so, who's getting a 360? - aberdeen-music

i'm getting moist with anticipation for december the 2nd. i still can't decide which two games to get with my machine seeing as oblivion has been put back to next year now. i'm also slightly nervous about how many machines aberdeen stores will actually get.

so anyone else getting excited? what games you guys gonna get? any essential accessories? is anyone actually going to buy a core system?

please don't turn this thread into a sony v microsoft argument, sony will have their day in 2007 when the ps3 finally turns up

I'd get one, but I'm not in the money at the moment, so I can't afford it

I'll probably end up getting one in about 4 or 5 months.

I'm just gonna wait for the ps3. I don't want this to be the catalyst to a Microsoft Vs Sony thread, but various magazines and reviews have said that the ps3 will inevitably be better with processor power and all that blah blah stuff.

No-one quote me and start arguing about what I said, or you'll take away what the thread is about.

So to reiterate. No.

i think only time will tell about the ps3's power over the 360 so no real point arguing about what we don't know eh?

personally i'm just excited about the first next gen console coming out. been looking at screens of all the games this afternoon and getting affy excited. it's a toss up between condemned, gears of war, perfect dark zero, GUN and kameo. can't decide which two though.

Agreed. I think the estimates show that the ps3 will be twice as fast as the 360 (2.2 Terraflops or something). I'm getting the feeling that Microsoft are about to do what Sega did with the Dreamcast.

Perhaps they are releasing the 360 early because they know they will be outdone by the ps3 and want to get at least some early sales. (This was a suggestion by a mate of mine so don't have a go).

I'm going to wait for the ps3 and I'm probably going to get a ps3 also.

key word there is estimate. we don't know what the ps3 can do yet so there's no point trying to pop our xbox bubble just now. wait till both consoles are out then we'll find out who the daddy is.

the 360 is not going to be a dreamcast, it's got too much support and interest to fail. it might not be as successful as they hope but it might even surpass expectations, who knows.

Plus if you have a PSP you can use that as a controller as well
