XBox 360 "are you wanting it" thread

[Mookies]

I don't believe anything until it comes out.

[Meat Puppet]

good graphics make my brains bleed
so if it has crap graphics, I will probably get it

I'm sorry, but they sound like the lamest team (from TheColony thing). This is not that impressive, but at least it is progression. Let me see PS3 and Revolution though, they sound more interesting.

backwards compatiblity? didnt microsoft say that they were to busy wiping there butts with 100 dollar bills to add that? and anyway, i heard that after alot of game developers saw what the PS3 could do, they switched there exclusive projects over to Sony. so xbox 360 = pointless.

Xbox is the Republican teenage acne faced apathetic gamer... i hate it... the 360, cant offer anything the ps3 cant do.. so ill just stick with ps3

and Xbox... ehh... i hate microsoft and i love sony.. enough said...

I am not excited. I want PS3 more as it will be the most powerful(by a lot) next gen. I am also a lot more excited to see what the revolution can do. If does 3D vision type stuff then it will be awesome to play pretty much any game. Imagine playing a game like Rainbow Six 3 online in real 3D! That would be so smurfing awesome.

Long dream short. XBOX 2 is too soon and will suffer for it with power.

Whether I want a game machine or not depends entirely on the games themselves, and so far, there haven't been any games that have made me crazy about getting an XBox 360.

Ditto. And if they release a Halo 3 that will just turn me away from it more really.

Yes, everything I've read has pointed to the XBox 360 not having backwards compatibility. I don't know where Joel got the idea that it will.

and anyway, i heard that after alot of game developers saw what the PS3 could do, they switched there exclusive projects over to Sony. so xbox 360 = pointless.

Well, people said the same thing about companies shifting support away from the PS2 to support the XBox when both systems were new, but I don't think it really affected anything in the end.

[Erdrick Holmes]

It'll have backwards compatability, I'm pretty sure about that.

I'm leaning more towards XBox 360 then the PS3, because personally, the PS1 and 2 consoles have less games that impress me then they have games that I either don't want to play or games I'd like to douse in acid. While XBox games, most of their games I like, the only ones I didn't like were the sports games and those real-life special ops games like Rainbow Six and Splinter Cell. (Sorry, but I dislike games with too much realism).

[ZeZipster]

That new Morrowind Oblivion is supposed to come out for it.. So, I suppose. But I'm honestly not to psyched about any console coming up.

were there any other kind of games made for xbox..? I hate sports games and since xbox is so heavily dominant on that i hate xbox, its a circle of hate ^_^

The ps3 will have video chat ^_^ and the EyeToy is pretty kick ass... that alone is enuf to make me chose over xbox 2. ONE thing I DO like Xbox for is DDR ultramix cuz u can download new songs and characters, but im sure once ps3 is out they will be able to do that too w/o many fees

[Super Christ]

*not excited*

IF it is backwards compatible, I MIGHT get it within a year of when it is released. Otherwise, it could very well be 4 years. Regardless, I'm going after the Revolution, and possibly the PS3, first.

[Maxico]

Why Xbox 360? Are they trying to imply that its just the same?

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

They couldn't go with XBox 2 because people would look at PlayStation 3 and XBox 2 and decide that three must be better than two. They couldn't go with Xenon because it reeks of codename and I guess it wouldn't have XBox name recognition. So XBox 360 it is.

It'll have backwards compatability, I'm pretty sure about that.

Sources, Joel.

Pretty much all of the info I read about 360's spec leaks. I had a link to it but I lost it. Besides, I don't see why it SHOULDN'T get Backwards compatability. If I know Microsoft they'll put it in just to make people wanna buy it more.
