Jenni. Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 You... are the colony.Yeah, I downloaded the "welcome to xbox 360" promotional video. I like how the unit is designed like an inhale. *inhales*The changeable face plates and the whole 360 guide thing seem a bit panny.At least it's quite attractive, prettier than an xbox. It seems rather girl friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skull Commander Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 The trouble with the next gen consoles is that the games are said to be comming out at a duel price scheme, with 'top tier' titles retailing at 59.99, and the lower tier at 44.99. It has been suggested that this could be just Sony and Microsoft that are going to do this, and personally I cannot see Nintendo pricing software that highly, as lately their attitude is to give the consumer as much value as possibile.

Guest Gasss Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Didn't some sort of quango lobby the games industry in the UK to reduce prices a few years ago? I remember this was at the time of 65 16 bit games and even 75 for virtua racing on the Megadrive. Consequently all games went down to 40 or less. Has this been forgotten about? (apart from partially by me).BTW my neo geo pad didn't work. At least not with the PS2 to Xbox converter I have.I lose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gasss Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 I'd pay 60 for the graphics alone...some of the vids are just awesom! Like a million hot dogs.NO!! that's what they want. The PS3 and 360 don't seem to offer any expansion of gameplay, just better graphics and online capabilities. The "HD era" can fuck off as far as I am concerned. I resent Microsofts plans to turn the online gaming community into a market by allowing gamers to exchange their own custom artwork/music/level designs for a small (but not negligible in my mind) fee. I guess it is inevitable somehow.I hope the Revolution does end up offering something genuinely new and exciting. Or else we'll all be paying 180 in ten years time for Need For Speed Underground: Rehash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Logan Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Did anyone see the XBOX 360 show on MTV on Friday? I appeared to have missed it. Bollox.The new console looks spiffing! Very sleek and stylish, will it have a place in my heart as deep as my XBRICK? And will it also burn a hole in my pocket as deep as the 300 I paid for the XBOX on it's first day of release? Only time will tell. Christmas time infact, as that's when it appears to go on worldwide release......they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tav Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 The PS3 and 360 don't seem to offer any expansion of gameplay.Sure they can. Imagine with all that extra power how much further they can push AI characters and physics engines. It is bound to have a profound effect on game play. As someone stated before it used to be 50 for mega drive games and I seem to recall some PS1 titles retailed at 49.99 when launched. If there is a substantial increase in quality then 60 may be an ok starting point. It's bound to drop. Also I've heard that the machines themselves wouldn't be overly pricey. This would tend to suggest that the increase in the price of games is designed to offset this. Just like buying a printer...you pay less than it is worth for some Ink Jets and then to make the money back, the companies charge more for the ink...

arcadian Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 one of the things i like about the new xbox is that the remote now has an off button! my laziness has been satisfied, no more getting up and walking 8 feet to turn the thing off!

Paranoid Android Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 I really couldn't give a fuck about graphics, they dont matter at all, in fact i dont really want my computer games to look realistic. Prices should be cheaper these days because the games are worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Jack Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Will it be backwards compatible though? I heard that MS still haven't said yes or no, and it's rumoured they're having trouble making it work with xbox 1 games. If it's not, that could be a major minus...

Spoonie Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 they've switched from a cisc to a risc processor i think. different manufacturers for a lot of parts. it's not looking promising because apparently backwards compatibility could cause microsoft to give away a lot of trade secrets to the likes of apple who use risc processors. it'd effectively show a super-efficient way of running pc stuff on macs and although u already have ways of doing that, apparently it's making them apprehensive./x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Ascension Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 apparently there's going to be 2 "bundles" for the Xbox 360 - one with a Hard Drive and one without.The Premium one has a hard drive and will definately be backwards compatible... dunno about t'other one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
