xbox 360

[vinny]

the misses is thinking of getting me and my littleun one for christmas, and was wondering who has one and what they think of it, i like my pc games and am a bit gutted that call of duty 3 isnt going to be released for the pc.
i dont want to pay the price of the new ps3 when it comes out and have also heard that the blue ray discs will be expensive etc
so your thoughts please on the games avalible and xbox live :thumbright:

We have one here Vin and love it, but the games just dont seem to be coming out en mass, just finished CofD3 yesterday, dont really play live though much,

PS3's look and spec great but the disc's are play in that machine only, you cant trade them in , like you do in Game shops, as the disc's once played in a machine will not play in another PS3, you its like a pay for license just like a PC game which is a bit of a bollox, and the games are going to be about £57 each

call of duty 3 isnt going to be released for the pc.

I was aso thinking of buying a 360 for the very same reason but could not justify it for one game really
Vinny just wait till next year and get one of the new directx 10 graphics cards:D

I'm a big fan of PS2 games, love theplatform games and not so keen on shoot-em-ups which the Xbox excels at. Got a 360, graphics are brilliant but a bit disappointed with games selection - good if you like shoot-em-ups but poor if not

360 is a good machine i like it there is nothing like killing in high definition :D but like Brian said slow bringing out the games

[Trickster]

The blu-ray discs i have seen seem to be about the same price as normal discs

that's chinese whispers and not true, they are not machine dependent

so its not true good, I got that was from a mate who owns a gamers shop here ? he was taken to Japan for the launch

[topaz]

ive got a few playstations here and the games all work on all of them

i also spoke to a mate with a shop and he said he's heard the rumour but its not true
