Topic: I loves me my 360

[Kairon]

Advertisement on console dashboards for the XBox 360 help drive its high attach rate. That and not selling enough new XBox 360s each month, thereby causing a gentrified user base.

[Flames_of_chaos]

Haha, paying for online gaming...

I wish I had something to play on my 360 this summer (laugho, Nude Calibur is quickly looking to be a bargain bin buy)...Next game will be Infinite Undiscovery in September... =(  (Too Human in August has also been demoted to bargain bin buy status for lack of local co-op...)

What about Tales of Vesperia??

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Never coming to amerika.

[Mashiro]

So far my online experience on the 360 has been lag free.

The "Free" online play Nintendo offers fails in comparison as does their friend system. 50 dollars a year to not have to deal with that is something I would gladly pay for.

As for my HDTV everyone is knocking it's one of the best on the market so it's hardly a bad choice =P Things are far more pixelated and blurry than on a standard def TV set for most of the Wii games. Which is sad because these games looked so good on a standard set and now they just look meh.

I dunno what size HD sets you guys have but on a 32" the graphics take a considerable hit even with the best cables for the Wii.

HD is epic fail when it comes to SD.

Amazon, failstop, and gamefly comfirm August 18th - 21st for tales of vesperia.

About the xbox live lag I have experiences healthy doses of lag and plently of drop outs.  Team Fortress 2 was the worst in this regard.

I don't know about you but I always have a sour feeling whenever I paid for xbox live. Considering that in game XMB is rumored to come some time between June - August on the PS3 Microsoft's online won't feel as superior. But I'm sure people are sick of it and it does feel like a waste especially when you feel like you arent playing as much online.

For me Wii games and even PS2 games upscaled via a PS3 look fine on HDTVs but games look "Crappier" because of how HDTVs, 480p or greater resolutions expose jaggy graphics easier.

Oh whoa, didn't realize that it was coming out in August...Then that will be my next game (Oh man, they'll probably release the Wii version at the same time! >=( )

50" rear projection DLP. Don't know what you're talking about Wii degredation on big screen because most games look sharp enough to me specially if they support progressive scan. If a game doesn't support progressive scan I will notice it immediately, even for PS2 games.

I forgot to mention that I sit 4 to 6 feet from the screen most of my playing time.

TOS 2 is coming out in November.   TOV is 59.99  and TOS2 is 39.99(amazon price)

[Athrun Zala]

yes, the Samsung LCDs kick ass =D
so, I have to ask this: are you sure you have your Wii hooked through component, adn have enabled the 480p option on the Wii Settings?


also, I'll probably end up getting a X360, just for RE5 (if it doesn't get a PC port... oh, and for Dead Rising, which probably will never be ported to anything =( )

[Nick DiMola]

360 Suggestions: Viva Pinata, Crackdown and Assassin's Creed.

Kameo and PDZ are good bargain bin pickups priced at $8 at Gamestop and even cheaper other places.

Enjoy the 360 Mashiro, I can't say I play mine as much as my Wii, but there are a nice handful of games that everyone should own.

[Mashiro]

Positive Zala (to my dismay) and yeah I can't wait for RE5 either ::glee:: still a shame it won't be on the Wii.

and I'll have to give those games a try Mr. Jack =)

[KDR_11k]

So to sum it up, Mashiro is the resident MS plant and Flames is the Sony plant?

Not sure if you like RPGS or not but Eternal Sonata is a great RPG with a unique battle stystem

[GoldenPhoenix]

But I'm supposed to be the MS plant.

[DAaaMan64]

I think GP is the original MS plant isn't she?

[EasyCure]

across the board 3rd party plant. you've managed to reach staff status so i'm sure your review of Babyz will weild an 8.5 rating or higher.

Ooh! Ooh! What am I?!?

A Perrin Kaplan plant.

[UltimatePartyBear]

Actually, I figured out who GP is really a plant for a while ago.  The first clue is to realize that, like all so-called females on the Internet, she's really a guy.  So we examine "her" username: GoldenPhoenix.  Based on the first clue, we remove the "ho" part and get GoldenPenix.  We removed a derogatory reference to females and revealed a pun on masculine anatomy.  That is not a coincidence.  Now note the "GoldenP" part.  That stands for Golden Proportion, which in geometry describes a rectangle that can be divided into a square and another such rectangle.  This is the next clue.  Replace "Golden P" with "Square" and you're left with "Squareenix."

Golden Phoenix is a Square-Enix shill.

You know, some societies have entire castes devoted to just this sort of thing.
