Xbox 360

scott8629 · Oct 10, 2006

Im thinking of getting one of these badboys.

A few questions

Do they look good on a CRT TV. I have a 100HZ Philips that cost me an arm and a leg 3 years ago.

I have heard that they are bringing a 100gb hard drive version out soon? True/False?

Will they bring the Xbox 360 have the HD-DVD installed inside the console anytime soon?

Im into 1st person shooters like medal of honour, any good ones out?

I also liked ww2 combat flight sims on mt PC a few years ago but I have not seen anything out for a while, any available on the 360?

Sorry for all the questions folks but the PS3 is delayed too long and will be too expensive at the start, I just need convincing to get a 360!

at the mo not many first person, but if u get new ghost recon u can set it as tht, but nxt yr nd seen there is new halo, also gears of war i read a huge article on it and it got an amazin review looks sick. I got one recently, as yet games ent tht grat but coming up there r some corkers.

Excellent console and great on Live. If it's this or wait for the PS3 then I'd choose the 360.

I don't think you'll find anyone that's got one that has any major criticism. The games are good (especially for the first run of titles), Xbox live is fanstastic and there's some amazing games coming out over the next few months, plus they've taken some of the PS3 exclusives away from Sony.

I find some FPS are nicely suited to console, others I prefer to play on PC. Doom 3, Quake 4 and Half Life 2 I prefer on PC, Call of Duty 2 I prefered on Xbox 360 as the pace suited a pad fine. GRAW is fantastic (though third person), Rainbox 6 Vegas is out next month and looks to be another great game. Obviously Gears of War has been making people wet for a while now and that's out next month. That's a game the PS3 won't be getting any time soon!!

Check out some of the COD 3 movies: http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=2650

And Gears of War: http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=1650

Obviously there's some decent car games already with PGR3 and TDU, with Forza on the way.

Just make sure its what u really want because once you buy one of those things, their value DROPS real fast.

Clart · Oct 10, 2006

You get TT6 on your phone sorted mate?

Clart · Oct 10, 2006

well, you can pick up a cores for under £200 now anyway, my premium was only £235 (hardly braking the bank is it). You must have been fairly desperate to practically HALF the price

Lee · Oct 10, 2006

I paid silly money for mine, as Amazon screwed up my order. I still think it was worth every penny the amount of use it's had since I got it.
