XBOX360 - Waste of Money

Should Have Bought a PS3:

XBOX360

No Wireless - $99.99 for an adapter (PS3 has Built in WIFI)

XBOXLive Monthly Fee (PS3's service is Free)

No Dolby Digital Through HDMI ($49.99 for adapter + $19.99 for Optical Cable | PS3 routes Digital Audio through one single HDMI)

* Bought XBOX a year ago, not the elite version.

Your going to get ate up, the new version of 360 has most ofthose features.

I severly lol'd @ TC's fanboyism.

On-Topic: 360 has the best online service, and that was a sell....and LOLOLOL @ $100 wifi adapter...look at the news lately?

Why?

I mean, this guy feels he got ripped off, he seems angry, put off, and/or dismayed about it,

he seems genuine about his feeling, and with that, what's to argue?

I agree with him.

Why should anyone get angry about this guy being genuine? Why?

In my opinion, we need more genuineness in the world today. :)

Really could you have thought of a worse time to make this thread new 360 has built in Wi-fi and PSN is coming out with a $50 a year online service...horrible timing.

This is coming from the same guy who thought PS3 was 25-50% more powerful than 360...

ethernet cables cost $1

[QUOTE="markinthedark"]

not my xbox... i get dolby through my HDMI cable. Clearly you hooked something up incorrectly.

If you paid $99 for an adapter when you could have used any old one for $30 is the 360 to blame? :PNinja-Hippo

Wow, we're back in 2006 i see ...

If thats so ... PS3 haz no gamez !!!

*sigh*

Fine TC if you want me to give you a decent response here it is. I'm prefectly fine with my purchase. I bought the Xbox360 to play games. I'm loving my Xbox360. I don't regret my purchase. Your view on what is a waste of money is very narrow.

[QUOTE="markinthedark"]

[QUOTE="Aqueas"] Exactly, XBOX will not output it through HDMI, only through Optical Cable, and you can't have both hooked up at the same time. You either have Great picture and crap audio, or you get Great audio and crap picture. The 50 dollar adapter allows for both.Aqueas

my xbox is connected directly to my AV reciever... not my tv.

I bought a 360 about 2 years back and think its a fantastic deal. It has provided me with hours and hours of entertainment, has an amazing library with many quality titles and a great selection of arcade games. I bought a PS3 about a year back and have found the experience to be remarkably similar. You cant go wrong either way..designer-

Oh yes sir,

I did say that, it was a "truce" of sorts.

I still do believe it, and I know I'm right in principle since XBOX 360 continues to falter with its 2010 retail exclusives (sub HD), whereas PS3 does not.

If the 360 has equivalent power, then I expect to see it. If it can't show it, then.....well, the debate is pretty much over, I think.

To coin the old saying/phrase....I'm from Missouri. ;)

are you going to blame the developer if the 360 version runs better than the ps3 one?

Still too much. You guys getting the point? They want you to buy all of this extra stuff when clearly the PS3 is cheaper in the long run. Should have bought one.Aqueas

What is that Persistantthug dude on about, anyway? How is the fact that he's from Missouri relevant to the argument?Arbiterisl33t69

Honestly,

You bring up a good point.

I certainly didn't mean to go off topic, but a few individuals wanted my word/take on a couple topic-situations of the past. I try to keep my manners and stay polite as much as possible, and part of that "good mannerism" if you will, is to try and respond to people and not leave them hanging.

I suppose not all of my good mannerisms are not appreciated by everyone, I guess.

I'll try and modify my ideals a bit and try to stay on the OP's topic.

Thank you for reminding me of that, sir. :)
