we'll have to wait and see how the build quality of the elite's are, but remember, there will undoubtedly be problems with a certain percentage. i personally am waiting til about october, that is the rumored timeframe for the 65nm chipset to be incorporated into all 360's
yes, i do realize, but we are talking about CONSOLES. i don't care what games are avialable on the pc anymore, i have switched over to console gaming, as have millions, and so that is where i look for games now. my 360 has turned into what my pc USED to do. i use it to listen to music, watch slideshows of pictures, play games and watch movies. the only thing i use my pc for is web browsing and to record tv...and soon the 360 will be able to record tv shows.
i know there are...
multiplayer on the demo?? that is going to rock if that is true! the last game that had an online demo that completely changed my mind to buy it was Lost Planet. up til i donwloads the online demo, i thought it might be an ok game, then the online demo came and bam! great game!
i don't want to rain on the ps3 parade, but let's use a little perspective here...the ps3 increased sales (accoriding to a 5-week month) by 3,000 units....3,000 units. that is not exactly what sony needs to brag about. the 360 sales droppped 12% down to 199,000 units....that is still 69,000 MORE than the newer ps3 sold. until the ps3 sells MORE than the 360 in a month, why are we bothering with these dumb articles??
people are acting as is these sales numbers are going to b...
i'm not trying to pick a fight or sound like i am bashing you, but please explain to all of us how the looks of the layout of a motherboard affects graphics and what you see on the screen..i'm sure everyone here would love to be "educated" by you on this.....have you heard of a "tiny" little motherboard company called Asustek? when their motherboards came out people were ripping them because their motherboards were colorful along with the components they used and so peopl...
whether you believe it or not, i am on my original launch 360 (December 18,2005), and you can check out my posts on xbox.com about that since i have been posting that whenever threads come up about it. yes, the earlier 360's have had heating issues, but not all of them. people blindly look at forums and say "see, there are tons of posts about faulty 360's". so how many people do you know that have perfectly working products go on forums and start threads saying "hey, my 360 ...
i can't wait to play this demo!! hopefully it is as good as advertised. if it is, this game could start to pull some of those pc enthusiasts to the console.
so because microsoft is currently losing money, they are failing on the 360? so what exactly do you have to say about the ps3, which is losing MILLIONS more than the 360 did????
entering the video game market is extremely hard to do, and micrsoft jumped in and went head on with sony and playstation, which most thought was a joke. and now, we are seeing that microsoft and the xbox will probably have AT LEAST 30% or more of the console gaming market. they have a strategy, wh...
so you think that because something you will never see looks "amaturish", that it makes that product inferior? can you please show is specific examples and proof that shows an electronic performs better when it's internal components "look nice"?? absolutely dumb statement..lol
that comment doesn't even make sense "whats in the box is whats on the screen"....no matter how "great" a motherboard "looks", it has ZERO affect on how good a game looks. there is this little thing called a game DEVELOPER, and they are the ones that write code that translates to how a game looks and plays...the motherboard layout has ZERO bearing on a games graphics....i love how sony fans try to spin everything to make it seem like they know what they are talk...
yeah lets talk about buying an outdated unit....i believe sony already confirmed that it has DISCONTINUED the 20gb ps3...wow, that was a great 5 month life it had....yeah, let's bring up which company has an outdated console again....
once again, it is funny how it always comes down to ps2 vs 360...somebody please tag the ps3, it wants desperately to play lol
did someone forget to tell you that october is going to be the month when all eyes and attention turn to the xbox360? why you ask? ever hear of Halo3??? the 360 is selling more consoles than the ps3, even though it's been out for 16 months, and that is WITHOUT it's best selling franchise game being released for the 360. i can't wait to hear the excuses from ps3 fanboys when sales for the 360 explode once Halo3 comes out, pushing it even furhter ahead of the limping ps3. but i'm sure they...
exactly! nicely put. the ps3 is in a sad FOURTH place in teh next gen competition...somebody forgot to tell sony that their next gen console is supposed to be selling more than it's last-gen console...or at least sell more than the 16 month old 360....sad how all sony fans do is point to the ps2 vs 360 sales comparisons...what happened to all the "wait til the ps3 comes out, it is going to define the next gen console!"...guess someone forgot to tell sony that sometimes making a fa...
you honestly can't be serious with your dumb statement...think about it for a minute. you are ripping on teh 360 because the ps2 is outselling it. the ps2 is also TROUNCING it's OWN brand, the ps3. if the ps3 was selling more than the 360, you can start laughing, but you really are proving your complete ignorance and stupidity by laughing when the ps3 is in FOURTH place in a console competition, BEHIND the 360, Wii and ps2...lol HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA right back at you!
microsoft would be absolutely STUPID to add hd-dvd and make games on hd-dvd games...that would cause the biggest backlash from it's fans, and the 360 would die as a console, guaranteed....that should not even be a thought!
answer to 16.2
the only way you would be able to say microsoft is "screwing" people is if the elite had an internal hd-dvd drive and they started making games using hd-dvd discs....the elite has ZERO features that allow it to play more games than the regular 360's......
and the only reason people are upset is because they whine since they won't have the most current 360 model, and trust me, MOST of them don't need hdmi since MOST do not have a true 1080p tv, an...
how is microsoft screwing people?? they are offering MORE choices. If you want to see a company screw their customers, take a look at sony and the ps3. they NO LONGER give you an option of the $500 20gb model, they OFFER you a $600 60gb....hmm, nice CHOICES. don't you think that if the millions of loyal playstation brand fans thought the ps3 was a "great value" at $600, they would have already bought one??? sony fans waited over a year with delays, then found out they had to sh...
the only real good point he makes is that wifi should have been included since it is not really an expensive component to add....but he really makes himself look like an idiot with some of his points on why the elite is not "elite".
-it should be white not black....um, ps3?
- too many choices for buyers....um, so you would rather only have the option of paying $600 with the ps3???
- it should be more expensive than the ps3 to be called Elite.....WHAT?!?

i don't have a ps3 or any playstation product, but i remember playing final fantasy VII in college (my buddy had a ps1) and it was one of the best games i had played. if this game really does come out remade for the ps3, then possibly someday down the road i would get one to play nice with my 360
