So they have a hard drive, woo... I've never filled a card. lol When I stop playing a game, I trade it in and erase it from my card.

The only other real advantage to the old XBox over PS was it's Live format. But I don't even use my console online. Plus, I imagine the PS3 will improve on it's online performance.

A hard drive allows for faster load times becuase much of the game is installed onto the hard drive. Plus you can throw on music to listen to if you don't like a games soundtrack. Also, it allows for extra content to be released for particular games. For example, you could download new Halo 2 maps through Live. Of course, these maps would be far to big to fit on a memory card.

Xbox 360, the newest geek toy, was released last night. It is in the nature of geeks to prove to one another that they are the geekiest of them all. The ultimate status symbol of geekhood is having the newest, most expensive, geekiest toys FIRST. Therefore, rather than actually battling for geek titles, (they are simply geeks after all) they just waited around doing nothing for hours in order to prove their geekiness.

This doing nothing activity will now continue for months and months to come for those who managed to get an Xbox. Except now they'll have flashing pictures in front of them and a controller in their hand.

Kapish?

you coulda stopped after word 2, but thanks

I've been hearing good things about the PS3. It's supposed to have the best videocard in existence and have the entire system or something set to run it only.

But xbox live is a paid subscription isn't it? The Japanese Nintendo 64 basically had those capabilities as well with the 64DD.

didn't read my post in the other 360/PS3 related conversation thread eh?

blah blah.....Gaystation 3 is gonna have great graphics, I don't care. I guess I'm really not all that big on the graphics, really. I mean, I'm sure its gonna look kick ass, and the specs prove that its gonna be stronger than "360", but it really doesn't sway me. Their exclusive lineup of games is getting weaker, and not stronger. Thats enough for me. haha!
And by exclusive lineup...I'm talkin the good ones. I know I'll get shot for this, but the Resident Evil game sucks. Like J. Edgar "sucks".....

I need me a 360.....I think I'd just about eat a pile of turd if I could track one down right about now.

I think it's obvious I didn't.

You'll really see the PS3 pull ahead when the developers take advantage of Blu-ray's 25 to a possible 100 gb of space per disc.

Really, it relies on the developers. The PS3 as a system is surely going to do it's job. And I fully expect the smart developers to take advantage of the amount of freedom they have with the space on the blu-ray discs.

The Xbox 360 comes with a Xbox Live Silver. Silver is offered to everyone, Gold requires a subscription. Silver allows you to download extra content, talk to people over live and post high scores. What it does not do is let you play online. Secondly, the 64DD was far more limited than an Xbox with Xbox live.

[Joe Cooler]

Ahh yes. Regardless, those issues will be sorted out. In the mean time I'm wondering why Sony is not changing the design of their new controller. Every game puplication under the sun has poked fun at it.

[Axtech]

Because it doesn't matter if people poke fun at it? It could turn out to be a comfortable controller.

[Joe Cooler]

It very well could be, but it does not appear that any buttons were added so why change the design? I can understand slight changes, but a complete revamp?

[Axtech]

Well, a redesign might be worth it if the controller is more comfortable. Won't know until it's in our hot little hands, though.

[Lando]

What people don't see is that this is the EXACT same controller as PS1 and 2, only instead of squared off edges, it's a perfectly round boomerang type of shape.

[Axtech]

Actually, I think everybody gets that.

[Axtech]

Okay, two threads (well, three really) discussing XBox360. I'm going to lock this one and the conversation can continue in the older one.
