Handy. Oh, and you can use USB sticks to save the content you download which is far more cost effective than what Microsoft is doing.

That's true, memory cards are insanely expensive, but microsoft is smart, they've patented all of their hardware, including controllers etc... so that 3rd party companies who want to make accessories for the 360 have to pay microsoft to do so.

It's a great way to assure that people buy official products instead of 3rd party products and they make way more money... Which is pretty much the goal of any company.

It's still the exact same, just like XBOX. As for the Revolution controller, it will also have adapters to turn into classic controllers like the gamecube's, so that you can play older games normally. The fact that they're trying something new just adds a brand new aspect to gameplay.


Lando....you know I love ya, but obviously I'm not the only one that thought they looked "whack", cuz Sony scrapped the idea, offically. Thank goodness.

That's fine with me, just as long as they're actually going to change the controller a bit. Longer handles doesn't change anything...

To anybody with a "360":

If anybody is at ALL interested in buying "Fight Night: Round 3" or "Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter", let me know.

I'm selling them......to make some more cash to afford my girl's ring.

Fight Night is SO good though.

I own Ghost Recon already, so I can't help you with that one and when it comes to buying USED games, I wouldn't offer you much for Fight Night.

At least you'll be able to afford it before the PS3...

Note: Peter Moore, from M$, said that Halo WILL be making a debut a E3 in May.

Sweet.......some sorta Halo3 information, finally. Supposedly, Forza 2 is also going to be making a debut.

Nintendo never was good with names. It'll sell like hotcakes in Japan though. That much I know.
