Yes, Xbox has Media Center which should slaughter the Sony franchise...in america and europe. I'm not too sure about it [still] being a big hit (Xbox) in Japan.Quote:
360 can do more than ps3 imo longterm :p
Also I still don't see the point in getting one; computers pwn the Xbox left and right, as well as very other direction. I mean c'mon: Xbox: yeah right you can upgrade it, and who cares about the games on it? 3/4 of them are either already on the PC,or will become an even better port.
A great majority of games published for consoles never have a PC port. Those who do, are usually made for PC, and ported over to console. (Half-life, Half-life 2 for short mention.)Quote:

Even though I have a Media Center PC, and adequate video output to/input from television, I think it's just better for consoles to be connected to TV, as an extension of that. I can barely read font in Windows on an S-video output, and it's kinda clumsy to use a mouse and keyboard sitting on my couch, and talk on AIM/Y!M/etc. and then turn around and play counter-strike. A gimmick yes, but the usual, no.
My xbox sees most of her action out at LAN parties, where we usually play halo/2, eat pizza and scream profanities at each other all night. Yes, we do LAN more often with PC's, but it's oddly easier to transport my 20" TV and xbox to friends houses than it is my computer, with the box, 17" monitor and all the peripherals I need. (Mouse, Keyboard, headset, table, etc.)
We're at a point in technology where, home computers abilities far surpass consoles, but consoles still have a niche, in that they are dedicated (usually) to gaming and don't have to act as a general vehicle for entertainment. That's how they can get away with lower specs than a normal PC, it's a gimp, and therefore can devote more processing power to the games.
I don't see any changes, and I forsee that consoles will reach into at least an 8th generation. It's just who makes it there is cloudy.
Also, everyone should check out the second page of that article, entitled "10 reasons why the Xbox 360 will succeed where the Dreamcast failed."
There's a reason people usually buy consoles...to play only games...and maybe watch movies.....Quote:

But just the media center capabilities is like 50% of the system... Its like everything you would need for entertainment except for a tv (pretty sure you can use it as a web browser too, and many hacks will come out for it)
PS3 is purely gaming and dvd... period... So it doesnt reach xbox's heights when speaking of overal entertainment.
For example, you have BF2 online for PS3 AND xbox 360.. lets compare...
On ps3: Probly a poor in-game friends list, not much content, great gfx.. thats about it..
On 360: advanced friends list with lots of content, very good gfx(not great), portal to download new maps, vehicles, patches and mods, you can also pm or sms (yes!! sms right from the xbox for free!!) your friends to jump in for a tournament or something, and so much more...
Yes, maybe ps3 has better gfx, but xbox just has so much more... And its going to be much cheaper than the ps3:
PS3 games will be about $80 USD because they are in Blu-Ray format (50GB very fast discs), and the console will also be extremely expensive at first ($600+ USD)

LOL I love how people say xbox 360 is better then ps3 cuz xbox live and patches and shit. If the game is complete WHY THE FUCK DO YOU NEED PATCHES. Why charge people just to play a sinple fucking game online thats onley 1/4 players. If its not mmo why the fuck pay to go online. Look at how sony has done with there online so far. 99% of the games are completely free to play online where the other 1% is like final fantasy 11 you dont pay just to be able to be online and soney dident say hey broad band onley bitches they realized some of us are unable to get broad band where we live. Microsoft used the xbox to target the ritch bitches and say hey look were better then sony see were broad band onley and we dont charge you that much I see it as bull shit honisty. Why pay just to connect online with the xbox when your paying for your isp also. If you want patches or mods GET A PC. Mods for games dont belong on a consol It completely fucks the persepective of what a consol is. A GAMEING consol shouldent have all this shit its called gameing for one reason games. Microsoft released xbox 360 before they got all the bugs out and it gets like a oven and cooks anything behind the fan. Ps3 dident rush there shit to market just to make a quick buck there trying to find as many bugs as they possibly can so the system is a whole lot more stable when the people buy it. The movies on a gameing consol isent bad cuz not every one can get a dvd player so I see no problem but jesus why the fuck would you wanna listen to music and shit on your consol when you have a fucking radio. True some dont got a radio but there cheap they sound a whole whole lot better and if you say well we cant download music with it you cant really dl music with xbox eather cuz jesus 20 gig hd I got like 40 gig on my computer of music. I just burn it to a disc and pop it into my radio no big woop there. (look im The ranting person lol) Microsoft is goig to flop the xbox 360 massivly if you ask me there fucking them selves in the ass by doing this marketing shit. lol I got to see a xbox 360 actually catch on fire for being on for more then 12 days I laughed my ass off when he was like wtf. Oh It was a store desplay model just so you know it was on 24 7
Fuk that man XBOX 360 is still a good console and its comming out with games that will blow you away such ass 99 nights and with more features such as Online Web caming ! sure sure u may think " oh PS3 is going to way more sick " but its doesnt have half the features 360 has and chances are there are alot more Ps3 fans out there becuase Ps2 came out b 4 XBOX so alot more ppl stayin with PlayStation so Xbox 360 mIght get its ass kicked in Money with Ps3 but it will kicks ps3's ass even harder with games and online Gaming you can also Buy game sonline from your XBOX with its new oline Market and with upgrades to XBOX live ( Silver,Gold ) u get more acces to different features that they havent said about yet !
so u may say " oh XBOX 360 is a Rip and it copies everyone " well why dont u try it out
and also
when i said money making Just wait till halo 3 comes out...
EDIT: XBOX 360 IS COMING OUT WITH MMORPGS LIKE FF11 AND 99 NIGHTS IN SPRING I BELIEVE OR EALIER AND TRUE FANTSY ONLINEIS ALSO COMING OUT ON 360 (MMORPG) AND ANOTHER YOU CAN CHANGE THE HARD DRIVE TO A BIGGER SIZE BUT I SUGGEST U DO RESEARCH ON IT BEFORE ATEMPPTING
RsX u go man XBOX 360 is better then ps3 and has a more ... more...Normal Controller ? and HALO 2 can kick any Games and.....Ps3 SUKS !!
since you guys are talking about ps3 and xbox 360, i say both consoles are good. However my vote would goto ps3. Xbox 360 doesnt seem much of an improvement that would blow my mind away. Ive seen some of the xbox 360 games (previews) and it didnt look fun at all. Looks like the same old crap with just new graphics lol. Xbox was a dissapointment to me however. The games lacked good graphics and got dull after a while. When i played on the ps2, God was that fun.........for some reason. Anyways, these are just my opinions, dont crictizise them cause im not crictizing anybody else.
The only good game on xbox was halo, but that game got dull after 4 hours lol...........:thumbup:
hm... y would u want to pay for playonline AND also pay to connect to the net with ur xbox 360(to get those EXTRA features), buy it for pc or get it for ps2 where u just gota pay for one internet bill and the playonline fee unstead of 2 net bills (assuming ur gona get the gold membership) and the playonline fee.Quote:
EDIT: XBOX 360 IS COMING OUT WITH MMORPGS LIKE FF11
it's true the features on the 360 are great but then again y would u want to have a media studio or w/e on ur xbox a pc does a great job of doing that now
also for the 360 most of the online games will be FPS running around shooting peoples heads off just like the xbox once uve played on damn game the rest are the same except for mb the maps and different guns and w/e they want to throw in. also if u really want to play an online game it's better to just get a pc ull probly pay less money connection to the net with a pc then with an xbox and guess what ull get every feature avaiable for that game without having to go out and buy a gold members bull shit.
the only reason y i HATED the org xbox was the fact the almost every single game i herd about was either a FPS, sports game, or a fighting game. which don't get me wrong are great for all of 2 days. but if u want something that will keep u interested for weeks sony will not let u down
as for right now if the xbox 360 (lets also say halo 3 and those other games u fools are waiting for are out) and the ps2 (yes ps2) were the same price i would go out and buy a ps2 with out even thinking about the xbox 360 capabilities and so called EXTRA features.
those feathers mean nothing if mb u don't own a computer then yes buy all means go out and buy a 360 it has everything a pc has and it's cheaper. but if u do have a pc which is 99% of us in north america then xbox is a waste of ur money bc it does the exact same thing as a pc. as for ps3 or even ps2 the games are well worth it they have games for everyone, and at least they will keep u busy for more then 3 days.
[EDIT] btw if the only choices i had where the Nintendo REV console and the microsoft xbox 360 console i would go out and buy my self the REV has a way better controller
