Nope. Overpriced, over-hyped, understocked. Why would I care, past knowing not to go to my local EB that day?

I'm more excited about Sony recalling their massive quantities of malware-laden CDs.

So far I havent seen anything about it that makes it even close to worth it. The demo's of PS3 look far better. Hopefully I'm wrong, and the 360 wont suck, but we'll see.

Is it really worth 500 bucks to play one game.

The only game thats a launch title that isn't a rehash of something else is Perfect Dark Zero. Tell me, is it worth buying the XBox 360 now? Seriously?

I am. but I am going to wait for the $400 versions price to drop a bit then get that. I am satisfied with my current Xbox and dont play enough as is to spend that kind of money to play video games I dont want. But its going to be the best of the so called nex-gen consoles.

I played it at Wal*Mart too. but it was stuck on a demo so I didn't actually
get to play anything. I'm gonna get one in like a year to wait for the prices

Ugh, wow, I went to EB games today and was watching some of the demos, and honestly, it looks like a huge failure. The graphics on some of the demos were on the same level as ps2 or xbox already is, if not alot worse. Again, not impressed, I'll bet alot of the time you wont tell the difference from the original box.

The demo I saw reminded me of conkers bad fur day on N64, no joke. I saw it and seriously thought "you have to be kidding me, THIS is what all the hype is for?"

And then they had a demo for a project gotham 3.... looks no better than any racing game already out there. Yeah, it looks great...but so do games that are out right now.




Speaking of games, do you guys know how much you get for game trade-ins at EB off hand? Just ballpark.

Yeah, the graphics are currently on par with the current consoles, but you must remember those are on the launch titles.  The graphics will improve with time.  Just look at Halo compaired to Halo 2.

Show me one legitamate retailer, on-line or off, that you can actually get a 360 for 300 for the low end, 400 for the high end. Everywhere I've looked is selling some sort of stupid "package" deal to make up for what Microsoft on give you for their base price. Things like a second controller, a game, or a network cable.

I'll give you Kameo, until I see the game anyway, but yeah, I'm pretty sure that Condemned has been done in some form or fashion before. The Project Gotham series has been done for quite a while. Hence the "3" at the end.

Yeah, probably not, but the point still stands that the cheapest XBox 360 I can personally find on the market from a reliable source is 579.06 at walmart.

Its 20 bucks short of double the supposed price, and for what? a second controller and a couple of games? An ethernet cable? A wireless connector that I thought was going to be built-in anyway?

Regardless of what they're "bundling", until I can get it off the shelf and walk out of a store with it for 300+tax, they can't claim that they're selling it for 300+tax.


Posted By: DBibeau855
Date Posted: 16 November 2005 at 2:08pm
Well, the games are like 59 bucks, so you get two games, or three in the bundle, that plus 100 or 159, however you want to look at it. Then you get that extra controler, thats like fifty bucks right there, so thats 200 right there. I think they do this to be sneaky. Instead of offering the base system by itself like they used to do, and sell everything at Retail.

They bundle it up for something that costs maybe 350 at list, and sell it to you for 600 retail.

Sneaky sneaky sir.

See, it takes less than 3 bucks to make a video game CD. So they sell it at Retail with a bundel to make up the money they lost makin the bloody system. They sell it only in bundel to force you to buy it in a bundle, sneaky sneaky.

I am only waiting until i can get the $400 version. i dont want those games. like someone else said i want the new ES (elder scrolls). i may get perfect dark. personally i think the original goldeneye needs to be made for XBOX. the only difference being an imporvement on the graphics, and having an online multiplayer. that was the best game ever.

curious. would you rather play a great game, with good gameplay and a good storyline and good replay value, but with just decent graphics, or a game with the most amazing graphics in the world. but with crappy everyhting else?

Where did all the xbox fanboys go? It seems that many of them
transmutated into sony fanboys once they realized that the "Most
powerful console ever" has little in the way of actual graphics or even
gameplay.   Don't believe me? Go play one at Compusa.

I am planning on getting a ps3. The only thing that sony can do to mess
up the ps3 is try to control how you use it to tightly. PSP homebrew
anyone?

it was a great game but how can you say its better than perfect dark? it was like the same game engine but with better and more maps, a ton of gadgets and guns, exteremely customizable multiplayer, i still play perfect dark on my n64...thats the best game ever

I never got into perfect dark. they made a sequel but you kill bond? i always wanted to play the bad guys in those missions. but if you say its bad i'll take your word for it i am sure i would have heard of it if it was good. if they can redo the original goldeneye for 64 and keep gameplay the same with obvious changes such as multiplayer. it will dominate the market. no bond game has been any good since that.

Dazed...I noticed the same ething you did with prices, but i reserved mine at EB a while back for $400. Maybe to get that price, you had to reserve a while back as I did. To those of you who say it doesnt look much better than Xbox, i have no idea what you're talking about. To be honest, I've only played it in HD, but let me tell you in HD it looks great! I guess theres a possibility that its not a huge improvement on projected Tvs because they focused on HD gameplay (but I doubt that. lso, this is personal prefrence but Xbox has a better collection of games than Ps2 and i don't think(for me anyways) will change for the next-generation. I mean, it semms even games availible on both consoles, teh xbox versions are better or more enjoyable. And for those who like Xbox games and the Halo series you have no other option. After the next few months all Xbox games will be on 360. And for all you complaining about 360's price, i hope you have A LOT of money because altough no offical price has been released estimates are guessing $500+ for PS3.(for the console only, not a bundle)I've also noticed this: Maybe it's because Im using WMP but some of the 360 videos dont look good at all. But I've seen them on the console itself, They're sooo much better looking! From looking at the specs, I believe ps3 will be very little if any more technologically adavnced than 360. By the way, when is Revolution supposed to come out?

Look, it is being sold to everyone for $400 thats it, there is no insane markup.  Stop saying there will be,  we will all know when we go at midnight and pay 400 and not a dollar more.

I am planning on getting a ps3. The only thing that sony can do to mess
up the ps3 is try to control how you use it to tightly. PSP homebrew
anyone?

Ever look at the PS2 launch games? Those games were no better than Dreamcast..

I can imagine Halo 3 being the reason to buy an xbox 360.

My friend is going to Wal*Mart at 8:00 tonight and "setting up camp" and
wait for the shipment to arrive at 12:00am.

I would love to get it, but I just don't have the time set aside to get lost in a video game anymore .   How ever I do plan on buying the new Nintendo just because then I can download old games.

On Cambie street here, at the EB games there they're having a midnight launch tournament. I predict lameness.


I bought Need for speed underground: most wanted: black edition (longest title ever)

And yeah, I wasnt a fan of underground or underground2, but this one is pretty intense...

I liked midnight club 3 more before because you didnt have to tune every single componant of your car like you do in the nfsu series..

Well...My friend stayed outside the Wal*Mart to get
the Xbox 360 and got the cheaper one. He's hanging
on to it to wait and see if they get any more
shipments in on the $400 set so he can return it. And
if it takes awhile to get a shipment in...then he'll still
have the $300 system.

Tiger Woods '06 Demo I played was pretty awesome. Besides, most of the games that are launching with or around the time of the 360 aren't pushing it to its potential. Most of the games that you guys are dissing are the fault of the game producers... not the 360. At least that's what the Microsoft rep. was saying at EB yesterday.

And you think a MS Rep would say anything bad about the product he is trying to push?

I would believe a MS Rep saying that game producers couldn't use the 360 to it's full level. Look at the Ps2 launch games compared to Ps2 games now, those aren't the fault of Sony. That is the fualt of the launch game producers.

Sporx, does your friend realize what he's done. Look at it this way, to do ANYTHING pretty much, you have to be able to save. Without the harddrive, you need a memory card. Cheapest memory card goes about...$50....


He lost about 20gigs of memory, for $50?...he shoulda saved up some more, sucks for him.

Totally depends on the game. If you sold the new tony hawk, you'd make $40, if you sell blade II you make $6. Supply and demand, you'll figure it out.

they are going in the upwards of $2,000 on ebay i just read on msnbc.com. so sporx's friend could make a lot of money if he went on ebay. i think he bought it to be safe. if you read what sporx wrote he said he bought it to have it since the $400 were sold out.

They appear to have dropped a bit, but a 100% profit isn't bad for standing in line for a couple of hours. 

But good lord - who pays double price?

All the PS3 stuff is fake... Every time there is a new console or game, most of the early stuff they show you is "proof of concept" Which just means a pre-rendered movie of what they think it might look like. It never does. Remember those movies for Ps2?
