xbox 360

[spongebob lover]

LOL!!!
i don't know how it's with the new xbox but the old one, i used to like playing live or whatever you call it, i think its more fun and you get to talk to people hehe

 

[diablo]

here's what i've noticed....
need for speed underground... I can't figure it out the movie that they play I cant figure out if its real actors that have a computer touch up or straight up computer generated charaters.... they look real..... the car detail is unreal possibly the best racing game they launched with. oh yeah its got short cuts, police chases, distractions to find as well.

call 2 duty 2 kick a@@ graphics real looking faces all out assult very nice but no halo!!! only played the first chapter so as I get more into it I'll update.

tiger woods (I love golf on video games) this game is different than before better graphics more intense gameplay didnt play it that long. I think I like 05 better so far..

tony hawk is tony hawk crappy graphics compared to what xbox 360 can do. no loading screens is nice but I need to find a different area cause its boring in the same spot.

madden 06 have not loaded up yet . I will update this tonight!

The system interface is alot different than the old xbox. kind of confusing but I didn't pay no attention to it. just kept thinking hurry up and put the game in I did get the premium package that has everything including the dvd remote. You can shut the system off from the controllers, and the remote.
Anyways I have to get back to cleaning and rearanging the apartment:evil:

I think it would be a good reason to come pick up my last 3-4 frags just to sit and check out the box

ohh dood that's just awesome !!!
when i played need for speed on the computer since i have a nice steering wheel , it was way way better, it was kind of hard for me on the xbox .
Call 2 duty looks like an awesome game and it looks very very real :doubt: .
you are so lucky dood, seriously .

jlehigh, if you don't mind me asking, what projector did you get. I am still waiting for an xbox360, and trying to decide what hidef TV to get. I still like the plasmas more, but the the price of projectors is REALLY tempting.

Amount of money lost by Microsoft on each unit..... $150.00, cost of an X box 360 retail...$400.00, cost of an Xbox 360 on Ebay...$5000.00...watching a whole bunch of fools stand in line at Frys out in the cold overnight waiting for it to open....priceless...:lol: Wow, you could really make a bundle on those if you wanted it sounds like right now:shock:

Saw on the news tonight where an older lady bought one for her son and got robbed at gunpoint after she got home. That's crappy. Lady sat in line for hours in the cold and spent her paycheck on son's xmas present and some SOB takes it from her.

Im not angry just bitter:evil: :evil:
11 hours outside best buy:evil: :evil:

 

[coralseas]

wow how long did u play your 360, i have played mine for about 5 or 6 hours and day and 10h the first day. and still working fine.

dude i stayed in line from 4pm to 7am , i was number 12, out of 14 p and 4 core.

but worth the wait

 

[diablo]

now it is working again be carefull where it is sitting. My guess is it overheated. I got a premium and everything was cool then it stopped and flashed lights, and thats what I saw from microsoft about the xbox.. I will still need it fix or replaced!!!! Im not dealing with overheating issues or hardware malfunctions.... but I can play again so im happy... yeah... oh yeah on madden 06.... if you have played the old xbox version. ahhh your in for a treat... way better than old xbox you can see the sweat dripping from their arms. The gameplay is so much smoother. unbelieveable!!!!!!!!!!! jiddy you got to see this one!!!

 

[Jiddy]

First of all about the broken Xbox, i cant believe my wish came true *im kidding* and about Madden, i know i tried it BestBuy yesterday when i was there at 530am, im sure my buddies will bring one to Guam so i play with Sweaty Men on Madden just like you diablo! LoL, glad yours is working well again, the old Xbox's did that too, and i must say MicroSoft CS is top notch, they overnighted mine back and forth like that as well, and really work with you

Projector

jlehigh, if you don't mind me asking, what projector did you get. I am still waiting for an xbox360, and trying to decide what hidef TV to get. I still like the plasmas more, but the the price of projectors is REALLY tempting.

Sorry, Jeff I was out of town. The projector I got is the new Panasonic 900EU I believe. It's predecessor is the 700EU and is virtually just as good if you want to save a ew hundred.

I find that "projectorpeople.com" is the best vendor and are VERY helpful not to mention the best prices.

It is an LCD projector versus the more expensive DLP. IMO You cant go wrong with either Panasonic models or it's rival Sanyo.

 

[Jeff]

Cool, thanks. I have been looking at the 900Eu as well as the Sanyo Z4. I think that I am probably going to go with a 50" plasma though, the prices have just fallen so much right now. I need to find a place that has projectors set up so I can compare them.

 

[jlehigh]

Plasmas have definately become more affordable until you want a larger size screen..

I dont reccomend using in-store set-ups to gage projector performance unless its a specialty dealer. Places like Fry's, Best Buy ect ect have far too much ambient lighting and virtually never have the projectors set-up properly. Some specialty stores like definative audio have dedicated projector set-ups but they rarely carry competitive hardware like the Panasonics because they would never sell another 15000.00 Runco..

If you have a light controlled room you really cant go wrong with the Panasonic 900. If light IS an issue then a plasma might be better. TBH though my panny still looks incredible with moderate lighting.. I love it... The first time I saw Master Chief on 104 inches of high def goodness, I almost cried

caution possible rant Ill try to control myself

:evil: :evil: now this is made me mad!!!!! I called them and they are shipping a box to send it back to them for repairs..... (this is the part Im trying to control myself)
WELL after my 12 hour wait in line.... to not receive one. Going back the following day to get my special ordered xbox from best buy in bellevue. commin home to play a wonderfull new system to have it screw up and have to ship it back, but now I wont have it back for 2-3 weeks "redmond is a half hour away" I know how krish feel's now!!!!!! he says bahama's suck well he has yet to meet microsoft!!!! sorry for my anger and I cant say no more right now!! If you experiance any problems with your xbox360 dont delay send it back... tons are getting sent back and they are getting backlogged so means longer wait times............:evil: :evil:
