Oh man, I am so tired, you have no idea. Yesterday morning, we got in line at 9:00am, we stayed at walmart until 1:00 am last night. We got our xbox 360's. Immediately afterwords, we went to Best Buy where the line was 40 or so people long for the 9:00am opening this morning (poor bastards are still there in line) It must have been below freezing last night. I put the top down on my convertable and did donuts in the parking lot right in front of them, while their shivering little bodies looks on in disgust as we held up and xbox 360. We got a lot of middle fingers but it was fun.

Then we drove to Circuit city, and comp USA doing the same thing.

The nice thing is, in my line, about 10 people of the 30 brought their DS, and although none of them had Mario Kart, we all played mario kart battle for hours and hours.

Got home, played some perfect dark... was unimpressed by the graphical differences between xbox 360 and xbox... went to bed.

I've heard reports that there are too many core systems and not enough of the premiums, at least not for those who didn't preorder. I'm thinking about going by a best buy and checking it out on my lunch break, but I'm afraid if I do I'll end up buying one heh.

Well Crash Perfect Dark Zero is garbage from what I've seen, and especially in the commercials. I was impressed by the graphics and game play of this one war game, I can't recall the name cuz I was playing it at my local Gamestop. Graphics were good, particle elements amazing, and the blood splatter was top notch.

I wouldn't count PDZ as an ice breaker for Xbox 360 owners. I'm ACTUALLY thinking of getting this....

just got back from bestbuy picking up some DVD's.

3 xbox's left at thier special little table setup. Almost same thing as when ps2 came out.

i'd never wait out in line for something, especially when i could just walk in and get it.

i was VERY tempted to pick one up and sell it on ebay tho... some of the prices are well over $1000, one just ended this morning the Winning bid... $2,550

DarrenMcLeod · 11-22-2005, 12:29 PM

I could probably waltz into town and buy one. Canada doesn't have the same hype as the USA over this system, or so it seems. Not my town, at least.

Buuuuut.... I don't want one. At least, not with the money I'd have to spend for it. I'd rather get a PS2/Regular xbox.

What the hell? Why is there a huge ****ing cinder block in my Xbox360 box? And there's like a wire or something sticking out of it...? The sh*t, I'm suppose to plug this giant bastard into the wall?! ...And it's getting hot? Like ****ing BOILIING hot?! Don't cinder blocks normally stay cool?

BAH, this thing is going back to the office. I must've got some weird ass "Home Construction Bundle". God damn Microsoft.

GameSpot gave it a 9.0, Team Xbox gave it an 8.8, and Talk Xbox gave it a 9.7.

MuGen · 11-22-2005, 04:36 PM

Well I think it's garbage from what i've seen... (meaning) ... from the screenshots/commercials and overall graphical element...

Not necessarily what others may think or even those sites you mentioned.

All I know is there are so much better games out there for Xbox 360... PGR3 also looked sick.

GameMaster · 11-22-2005, 05:00 PM

I think Peter Jackson's King Kong game looks pretty cool.

Crash · 11-22-2005, 05:30 PM

heh, ooops apparrently there is a SDTV/HDTV switch on the CORD that comes with the xbox.... I had it set to SDTV

Now that I have it in HDTV it looks hella good... praise God!!!

Pretty sure you're referring to the Call of Duty 2 demo. I thought the polygon and particle work was really good but man the textures are just aweful. I saw better on the N64, and we all know how blurred the N64's textures were.

Crash · 11-22-2005, 05:57 PM

Here is my line yesterday... we got there really early, and were nice and warm the whole time... poor best buy campers....

the arrow shows my spot in line... where the guy in the hoodie iis playing the DSthe start of the line is above that on the right... we were like 15 or something...

Professor S · 11-22-2005, 06:15 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if PDZ didn't look that much like a next gen title, as it was originally intended to be on the Xbox.

Call of Duty 2 looks incredible, though. Madden looks a million times better also. Finally EA put some effort into the graphical end of their football franchise.

DimHalo · 11-22-2005, 11:32 PM

I tried to check the 360 out today but i was kind of in a hurry and some old guy was playing it. Of course, they didn't have any in stock.
