Question that I'm too lazy to go investigate when I have all this tribal knowledge to pull from  I'm in the market for a 360 (don't ask me why not PS3 or a Wii). I didn't realize there were so many skews of the damn thing to choose from. What's the minimum box I need to just play games in 1080i, no internet, no tons of gameplay to save, no XboxLive, etc. From what I've seen I'd be best off getting the cheapest one I can find with the 20GB HDD in there. What do I Know. Any help would be appreciated. Groove |

Minimum is the 360 Premium. 20GB HD wireless controllers all that jaz. Just make sure you get it WITH the HD, as its way nicer then having to buy thoe absolutly outrageously priced Mem Cards. Just whatever you do buy the extended warranty as i GUARANTEE it will die on you. Mine died less then 7 months after i got it.

Let's do some math.......ps3+1920 capable TV+(no halo3)= one pissed off kid and a wife saying WTF is wrong with you?
Path of LEAST resistance tends to get one laid more often. Yes it makes you a whore, but a satisfied whore.....

actually, i got my box shortly after their release and it still works fine. you people just don't know how to take care of a system. 360 is way better than the damn ps3 in alot of ways. so what if ps3 has blueray? everyone's movie collection consists of dvds anyway. plus you can do so much shit with the xbox live marketplace its crazy. buy movies, game demos, games, tv shows, all that crap and dl to your harddrive. plus when you buy something and delete if off your harddrive, you don't have to buy it again, you just redownload it free of charge. and the movies you buy on there only cost like 3-4 dollars. cheaper than blockbuster plus you don't have to drive out there to get it nor worry about late fees. all in all, 360 owns ps3.

Munky i friggen BABIED my 360, i am so sick of hearing people with this BS about people not taing care of thier system. Sure there may be some great games for it, but the system is a Piece of Shit. The thing is just terribly made. Don't worry yours will die i am not worried about it. The failure rate is so high Gamestop/EB STOPPED giving out extended warranties for the system as they were LOOSING money. Fuck around, i know how to take care of my shit MS just can't make a decent System. |

Don't forget its faster and the graphics are better than a 360 Lmao hate to burst your bubble 360 has built in wireless FF and racing/war games are all the same. As for the taking care part if you keep the cache cleared (hold a from cold boot) you games will continually run smooth for a long time. And PS3 vs. Xbox360 hmmmm 300.00+ for xbox vs 600.00+for PS3 at release only good thing i can say is PS3 actually can compete with XBox360 in the graphics for once they just damn near went broke doing it. Sorry But PS3 will always be playing 2nd fiddle to Xbox(backed up by the largest technology conglomerate in the world) but of course this is just my opinion and as we all know opinions are like a$$holes everyone has one and they all stink. |

Let's do some math.......ps3+1920 capable TV+(no halo3)= one pissed off kid and a wife saying WTF is wrong with you? Does it really matter what is at the beginning of this equation ? It seems that not matter what it always = one pissed off kid and a wife saying WTF is wrong with you? |

Hey Nightshade, the 360 does NOT come standard with wireless internet. Sorry but MS are hoping you shell out the absolutly absurd money for the wireless adapter. Also the PS3 si now 20$ more then the 360 Elite and you get Wireless and a Blu Ray player included, if you wanted any high def movie watching for your 360 you would have to buy a HD-DVD Drive extra 199$ and if you want wireless you would have to buy the wireless adapter wich is another 120$ All in all the PS3 is the better buy for the money. |

Just got a 46" LCD (Samsung) and hooked up the PS3 in HDMI. I'm playing Assassin's Creed in 1080p.....WOW! I had to get my face within 12" of the screen before I could just start picking out pixels.
As far as PS3 vs XBox.........Fuck Bill Gates! I've already given him enough $$$. Even if the XBox was/is a superior product.....Fuck Bill Gates!

There do you feel better Mepps Well to be honest with you and in keeping with the festive season, I think it would be more appropriate if I fucked Bill Gates in the ass with a 7' spruce (extra prickly) Christmas tree, complete with ornaments and lights. Side note: Y'know, I really wouldn't hate Gates so much if I actually had bought shares in Microsoft 20 years ago. |
