noblesmelissa 0 #32 November 22, 2005 Haven't opened it...brought it home last night at around 12:30ish and immediatly put it in my closet... I might have a hard time keeping my hubby's hands off of it until Christmas, though... They passed out tickets yesterday in order in the line...24 premiums and I think 26 cores...

GTAVercetti 0 #40 November 26, 2005 QuoteArticle: Xbox 360 Very Unstable Of course. Shit is crashing a burning all over the place. That is the reason I never get systems RIGHT away. Well, that and I will not spend nearly a grand for a fucking video game console. Not when I got about 12 games sitting on my table for PS2 and Gamecube that have not been completed yet. That does not even include the Xbox I haven't bought yet! Plus, did you see the prices of the new XBox games? They were going for 60-70 dollars at EBGames. I mean, damn. RULE: Wait and buy used. You won't miss anything. There are still people online playing fucking Halo 1 and even Quake for the the PC. So, its not you are gonna miss anything. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome.

mdrejhon 8 #41 November 26, 2005 I heard it's the power supplies (again). One of the solutions to stop the Xbox 360 stablity is to hang the power supplies in mid air, or put a fan blowing at the power supply. Or prop it on the edges of an open box so that the bottom can cool itself. I don't think Microsoft did real-life testing of Xbox power supplies in the overheated crevice behind a very warm TV set...

ROFL yeah they just kept it in a 0 kelvin room whilst testing, come on. You can do as much testing as you like you sell millions of a product in a few days the failure rate gives a very skewed perspective. Personally I think you are gonna be a very very popular mum come xmas day.__________________ BOOM Headshot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexCrowley 0 #43 November 26, 2005 I'm with you. It'll be 12 months before everythings stablized, the next gen comes out with all the bugfixes, better cooling and upgraded firmware and the developers actually start coming up with games that use the new hardware in a way that's close to approaching its possibilities. That and things start getting cheaper. I dont think I've bought a full priced video game since 2003 except for GTA: SA, usually i just dig in the bargain bin for the top seller from 6 months ago. Actually I havent heard of a compelling reason to buy any system recently except for the PS 2 (Halo just didnt do it for me after the previews of what could have been and what it ended up being). TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely.; I bought GTA: SA new and that is about it. I am currently playing Paper Mario RPG, Metroid Prime 2: Echos and a slew of other games that came out at least a year ago. Its not like the games that are awesome are going to lose their awesomeness in the meantime. If it is fun, it will be just as good next year.Why yes, my license number is a palindrome.
