Ok lets start off no flameing no fanboyisimis just what you like about the system ok?
I am not a fan of the 360 for 2 reasons bad launch/hardware and lack of games since the 360 was not going anywhere I desided to tag a Xbx with 6 games for 120$ and I am enjoying it!
the 360 looks bland and pointless if you don't have broadband...
Things are looking up for the 360 tho a new hardware revision,new games,sony yet again dcking around with gamers,ect,ect,ect
I am a FPS(NON MODEREN WAR/WW2 SIM) and RPG fan I also like action RPGs or fun action games so tell me all the enat things about the 360 I might tag one without a HD when heck gets colder so tell me what I might like so I can thaw some..its cold here 0-o *LOL*
(BTW if a mod thinks my questions are to much or to little go ahead and fry the thread better for a mod to be frist and last flame!)

I like how it is in High Definition. I still gotta get myself a HDTV though. I like the fact that all the games have achievements so you can look at your friends or anybodys gamelist and see how far along in certain games they are. The ability to download game demos off XBL Marketplace before you buy them is pretty cool though too.
Big Thanks To Jamaal10! |

*pokepokepoke*
only works if you gots teh broadband :P
ya thats nice but what good games it has thats not on PC...basically to me its still in its growing faze and the quick launch was a preme birth....to soon to bugy,because of that for it to meet my seemingly high expectations it will take another year of growth for the 360 to mature enough to make it worth looking at again.
I like the WII and well sony is just ticking me off more the more they play with them selfs in public....I'll stil admit the PS3 has the msot potential but ...ggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr there pising me off as much as MS did with the 360 ><

Oh yeah, I forgot about the broadband part. I'll admit, The 360 doesn't have the biggest selection of games out yet but there is more to come. And yeah, The 1st one are buggy but what system isnt, right?
I myslef, had a 1st version one but it froze up constantly and now I got a new one that was made in February, hopefully after the bug-filled ones were corrected.
Big Thanks To Jamaal10!

Meh its only really a bit more powerful than the Xbox,theres a reason they call it the 1.5 its because the Xbx is built for POWER,but that slight aside give another year to the programmers and the games should be able to tap more power making it more a 1.8 *L*
still tho it dose have some neat up and comings.
andersg
Some say bugy games some say hardware I tend to err on hardware...at least from what I have seen and heard it is more than the PS2 maybe half as much or maybe double but the PS2 seemed to have more trouble in the first 2-3 years not the first bloody year sure new systems are buggys but this buggy I worry for,new revisions of the 360 should ht the streets before or after Xmas so the hardware aspect is improving the console as a whole is improving its just.....my god what a suxy start I mean I had a higher opinion of the Xbx when it first came out 0-o
Lost odsyess and whats the other RPGish game that will be out sometime soon? they are RPGs and Gears of wars seems to be a must for the fps side of thigns,I dont count Oblivion as a fps or RPG....sicne its kinda a mix of things its hard to tag what it really is *L*
the 360 is getting their but I am still jaded from the launch..and cant stop complaining ><
Mmm wait till the PS3 is out I'll btch at it next :P
Or I could start now on the WII yet again we have another pad thats not left handed friendly....whats up with the hate to the left handed gamers? or the fact that simple options like switching what analog stick you use is not a option in TODAYS FING GAMES.....I am not left headed..I am a south paw...might as well be left headed tho I use the left thumb to aim had to mod a PS2 pad to work on a game that was giving me grief..the pad is holding up...but tis not goign to last....

What do you mean by bad launch? And ms has extended the warrenty to a year on the launch systems because of the hardware prob. The newer systems have already been taken care of. Never heard of Sony doing that with their bad lasers.

That's a decent deal. I use to be a "Sony's the best and MS is $hit!" guy. That's until I actually got my hands on one. I can't believe how much more I like the xbox. You can do so much more with it.

Then won't all other systems?

Im left handed but I have gotten used to using my right hand for everything gaming related.
EDIT: Yeah, I used to be just like Bhetrick until I got an Xbox and never looked back. I never uysed to hate Sony but I was undecided about it but now I now MS is the way to go. For me at least.
Big Thanks To Jamaal10!

I bought my Xbox in 2003 and I must say even though I had it modded I have never had a problem with it where as the replacement PS2 I got in 2003 had to be replaced 6-8 months later. (I was using it for games primarily with maybe 1-2 dvd's a month IF that).
So yeah I'll probably be picking up a 360 in a year or two when there's a lot of games out for it and when I can get a HDTV.
Spellcheck is a nice invention.
Using BitVomit hurts the swarm your in, get a decent client.

If I'm correct.. you can set the 360 controller up for left handed in your profile.

That's what I meant..... but, as I'm not left-handed, I wanted to find out where in the 360 dash the settings were. I searched and couldn't find it. I knew I either saw or read about it somewhere. So I went through my 360 manual and couldn't find it. I then googled it and found Llamma's southpaw mod. As soon as I seen it I remembered that's where I had read about it before. At the top of their tutorial they state this:
Quote:
ATTENTION!! There is no real good reason to do this mod as the 360 handles Southpaw Mode in the player profile. Way to go Microsoft! We did this mod prior to the release of the 360 assuming that we would be in the same boat as with the original Xbox, but we are pleased to see M$ remembered all those southpaw fans out there!
So either I missed it in my 360's dash or they're mistaken.

basically you have to have a HD in it and download MS's official emulation setup that only covers 1/3rd of all Xbox games,reason #1 why I gave the bird to MS.
Altho if MS dosent pick up the slack moders should havering something nice by maybe this time next year :3

Cool andersg, I didn't know you were a southpaw. I'm left handed too. I'm used to games that favor right handed players, and I've adapted. It's probably why I'm not that wild for fps games. I never chose southpaw controls when available, because they aren't available in all games and it's best for me to play one way all the time. Still nothing has been as bad as the Atari 2600 joystick.
