Xbox 360 HD-DVD Player

[Jwr5]

Does anyone know it it will be compatable with pc's? I think it would be cool idea because Microsoft is trying to make many of the 360 accesories work with pc's.
Vision Camera, controller, ect.

[Digital Limit]

It's too bad it'll cost $200.

[foshizzle]

Considering that the HD-DVD player right now is around $400, thats pretty cheap.

[FATMAN]

i think i'll just wait for a built in HD-DVD drive in the Xbox 360 before I buy one, seriously this sucks donkey balls having to first buy a 500$ system and then spend another 200$ just to get a drive =\

[Digital Limit]

Whoa, the 360 jumped in price?

:rolleyes:

[FATMAN]

meh was talking about those damn offers u get with the extra controller and crap like that

and are they gonna make a built in HD-DVD drive Xbox 360's?

[Digital Limit]

Doubtfully.

[FATMAN]

yeah I checked around, looks like it aint gonna happen.

but seeing u only need it for movies I really dont give a damn

[Digital Limit]

Exactly. And that means I don't have to pay for an HDDVD player, given I couldn't care less about one.

[FATMAN]

I ordered one just to replace WoW, dunno what games are worth buying though :confused:

[Digital Limit]

Buy Ghost Recon now, or just wait until Gears of War is out.

Gears of War Videos (http://leech.thewopples.com/gow/).

The multiplayer looks like so much fun.

[halomizer]

fuck. right after i quit my job all the good games come out. this really sucks i'm looking forward to about 10 games.

Lost Planet

Rent Dead Rising!

I spent quite a bit of time with the 360 over the past two days. Lost Planet is fun, but try the E3 demo first. I hated the whole heat thing, fighting against a clock is something that kills games for me. Also, wtf, no save points mid-mission? I get killed at the boss fight, I start over? Fuck you. Anyway, if I were going to buy a 360 I wouldn't buy any games at first. I'd just buy the console with the hard drive, hook it up to the internet, start my free Live trial and then download all the demos that seemed interesting. Hell, I wouldn't buy ANY games if they didn't have demos. I know it's only $10 extra, but it really feels like a lot when you're used to $50. After playing a ton of demos and up to Case 5 in Dead Rising I've changed my opinion on the console. It's a console that's going to offer a lot in its lifespan, and I think I might have to save up for an HDTV and get a Wii60.

[Digital Limit]

Heh, they come together like transformers?

And why are we talking about Lost Planet? It's release date isn't until 2007.

[Digital Limit]

Ah:

Capcoms press site:

Formats: Mob, X360
Out: Q1 2007
Publisher: Capcom

Should be Jan or Feb.

[Phobo]

see its more expensive in total if you want the hd-dvd playa

real men go PS3

[FATMAN]

I think the lost planet multiplayer demo is out

real men go PS3

I would if I knew about the in store pre order >.<

MASS EFFECT!!!!

[Digital Limit]

see its more expensive in total if you want the hd-dvd playa

real men go PS3

$400 + $200 = $600

So, you're wrong unless you pretend, like so many, that the gimped version still counts as the full version.

And that aside, it's actually only $575 in Canada as its still $199 there and the conversion rate makes Canadians happy.

Of course, I wouldn't compare the combo to the PS3 as I am given choice in the first deal, and the choice is to save $200.

[FATMAN]

though with the 60gb version u get the built in wifi so u dont have to pay another $100 for a wifi adapter

exactly

real men love PS3

[tisl]

No, real men use Ethernet cables.

Hey, if the PS3 supported Bungie and Bioware developed games, and didn't skimp incredibly on controller design, I'd be all over them.

Sadly, they're shit for the FPS genre, and that's my genre.

[FATMAN]

i'll just have to wait for the 2nd gen PS3. oh well

Amen. After owning an xbox for 4 years i just can't imagine playin fps on a console without triggers. But here comes sony trying to make "trigger-like" R2 and L2 buttons. But ign says they blow. The only thing i have from sony is my psp and i think even that is pushing it. My opinion on which console to buy is: if your white, black or european buy a 360. If your asian buy a PS3.

[/rant]

[Digital Limit]

It's more like: if you like first person shooters, buy and Xbox 360. Otherwise, buy a Wii.

[Phobo]

i never played an fps on a console, fps is for pc's damnit

[Digital Limit]

Then buy a Wii.

The PC as a gaming platform is dead to me.
