X Box 360 Yes or No ?
« on: 05 November 2006, 21:56:01 »
Its that simple!!!

Was at a mates and was amazed with graphics of FIFA 2007 on the 360....got all the consoles in the house or rather Markiec junior has!!

Its wheted my appetite for the xbox 360 even though it seems really NOISY!!

Found a great deal in Argos - £279 for full system, any game ( id go for pro evo 6) and an extras pack ( extra controller, steering wheel and loads of other bits) theres about a £120 saving apparently.

So should i go for it or not?

If i do it means tomorrows gonna be expensive - £500+ for vx parts for the SRI, and an xbox.

Note to self - must go to work on Mondays its cheaper!! :y

I have a 360, though I only use as a Media Center extender, not really for games (other than the freebie xbox line download demos)

It is noisy - they all are....

Yes the 360 is excellent... but!

I would hold fire for 2 reasons.

1. The PS3. It will redefine gaming, simple as that. While I am no fan of Sony generally, they sure know how to make consoles!

2. Since the PS3 is coming, how long before Microsoft drop the price of the 360, to get as many people buying it before the release of the PS3.

Oh and there is the little matter of Nintendos offering....  ;)

Thats a good point Dave - my heart says buy it - but i guess in 3 - 4 months i will be looking at the xbox price and the ps3 and thinking...why did i buy - lets see if i can get through the day off without making a rash purchase  :) :y

Another thing to consider is what do you have at the moment and do you still want to play the games you have for that system?

I was put off sony by the number of failures I had with the PS2, after 4 lasers they changed it for a new console. The new one is fine it just put me off a bit!

Even so I will probably end up with the PS3 and a 360 through pester power!

They do make great consoles now, but did't before.

The original playstation one was designed by Nintendo! They didn't like for some insane reason, and sold the design rights to Sony...

They thought their N64 with its "cartridges" was the way forward!  :-?

Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE).  Seems bizarre, but plug it into your TV, and it becomes a hub for your media...

Records programs easily (similar in function to Sky+), plays DVDs, plays all your MP3s etc, views digital camera pictures. Can get additional plugins to do loads of other stuff. And because its a computer, you can surf the web and don anything you can do with XP (assuming your TV is clear enough)
