I seem to remember you trashing people who did that in a thread some months back!

When you pirate PS1/PS2/PS3 games you are hurting the industry by not supporting the best developers on the planet. When you buy X360 games you are actually hurting the industry by supporting garbage.

Nothing on Xbox360 deserves a cent, don' t try to compare playing bootlegs of shit that sucks ass and you' d never buy or play for more than 10 minutes, to classic games that you play from beginning to end and are worth every cent they go for.

would you please go off yourself ... no seriously

Yeah yeah, whatever. You got caught being a hypocrite, don' t try to (poorly) defend yourself with a self-righteous and subjective attitude and statement.

Besides, if you have such ' standards' , you' re still bothering to play the ' shit' games; so I don' t see how any of us can take you seriously

" Ars Technica' s Opposable Thumbs has the scoop on a data transfer cable that will ship with the new Xbox 360 Elite Edition (codenamed Zephyr) that will let you transfer data from your Xbox 360 Premium hard drive to the new one. An insider told Ars Technica:

I work for a large game distributor. MS disclosed this SKU to us a few weeks ago—definitely not a fake story. Price, features, color are all correct. MS has told us that the data will be transferred via some sort of cable that will be included with the unit. The cable will also be included w/ the 120GB drive that will be sold separately (price TBD)."

The plot thickens...

No I didn' t. I said I would consider it, and my reasons were already stated.

With the time you spend stalking me through my old posts and pretending you have me on ignore you could muster up enough money to buy the $10 games you steal.

So you' re telling me pirating 360 games doesn' t harm the industry? There' s opinionated, & then there' s stupid.

It doesn' t.

We don' t need companies buying their way into this industry, next thing you know fucking GM will start making consoles.

In a perfect world 99% of X360 software should be pirated, the console should be labeled unprofitable to any developer and laid to rest, it' s trash and doesn' t deserve any better.

No I didn' t. I said I would consider it, and my reasons were already stated.

Wow, so now you are denying it? Stupid hypocrite

It doesn' t.

Mmmkay, & the 10 million people who' ve already bought a 360 were paid off by Microsoft? Every game company bought their way into the industry. They spend tons of money making a console, & hope to make it up with solid sales. Buying your way into games is what we call gaining exclusives. You pay somebody tons of money to keep their games on your box, it' s part of the game.

Quality or not, competition is a good thing for the industry. It makes sure companies are competing for your dollar.

, next thing you know fucking GM will start making consoles.

GM could turn more profit in games than anybody in the commercial automobile industry at the moment.

Uh, Evil Man you realize that most of the developers that are making games for the PS3 are making games for the 360 right? Infact the only Publishers/Developers that are exclusive to Sony are the ones they bought. Why do you think Sony had so many exclusives with last gen? All the Publishers were in Sony' s pockets. All three platforms pay for exclusive games but Sony has been the most aggressive with that strategy in the past.

What we' re seeing now is a fallout from that, Publishers don' t want to get fucked over so a lot fewer of them will make long term agreements like they did with the PS2. Publishers learned their lesson and they have no choice with rising development costs they can' t afford to have mediocre exclusives anymore.

So other than Nitro, who' s actually considering buying this beast?

Me. I haven' t played a 360 for a few months, and I need one for Mass Effect and Bioshock. Besides that, I really want HDMI since my TV and Audio/Video Reciever use it. I would also like a black one to go with my ps3/tv/speakers etc. White would throw it off, and just wouldn' t look good with the ps3. And I won' t do case mods, xbox' s break enough as it is, I need my warranty intact . 120gb HD is nice too, especially if Live starts offering TV/Movie downloads. I' ve already filled 35gigs on my ps3, and I don' t have much IMO on it.

Yeah I' m getting it as well. I' ve got the Xbox1 on component (I still use the good ol' Xbox for mediacenter, emulators and lots more) & don' t want to use a component switchbox to be able to hook up both the 360 and Xbox1. Therefor HDMI is the way to go for me. My HDTV has got 2 HMDI inputs, so I better start using them.. and since I don' t plan on using a PS3..

I also really like it being a little cooler (temp.) & -hopefully- less noisy

Im definetly up for it, it will look more fitting in my setup, and the extra functionality is kewl..

It' s just a shame some people on here are still so narrow minded about things in general (actually, no scrap that, down right stupid). Currently the PS3 is most expensive and the most complicated to develop for - if only pirated games were in circulation not only would the honest, hardwarking developers and their families be put in jepoardy, but the software houses wouldnt have the revenue to support their investment of time and effort into the tools and development for the PS3 titles that multiplatform support brings in through milestone and royalty payments.

I' ll probably end up getting it if it exists, but not before I buy a PS3.

I' m waiting for a good deal. Would prolly get it at my favourite supplier. Only trouble is whether to get a Wii first, or a 360...

Edit: Ah, and the problem with where my broadband cable is located. I may need to get the wireless router for it, but I' m afraid of its lack of stability.

The first part is easy. In the next year, the Wii will probably have 3 or 4 good games in total(mario, zelda etc). In the next year, the 360 will have have plenty (mass effect, Bioshock, Halo 3, Forza 2 etc) Same goes for the PS3 with Heavenly Sword, LittleBigPlanet!, Motorstorm, Lair, GT5, Warhawk etc. Add in the shared games like: GRAW2, VF5, Dirt, Assasins Creed, Elder Scrolls: Shivering Isles, GTA 5 and plenty more.

Second part is understandable. So far though, I have no problems with wireless on my ps3, so I' m optimistic about the Xbox' s wireless adapter. It does piss me off that I have to pay extra for it though. After I buy the stuff I need on top of the big pimpin black Xbox, the ps3 will have only cost me about $70 more, and for that I get BluRay.


I' m pretty sure MS will include a HDMI cable with the Xbox, after the crazy amount of people that got angry over having to buy on for ps3, I would think they would be obliged to offering it with theirs.

They' d better. I can' t see them not doing it honestly. Although if they don' t, I' ll be the first one to flame them out for it.

I hope they put wireless in the console. Every other system manages to have built in wireless.

You mean Wi-Fi?
