I preordered my Xbox 360 and Kameo!

Yeah, I preordered my Xbox 360 advanced version yesterday, as well as Kameo. £20.00 deposit for the 360, and free to preorder the game.

I'm going to collect it on/around the 16th of December. The first allocation for the 2nd is already sold out, rofl xP

Anyways, who else has preordered one/is getting one. And what games you getting? I was going to get Saints Row but they don't know when it's released. But if it's released before 16th December I can just say I don't want Kameo and get Saints Row instead :D

Don't be shocked when you find out, how little games are being released, it'll take around a year for decent game comapanys to use the features of the 360.

Looks good. I would probably get one but i have pre ordered the psp

But when the ps3 comes out it will own 360's, Microsoft chose a bad time to release the xbox 360

Why did they? The PS3 is twice as powerful, but that has stopped people making games for it, as they can't make the games powerful enough.

So it wont "own" the 360, it will just outsell due to all the Sony fanboys.

Honestly, people like you make me laugh, very hard.

THE PS3 NOR THE XBOX 360 HAS BEEN RELEASED YET. All we know are the specs, none of us have actually played one yet. Please, shut up and stop saying PS3 will own when you've played neither. Fgs :l

And yes, two types. I'm getting the mroe advanced one, why would you of waited? And yes, the games will take a long time to make. But we've stil got Xbox games and the 15 games that are supposed to come out with the release, haven't we?

The only difference is one comes with a 20mb hard-drive and one doesn't (ie. one you'll need a memory card for, and the other you won't - as well as being able to put custom music onto it and such). There'll be absolutely no difference between the two in terms of graphics, speed and gameplay. You can preorder whichever one you like :)

PS3 won't 'own' the 360. People want the flashy graphics and they want them now. The 360 is going to be the only console that offers that for almost a year, and while the PS3 is likely to be £350+ to buy when it first comes out, the 360 is much cheaper, and in a years time will probably be around £150.

The console war is far from over.

Don't you mean GB not MB.

The TRUTH is, sony will always have better games, maybe not last round it was as good due not many online games, but i believe sony will breakthrough ONCE again.

My opinion is PS3 would of pwned 360 before it's even released.

Yes, the Xbox Core, the only difference is that it has wires. Instead of the wireless technology the Xbox 360 has, the Xbox Core has wires and is a bit more cheaper :)

Instead, gamers will have to purchase the £280 Xbox 360 Premium Edition - which is packaged with a hard drive - if they wish to use to the next-gen machine to play current-gen Xbox titles. Alternatively, it's possible to buy a stand-alone hard drive for an additional £70.

Personally PSP beats them both, what people don't know is you can HACK it so much it's pretty much a laptop.

Mine is so Modded up it's got 10 emulators, Windows, word processing, spreadsheets, squares loads of other applications.

What people don't relise is when you buy a console you can DO SOOOO MUCH more with it then they first anticipated.

What i'm trying to express is, you got to try all these stuff.

ME PERSONALLY PSP over 360 due to you can do SOOO much more to it as of now.

True, you personally think that the PSP is better. I don't have one so I don't know, but the PSP is a handheld, Xbox 360 is next gen consoles.

Oh and both the versions of the 360 play Xbox games, well, the good Xbox games.

Neither of the Xbox 360s have wires. Both are exactly the same, one with a harddrive, one without.

And the only 2 backwards compatable games so far are Halo and Halo 2. It's difficult due to the 360 using a completely different graphics chip to the original, and thus Xbox games must be emulated on the 360 to be played.

Actually, the Xbox 360 has wireless controls, you get a universal remote, a had drive, Core system has none of that, but you can buy it, but it'll cost an extra £100.
27-10-2005, 10:50 AM
Bear-Max

But in essence there's no real difference between the consoles. They're both exactly the same, save for the "extras".

Some people are under the impression that the two have differences other than what they come with.
27-10-2005, 05:12 PM

The Xbox 360 has wireless technology (infrared or bluetooth). The Xbox Core has wires, and the others specs that have been raised.
27-10-2005, 05:33 PM
Bear-Max

They're both called the Xbox 360, one is named the Core System and the other the Premium Edition. They both have the same wireless technology, same graphics, same insides, but one comes with a wireless controller as standard, and one with a wired controller as standard.

http://features.teamxbox.com/xbox/12...x-360-FAQs/p1/

Go down to question 8. The only difference that isn't available on the Core System is the chrome details (on the disk tray and such).
27-10-2005, 05:48 PM

Mmk...I just gonna go ahead and buy the premium model, if you buy the Xbox 360 Core, the full upgrades are going to cost more than the actual Xbox 360 premium.
27-10-2005, 05:57 PM
Bear-Max

Yeah, it's definately worth getting the Premium one, you save quite a bit.

I just don't know whether I can be bothered to get one straight away. When the Revolution and PS3 come out, I might end up regretting my purchase, and by that time, the 360 is likely to be a lot cheaper than it is now.

I just don't know... :(

True^

Lol, I'm also thinking this too, in fact, I think alot of people are. The fact that the PS3 is set for release in April, I think its well worth waiting for.

To purchase a £279.99 concole straight away seems a little too much for my liking.
Look at the PSP, they were expecting a total sell out for the first 2 weeks and when it was released, thousands were purchasing them who never pre-oredered. Also, at this moment, there are all kinds of deals going for the PSP, I think after a couple of weeks there were a few deals going for it saving us £'s.
After christmas, maybe even before christmas, I'm sure there will be a good few deals going for the Xbox 360, I may aswell hang on till then or maybe even after :s

Omg, for £215 next month you can get a PSP with 1GB memory. I wish I'd waited :(

The only problem with waiting for the PS3 is, I've heard it's going to be £400+.

Bleh.

Thats mad!
I don't think I will be paying £400+ for a poxy computor, thats mad. But then again, theres us talking about that price when the price of the Xbox is pretty dear. Anywho, we'll have to see whats going to happen with all the prices and releases etc...

You've seen, but have you played? Wait till they're both released before you judge, it's like judging a baby's personality before it's born. Even if you do have hints and have seen it on x-ray.
