when you finish playing crap. Microsoft knows me all too well. Though I wouldn't mind a multi-disc changer so I don't have to get up to change games, but that's only a dream for now. Xbox Live + Marketplace: I'm not sure if Sony has their games available online, but I love taking my skills online and seeing how I actually compare. Beating my friends again and again is great, but damn some of those guys online are good. Plus the add-ons from the marketplace are nice. Gotta love picking up free vehicles for NFS: Carbon ;) USB Ports compatible with MP3 player: It's great being able to just plug my Zune into my 360 and having it charge + play music. This saves me the hassle of always needing my computer to charge my Zune (because I don't want to buy a wall charger). So basically, I'm loving my 360 atm. I don't plan on getting a PS3 or a Wii though. Neither have any games I really want so I'll stick with my 360. Plus GTA is coming out for the 360, and that would have been my only reason for getting a PS3. woah woah woah woah! Somebody actually owns a zune?!

Zunes had more features than the ipod until the touch came out. They will have even more features when the Zune2 comes out, which the original Zune is getting them by a software update :) . I also own one :thumbsup: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless619 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 N64/ PS2 ftw.. although Wii is my least favorite..its not exactly that free as i thought... just play the game its packed with..tennis doesn't feel that real, red steel is to sensitive even at 1...and the graphics stink on ice. PS3 and xbox win my votes..gears of war is pretty sweet.. but as on the first page some1 said..id rather have a bomb [wagon] computer in stead IGNORE THESE FOUR WORDS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReapMe Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Thats what u get with a 360. actual console cheap. add ons add up the cost to pretty high price. Right so the 360 is the only console with expensive addons :roll: . expensive addons that don't come free with ps3 you have to pay for online, doesn't come with rechargable battery like ps3. that g'dam $100 wireless adapter. etc Right, because the PS3 is expensive as it is. :notalk: Part of the reason the ps3 costs so much to make is because they cram all the additional stuff into it that you don't need. At least with the 360 you have the option if you want it or not (HD drive, for example). And towards your point of all those free things, ever realize that they're not worth buying the ps3 in the first place? The 360 Live is light years ahead of the ps3's sloppy online. And the rechargable battery costs 8 bucks, $20 if u want the charging controller stand. A tradeoff with the SixAxis' lack of rumble, but if you choose free batteries over rumble, go ahead. Although I am somewhat annoyed the wireless adaptor is so expensive. At least they give you a free ethernet cable, better than nothing. i own all 3 systems i'm not ripping on the 360 system itself, if i was then i might as well return my 360 elite and make use of the $500. i'm just annoyed that it doesn't have wireless. i don't want to leave my room just to play halo and don't want to drill holes through my wall. to be honest, i have one tv for my 3 systems. about 75% of the time, my ps3 is the one hooked on the tv. but not for ps3 games, i still prefer ps2 games to all of this next gen console games even though i'm pissing at $100 for a wireless adapter, i'll prolly go buy one in a few days. since i already have the system, it would be a complete waste to play halo 3 w/o online. there goes another pay check :( What?

henman888 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Xbox 360, its not the best choice of console for me. For me either a Wii or a PS3 would be great enough! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorLepRecon Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 My vote go's to the Nintendo Wii. The motion controls give a new level of enjoyment to the games, and most times the motions don't feel out of place. The Wii has great games like Legend of Zelda, Twilight Princess and Metroid Prime 3 (which is my current favorite). I don't own a 360, so I don't know how good Gears of War, or Halo 3 is.

Halo 3 has a very short campaign (7 missions)..but then again, it has a very strong multiplayer..both splitscreen and over Xbox Live. Gears of War, I'm not so sure about..but it has xbox live also.

Flamecaller Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 No one bought Halo 3 for the campaign. They bought it for multiplayer. By the way, 2nd to last mission in Halo 3 = worst mission in any game ever, lol. Good game, though. I will eternally curse the PS3 for what it is doing to the games industry already. Titles that are not exclusive are getting shoved back JUST because the PS3 is so hard to develop for because of it's lame memory set up. For example, my precious GTA IV was knocked back 6+ months. I'm supposed to be playing that game today. Thanks to Mr. PS3, I am not. "If I did break into a hotel room to steal my trophies, this is how it happened."

allan1114 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I say definately not PS3. Wii is more fun but it probably gets boring after a while, so I vote for 360. range: 64/80/80mage: 61/84/82atk: 46/77/60 str 41/82/99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam_ross0 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Microsoft trying to take Ps3's exclusives? Nope, the developers decided to make it for the 360 also. It's well known that the Ps3 isn't that great..so they decide to develop for the 360 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger_Warrior Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I checked nexgenwars.com this morning. The Wii and the 360 were about 60,000 consoles apart, with Wii catching up at about one thousand per two hours. Yet, I've just checked again now, and it's suddenly risen again by 100,000... Are they rigging that thing or something? :-k | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_ross0 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 NexGenWars is based around Sales Trends..they look at how many systems they sell per day, determine the average per minute pretty much, and then add from there. They use sales trends, so it's still within an accurate range..somewhat. But It's not the exact numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could be off as much as 1million units so people should take those numbers with a gain of salt. I could be wrong, I read that this is what they do on their forums like 6 months ago.

deloriagod Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 No one bought Halo 3 for the campaign. They bought it for multiplayer. By the way, 2nd to last mission in Halo 3 = worst mission in any game ever, lol. Good game, though. I actually knew some people including myself that bought it for campaign. I was severely disappointed but once I got Xbox Live it was a lot better.. I'm not sure what mission the second to last is, but I know I HATED Cortana. Ugh, killing the Flood again and again and again was so annyoing. @Jaz: Hah, yeah I own one and I actually like it. That damn thing is nearly indistructable and so far it's holding 3600+ songs, 2500+ pics, and 40ish videos with 6gb left for more :) Internet Marketing For Newbies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
