Those are amazing. -- Posted by famous 187 at 5:22 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 lol what they did to xbox live? i havent been on live in a while -- Posted by Hggh7 at 5:23 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from look over here at 7:21 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Xbox Live was the pinnacle of online gaming experiences.

Thats the coolest thing they have done EVER!!! Plus, its your own fault for BUYING vista in the first place. -- Posted by Petchy at 5:24 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 There ain't nothing wrong with Vista you whining dog and as far as I'm concerned adding more content to xbox live will only make it better. I don't see what your complaining about, It's not as if you've accomplished anything. -- Posted by look over here at 5:24 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from Hggh7 at 8:23 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from look over here at 7:21 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Xbox Live was the pinnacle of online gaming experiences.

Aside from the new interface (which takes some getting used to, I know), really, what's wrong with it? You can have 8 people chat parties which is cool, and you can install the games to the hard drive, which is even more amazing. So, SUCK IT UP, YO -- Posted by Deeznutz FYC at 5:29 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 I kinda agree, it feels like the fucking wii now. But eh, I'll get used to it eventually. -- Posted by Deeznutz FYC at 5:29 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from neverjeeps at 5:22 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Oh c'mon, the only new things that really matter are the 8 people party chat and downloading games to your hard drive.

Its lame. -- Posted by neverjeeps at 5:31 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from Deeznutz FYC at 7:29 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from neverjeeps at 5:22 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Oh c'mon, the only new things that really matter are the 8 people party chat and downloading games to your hard drive.

Ah, I don't think they put the entire 360 game on it either... at least I don't think... and that is pretty fucking cool. You can download full original xbox games, but not 360 games... at least not yet. I hope they add that feature, it would be bad ass. -- Posted by imakethetest66 at 6:21 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from Ju5tin at 9:16 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from imakethetest66 at 8:14 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from Ju5tin at 9:09 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from imakethetest66 at 8:07 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from Ju5tin at 8:51 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from neverjeeps at 7:31 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from Deeznutz FYC at 7:29 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from neverjeeps at 5:22 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Oh c'mon, the only new things that really matter are the 8 people party chat and downloading games to your hard drive.

So far they have Warhawk, SOCOM confrontation, Burnout Paradise, and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. I can't wait for them to expand it further, though. You'll never have preorder or goto the store again. Oh, and it's cheaper, since it's not on a dsic. -- Posted by 0h h3ll n0 at 11:37 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Its weird and will take some getting used to but I like it.

Oh, and it's cheaper, since it's not on a dsic. I think it'll be a while until consoles are disc-free. It doesn't account for people without an internet connection. Also, let's say your connection isn't the fastest and Sony starts brining out games that actually fill Blu-Ray discs. That's a 50gb download. The game might come out on Friday, you might not be able to play it until a few days later. Then what happens if you hard drive crashes? There goes all your games and data. Especially considering 360 failure rates! It's a good idea in theory, but the hardware will have to be much more reliable. -- Posted by hivemind at 4:17 am on Nov. 22, 2008 Quote: from look over here at 1:24 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Quote: from Hggh7 at 8:23 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from look over here at 7:21 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Xbox Live was the pinnacle of online gaming experiences.

I'm bitching about the new Xbox dashboard.

Those are amazing. yeah, i have to agree with this guy ^. i mean the new interface is just so much easier to understand, the downloading to hd makes load times faster. so it was just altogether a better thing to do. -- Posted by imakethetest66 at 2:58 am on Nov. 23, 2008 Quote: from quietboy at 6:20 am on Nov. 22, 2008 Quote: from imakethetest66 at 2:21 am on Nov. 21, 2008 I'm sure Microsoft will go that route.

Especially considering 360 failure rates! It's a good idea in theory, but the hardware will have to be much more reliable. You wouldn't have to worry about your system crashing on a Playstation 3, because all of your downloads are recorded on the Playstation Store. That means you can delete the game off of your system, then download it later if you want, and without paying for it again. The great thing about the Playstation 3 is that you can buy a laptop hard drive and pop it in your Playstation 3. I might be getting a 500MG hard drive for Christmas for my Playstation 3. They will always have the disc, but the option to download the game off of the Playstation Store will always be there. You'll see more popping around here and there. It's Sony's idea of making things easier and the center of entertainment. -- Posted by imakethetest66 at 3:01 am on Nov. 23, 2008 Also, if you have slow Internet, then you probably shouldn't be playing online in the first place. Ha ha. The last thing I need is some dude lagging up my play time. Thank God most games boot those people. -- Posted by mysticgohan at 3:41 am on Nov. 23, 2008 Having a slow connection has nothing to do with download only being viable. Even the best connections(aside from the freakishly fast stuff, you know 1GB a second) will take forever to download a 20gb or higher game. -- Posted by imakethetest66 at 3:53 am on Nov. 23, 2008 Quote: from mysticgohan at 6:41 am on Nov. 23, 2008 Having a slow connection has nothing to do with download only being viable. Even the best connections(aside from the freakishly fast stuff, you know 1GB a second) will take forever to download a 20gb or higher game. The full game download for Warhawk on the Playstation Network is only 800MB. Do you honestly think it's going to be 50GB? With cable Internet that would not take days to download. -- Posted by mysticgohan at 4:22 am on Nov. 23, 2008 I'm talking next-gen when you'll actually see at least one console maker say "Fuck disks" -- Posted by theAnomie at 11:34 am on Nov. 24, 2008 Quote: from imakethetest66 at 10:58 am on Nov. 23, 2008 You wouldn't have to worry about your system crashing on a Playstation 3... blah blah blah mention the word Playstation four more times... It's Sony's idea of making things easier and the center of entertainment. You can do all that on a 360. Stop trying to sell me a Playstation and think critically for once.

Oh man, shoot for me for giving you the answer. LOL Pages: 1 2  Next
