So, future note, next system that comes out, pre-order immediately as many as possible and take out a loan if you have to, doesn't matter, you can more than triple your money.

Arghh!

Game Systems are going to be like Scalped Tickets!

I'm guessing you all like Brain-dead WWII first person shooter... for god sake AI please run when i pick you off one by one with my sniper rifle and not just stand there and take it.

Now I don't think I'm going to get one at all. I just got myself a sweet new gaming rig... so I'll just get Oblivion on PC when it comes out.

finally someone agree that xbox360 is nothing but a money waster!

EchoSex · Nov 23, 2005, 06:50 PM // 18:50

The ONLY WWII shooter ANYONE should play is Battlefield 1942, even IF EA is an evil company. Why? It's just so damn fun :3 Never mind if the story is right or any bogus stuff like that.. It's just fun and it's got the theme.

7 controllers are used for sports game so you could have an entire human team. I think I read that on IGN on the ps3 site. The article was either 10 reasons why you should wait for the ps3 or ps3 vs xbox 360.

Quoted for truth. Although I don't buy the conspiracy theories about an intentional shortage on Microsoft's part. This is simply what happens when you try to do a near simultaneous launch in three different territories. There simply aren't enough systems to go around.

PieXags · Nov 23, 2005, 09:33 PM // 21:33

Oh yeah, you guys and your XBox 360 are SOOO lucky.

Sorry, but I'd rather go with a PC and have NOT SHIT fps.

Green Booger · Nov 23, 2005, 09:47 PM // 21:47

Doesnt matter how much hype you give it, loss of money is loss of money.

http://www.businessweek.com/technolo...122_410710.htm

"An up-close look at the components and other materials used in the high-end version of the Xbox 360, which contains a hard drive, found that the materials inside the unit cost Microsoft $470 before assembly. The console sells at retail for $399, meaning a loss of $71 per unit -- and that is just the start.

Other items packaged with the console -- including the power supply, cables, and controllers -- add another $55 to Microsoft's cost, pushing the loss per unit to $126. These estimates include assumptions that Microsoft is getting a discount on many components."

Dont forget the costs of making a game are skyrocketing.

Perhaps we're gonna get another video game market crash again...tsk tsk.

The 360 is over-rated, it hardly looks any better then the normal xbox especially when you compare it to the PS3, I am an xbox fan and i wanted to like the 360 sooo much but i just cant with the graphics it has.

NINTENDO REVOLUTION will own all!!!

Ok now let me have it...

It was held back due to "not being done" for both Pc and Xbox 360. Even the head developer said a modern highend pc will looks just as good as xbox 360 version. That and the pc will have more mods from the editor compared to streamin some "mods" via Xbox live. aka I will rather have the PC version

1st-2nd qtr is the projected release date.

(Edit) Seems like some games, espically Project Gotham are crashing the xbox360

Microsoft really pissed people off with their half-assed system! Look at me.. i'm playing PGR 3.. oh crap it crashed again!

I wonder whats the real cause to the system crash? Bad hardware, rush out games with bugs? ... Either way, Microsoft still make money unless people in massive start returning their xbox360!

entropy · Nov 24, 2005, 12:02 AM // 00:02

Of course microsoft loses money on the xbox. It wasn't their point to make money off of it. They make money off Xbox live gold, and the games you buy thats why their 60 bucks. ps3 I heard is going to be 600-800 dollars

. So what if micrsoft wants to make more money? The reason I go with the Xbox360 is becaues I like FPS and thats what xbox is best at. They have the best FPS titles, Perfect dark zero is incredible. Not game of the year but really good. Call of duty is ok. PGR 3 is great game. Halo 3 is still in development but hopefully will come out nice. What has ps2 got? killzone? I admit that was a pretty good game but compared to what the xbox has I just have to choose that.

Though my favorite is still Nintendo revolution and the new controller design

It's too bad that computers are better for FPSs than a console, not just XBOX 360. Computers simply are the best with FPSs. Better accuracy, Mappable keys...

Correct me if i'm wrong but PS3 is suppose to be around 300 to 400 dollars so please don't mislead the public here!! Also FPS is what Microsoft is good at.. fat chance pal... Counter Strike source, CS, Call of Duty, Half Life 1&2 and others.. who made them.. NOT microsoft.. and what system were they for.. NOT microsoft. But hey if you want to waste money on xbox360 and be their servant... go ahead. I do admit PS2 will never make a great FPS game but they are not dumb enough to create a half-assed system like what Microsoft did with 360!
