Consoles are practically useless to me.

They had a 360 running in EA Games today. The graphics looked ok, but still a bit shaky and the controls sucked for Medal of Honor 2.

Maybe in a couple of years, when my son turns 6, I'll pick one up for a $150.00...

Until then, it's PC all the way.

That is the only good reason you camp out at BB to be the first in line... Easiest 400 or whatever bucks you ever made

Actually. I preordered it back in June at Game Crazy. They are only getting 6 of them, and I was #3. I had every intention of keeping it until this shortage talk started. Then debated whether or not to ebay it. Now Im glad I did. I can wait for the next shipment, its those xbox freaks that cant.

Sure beats standing in line unless you live in Hawaii or some place warm

i was encoding video on one today.. it's massive. It's maybe 2/3 as thick as the xbox brick, but it's nearly as long as just as wide

If you don't have a high def television then don't even bother.

Post by **MKJ** » Tue Nov 22, 2005 1:40 pm

my beamer supports quite a few diff resolutions.. theoratically it should display my xbox1 in higher res but for some reason it wont.
might have something to do with the scart/comp converter or summat?

I saw a couple of guys camping outside of a Best Buy in a tent on SATURDAY evening. If they wanted it that badly, why didn't they just preorder it?

It's okay to be a nerd, but a dumbass nerd? That's just sad.

FUCK!

Man I should have seriously pre ordered one, then sold it on eBay, how the fuck did I not think of that?

I had enought money for 2!!

Post by **Turbine** » Tue Nov 22, 2005 4:48 pm

I will be saving up for several Playstation 3's

I am thinking 3 or 4, depending on price, job and school.

Swung by Sears this morning about 15 minutes before they opened because I saw only 1 person waiting. The guy had told me they would have 6, so I decided to get in line. Then the electronics manager comes out and says they didnt' get any yet...they use a different shipping and they have no idea what time they will come in. I cannot fucking believe people are dropping 2 grand on ebay.

But I think I will still say - fuck you micro$oft.

And I was asking around, it sounds like the second shipments are all pre-ordered as well.
