Circ 0 Posted October 31, 2005 Hello I was just curious if any B.I staff would be buying 360's for personal use? Â You always hear companies having 360 dev kits but you never actually hear them saying ''Yeah i'm going to be buying one''. Â If you are going to be buying one, any of you going to a midnight launch (depending on what shop you have pre-ordered yours at) to get it? Tara Gordy P.S. That was suppose to be complaint in the title Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bordoy 0 Posted October 31, 2005 That would be well good if they could get some pics of their midnight purchase (no not in the red light district ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted October 31, 2005 I'll be getting a 360, probably not at launch though as you generally get ripped off price/title wise, will wait a couple of months. Will most likely be getting a PS3 as well. Link with the Flashpoint Elite forums is fairly tenuous so I'll move this to OT (and rename the thread) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Acecombat 0 Posted November 1, 2005 Ok and when you have 2 consoles placebo how do you intend to play them both? Will you have the time to distribute among them? not to mention PC? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunnder Bunny 0 Posted November 1, 2005 Ehhh....God of War has taught me my console days are over!! Game + button mashing = pain Been playing video games befor the NES ,that and repetitive jobs over the years made me give up consoles/controllers. That and I can't play an FPS on a console to save my life anymore. But the PS3 might still find a place in my home....maybe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EiZei 0 Posted November 1, 2005 Not going to even consider it until price goes below 200e and it's moddable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antichrist 0 Posted November 2, 2005 If they release new version of Forza with XBOX 360 i will consider it. Otherwise probably not, cause I haven't seen anything interesting for that console yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted November 3, 2005 Ok and when you have 2 consoles placebo how do you intend to play them both? Will you have the time to distribute among them? not to mention PC? My girlfriend is also an avid gamer, so we'll split our time between them, as we now split our time between PC and PS2, although she has to spend most of her time on the PC as I'm addicted to PES5 on the PS2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebns72 0 Posted November 4, 2005 Probably get a ps3. I am not really impressed with the xbox360, the screens from the games just look like an expensive pc. However, the ps3 has taken my breath away and truly looks next-gen imo; like nothing anyone has seen before. It also has some new technology for a super-fast processor. I'll probably be getting a ps3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monkey Lib Front 10 Posted November 7, 2005 i'll probally get 360 next september after my 2nd year student loan comes through, main selling point is that all X-Box games are compatible with a 360. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigershark_BAS 0 Posted November 7, 2005 Did anyone read recent stories surrounding the launch that mentioned that MS was intentionally making them "sold out" in stores on release to increase the "exclusiveness" of being a first buyer. In some cases they have contractually made retailers "sell out" their stocks. I'll try and find the link.

EiZei 0 Posted November 7, 2005 Well.. it would make good sense to keep the stock small at the beginning in order to increase hype ("ohmigod, theyre out of stock already, EVERYBODY BUT ME MUST HAVE ONE ALREADY!"), minimize manufacturing costs (they WILL invent cheaper ways to make the damn thing) and minimize any damages caused by malfunctions that are quite common with first-generation products.
