XBox 360 - Don't Waste Your Money
The CONS
The core system selling @ $300 but the real system is selling @ $400. Its the old Bill Gates upgrade trick already and I'm tired of it.
The core system comes with wired controllers while the real system comes with wireless controllers and headsets... but not sure what technology they are using for that.
The core system does not come with a hard drive and the hard drive that comes with the real system is only 20GB which is way too small for it to also house your video and music on it as well. Its like the smallest Tivo... just not big enough. They couldn't spend an extra $50 and get you a 120GB? At least make it upgradable?
If you are planning on loading your music into this system... tough. Microsoft made it only for their own proprietary music format. So sorry, iPod.... um.... you cannot connect... you being the most used and most cross platform music machine to date. XBox users will need to buy another $300 gadget just to load the music?
The Ethernet connection does NOT support Wi-Fi??? Wha???
NOT BACKWARDS COMPATABLE TO THE ORIGINAL XBOX GAMES??? WHA???
LAME ALERT! LAME ALERT!! LAME ALERT!!!
Looks like this gaming multimedia player was put out too early and too thoughtless of what people expect today. I am patiently waiting on Sony.
The PROS
The games... all 16 titles.... (wha???).... do look amazing.
If you have not clicked on the "Bitchin' Pods" links yet.... click on that G4: Cinematch right now. XBox 360 previews in iTunes.... hilarious!!!
Call to Duty 2 is harsh and sadistic on how realistic it all has become. The first person shooter has you gnashing your teeth and growling as you gun down the aweful Nazi's that have the most creepy AI I have ever seen to this day. Graphics with actual focal length instead of the goofy distant fog they have used for the last 10 years.
Condemed. Though not as good because you can finish it within the day you have bought it... its the bloodiest horror game I have ever seen in the United States. Go beat felons with hammers and axes and stuff... in almost complete darkness. Real fleshy damage. Yikes!
Quake 4. They decided to have actual solo levels with this one AND online theatres. Is this Raven Software's answer to Halo? It certainly looks like it.
Thats all I got for the PROS.... then again, I can be patient and buy the Playstation 3... with Wi-Fi and bigger hard drive.... and not embattled with Apple.... get all those same games I listed above!!!.....bluetooth technology wireless controllers that come with EVERY system....AND get all those same games listed above on a more superior platform.
Sorry Microsoft, you may have the moron and kiddie domographic but you still have not given any of the hardcore gamer market anything to grasp on to. Plus you have NO clout in Japan, therefore your titles will continue to suck and be censored by our fanatical religious government.
