I bet if Apple actually did make a console, there would probably be 5 games for it, and it would cost 2gzzzzzzzzz........ Xbox360, looks a little bulky. The new PS2 is half it's previous size, so why not show up sony, and make their console smaller; meh maybe something to come in the future. I like the faceplates, that's a nice touch. |

If I got an xbox 360 it would be for 2 reasons, Perfect Dark Zero, and the amazing online interface they showed at E3.
Yes, the controllers are a rip from DC, but so were the originals. They were just fatter, less comfortable, and black (With a tint of green if you noticed). Hired applauders? Sad. I DID think it odd when the guy said that the 360 would be backwards compatible with the "top selling xbox titles", rather than EVERY ONE. The supposed eyetoy rip is infact not one, its supposed to be used as a webcam of sorts for video chat via xbox live. Stating that a color scheme is ripped from something is just pathetic. Thats like saying that the Black and Decker Wet/Dry Vacs they sell at Sears are ripping their color scheme off of my old high school, both of which are red and black. Colors dont mean a thing, especially not in terms of ripping people off. OH NO, THE CONSOLE IS WHITE!! Jeez. |

Microsfot Claims that they won't be able to produce enough Xbox 360's to meet demand. I SAY A LOAD OF BS. Sony did the same exact thing with the PS2 to artificially inflate the price. Don't fall for this scam, there will be plenty of Xbox 360s to go around. |

The computing capabilities of the Xbox 360, if true, are quite amazing. Three PowerPC processors, each handling two threads, for a total of six threads at once? Stunning. I'm impressed.
Not getting one, though. I don't console game anymore. Don't game much anymore, at all. But a 360 would almost be worth it for Perfect Dark alone. I loved PD for N64--still play it even now. I was disappointed when MS bought Rare and cancelled PD for the 'Cube. I'm glad to see they have restarted the project, because Perfect Dark is by far my favorite first-person shooter. It's one of the view that combine an interesting and engaging story with good gameplay. |

Xbox 360 will launch for $300, games will be $60.
So if you buy the console and one game, the price will be $360. |
