Post subject:  XBOX 360
The XBox 360 officially came out yesterday I think.Heh, I watched a whole special about it's release on G4. I have to say, the 360 looks good. It's supposed to be much better than the old XBox, about 80% more powerful, too.

What do you guys think?

I've always just kept to Sony.... simpler for my money spending @_@ Most of the games I want come out on Playstation anyway though so luckily I manage fine (apart from the odd game or two... rats). So I won't be getting XBox 360 I think, but nice to hear things are progressing fast technology-wise. My friend might get it. I wonder what PS3 will be like. I haven't kept up too much on the Next Gen stuff. Only know bits and pieces such as the controllers maybe. I hear 'on paper/stats wise' its more powerful than Xbox360 and Nintendo Revolution o_o; 35x more powerful than Playstation 2 according to a site I read. But we'll have to wait and see what its actually like in action, I'm ready to admit manufacturers like to shout about their products. ._.

You mean the PS3 is going to be more powerful than the XBox 360 and the Revolution? Wow, that's powerful. I can't wait until it comes out. ^_^
But what's with the PS3 controller? It looks like a boomerang. I thought that was just a prototype controller, is it the real thing? :?:

The PS3's controller is still prototype and on the specs note it is a more GRAPHICALY powerful system. but really graphics cant get that much better. the PS3 runs on what is caled the CORE, the CORE is a combination of seven different processors. now having that many is very unuser friendly giving developers a headache to work on their product. now the Xbox 360 has three powerful processors that, even though less powerful than PS3, are more user friendly.

so I think in the future of gaming you will see more and more companies selling to Microsoft.

As long as most of the games I like are still on PS3 I'll be happy hehe -~- If I can help it I don't want to have to buy more than one console o_o; But a friend of mine gets them all. ^^
I bet all the consoles specs-wise probably have advantages and disadvantages ._. It gets confusing (especially for me... all those specs comparison thingys I see are over my head @_@ ). At any rate they'll all be so much more powerful than the last generation... And I hope that the next Final Fantasy game is an improvement on Final Fantasy 10 (didn't strike a chord with me as much as 7, 8 and 9) :cheer:

Mostly the hype over this one is that its going to have a new Xbox Live enhanced service for every game, Custom sound tracks for every game, and the ability to connect with outside computers ( so in theroy you could download game mods like on PC games)

thats about it.... um it looks nice too

I still don't consider it a big deal *is taken away by the angry X-Box people and fed to the Yellow Knife* oh well, I bet it is still nice ^^

I heard that people are complaining about the 360. Does anyone know the nature of the complaints? :?:

they were mostly minor(and that will happen with the launch of any new consol) the most common one were the powr cord pack was over heating a lot, when playing PGR3 it would freeze up, and a lot of the emulators needed patches.
