So true. That is why I don't have an 360 or a PS3, but I do have a ridiculous gaming rig with blu-ray/hd-dvd and a 24" widescreen.

Originally posted by Rodrico hahaha, what a piece of shit system, I played a game briefly for like 10 mins, noticed a decent amount of noise coming from the xbox just reading the game, so when i tilted the system a bit to hear where the noise was coming from, all of a sudden my the xbox went crazy and scratched up my NHL 09 so badly I cant play it anymore. So my first expierence with my xbox 360 is that it likes to scratch up my new games. Hilarious.

The 360 has excellent games, a state-of-the-art online interface, user-friendly dashboard, and one of the best controllers ever made.

...But the system is an utter piece of shit. If the console isn't making a ridiculously loud buzzing noise when playing games, you might be treated to random freezes when navigating the dashboard, encountering a Red Ring of Death (ultimately resulting in a useless system that no longer turns on), or perhaps a complete lack of connection with Xbox Live, despite a fully functional ethernet cord plugged into the back. The physical aspect is the one thing Microsoft really fucked up with the 360.

lol define ridiculous?
Been meaning to upgrade now. My 22" widescreen is...ok. Still running on my 'old' 8800gtx now, thinking of picking up a gtx280 around January, with a bigger screen and newer CPU.

bioshock is awesome but there's a better version coming out next week on the ps3... improved graphics and more content...

this ones an old xbox game but a great rpg that you can play on the 360... star wars knights of the old republic...

Playing Crysis at 1920x1200. Once I throw in another video card to run crossfire I'll be kicking serious ass, but right now I haven't run into a game I can't run near maxed out.

Holy geez. I can run it ok at 1680x1050, and not on Very High.

hahahaha did the exact same thing and I ruined NHL 07 back then... fuaakkk never move the system when it's running.

Bioshock is fucking boring btw, way too slow.

Get Gears of Wars and FIFA.

lol.

I never really understood people who spend fortunes to get these monster pimped out systems just so they can turn every single option to the absolute maximum. Oh well, I guess I've obsessed over dumber things in the past.

I can run crysis at medium-high on a 500$ rig and I'm pretty satisfied with that.

yeah, picked up a new 60gig bundle and got another nhl 09 to replace my first one, so far so good now. Just picked up Tales of Vesperia, and got Fable 2 on pre order. I really like the xbox live features compared to the ps3 online store, alot more to look at and browse around for.

If you have any more problems with your DVD drive make sure you take it back immediately and save yourself the headache.

I've been fortunate - I've only had one die on me, and it happened after having it for 3 years. Replaced it with a newer model with a BenQ DVD drive, and absolutely no issues since.

Paid $1100 including close to $400 for the 24" widescreen. But it isn't about turning every single option on. It IS all about not having to upgrade for a few years.

The last gaming box I threw together lasted for about 4 years before I started having trouble running current games forcing an upgrade to a newer system.
