Anyone got an XBOX360?
« on: January 05, 2009, 06:54:36 AM »
And if yes, is it fucking noisy when a disc is playing..I mean like Oil tanker's foghorn loud?

Wondering if I should take this shit back.

Mods, feel free to move this shit to the E forum, I can't fucking find it.

I went with the xbox because I prefer the xbox exclusive games and the graphics are slightly crisper and more vivid, despite the PS3 having better hardware.

It's the noise of the thing I can't stand.

My niece bought one month and a half later DEAD , Microsoft admitted they rushed it into production to beat the PS3 and that's why it has a host a problems , Microsoft payed out the ass for all the problems associated with the X-box

you don't have to pay to play PS3 games online either

Define dead first. As for ms admitting, yes you are right, the did release a beta version back in the days they were worried about ps3, it was really a bad move, but the new ones aint failing.

I got a 360, I flashed it as soon as I bought it for my game "backups"  ;) Fucker got the problem all the 360's get where the solders breaks away, had to fix it myself as MS wouldnt repair it since I opened the case to flash, seem ok now though.

did you flash it or paid somebody else to do it? im not really good at doing such things by myself, got the kit and everything but i paid some guy to do it, in front of me, cant complain, he did a good job, just like you, i need to play my backup games lol

Did it myself, wasnt too difficult with the right hardware.Be careful on live though, im assuming you either dont go on it or you have latest firmware and stealthed games.

XBox rushed the initial builds to market, but made up for it with a 1.1 billion dollar write off by giving anyone whose XBox malfunctions a free repair and a three year warranty.  The new ones don't have the problem.

PS3 online is free because it sucks.  The XBox destroyed the PS3 in this generation of the console wars, and the numbers prove it.  There are very few exclusive PS3 titles that are considered "console sellers", whereas the the Xbox has franchises like Halo and Gears of War.  It also has a much higher attach rate.

The Xbox has a much superior online experience, and will continue to do so in the future (for example, Netflix HD streaming will be awesome once the library is increased).  Sony took a bath on the PS3, because they thought everyone would shell out $600 for a blu ray player.

I loved my PS2, and even borrowed a PS3 to finish the Metal Gear saga, but would never consider buying one.  Sony just blew it this time.

From what I understand it's $50 a year which isn't bad but it's still not free

yeah its noisy

i keep it along with the other stuff behind glass doors

as far as ps3 goes i guess they need a little time to figure the hardware out etc before they will be able to take advantage of the extra power

Unfortunately, the time on this generation of consoles is almost up.  Don't be surprised to see the next version of the XBox come out late this year or early next.

How is Xbox live better? I've never played it so I can tell the difference , I'll tell you what I'm a bit disappointed with the games on PS3 thus far , love the Blu-ray played and the backwards compatibility

you dont need an extended warranty for a 360, they fix them for free and pay for shipping and handling

Ive sent back 2 360s  :-\

that part sucks but its just a better system with a far far better online system than the ps3 and has better and more games etc

Im going to dog the ps3 though----im going to be getting one soon just for the bluray----its worth buying just for that alone
