Me Me Me :D not a "fanboi" statment, I just will be getting every next generation console because I’m excited about the prospects of each console, Oh and its released 10 days after in Europe after America so its December the 2nd for us.. I will be getting the Premium pack with Perfect Dark 0, Kameo, Project gotham 3, cannot wait to be honest. :)

I honestly think I'm going to wait on this one. Atleast until the prices go down.

I'm gonna wait it out as well. I don't ever buy consoles the day it's released. I'm too cheap for that. XD (I'll wait about 3 years before I get mine)

And even so... none of the games above are all that interesting in my eyes. The only game I may check out on that list is Quake 4 and Need for Speed. Other than that..... "shrugs"

TtTackler Nov 14th, 2005 05:26 PM

I am. Along with Condemned and Madden.

Condemned is going to be the sleeper hit at launch.

ive played the 360 at best buy, all i played was call of duty and it just seemed like the average genetic fps for pc, il probably buy a 360 later on in like 2 or 3 years

Huh? Call of Duty, let alone part two, is not your average FPS. It is an andrenaline rush from start to finish.

I have played call of duty 2 on 360 too, it does look like high end pc game (shit I ain't complaining) but the gameplay was hardcore and as TtTackler said, its a good rush. It's not average according to most reviews it has scored very high, I dunno though if to buy it or not, going to rent it because most of my friends completed in 2 days on PC, but then theres xbox live for multiplayer so I dunno..

Hehe, I was just going to make a thread like this yesterday.

Anyways, no, will not be getting one. I pretty much decided to stay away from the Xbox 360 until there are some games for it that are actually worth getting one. Like my Xbox...I only have three games on it that are Xbox exclusive while the rest are all multiplatforms. It was such a waste of money and space and I'm completely pissed off by it. So again, no.

Don't mean to go off-topic but does anyone know if there's going to be a "Halo 3" for this? Just curious because of just a little quote I read in the recent issue of EGM:

"The fact that they feel the need to have [Metal Gear Solid] tell you that [the PS3 is] powerful...that could be seen as a sign of worry or weakness." - Microsoft Xbox VP Peter Moore, in full spin.

Well I could be misinterpreting this quote, but what about Xbox's constant need to have "Halo"? I mean, come now...

Phenom Nov 15th, 2005 07:23 AM

Lol. I wouldn't look too much into it. Even though MGS is being made for the Ps3. I would wonder if they would be able to keep up with it.

And yes, I think they will be making a Halo 3. Crazy ass endings needs a finishing touch these days. But still, if Gears of War don't put them over..... then Halo 3 will be in the making for sure. Atleast that's the way I say it.

Yes, Bungie have confirmed so, rumours that it will be released the day the Playstation 3 is released.

TtTackler Nov 19th, 2005 06:23 PM

Halo 3 will not come out the same day as PS3. Bungie denied that statement awhile back after Bill Gates said it. Halo 3 will come out when its ready, unlike Halo 2.

goodman Nov 21st, 2005 11:27 PM

Im getting a ps3 on release day, think i will prefer that.....

DSgamer Nov 22nd, 2005 07:28 PM

hey my brother ended up getting it so im gona go to his house to try it out later lol il post my actual thoughts after i get to actualy play it

DSgamer Nov 27th, 2005 02:11 PM

the system is pretty sweet actualy, but after reading some stuff on all the errors teh console has been getting we decided to sell it on ebay and save up for a ps3 :)

Nothing really impressive enough to warrant a purchase for this gamer. Besides DOA4 of course, but i 'm not a big enough Team Ninja fan to drop 500 dollars for one game. I think summer of '06 will be the time for me to pick one up. By then the new system will have a reputable line-up of games.

Sleazy P Martini Dec 4th, 2005 09:48 PM

I will buy it when it's cheaper, and there's a mod scene.

Berserker Dec 12th, 2005 09:48 AM

Played it yesterday NBA Live and Call of duty. NBA Live looks great but not much is changed IMO, you can play around while the game loads, great but it's still loading(quite long may I add). Call of duty beautiful beautiful beautiful, very intense gameplay, but still I get the same feeling when playing a FPS shooter on the XBOX or PC...you enter the room enter ze zermans! and you start blasting away. I don't know, I can't help but feel a little dissapointed I expected more from a next gen. I think the second or third wave games will settle things and start showing what the machine is capable of gameplay-wise. BTW the controller is great, heavy compact, wireless, you can switch the console on/off with it. I think they got the ps3 beat controller-wise by the looks of it :laugh:
