I already bought it. I knew that the 360 was the only one that was going to have Halo 3 so I had to get it. But, there are a lot of other great games that I want to get too.

Sighness

Indubidubly. Banana.

Nope. However I recently checked out the Sonic game coming out for the 360 and PS3 and now I'm beginning to sway over to the 360 side =/ If only the Wii had a good Sonic game -_-;

how much do you think the 360 will cost when halo 3 comes out?? i'm hoping it's relatively cheaper so i don't break the bank.

I voted "I AM", but I'm buying a 360 for ChromeHounds, Lost Planet, GoW, Fable 2, Mass Effect, and Resident Evil 5 along with Halo 3.

PS. Oh, and I'm definitely getting a Wii before a PS3. Mainly becasuse the PS3 comes in two different flavors (sucky, non-upgradeable expensive $500 and awesome, but obscenely expensive $600), but the Wii has RedSteel and Twilight Princess, and it's confirmed cost is going to be $250 or LESS.

Omg, do you realize what you just said? Without Nintendo, Halo probably wouldn't be the way it is. The N64 had the best old school FPS like Goldeneye and Perfect Dark that influenced Halo and other recent games.

On console, things were tougher. It was hard to recreate "mouselook" ( the ability to use a mouse's smooth analog movements to look around and target bad guys) with a D-pad, and so it wasn't until the Nintendo 64, with it's analog stick came along, that rare was able to reinvent the genre with Goldeneye, the first big console FPS. Some Goldeneye fans claim, to this day, that the game has never been bettered - and Goldeneye also threw in a brilliantly addictive multiplayer mode, complete with bots. Quite an achievement on a single cartridge.


The first FPS's on console that use analog stick were on a Nintendo console.

I bought my Xbox just for Halo and Halo 2 and there still the only games I own for it and I've had a Xbox for 7 months now and I haven't gotten bored yet. And a few days ago I bought a 360 and I love it. I'm going to play Halo 2 until Halo 3 comes out I mean after all Halo 3 is the only reason I bought a 360.

Yet nintendo was to stupid to put in dual analog on there gamecube when all other consols did. They had some great games for N64 but gamecube bombed. Wii looks interesting though...

I bought an X-Box just for Halo 2 and then got into some of the other X-Box games. It's kind of nice because Nintendo doesn't have a lot of games that were for the PS2 and X-Box. But I'm also a true Nintendo fan, just love Halo.

I don't know much about the 360, but I hope is has retro-compatability so that i can play Halo and Halo 2 on it, cuz i'll probly have to exchange my regular box to afford a 360.

Yes, i'm saving for a 360, but not just for halo 3. If someone is willing to pay $460 for one videogame, their out of their minds. My money lies with which ever console is worth it(game wise, graphics wise, and memory wise). And currently, for $400, which is cheaper then the PS3 will be by $100/$200, I can get a good system that will have some good games on it(Call of Duty 2, G.R.A.W, and Halo 3) not to mention any upcoming games Bungie makes, which I know will be good.

And I'm pretty sure Microsoft will keep the same price for a while after Halo 3 comes out, because of Halo 3. They know people will buy 360's to play it, so they will try to get as much cash out of it as they can, but who knows, thats just an opinion.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

I still have my XBOX 360.

Already got one awhile back, but definitly getting a wii.

  • 07.15.2006 9:38 AM PDT

I like me.

Me, totally. I don't own Halo 2 or an xbox, and I want to wait until the 360 gets a price cut, so I might get a used Xbox soon, just to play Halo 2, and KOTOR 1 and 2.
