Angry SoaB.... 360 Launch

I was just watching an article on the 360. They graded the launch and such, and then inquired with a M$ rep on what he thought of the launch. To be honest, I've been watching the 360. I knew it'd be a peice of crap the first few months. I even have 3 people at work that own one. It's funny b/c I predicted this stuff, and they all told me I was crazy. But, at the end of the day, no one listenned.


N E Rate... back to point,
the guy from M$ is sitting there and saying how they didn't expect the problems there have been with the 360. I can't believe you would say that, since there are inside sources saying that the 360 failed Q&A testing as well as th fact that support just wasn't there for launch. The whole system poorly planned and sub par.

Anyone else have comments onthe 360 launch?

Cha - if you get a console on the launch day, I should get a stick and HIT YOU. And say... NO. If you buy a console at ALL, I'll hit you.

IMO the onyl reson i would get a 360 is for Perfect Dark and no way i'm spending that much for 1 game even if it is a leet game.

PS3 is going to have better graphics according to game critic previewers and better lighting.

PS3 is what I'll get IF i get a console.

After seeing an interview with Best Buy about the 360, it destroyed discs, and the other one froze up hardcore every time they turned it on. Um, not buying one yet.

you're in trouble then b/c the same buddy of mine said Perfect Dark Zero was horrible. 3 generations of hype, and they didn't live up to expectations or make it a decent game.

Still, no killer apps, and almost everything major was post poned. It's like I said, I'd rather wait until I get my tax refund, then decide if it's worth $400.

Fun Fact: The most paid for a 360 was on ebay for over $10,000.
(what a yutz to pay that much)

Rumor, but I heard from an unreliable source that there were plans for GW on PS3 or 360.

Rumor only... but it'd be interesting.
