Is Anyone Pre-Ordering An X-Box ?? - GoFuckYourself.com

Slick · 09-07-2001, 12:39 PM

I'm just interested in seeing how many of your are pre-ordering the X-Box. I see that a couple of places are now taking pre-orders on them. I just went out and pre-ordered mine from EBGames.com. The thing that sucks about that is that they force you to buy a bundle pack, so you have to select between their packages, which aren't bad, but I'd like to pick out the games that I get.

I've signed up on Amazon's site for when they start taking orders to see if they'll sell them separately. I know that another place is also selling the X-Box in bundles, that's lame.

Oh well, I just wanted to know if anyone else is fired up about the X-Box. I can't wait for "WWF Raw Is War" to come out, that looks fucking excellent.

What's an X box? "Box-O'-Porn"?

Lane · 09-07-2001, 01:20 PM

ahhh you gamers
too much time in their hands

Slick · 09-07-2001, 01:36 PM

Ha ha ha, that's funny. You're right, you might think that an X-Box is a box of porn, he he he.

Actually, for those that don't know, here's what it is here http://www.xbox.com/hardware/consoles/xbox.htm

Lane, ha ha ha, gaming is a habit that's hard to break. I know that running a few sites does take a lot of time, but since I'm a full time webmaster, I can find time, he he he.

Slick · 09-07-2001, 01:41 PM

WOW, I just checked around at Amazon.com and they've already taken their pre-orders and had a cutoff, Chips & Bits did the same. EBGames.com still has some for pre-order, but they've already sold out of one or two of their bundles. If you want it, you'd better order it.

Last year when the PS2 came out, I thought that I'd pass on it and not pre-order it, then once it came out, I was dying for one, he he he. This year, it's not gonna happen, ha ha ha.

Yeah, I'm a gamer, and PROUD of it !!!

Speedy26 · 09-07-2001, 02:04 PM

kuwawawah · 09-07-2001, 03:21 PM

na, wait for all the good games first then buy it, like ps2 I rushed and no good games still. waiting for MGS2, don't even play GT2 as much anymore.

JakeR · 09-07-2001, 05:48 PM

X-box is going to be another 3DO or another Atari Jaguar, hot garbage.

I'll stick to my PS2, GT3 owns

I'll wait for the XXX-Box

Slick · 09-08-2001, 08:06 AM

The X-Box sells for $299. HOWEVER, most of the places online are selling bundles, which cost $499 which contain 3 games and an extra controller. Stores should have them individually.

I think that the system is gonna kick some ass. It's gonna be the most powerful system out there, blowing away the Nintendo Gamecube.

The thing is that Bill Gates has his money behind it, so I'm sure that he's not gonna let it fail. If you look at all of the companies that are gonna be making games for it, Sega, EA, Eidos, Midway, Lucas Arts, Activision, Konami, Microsoft (of course, he he), Acclaim, plus a few more. They got MOST of the major designers working for them. Sega is a BIG card for them, Sega is gonna be making some games for other systems, but they're mainly in the X-Box's bullpen and we all know that there's alot of Sega fans out there, I'm a big Sega fan myself, I bought everything that they put out.

Ok, and lastly, one more reason why the X-Box is gonna rule, Nintendo disappoints people. Look at the N-64, that system pissed off many people, expensive cartridges, lack of quality games, too many "kiddy games". The Playstation blew it out of the water. Sure, mommy and daddy will buy a Nintendo Gamecube for their kids, but the younger/middle aged male is gonna want an X-Box.

-----------------------
ALSO, the X-box is like a cheap computer. $299 will get you this -

Four game controller ports that allow easy multiplayer gaming and enable other peripherals, ranging from game pads to voice-activated headsets.

A front-loading DVD tray A multisignal audio-video connector that allows for easy
hookup to televisions and home theater systems.

An Ethernet port for rich, fast-action online gaming via a broadband connection

An NVIDIA graphics processing unit (GPU), delivering more than three times the graphics performance of other consoles.

An Intel 733MHz processor, the most powerful CPU of any console.

An internal hard drive, for massive storage of game information - a first in the console gaming industry.

64 Megs of ram.
----------------------------

So, you go out and build a computer like that for $299 and see what you come up with, he he he.

DarkJedi, you ask, "Why bother with consoles ?" I'll admit that the PC games do have the best graphics out there and I LOVE pc games. HOWEVER, nothing beats playing a sports or fighting game on a console system. PLUS RPG's a much different on consoles, so I have to have the best of both worlds, he he he.

BOO 2 the X-Box i stick with my PS2

I'm in the same boat man, I work till my eyes bleed then play games for 4 hours. Non-addicts just can't understand.

Lord Assmore · 09-08-2001, 11:56 AM

So X-Box is a Microsoft product... I guess their plan is dominate the console market too

Slick · 09-08-2001, 12:54 PM

Ha ha ha Warphead, that's how it is when you're a gamer, you JUST need to game. I'll be in the middle of workin here and I'll just have something eating away at me to put a game in and start playing, he he he.

I'm lucky enough that I have all day to work on my sites and game because if I also had to put in a full time job like I used to, I'd have no time for anything else in life, he he.

You're right, non-addicts just can't understand.

Yeah Lord Assmore, ole Bill Gates is looking to take over a new market. He actually had his hands in on the Sega Dreamcast. After that taste, he probably just wanted to taste the market on his own. I think that it's good to have another competetor in the market. Now that Sega is gone, someone else needs to pop up to keep everyone on their toes.

pimplink · 09-08-2001, 01:14 PM

I hope it lives up to the hype. Microsoft budgeted supposedly close to 1B hyping up that thing. Now, I'd be more surprised if they spent that money on development instead of hype. Then we'd have kick ass consoles.

Gary · 09-08-2001, 01:18 PM

I dont buy ANY microsoft product when it first comes out. You'll be playing a racing game and it will crash after every lap.

Amputate Your Head · 09-08-2001, 01:23 PM

Then someone will virus it and the cars will be flying instead.

HQ · 09-08-2001, 01:24 PM

slick's right. the xbox is going to rock. it's going to be the first system out with a graphics card more powerful than the best PC card out at the same time (since PC's had hardward accelarated graphics routines that is).

the xbox system itself is being sold for cheaper than it's worth, just so they can claim a hugh portion of the gaming market. kinda like giving away IE to put out netscape. don't underestimate microsoft! the system is easy to develop for and they have a shitload of developers working on it already.

however, it an attempt to make sure the public knows the xbox is not a PC, they won't be releasing a mouse / key*********bo for it. this means that FPS's are still going to be better on the PC. i'll kick anyone's ass in UT or a similar game if they're using a joypad and i'm using a mouse / key*********bo.

on the otherhand, the ps2 and gt3 fucking rock as well. i might get a ps2 just for that game alone. i'll never get an xbox though, cuz i own a PC already and games like halo and the likes will probably come out on the PC later on anyway... and i hate FPS games using a joypad.

I agree, DarkJedi - just in the price of PC's, but you cannot underestimate the X-box. MS has put a 1/2 billion in advertising in it, and plans on not making a profit for 5 years. Imagine that. Who else could do it but MS. They are going to put it on the shelves the day after the game cube comes out at the same price as the game cube, despite being far superior - this means they are selling it almost at cost. Pretty fucking amazing what the company can do with so much money to 'waste'.

I love the PS2 and GT3, but the x-box is going to rock for all the reasons of my previous post. There won't be anything to compare to it except PCs. And with the support of DirectX, developers can develope for both at the same time - quite a lot of time saved - and more minds working on games for the system than any other console (or PC), so more games and minds means more awesome games to choose from. Despite the fact that you'll be buying the technology almost at cost... where else can you do that in the computer field?

Don't get me wrong, though, GT3 rocks, and if no one gets their act together for the consoles other than PS for racers, it may remain the best driving game after the next 2 generations of consoles

PC is the only way to go. Best for games and everything else at the same time. Just get a high-end one and you're all set for many years. And always upgradable.

No console can touch the power of the newer PC's out now.
