Who's Ordered An Xbox360?

[Kop_007]

I think I might order an XBOX360 for Christmas.

Shortages are worrying though.

Who's ordered and from where?

What's my best bet to make sure I get it before Christmas from a UK online shop?

Later.

 

[Steve-O]

saving for PS3 instead.

 

[Vimacs]

I dont see why anyone would want that overpriced pos.

 

[mattmagoo]

im gonna wait

i was gonna preorder the 360, but then the rev controller was revealled

if the controllers a gimmick (likely) then ill get the 360, but im in no hurry as the games will be 50 quid each on launch, something i cant afford

 

[tekt5]

I plan on getting one someday but first I need to buy a car and would like to get a gp2x

 

[loz_the_guru]

until i can download the games and store them on an upgraded HDD, i shant be purchasing.

 

[Memnoch]

I'd order one immediately if I could afford it. I'm broke though so I'm going have to try and resist buying one on my credit card.

 

[Goity]

ewwwww M$

 

[deadlychicken22]

M$ fucked up the pc world and now they're trying to fuck up the game world to. No matter how good it is, i will not buy one.

 

[Jegriva]

Such a reasonable way of thinking!
(I am ironic)

weekly deliveries apparently. Dont worry just be happy

i preordered ages ago.


Also how can M$ fuck up the console market. the xbox 1 was great and much better than all the other hardware available (except the gamecube which was innovative and the dreamcast which was just brilliant).

Nice one, Fisher.

I've pre-ordered at Play.com.

In my opinion, the XBOX was the king of the last gen consoles

I got p!ssed off with slowdown In PES on the PS2 - so I sold it.

It meant waiting a little longer for certain games, but the improved graphics, loading times and features (like custom soundtracks), made the XBOX better than the PS2.

The gamcube just fizzled out for me. The only thing I consistly played on it was Smash Brothers - best game on the gamecube. StarFox was also excellent (but once done..) as was Star Wars. Mario was crap (what's with all those monged up creatures) and cell shaded Zelda was ok, but the new one is the way they should have went.

A major draw of the XBOX though was my modchip which allows the XBOX to do anything...which is why my old XBOX will be staying under the telly. XBOX Live is a revolution in consoles as well.

However, even minus the modchip capabilites at launch, Microsoft have won me over as a customer. They provide what I want, and they do it well.

Now to decide which game/ games I'll get at launch...

£279.99 Delivered all in at play is tempting, as i need to upgrade my graphic card soon and i may just hold off and get a 360 instead.

if only they had keybaord/mouse support

 

[lubidog]

I'll get one at launch!

I don't care who makes them, as long as they make them well.

I really want to get into network gaming, but not rpgs again. FF11online almost ruined my life-seriously, all I did was play on that damm game. So online quick games are what I want...

But Nov 11th-Mario Kart DS ONLINE!!!!

I'll never buy any gaming system as long as it costs more than 250 Euro.

What is it with the XBOX 360's USB ports for the wired pads?

I assume it's so you can use your XBOX 360 pad on a PC and not standard USB perps on the XBOX 360?

 

[Goity]

The xbox 1 was the most awful piece of dog crap ever to be created, and all it had gameswise was ea's rubbish and a truckload of boring FPS's, and it looked horrid.
And worst of all it was made by microsoft!

It's so microsoft can shove a bog standard pc into a relatively small case and call it a new console, just like they did with the original.

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

i would never buy a m$ related product other than windows...and thats cuz i cant use linux

 

[Huxley]

I dont see why anyone would want that overpriced pos.

Are you talking about the PS3 or 360? Either way I don't see how you can rationally jump to such conclusions considering neither console is even available yet. For a guy with 'I will always use Google before asking dumb questions' in his sig, you don't half come out with some crap sometimes.

I got p!ssed off with slowdown In PES on the PS2 - so I sold it.

Well, I've played both the Xbox and PS2 versions of PES extensively and while the slowdown in the PS2 version is mildly irritating, the bugs in the Xbox version are just plain infuriating. I mean, it won't even allow you to play a two-player game if you're the away team. How monged up is that?
