Xbox 360 - So, what else will blow up?

[resurie]

*shotfortitle*

What say you, my friends?

I don't plan on buying any of the new systems, but psssh. XP

Then again, it's Microsoft. They'll find some way to be at the top despite this. >_>;; In my opinion, at least.

[Pinkechidna]

Wow, those are some nasty-ass crash screens.

Well, as with the PSP, I'm sure they'll continue selling like crazy despite the launch problems.

It does make me angry, however, that the next gen systems don't seem to want to work. Methinks the developers are getting extremely lazy and are doing rush jobs for Holiday releases.

[Lovely]

New systems pretty much ALWAYS have problems when they first come out. Remember the overheating problems with the PS1? Remember the unplayable CD's in the PS2 ?

In the end, it doesn't really matter to me. RPG's normally don't start coming out until a system is about a year or two old. And by then, a good portion of the problems with the systems tend to be worked out. AND the systems are ussually a good deal cheaper.

Ah, it's a good life being an almost exclusively RPG-gamer .

Y'know....the thing is...the Xbox itself never really appealed to me, let alone Xbox 360. Maybe the first controller is what turned me off, even still with the smaller size one, I still think its looks like theres so many freakin' buttons!

Also, I'm maybe only interested in a select few games for the system [Xbox] as a whole. And other stuff like hard drive this and plays DVD that....well I think I have something like that, its called a PC

Oooh but the Xbox 360 has better graphics! *cricket chirp*

But anyways, my Xbox rant aside, Lovely pretty much hit the nail on the head about the 360, as well as launch systems as a whole. After all, lets not forget about the coupl'a flaws with the first PSP releases (Particularly the dead pixels and faulty Square-button.)

(Oh and sorry if I offended Xbox gamers out there, but I just honestly think that the system is wee bit overrated)

meh, I don't know.. I'll be wanting a Revolution, maybe Christmas 2006. =D The X-box never really caught my attention, it may be the games... I really play only RPGs and Mario. And by Mario I don't mean like in Super Mario World, I find platformers ridiculously hard. >_>; I mean like in Mario Kart and Super Smash Brothers. Those guys are always worth having when cousins and such come over.. So I'll be sticking to Nintendo. =P Hopefully there'll be more RPGs for Revolution than there are for Gamecube...

damn, I went off-topic, right? ; *killed*

gotta agree there.. XD I was talking about the 630 with friends at lunch the other day... so what the 3D is now even more 3D... seriously how much more 3D can we get before people are getting motion sickness from playing the game . ... actually it;d be funny to hear something like that on the news one night XD CHILD GETS MOTION SICKNESS FROM PLAYING XBOX 360

My brother DID almost get motion sickness from playing the PS2 game Simpsons Road Rage... but probably because he overplayed it because that never happened to me.

meh I think I'll just stick to no games... and PS2 for when I DO play games... and computer of course.

Hey anyone still have a super Nintendo that works? My borther has one with 21 games (most were bought after playstations came out, I'm supprised the thing still works.) Honest to god if they could make versions of games today for one of those it would rock.

A little fun fact for y'all: A lot of Japanese gamers aren't really into 3D 1st person shooters on the basis that they get motion sickness. Which I think is probably one of the reasons that the Xbox didn't do so well in Japan.

it would be nice if we had RPGs for us Nintendo fanppl...but lemme ask...how in the world are we gonna play RPG's on the Rev with tat dam remote-control for a controller?

The controller's motion sensored if you've seen that little clip. I've only seen screenshots but it looks like you could control a sword just by moving your arm.
