XBOX in general is crappy in my opinion. I believe that the physical looks are Equally as important as the game play. If its something thats going in my bedroom i want it to look good, and shitty-shaped, poorly color-shemed wank boxes are just NOT acceptable. PS3 ALL THE WAY! (AND Nintendo revolution)I wont be buying a psp. ive got the DS and im happy with that. Im hopefully getting the old GP32 for xmas and im gonna save up for the PS3 or N Revolution next year.
Shab my brother spilled a large fountain coke inside of his xbox and it worked fine afterwards and never gave him any problems.He sold it to a friend and they have also never had problems out of it. I have an xbox myself and its never given me problems.
People need to stop being so uptight and saying "fuck this system , this ones gonna own it 1!!!1!!!~"
Thats not the point. The point is to play the games, not bring another system down because you cant afford it or dont really want to get it.Being a fanboy is lame.Im sure pretty much everyone that owns or wants to own a nextgen console, would like to own the others, even if they bring them down all the time.
I've heard about the problems with the xbox 360s , and im disappointed. I wonder what the hell went wrong over at microsoft to cause the xboxes to do that. Thats unlike them .
Chocolate covered cherries > what the fuck makes an xbox different? A gamecube is . . well a cube, and its not very pretty. A ps2 is basically a rectangle, so is a ps 1. older systems are squares and rectangles too. All you people that bring systems down probably havent played them much at all.

Also , about the good/bad ps2s. Didn't sony have a recall or something like that? I think the ps2s made before a certain time had problems reading discs and such. It was corrected, but i dont remember how.

I bought a new slim PS2 3 days before it came out, and it's not had any troubles yet. Although, they did send me some return thing about the power cord.

I still have an NES that'll run provided the cartridge is good.
But as for the Xbox360, I'm not even sure if I'm going to get one, I can live without FPS, and Halo is about the only thing I'd be interested in on the Xbox360 that isn't coming out on the PC.
I'm just gonna save my money and get myself a Revolution when it comes out.
(I'm sorry if I just turned this into a console war thread)
Mr Derek_Reaves. please call me CCC is thats any easier, (not meant to be an insult although it could be?) The Gamecube was daring. The idea of a cube may sound boring but infact Nintendo managed to pull it off just fine. it is in my opinion, one of the best looking consoles out there. Ps2 may have been a "rectangle" but i dont recall Xboxes being able to lay horizontally or stand vertically for practicality? The xbox was ugly. Microsoft take a basic shape and deform it slightly or add little bits and pieces, like the orignal Xbox and 360. However, their shapes are so unique or unusual that they are not always to everyones taste and most certainly not to mine. Also, Shiny plastic illuminous green shit stuck onto matte black shit looks cheap and nasty. Microsoft were trying to look futuristic and ossum but seemed to fail miserably. the controls also have too much going on, can be tricky to use, and like the console, look frigging cheap. But hey this is all just my opinion. Alot of peeps think the looks and style dont matter but i think they are damned important. I dont think the Psp is that special nor the DS. Nintendo Revolution is the sexiest outta all the new consoles i recon....
I think the Xbox 360 looks great. It comes out here in the UK on Friday 2nd December, but I have a *gloat* arrangement where I can get one a couple of days earlier
I hope it does work, but according to Gamespot these problems are in the minority of Xboxes. Its probably the best looking console at the moment.
Hey, all I'm saying is that Sony and Microsoft need to improve their manufacturing/design. Both PS2 designs were fundamentally flawed, and so was the Playstation. Microsoft relied on some of the crappiest manufacturer's to make the first Xbox, and it showed; from the dozens that stopped reading DVD's because the Thompson Electronics DVD drive died (Though, I give them credit, if your Xbox did this and you had a Thompson DVD drive, they replaced it for free; even after the warrenty). I'm waiting to hear what the problems actually are in the X360, but I'd suspect crappy manufacturing again. (And obvious lack of QC)
I'm not saying that every PS2 and Xbox is going to die, or that cubes don't. But it's obvious that Nintendo has better manufacturing processes. I'd love if I could go out and buy and X360 or Ps3 on launch and known within a 99% chance that I won't need to get another one 2 years down the line because it was crappily manufactured. (Especially with the increased cost this generation.) I'm going to wait a year or two, just like I did for my ps2.
I agree, the X360 looks sleek as hell. There won't be a problem with fitting that anywhere. The graphics are nice and crisp as well (CoD looks beautiful, that's the best smoke I have ever seen period) but I want to see what the next wave of games are going to be like.
