Nice!


:confused: Unfortunatly I will not be jumping the gun this generation. I intend to wait at least 1 year before I buy any next gen console.

I\'ll buy a console when there\'s something good on it.

Which is why I estimate 1 year before we see the well developed games which will take advantage of the Nex gen hardware.

I\'m buying I gave away my xbox and ps2. So I am on board to buy the next xbox. I\'ll probably get a ps3 on launch as well.

Computer Science and it\'s tough with all the projects you have to do. Every CS and CIS class always has multiple projects:(

Never trade in your systems or games at your local gaming store.. they will rip you off.  You can always make more selling it as seperate pieces on Ebay.  Got over $300 for my ps2 and like 10 games several months ago.  I would have been lucky to get $150 from a gamestore (remember, they offer you less cause they still need to mark-up the prices to make money off of you) ;)

Whell I dunno if that\'s neccessarily true. I traded in Kingdom Hearts into my local EB so I could buy the Matrix Reloaded DVD for $1. Back then it was like $29.95, so I guess it wasn\'t so bad. I suppose for the most part though, what you say is true, JBean.

Yeah, because when you graduate colllege you move into the world of lala land where the magic trolls come and clean your dishes.  Where unicorns graze in your front yard.  Where lepricons come over and feed your children.

Then of course you win the lotto and you have cash.

Either that or you work your ass off like the rest of us.  I had far more free time in college than I do now.

I have a couple of XBox 360\'s pre-orderd, but I might not bother keeping one of them.

The Xbox launch lineup might be one of the weakest launch lineups of any console.

I have yet to see one Xbox360 launch game that would make it worth owning the 360 early.

Omg I knew someone would see it my way ;) ;)

As you iknow, allot of people pay college with there own(not daddy\'s) hard earn money so that we can excel in what ever field we undertake. Plus alot of us have to work numerous jobs just to survive while in school. TO many people in college here do not take class seriously enough. The ones that do usually are the ones whom succeed when they get out in the real world, depending on what particular field they take, as this is not always the case.


Let\'s see:

Classes
Study
Projects
Socialzing wth friends
girls, girls girls (way more important than video games)
Job

Pretty crazy shit if you ask me, heheh

A good fellow video gamer friend I met in school is planning to become RP Nurse, do to the nature of his study he has lots of free time to play games/prowl the clubs for women far more often etc....

 I am planning to become a Naturopathic Doctor, 7 years of hard schooling which means HELL, and Almost no time for games
:confused: :confused:  
I have to make sure that I only play the AAA cream Del a crop titles for they will be the ones that I would be willing to sacrifice my time.

My original point still stands “it all depends what particular study you choose to endure in college that will determine the amount of free leisure time you have"

so far I have seen none. I really have no idea if any games are worth owning.

I have not heard or seen any titles for the launch of the xbox 360.
All I can do is say I suspect d0a4 to be a launch title. I have no idea what games will launch with the console.

I guess things will pick up in the next month.

MS originally hoped for 25-30 titles at launch.Now if I am not mistaken they are targeting for 15.Still a pretty good  number I must say.
 We havent heard about a mindblowing title planned for launch yet but some games announced sound good enough.I dont think the impatient will be dissapointed if they buy an XBOX360 at launch.

Perfect Dark is the only one of the bunch that I suspect could achieve Halo-like status.  That is if Rare doesn\'t fuck it over.
