bboy

[celicarocker]

i went to walmart at like 8pm cuz i needed to buy a CD holder th ing for my sun visor. so when we get there, there is already like 15 people waiting outside for it. in the rain. so me and my roommate who works at a game store go to his work, grab an empty display box, and drive past all the people at the stores like walmart, circuit city, and best buy (who are all waiting in the rain like retards, they could have avoided that by putting down a $50 deposit on a preorder) and screaming and being all like "WOOOO WE ALREADY GOT ONE!!! YEAH!!!!" it was hilarious...

[creis]

^ nice, I alwasy though it was funny to wait out side a store for something, just wait a few days and get one like normal people.

I heard on the news a 360 went for like $2k on ebay or something, sux so much for the sucker who paind that much.

I saw on the news that best buy got slammed, Bill gates even showed up at midnight to a local one for the sale, I would have gone just to chat with him about the poject I'm on If i had known he was gana be there anyway I dont really care for consols, computers are so much better in the long run, I mean 400 for a a box that can basicly just do video games is a lot of money unless you really like video games. but I guess I cant talk I just spent 1400 on parts for a new computer that would put the 360 to shame

I'll have to see If i can get them at cost from the ms store, might get me one if I can.

[95CelicaST]

I have no desire for one, I like my PS2, because I already have the games I want.. Like San Andreas..

[BLINKYxMUNKEY]

mine should be the second shipment, but not matter what. i have to wait till xmas, because its going to be my main gift.

[bonzaisushi]

i got one, and its goin on ebay.

[lagos]

i want one...but i guess ill have to wait till they are in stock somwhere.

same here, my geforce 7800 cost as much as the much as the 360, and dont even get me started on the 4 gigs of ram and the 3 harddrives, lol.

[BBoYRuGGeD]

well im a big time hardcore halo player (any1 wunna challenge me? ) so the xbox 360 is basically a must for me (halo 3!!!!!)

yah people around here was waiting the night before in the freezing rainy cold just for a console. i didnt have to...i work at costco and i just walked in from the back before the store opened!

yah i was watching that console sell for 2k on ebay on my computer this morning...thats just crazy man!

PLayed it. Not that great if you ask me.

[jdg371]

[Blakout16]

i was one of those poor souls who waited from basically the store closing till the store opening and the group of friends i was with got 5 xboxs so a night well spent, and a very cold one. im glad it didnt rain :-/

[WannabeGT4]

I was going to start a new topic but this will do.

This is an ad for the XBOX 360 that's not going to be aired:

It's a shame really. I kinda liked it.

[Mike]

I'm waiting for PS3 just for GT5..

I'm gonna wait a year or so after it comes out because I really don't feel like paying so much damn money for videogames

[soulshadow]

God dam! U guys must really be computer nuts. Than again so am I! My next plan is to dish out 5K on a computer system that will cream any others! Dual Video cards, 2 CPUS, SATA HDD and DVD, 4GB of RAM. Ahhh the possibilites.!!!!!!!!

[slipgun]

it doesnt make sence to do that... you will have the best computer for a month you are better off spending 1500 on a computer and upgrading it slowly. Just my 2 cents...

[lagos]

not to mention that most games dont take advantage of a 2nd cpu

[Digndoug]

We had about 41 people waiting in line at CCity.. only had 19.. already got 2 back today that were eating disc's.. sucvks for those people.. waited all night to get a busted pos..

[Tweek]

baahhh... microsoft is trash. I'll wait for my PS3. I'd never buy a microsoft machine. I'll take my g5 anyday.

yep, I got a 7800 GT OC the other day, and I got a AMD 64 X2 4200, 2 gig's of ram 120 gig SATA drive (120 is more then enough space really) to plug into my new ASUS MB, that will all fit nicely in my new case, soon to be watercooled coming in the mail, no xbox for me, I want a better system, plus it will render my HL2 maps so fast, wile I do other crap (duel core and all) I cant wait to get it running.

PS3 is gonna thrash the 360 man.

Seriously, wen i played the 360 i didnt see anything revolutionary, i only played call of duty 2 and it no diffrent then what my pc can produce, i wouldnt get a system just for halo 3, besides halo 1 2 were crap and i dont see what so good about it, the graphics werent even that great. what ppl fail to see is that microsoft likes to hype evetything to the point were ppl get hypnotized, then wen the day comes it just disapoints, i mean look at fable. what a load of horse ****....

if squareenix ends up remaking final fantasy 7 for ps3, sonys got me baught hehehe

bring it! i could beat your a** down in halo 2 havnt played live in awhile, my gamertag is celi97

PLayed it. Not that great if you ask me.

me too, it was not what i expect out of next gen. i know i will end up getting it just for halo 3 and forza 2. but right now, honestly, not impressed at all by the 360's lineup. im very excited about the nintendo revolution.

[celicaGT96]

PS3 is gonna thrash the 360 man.

Dude, Im sooo with you on that one!!

[Teoll]

Its funny that you mention driving by Wal-Mart and seeing the line ups. I found this on ebay, looks like there is more of a downside to waiting in the line ups. Looks like this guy lost his job.

Found the story quite amusing and thought I would post.

[bloodrain]

Half-life 2 and Battlefield 2 do, thats why I want a 2nd GF7800 so I can run SLI ^_^, oh and btw 4 gigs of dual channeling is awsome. If any1 wants 2 play some bf2, hl2 or quake 4 let me know. Or CS:S, gotta love it.

[WannabeGT4]

Yea for Micro$oft!

That looks worse than the blue screen of death from long ago. I think this could rank right up there with the PS2's DRE problem.
Prime examples of why I always wait on buying new technology until all the bugs have been worked out.

this guy is full of ****. you know what kind of demand is on for the xbox 360 everyone wants it so when it comes around for ps3 which is a step down from xbox 360 either way they wont have the money and the parents would have already spent the money on the kids with the 360. now halo 1 and 2 were great games anyone that has a different oppinion needs to stick with there ps2 (piece of **** 2). now fable was a crap game. but u just got to realize sony is about to get beat out of the market they waited to long. thats why xbox put there new system out first to get the holiday crowd first. to make people stand in line. hell a woman got jacked of her xbox 360 here in georgia . the guy saw she had one followed her to her house and held her at gun point and took it after she waited in the line that must have sucked. to big of hype for the ps3 to beat it. DOA4 will definetly take best game of year.

how is the ps3 a step down? did you know xbox failed in japan? Thats why sony will be in the race, doa games are always the same, boring crap, that will never be like soul calibur, they desicrated perfect dark, i hear that the 360 has something similar to the blue screen of death, some of my friends are disapointed cuz the 360 hasnt delivred anything revolutionary, im sorry but from my experiance the 360 is an unreliable peice of crap that looks like it can be used as a Suppository.

ps blue ray will dominate./....

[Celica_Fan]

xbox sucks ps2 is the highest selling games console in the world and xbox will lose again as soon as the ps3 comes out I do hope they change the look of the controller though.

[creis]

Perfect dark for n64 was such a good game, I wish they put in on PC rather then a console for the sequal.

I personaly like the blue screen idea, if it fails you know, rather then it just sitting there frozen, or if you have seen Red Hat f-ed up you would like it too, nice to have a notice of a problem rather then a messed up screan you have no idea whats rong.

[cyb593]

look at the stats if a ps3 and compare and contrast. also every system has glitched just like cars its called recalls. no **** dont like it dont buy anything. and DOA would splatter soul calibur, no one wants that crap. and its the same crap just like soul calibur its the same also so get over it it will mutalate the ps3

also why you will be looking at ur loading screen for 10 minutes just like all the other ps's i will be playing my video games.

First off xbox 360 is a powerfull system but its like comparing apples to apples, both system has the highs and lows, but the real comparison isnt the graphics, or at least it shouldnt be, its the line up of games..... thats where sony has its strengths, capcom, square, scea, i forget the others but you get the idea.. otherwise id have a 360...

oh and ps3 has full bacwards compatibility, xbox has it but limited........

and i still think they desicrated perfect dark, that was best fps ive ever played.......
