Title: Early X-Box 360 Reviews
Post by: Mr. Kennedy on November 19, 2005, 08:18:42 PM
Somebody botched the call...

Early Impressions (http://news.com.com/2061-11199_3-5960385.html?part=rss&tag=5960385&subj=news)

Not all bad, but come on Microsoft, this is disapointing, even for you.

microsoft can\'t do anything, PS3 is right around the corner, and the market knows it

Until Xmas 06, patient gamers will have a considerable spending budget.

By that time we will also know more about what all parties can bring to the table. Basically, my PStwo, Xbox and PC have another year of life in them.

I see a nice game like PGR3 in stores \'now\', but that\'s certainly not enough to go and buy a new console.

Man, I would rather Sony wait  untill 2007 and they take there time to release the machine they hype.

I also think it would be better if MS and Sony split console cycles runs at every 2 1/2 - 3  years, but thats an unlikely scenario.

There\'s another competitor in 2006.....

the PC !

the new videocards in 06 will show their force, so MS will have to make sure anything on Xbox360 will look at least as good as what that Geforce 512 or Radeon1800XT PE card can push.

It\'s a fight for consumers\' budgets ; an upgraded pc plus xbox360 gamepad pc version Versus Xbox360 itself....

This doesn\'t make sense. The PC was always there and they barely or even have any effect on console sales.

There was never a console more powerful than a PC, even at launch.

Crackhead.

The PC is no competition. It is a different beast altogether and people don\'t typically buy $500 dollar videocards for x-mas. PC gaming is a breed of it\'s own and should have no mention in this thread.

Oh and Xbox 360 launch = failure by all accounts. It was rushed. They announced the system,  next thing you know there is a release date and now the suppose killer apps are either bein\' delayed at last moment or not even goin\' thru testing.

Maybe for Jap gamers but I have yet to hear one single person talk about the PS3 when determining their decision to buy a 360.

lol yea, it just goes in one ear and out the other for me.  More like not everyone is on Sony\'s junk like you, especially after how well Xbox did.

And why would something that comes out well over a year later affect a purchase now?  Hell you don\'t even know what exactly is gonna be ready for PS3 by then. Hopefully this time around they\'ll atleast be able to put together something that resembles good online gaming.

considering all the xbox 360 games are getting such mediocre reviews, i wouldnt be surprised people will think the ps3 has "more time" to make better games when it comes out.

sidenote: are ps3 games going to be 60 bucks too? kinda ghey..

Wait a second, thats whats supposed to matter to the company.  I didn\'t know you had something invested on the console other than it being fun. :rolleyes: Think before you post please.

And I\'m not saying the 360 launch is anything special.  I\'m not going out and buying one but depending how the next 6 months go I know the PS3 being way down the road wouldn\'t affect my purchse of a fun console.  I don\'t have something to prove by sticking with Company A or Company B.

Changed...

Oh and, sales were just one thing.  I\'ll give you that on a personal level they don\'t matter.

But there were those oh so memorable XBox titles... :rolleyes:

I\'m not saying PS2\'s were anything great, to be honest my favorite games were on the Cube.  But let\'s not glorify the XBox here Bizio, it didn\'t exactly bring anything new to the table.  The 360 doesn\'t appear to be making any strides either...

not when you have to pay for it. I dont expect amazing online stuff..but i play online fine..i go on madden, hook online, challenge, connect, and play. No bells and whistles. You get what you pay for so id expect xbox live to be flawless.

Hahaha, theirs always something to cling to.  Well you have fun with your very poor but free online play while I\'ll pay less than 14 cents a day for Live.

Heheh, no.. i meant \'prematurely\' as in ; the fact that it\'s way too early say wether Xbox360 has succeeded or flopped ... because usually that\'s what such threads usually tend to rapidly evolve into ; premature judgements.

I played it on saturday and wasn\'t all that impresssed. It was probably the game. The game was terrible. Shitty graphics, really jagged edges, physics sucked. I hope they really do better (and I\'m sure they will).

They were supposed to send Need for Speed with it but he recieved Kameo instead.  Turns out they\'re gonna give him both, the Need for Speed is just coming in a couple weeks.  Kameo so far is a lot of fun, don\'t know how long it is though.

I\'ll pick mine up in the morning, but my HDTV won\'t arrive until next week.

I stopped off at Walmart before work tonight, and there had to be 250 people in line.

I\'m LMAO, cause I figured maybe 20 people will get one, the rest are just wasting there night.
