I don't mean to offen anyone but it has been proven to be a peace of garbage as of late. Ive been seeing reports that xbox 360 units are giveing errors all the time and blue screens, as well the units are over heating if they are set on the floor. not what i would call a reliable gameing machine. We could see microsoft haveing to call abck all 360s and rereleaseing them in a bigger body with a better cooling system.
now i have heard from people who have managed to not get these problems that the graphics are good but there no masive increase from the xbox. infact a major complaint is that the 360 can only play about 200 of the original xbox games. |

Sounds like microsoft was putting too much into marketing and not enough developing.
From what I hear, Xbox360 is inferior to PS3 in both hardware and software department. Xbox360 just might suffer the fate of Dreamcast, to be overtaken by later released PS3 and Revolution. _________________ [IMG:258:200]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/ypark/sigs/3fsn.png[/img] |

| Nopes. Dreamcast was a console from a video game-only company SEGA, like Nintendo. Microsoft on the other hand have a lot of money from another source like softwares and patents. Therefore, they can throw all the money they want to keep Xbox360 alive while SEGA didn't have the same fate. Even though Microsoft is losing money, about $126 for every unit they sold, they get $10 for every game they sold. |

Eh, I still feel it's too expensive to even buy right now. Frankly, I just got an X-Box and it's fine, no need to release the new system so early. _________________ They didn't drink enough milk when they were alive. I drink three glasses a day.

I'm with you on that. I'm greatly impressed by Microsoft newest console. From a UI standpoint, they are far ahead their competition. They also have a very strong online offer which expands every year or so.
From the hardware standpoint, it's a very good machine at "everything". It's really a good machine at everything. I won't compare it at PS3 since we are missing crucial informations and they too have had some crazy rumors (dev kit melting, etc.)
About the game, they only miss a "Halo" type of game. Because for the overall, they have an awsome launch line-up. Think of the original Xbox, Microsoft had launch games such as Azurik (Ugggh). I think they are far more covered and that their strong genres for the Xbox are again present for the 360.
A great 8.5/10 for this launch Microsoft. I've read really positive thing from the tech support you are offering. Your major problems I think are lack of a truly great game and the lack of supplies. |

well I'm not afraid if it happens to xbox360 since I've heard that the father of Final Fantasy (Hironobu sakaguchi) are joining microsoft... so I'll be expecting great game will be release in xbob360 especially in rpg games... and I guess many people will buy xbox360 just to play his game

indeed; i'm looking forward to both blue dragon and mistwalker...though ninety-nights is another eye-catcher, which i'm hoping it'll do well |

Unfortunatly, you are wrong. Hironobu Sakaguchi, left Square Enix quite a few years ago. He is the creator of Final Fantasy, but not of all FF games. He recently created a new company called Mistwalker.
Blue Dragon is a game from Hironobu Sakaguchi with character design by Akira Toriyama. That is quite an interresting team. |

Not only interesting, it's a "tried and true" dream team.
Hironobu Sakaguchi and Akira Toriyama teamed up when they made the legendary game "Chrono Trigger". _________________ [IMG:258:200]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/ypark/sigs/3fsn.png[/img] |
