    So why dont you buy an xbox 360? At least you play games at home. So you dont have to come over you friend's house every weekend.

    i mean this..

    ms release the first version of xp after only testing its ability to run. this caused problems
    as some of u may remember. xp was a beta untill service pack 1. remember when xp said
    "35 mins to go" and 2 hours later it was done?

    now again with this 360. they released it early, and did not test it well and produced it too
    rushed. the original plan was to install hd-dvd and release when the others would.
    instead, ms wants to be a b*tch and decided to release there console out for christmas is
    short supply, forcing a "sold out" apperance to make it look better and more wanted.
    consequently to releasing the 360 early, several innovations were excluded such as hd-
    dvd. they stated upon the release of the 360 that they had no plans for use of hd-dvd
    whatsoever. now, if you notice, an external hd-dvd drive has been produced and is soon
    to be on the market. this will bring up the overall cost for your system by atleast 100-150
    dollars more than you baught it for, a needless cost that should have been included. they
    say right now that "the hd-dvd drive will only be used for movies and not games." but
    didnt they say no hd-dvd at all at first to sell the console with worries aside? so whats
    stopping them from making games on hd-dvd? gates has hinted that they may release
    future versions of the 360 with hd-dvd included, further shafting you beta buyers. after
    enough ppl have an hd-dvd equiped 360, they may release games on hd-dvd saying
    "since most of our 360 owners have an hd-dvd drive now, i believe a step into hd-dvd for
    games is in line."

    on a quick note, the 360 does not come wifi equiped, bringing your cost up another 100
    dollars if you so decide you want it. ps3 includes wifi built-in.

    buying a 360 now will possibly be setting yourself up for matters that will cost you more
    than you want. either wait for v2 or v3 and read ahead on ms's plans. dont get caught up
    in this unless you really feel you must.

    and there play at releasing in austraila stands for that date. they are producing new 360's
    for there, but i dont think they are going to be v2's. high chances are they will be the beta
    v1's.


    (to all you bashers out there, im voicing my thought out and well researched opinions, so
    no harrasing)

    Well Xbox 360 has problems with CPU and GPU overheat. UHALL's xbox 360 is an example. At the begining, he said his box worked fine. No problems with overheat. NOW he f u c k the M$ because his xbox is overheated. But it is not over yet. The heat keeps emmissing inside everytime he plays games. And the components inside his box will die soon.

    However, he is lucky. He got full 3 year warranty.

    Good luck to you if you want to buy Xbox 360 right now. I suggest you should wait until V2 is out.

    whoa, the controller thing, how can you trust wikipedia.
    ALL OF wikipedia info is written by OTHER PEOPLE, and ONLY other people.
    they also will not have personally held the controller unless they worked for sony or were a rep for them.
    so the same applies to you.
    what they said was probably not true.
    but i do product design (A-LEVEL), and ergonomics is everything is products such as that, and the thing with ergonomics is that if something is ergonomically good it CAN be *seen* as well as felt.

    well we can't do the feeling but it certainly doesnt look ergonomical, i can tell you that.
    it looks good because its different (but within seriousness it looks bad), its like some radical memphis designed controller. memphis is bad for ergonomics, as im studying memphis at the minute as part of product design, hehe.

    also try holding something properly that is very similaly shaped if you can find one. i have, definately uncomfortable.

    i have spoken to HARDCORE PS2 + 3 fans, and as predicted they say xbox 360 sucks, but that the PS3 ROCKS!!!!!, but i ask them what part they dont like, and ALL OF THEM have said they dont like the *gay* controller, in those precise words.

    im not being against the PS3 in any way, just expressing concerned thoughts about its controller.
    it seems that you took my last post as if it was against the PS3, when it wasnt. im not being biased toward any system here, just talking about worries over the controller.
    please dont assume i was bashing the PS3 again, when i wasnt.

    meh, well if you like it you like it, only expressing my worries about it.

    i could probably get used to it, its just that it would feel strange and take longer for me to get used to it and like it.

    revolution controller pwnes them all (if were counting differentation).

    for 'home turf' feeling the 360's controller is probably the most ergonomical designed and similar feeling controller.
    the PS3 controller is scary
    and the rev's controller is just awsomely different (and awsome in a different way), very very strange, and it will take ages to get used to, but its simply cooool.

    I remember that before xbox1 was born, I get used to PS2 controller. When the xbox1 came out, the controller is hella big (compare to PS2 controller). It took me a week to get used to xbox controller. Then I'm ok to both controllers.

    I dont know much about PS3 controller. YOu maybe get used to it after a week playing it.

    Really!!!!
    I dont think so. I heard on the radio last month that Gates is still #1 in the whole world.

    "Ikea", come on, dude.

    Thats what my dad told me. He reads the newspaper everyday, and everything about this. I think he should know. AS I said ill do research on this. Infact, i even think OPERA beat bill gates. I THINK is the key words, dont go crazy for me saying this. LOL

    Down but not out. I still have Xbox1 and P2. Bill gates has more money than opera can dream of.

    You say this, but you have no proof. You do know that OPERA is second to the qween. *meaning shes the 2nd richest woman in the world.
    THIS WAS ON THE NEWS, and on MSN news.

    Well opera is worth 670 million
    And bill gates is worth 100billion

    LMAO
    But i'm not sure if this is Bill gates alone.
    It may be Microsofts worth.
