I seen the biography of garth brooks of all people yea i know bleh. Anyways I think he's richest country singer. Said he had enough for his grandkid's grandkids. They asked what is enough money to where you will have enough. He said it will always be just a little bit more.

Apple actually got the mouse idea from Xerox but I think the bigwigs from Xerox didn't like the idea so Apple bought it or something from them. But Bill was there to steal the idea :lol:

And the thing is, Xbox 360 might be rushed but "statistically" speaking it is better than (or atleast equal to) the PS3.


Sorry I can't take you seriously knowing that you've already pre-ordered/paid for one of these things. Normally I'd want to debate it but you seem overly biased.

Some food for thought, EA also has the money and resources to put out a good basketball game in under 1 year, have they done it since 2000?


Biased? Isn't that basically what everyone is? Everyone has an opinion, and obviously yours is anti-Xbox, so in technically you don't want to get in a debate with anyone.

As for the graphics not being so great, have to played a game yet? Have you seen the capabilites of the 360? It's not just the amazing graphics but it's how much they can fit into the game. Games are going to be so much more in-depth now than they were on the other consoles. The Elder Scrolls RPG game has an "environmental control" type thing. Where the trees will actually grow and the scenery will change over time.

But screw it, I'm a biased fuck. But who cares? On Nov. 22nd I will be in video game heaven. :cool:

Oh ye of small mind (jk jk) ask Bang how anti-Xbox I am. I own an Xbox, I refuse to even touch the inferior PS2 and I'll preach about how great the Xbox is until I'm bored, but in my opinion the 360 seems rushed, unnecessarily complicated and not as good as it really could've been.

Can you please tell me how good it could have been? Because it's equal, if not better, than the PS3. So what does that tell us about the PS3, especially considering they have 2 years on Microsoft.

Fri Nov 18, 2005 1:00 pm

How do you know it's equal, if not better than the PS3? Have you played a PS3? I know you're just going off the "specs", but things aren't always that black and white.

I've played the 360 at Gamestop and it looks flat out amazing, especially considering the game coders and producers aren't even close to learning all the capabilities of the 360.

Of course I haven't played a PS3 but the specs are similar (and Sony is known for lying about specs to make their system look better), but there have been videos and stuff and they look similar.

I read that PS3 will have bettre graphics than the 360 but not by much, like you cants really notice it, I mean if you were to have both systems runnimng at the same time and the tvs set beside eachoter, than you cants really tell the difference. I used to be a sony person, but Im going towards the 360 cuz you can do a lot more with it.

And I doubt you can get a 360 at launch date unless you pre-ordered it cuz basically every store is out cuz everyone pre-ordered a system. I doubt you can get a system even a month after the launch date.

Fri Nov 18, 2005 1:17 pm

I have mine pre-ordered but there are stores that did not do pre-orders (I believe Sam's club and Best Buy along with others). So if you want one you can camp out at midnight on Monday to get one.

games will be the same for the ps3 and 360 for a long time. Then when they get old they will try to squeese what they can on them. Only then you will be able to tell which has more power. 360 has better specs. Sony is known for making thier specs more optomised for games. The ps2 had low low specs compared to xbox and they almost kept up with xbox. Xbox was released 2nd though giving them upper hand and they barely beat ps2 in power. I'm sure sony will make the ps3 worth wile if they are waiting this long. They will probably make it super anti-exploit and I hate solder is the reason I will be turned away.
