Bye Xbox 360

I am going to return my 360...why you ask? As anyone who knows me from xbox live the only game I play is halo 2. So why have a $400 machine that plays the same game as your 90 dollar machine? So I am giving it back to Target and will probably buy another one in a year.

Well there will be some really nice games coming out in the next few months for it.

If you're into fantasy RPG's, Oblivion is coming out next month

Yeah, I haven't bought one because there's no games I'm really itching to play. Also, there isn't yet the "community" amongst us that allowed us to have 15-30+ person clans in SOCOM & Halo.

It's just not worth the money, yet.

Of course when a system first comes out there is not a huge selection of games, but I think selling it is silly.

In a month's time, BF2:MC and GRAW will be out which will have awesome online communities. Almost every game already has a good online community as well. PDZ and COD2 are great online. There are other people to play with outside of AZ.

Well Cussdaddy, I think you are right. But I dont agree with you and Call of Duty. I agree on it being a great game, adicting and so realistic. But online, nooo noo noo. At least not now. Wait till next week, for the update(if they come through with it), to get rid of this LAG.

Mike, i know you are going to like Ghost Recon:Advanced Warefighter (GRAW) and Battlefield is another awsome game.

COD2 can be a pain at times with the lag, but the patch next week should fix it up nicely. The patch is definitely coming as MS has posted an update:

Hello everyone! Now that our first Title Update for Call of Duty 2 has been certified for release, we want to let you know what to expect. The update that was released today addresses a save game corruption issue that affected player progression for some people within the single player saved campaigns.

In addition, we are pleased to announce that we are testing a number of multiplayer enhancements to the community, including addressing the lag issues. We are working really hard on these updates. Development is a timely process and we appreciate your patience. Infinity Ward is excited about your enthusiasm and support for Call of Duty 2 and we look forward to speaking with you soon.
And another post from a developer of the game at IW:

"However, I personally believe that all the gripes will be gone after this patch. We're in the final state for both the 360 and the pc patches, and we have addressed almost all of the major issues that we heard about. I'll see what I can do to get more info to you guys in the future, but be patient and keep an eye out for the patch, I have no doubts you will all be satisfied."
I've had great games with little to no lag and others where it is terrible.

Actually I probably will, I haven't played a computer game since Duke Nukem

Some questions though...
What are the "hot" computer games out that you guys play?
How much is it to play online? My friend was telling me it was 15 bucks a month to play WOW, are all games like that or is it because WoW is so big?

Its ok man.. I am still here. Just not with ya guys. At times yes with some. But LIVE has other MILLIONS to play with. And dispite the lag on my addiction game Call of Duty, i have found new group that are playing on a glitch that lets you be host, pick levels and game types. sorda like a game lobby(which game is missing right now till the update). But you will all come at some time.

hmmm I am not sure, that if you get ghost recon and battlefield, that regular xbox can be linked to 360.. I dont think so.. why..hmm i think its becuase we got GOLD Live and SIlVER Live. xbox just has Xbox Live. So we will see how and what we could do to still play together.

You can't play the 360 versions with regular Xbox players. The only games where that is possible are playing regular Xbox games on the 360, not the 360 versions. Even though GRAW and BF2:MC are also on the Xbox, the 360 versions are highly different

I'm waiting for the price to come down. Plus I am still enjoying my regular XBOX very much. Not really any games out for the 360 that would warrant me buying one right now anyway.
