XBOX 360 to be unveiled on MTV

Hopefully it doesn't take arm strength into consideration!

Just game on your computers guys. Toss the 500 bucks you'll spend on the system and games on Ram and a nice video card and you have a great gaming system. The games are always expanding and growing, and are light years ahead of consoles. Not to mention, many more control features, etc.

Granted some games (racing mainly) and sometimes sports I prefer on a console, but everything else I prefer on the computer. Bungie is rumored to be making a new game somewhat similar to myth (www.playmyth.net)[myth's free if you want to try it let me know, when they were bought out by MS they gave it to the community], that will probably be ruined by going to Xbox because they can't match the complexity of a keyboard and mouse.

I agree with that. The only reason I have consoles is because the games seem to come out first for them and later for PC.

Graphics on a good PC tear up a console any day.

i mainly only play sports games, and to me they are much better on console, so i don't mind spending the money on a console.

besides, i spend 8+ hours a day on the computer here at work. the last thing i want to do when i get home is sit down at the computer to play video games.

I'm with you on that

BDBohnzie · 04-14-2005, 01:31 PM

that's what a recliner, a wife to bring you things, and a console is for

TheMalcolmConnection · 04-14-2005, 02:33 PM

I can't wait to have kids and play PS2 with them. I think a single tear will roll down my cheek when my sons get pissed that their Madden Redskins team is losing to MY Madden Redskins team.

Oh the memories.

How much was the XBOX when it first came out, I should remember since I was working in an electronics store at the time, LOL.

All I remember was it being quite expensive, hopefully it will be a bit more reasonable this time around.

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-05-2005, 09:34 AM

I think it was $300-$350...?

BDBohnzie · 05-05-2005, 11:16 AM

it was 300...because i remember ponying up like 400 something to get the extra controller, the dvd setup kit and a game or 2...

and now they're like 120...

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-05-2005, 11:33 AM

Yup. Now you can get an original Xbox for $150 and then have enough money for both Halos, wireless controllers AND DVD kit, without even breaking $300.

I love technology.

I guess some how the spec's leaked out here is the web page for the supposedly NEW XBOX

JEEZ! Those specs are CRAZY. Leave it to Microsoft to basically make your console a PC. It looks pretty sweet too.
