There are some decent JRPGs on the 360 though. |
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. |

hahaha, what a piece of 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 . 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 ed 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. |

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. |

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. |
