I agree entirely. I was very disappointed with the system. I am returning the system with a threatning letter and considering taking legal action against Microsoft over it. I would suggest you do the same.

I guess your playing it on a 480I CRT TV... I have a wii collecting dust underneath my 360. I like Wii controls, but they dont work for everything. I.E... paper mario was horrible with the Wiimote, while zelda was good and future games will be good...

I did it.. I fell for the hype and I payed the price (400$ that is :'(). Two days ago i decided to buy a 360- i dont know why, but with all the great rated games on this site for the system, I said why not and used money i got from my birthday to buy the thing-what an absolute WASTE!!! I bought gears of war, and pgr was packed with the system. At first I played pgr for a while, and after the visual eye candy, the whole experience just wore off. The controller felt so static - in comparison with excite truck- and really felt horrible after playing with the wii mote and the freedom it allowed you. I actually had more fun with the geometry wars demo than the entire game ITSELF!! Next I tried gears of war, and boy what a dissapointment. After all the great reviews, this game was sooo repitive and dull-with the most idiotic dialogue I had ever seen. I played it for an hour and a half and got tired of the whole thing. I was so dissapointed with my 360 and i couldnt belive all the hype about its "great games"- theres barely anything worthwile on the system if pgr and gears are anything to go by...And get this... I woke up today to turn on the system, and guese what I got? 3 RED LIGHTS!!! this system is horrible, and i will be returning it soon enough- this is just a warning for other wii owners- dont get tricked by the hype for 360 games and the hi-def gimmick, the 360 is one of the worst systems this gen.. im just sticking with th epc from now on....

a pic for the non believers :)

It's called bias. He owns a 360. His opinion is fake. His bias is fake. He's well known around here.

i doubt you've ever seen a 360 let alone played one.....

you should stick to waving that tingle wand about ....

no one who owns a 360 can say its games are bad and even if by some fluke this thread is'nt all lies then how can someone base an entire system on just two games????

i can do that also...

the wii is crap because spiderman 3 and zelda are poor....do you see??

the only difference is spiderman 3 and and zelda are poor titles...

Receipt? You said you were going to return your 360 that you bought two days ago with your birthday money... in order to do that you'd have to have the receipt.

So, can you scan it?

Just curious.

Could you do me a favor luigi, since you have a scanner, scan the end of the 360 box with the microsoft tag (y'know, the multiple barcodes and unit info) with that same piece of paper with your GS username written on it. Also, what's your manufacturer date? That's a pretty vital piece of info with regard to red rings.

I own multiple 360 games, and do not own a 360.

I believe him 100%, particularly because of that picture... but not for the same reasons y'all think.  The blurred backround is the roof of the scanner itself; it isn't touching the surface of the scanned area, which is why it appears to be blurred.  Of course, he could have scanned a copy of his friend's 360 game, but... why would he go through the trouble?  And how would he be able to reach his friend's house so quickly while being able to reply to nearly everything in a timely manner?  I think its real.  A receipt would pretty much confirm it, though.

Oh my ****ing god.  All of you sound like broken records.  "This is obviously fake, because he doesn't like teh same games we do!!!!" Who gives a **** if his past history is with Nintendo?  It may be that unlike the rest of you, he was willing to give another console manufacturer's product a chance.  He didn't like it.  You especially got riled after he said that GeoW was boring after the first hour and a half and that PGR was nothing special.  Are you lemmings so attached to the 9.6 GeoW got that you can't realize that its score was primarily based on graphics alone?  Sure, it had solid gameplay, but it wasn't special, or different.  Hell, there were games that were pretty much doing the same thing that came out yearsbefore GeoW, like Killswitch.  Multiple sites agree with this; its basically a good showcase for the potential of the 360, but Epic focused on the presentation more than the gameplay, and they especially dropped the ball when it comes to replay value.  The single-player is too uninteresting to warrant a second playthrough, and many owners of the game agree with this; that's why they play online.  But as Luigi here has explained to us, his 360 wasn't online enabled.  Thus, one of the biggest reasons to get the game is negated, and all that is left is a shallow single-player mode that quickly becomes repetitive.

As for PGR3... while it certainly is a good game, it may be the case that luigi, who does not hide the fact that he is a Wii fan, prefers the Wiimote so much to traditional controllers that what he may have liked before he got a Wii has now become dull.  All the review scores in the world won't change somebody's controller preference.

If this isn't enough to make his OP believable, note that he was basically able to answer all of your questions pertaining to the games that he bought.  It is true that Geometry Wars is available in the arcade in the garage.  He also managed to explain the intro of GeoW.  Hell, he even went through the trouble to scan the two 360 games that he owned, out of their cases to prove that he had the disks and the slip of paper that you asked for.  Surely you people aren't so biased that you believe that any complaint levered against the "console with teh best games" is automatically false.  If you do, then that is very, very sad.

dude,

system cost enough now that you should know before you buy, if you like that system. That's why I bought a 360, and haven't bought the other 2 just yet. If I bought a wii or PS3 right now, they'd collect dust. You wouldn't be on here trolling if you had the sense to research a 400 dollar item before you bought it.

And there's the handy excuse. You don't own an Xbox 360. Based on your posting history, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if you actually bought the two games just to post this picture, and you plan on returning them tomorrow.

Try re inserting the ahrd drive. Could be that. When I had my first 360 it was a defective hard drive and I got a new one from Circuit City. I did not keep my 360 though and gave it back after 30 days since I wasn't really happy with it. Circuit City and their happy policy of 30 days is great :).

As a Wii owner, I enjoy my 360 immensely.
