How annoyed are you by MS lack of 360 availabilty?

[Mr. Credible]

there's not an option up there i can agree with. i have my 360, rarely touch it with the random fight night3 match being the exception, and i really don't care for microsoft at all, making everyone else wait to get their 360. i also find it hard to believe that they can't get enough units out to meet demand, that just seems silly to me.

they completely rushed the launch for no good reason other than to be out before christmas, and they didn't have enough systems (or games) created beforehand to meet demand.

so eff them. right in the a.

Well I'll see if I can create an option just for you Mr. Cred

PS3 looks like a cooking pot I can shove a small chicken in and toss in the oven.

YES! That's one of it's features. Can you do that with your 360?

*PFFT*......HAVEN'T YOU HEARD? YOU CAN COOK YOUR WHOLE THANKSGIVING DINNER ON A '360', AND KEEP YOUR GRAVY WARM ON THE "POWER BRICK".

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

I don't need to, I can already cook food in my oven, where it belongs.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

well, you're awfully fun.

 

[Mentok]

Yeah, I am kinda pissed about it now

I've got a 360, actually got it just when I really wanted one. Did my taxes, got a big return and the next day on my way to work saw a store that was selling 360's and picked one up. I like the system, my only problem is two of the games I got, King Kong and Kameo were very short, also have Perfect Dark, but haven't played it much yet. I've also seen them at random times at the Best Buy I go to, I think they're becoming more readily available.

BASTARD!

it's much to early to argue... but honestly, you don't think microsoft could have had more systems available, and more (and better) games if they'd waited a bit to release? instead of rushing just for the sake of being the first next-gen console (even though they were in no danger of being anything but).

 

[Uriel Septim]

I already have one losers.

Wow, +10 @ Life for you then

 

[Uriel Septim]

I also have Oblivion. +10000000 life for me.

Damn

WELL, LET'S THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MINUTE, SHALL WE?

THE REASONS FOR THE SHORTAGE WERE ALL MANUFACTURING ISSUES (YES....IT'S TRUE; IF YOU BELIEVE IN THAT "IT WAS ALL TO DRIVE UP DEMAND" CRAP, YOU'RE NOT WORTH MY TIME HERE). IF THEY'D "WAITED", THAT MEANS THE MFG ISSUES LIKELY WOULD'VE JUST BEEN DELAYED........WHICH MEANS YOU'D STILL BE B****ING ABOUT THIS AROUND JULY-AUGUST OF THIS YEAR. NOW, IF THAT HAD HAPPENED, DON'T YOU THINK 'MS' WOULD BE IN AN EVEN BIGGER PICKLE, WITH 'PS3' AND 'REV' JUST A FEW MONTHS AWAY?

FACT IS, JUST LIKE WITH THE GAMES, YOU CAN'T FULLY TEST A PRODUCT, AND THE MFG PROCESS BEHIND IT, WITHOUT ACTUALLY MAKING AND SELLING YOUR PRODUCT. IT'S VERY SIMPLE, BUT SOME PEOPLE JUST CAN'T SEEM TO GRASP THE CONCEPT.

 

[Mr. Credible]

sorry, guy, but none of that stuck. i mean, i read it, and understood it, but it really just didn't do anything for me.

It's all explained in the new EGM

EGM SUCKS ASS........AND BESIDES, I DON'T NEED SOME GAMING MAG TO "EXPLAIN" ANYTHING, BECAUSE I JUST SUMMED IT UP IN THAT POST.

Same thing happened with the PS2 though and they had a much, much worse launch games lineup.

I'm planning on getting a PS3. I need a new George Forman grill.

I DON'T THINK IT WILL LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THAT THOUGH. WITH A STANDARD 60GB HDD, AND ALL THAT HORSEPOWER, IT'LL NEED TO BE DESIGNED A BIT BIGGER/DEEPER FOR VENTING PURPOSES. I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT IT BEING 100% LIQUID COOLED, SO I'D SAY IT WOULD GET ABOUT AS WARM AS THE '360'........BUT NOT QUITE WARM ENOUGH TO COOK A BURGER.
