i hope its better than the 360,witch im very dissapointed with.

TheMART6598d ago

So when did you bought your 360, how much have you played it, do you have Live, which games do you own

last but not least: are you not a Sony Fanboy without a console up till now.

Love to read your answers.
Because the 360 kicks ass. I am curious when someone thinks it's not like that. The reasons why because they can be too diverse to claim it that way

TheMART6598d ago

Anyhow, I hope they don't name it the Xboy. That sounds real g@y, they should bundle it then with the g@ystation...

i bought my 360 in december 2nd. then a month later i got the dreaded red light,so i sent it back to microsoft and got another one.ive bought most of the games that have come out,like pgr3 call of duty2 condemed.then oblivion table tennis,fifa world cup exct.i just dont thing they are what i call next gen.i think i got games for my pc which are a year old which look better.i got xbox live since its been launch.but i never play that anymore.most of my mates bought the 360 at launch,but they sold it on ebay after a couple of months,saying its not that good,and they rather play there pc,s.no im not a fanboy neither.

Aflac6598d ago

there are games coing up with 99.9% lifelike graphics. 360 is perfectly capable of that, the developers just need time to master its power with the right graphics engine

Sphinx6598d ago

If you don't like yours that is fine... I never really liked my PS2... but I loved my N64 and Dreamcast and Super Nintendo, but hated my Genesis... it just depends on the person.

Schmitty076598d ago

I don't want another useless handheld after the PSP letdown. Because if Ms makes one, I won't be able to ignore it

Mortal Kombat 9 Is Still NetherRealm's Best Game 13 Years Later

I agree. 9 was awesome

Shaolin Monks next please

vTuro242h ago

Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.

vTuro242h ago

That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.

The Dishwasher
Vigilante 8

Two non-BC and no-PC-version Arcade titles I downloaded recently. Dishwasher's sequel is on Steam at least.

I've also downloaded Ninety-Nine Nights II (shame the first wasn't available). I still want to download Burnout 3: Takedown before the weekend's up, though that is still the full $9.99 non-discounted price

franwex3h ago

Burnout 3 not available in modern times is a crime to humanity.

I know it’s probably due to the music licensing-though they can simply add other music as Burnout 3’s biggest flaw to me personally-is the music!!!

Xbox gamers warned they've 72 hours before a ton of classic games are gone forever

The Xbox 360 Marketplace is officially shutting down in three days, which means dozens of exclusive, digital-only 360 games will no longer be available to purchase anywhere else once it does.

The Xbox 360 will be almost 20 years old next year, and to celebrate this milestone Microsoft have decided to obliterate all of its online functionality.

Phil Spencer: "Game preservation is critical to us at Team Xbox."

Technically, the games ARE preserved... they are just removing the ability to purchase new games through the 360. They have to keep a full backup of every title (even delisted ones) because they will have to offer the ability to redownload purchased content to users.

I had deleted some games a few years back that had become delisted. I was able to get them back by going through my download history. The games in question were TMNT (classic and re-shelled), afterburner climax and outrun online. Im glad I was able to get those back as they are some of the best on the service.

Lightning776h ago

Well The Ultimate Alliance games have been delisted. I dunno how many old Activision games have been Delisted but MS needs to remake or remaster old Activision games and release them on Xbox and PS. I. Hope that's what they're doing right now.

They can't reserve everything but they 100% can reserve what they got or own.

Fortunately, the X360 was jailbroken a long time ago, so a good part of its library is available for download from 'alternative' sources. Still, it's a bummer to see the store going away.

Dawn of The First Day
-72 Hours Remain-

Also they can keep the store up for life if they wanted.

hiawa235h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Series X for the back compat titles, and OG Xbox and X360 for those not on BC. I pretty much bought all of the digital games I want for the 360 so I am good.

anast4h ago

They are holding games hostage so people spend more money. This is some sleazy stuff.

Reaper22_2h ago

No, not telling you would be sleazy. I have a few more games to buy then I'm good. 360 was and still is a great console. Xbox is the best place to play!

anast2h ago

I'm not sure we are on the same page.
