Mind telling me exactly what's in that clip, dont feel like installing the plugin.

**El Matt** · 11-29-2005, 12:44 AM

LOL.

We must be safe as Americans! Because making little fake guns with our hands are DEADLY!

**Aemaeth** · 11-29-2005, 03:02 AM

I think a group of emo's took over the ads for the 360.

So what’s the good bad with the new x-box? I’m glad it doesn’t come out until Jan next year here in aus... All you Americans are the guinea pigs to see if its worth buying or not

**TroGdoR** · 11-29-2005, 06:51 AM

Damn, we are guinea pigs for sure. But the reasons not to buy it are simple. Even more so than watching a clip about it.
1. It costs $400, and this summer it'll be at least $50 less.
2. It is very glitchy. Hopefully waiting a little bit longer will lead to them releasing newer, better, less glitchy models.
3. The top titles for the system aren't being released for a while. (Halo 3 doesn't come out until the same time as the PS3 enters the market)

PD: Zero is a godly game. The 360 is having a lot of problems/bugs though. For example, if you play Halo 2, you occasionally see the last map you played as like a ghost, its a picture that is over the entire screen but its see through, so it only like distracts you, or disorients you. So far thats all I've heard.

All i kinda hoping is the price for Xbox and in general current-gen systems will go down so maybe I can buy one of them to go with my pretty little gamecube, which is hopefully waiting to play prince of persia:the two thrones and later on twilight princess (not to mention baten kaitos which i'm hopefully getting this holiday finally)

great vid btw - i not also enjoyed the finger pistols but also the hand shotguns and the invisible grenade

**Fuggle** · 11-30-2005, 03:40 AM

I liked the delayed reaction on phone dude.

Basically, one of the main problems is freezing. Also, some have been utterly destroying game disks. I'd stay away from 360 for a while.

**[/sarcasm]** · 11-30-2005, 05:08 AM

I've heard things about how hot it runs, like a small percentage of them will freeze up after a few minutes, even... But I'm kinda glad I didn't get mine on launch day, hopefully they'll have the problem fixed by the time I get it.

But is it just me, or would being in that commercial be like... fvcking awesome?

**Grave** · 11-30-2005, 04:20 PM

^^ just you, but seriously it will be fun, my friends and i had something similar but with paintball runs.

**Silver Ice** · 12-02-2005, 09:32 AM

lol that commercial was fricken awesome.. i too liked the guy on the phone... oh and the guy on a rope that fell from the high spot in the building...

**Fuggle** · 12-02-2005, 04:44 PM

Wow Silver isn't dead.
