i dont get it...is this thing really that great?
Yes and No?
So far, I don't feel it's graphics/power seems a world apart from the previous machine. That's usually a problem with developers, as they begin to learn how to utilize every performance aspect of the machine, the games will get better...
My friend bought the $750 bundle (Goodness that's a lot of money), and of the four games played, the football game looked the best. The racing game (GSR3) is definitely sub-par to GT4, and the graphics themselves, again, is not a world apart.
It is cool how the controller ports are USB, meaning you can hook up and download photo's, video's, and music into your Xbox's HD, and use the music in the background of certain games (You could do that part with the old Xbox too).
The controller's feel fine, the system is somewhat ugly (looks like an air purification machine when standing up..*shrug*), but a system is nothing without the right games that have awesome gameplay.
I'm personally waiting for PS3, to fulfill the future installments of my 3 favorite series: Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, and Gran Turismo.

****, just ended at 9100, a guy witht he name, xbox360licks ***** won.
XBox360 licks *****, hahahaha...and the guy has a 0 rating. There's no way this was for real. I'd be pissed if I was the seller.
I'll definitely wait until I can just pick one up off the shelf...unless my friend, who was gonna buy a few and try to sell them for mad $$ will give me one for retail price. That would be sweet!

This **** always happens when a new system comes out, but nothing like this. I think when PS3 comes out, I am going to try and reserve three of them, pay for em all, and then sell 2 of them.
You know damn well the PS3 is going to kick ***. Look at how long it is taking to put it out, Sony is being smart and taking there time on it.
Plus the fact the Xbox does not sell well in Japan AND Europe.

I think Revolution will do good also. But Nintendo I think will never go away. Been around for 20+ years. Have made TONS of video game icons. Mario, Ninja Gaiden, Metal Gear, Metroid, Final Fantasy, etc.
