Launch approaching

[Badger]

So, it's one week from today...the Xbox 360 launch.   Who's excited?  I saw a demo unit in BestBuy over the weekend and there was a huge crowd around it...watching folks play Call of Duty.  Very cool.  

I've never been a huge console fan (I don't own any), but I'm going to be getting a 360.

I can't think of anything they have on a console that isn't more fun to do in real life.

[Alphamazing]

Eh, I barely play my regular Xbox anymore. It saddens me. The 360 is going to be the same size as the old one, so it'll be just as difficult to try and transport it.

Like chatting with random invisible people on the internet?   :lol:

I reserve the right to drop by the home of anyone I chat with on the 'Net for dinner.   :mrgreen:

[JetSwing]

they overhyped halo 2. it wasn't all that.

i love tom clancy games. you can't do that in real life.

Sure...but I'm still not seeing a big difference between chatting with people and dropping by for dinner vs. Chatting with people while blowing them up and dropping by for dinner.  :dunno:
Admit it, there are times you'd like to frag half the folks on this board.
The last console that I owned was an Atari 2600.  I'm not usually a big fan, mostly because I don't have the time to kill on a console.  I do find the Xbox 360 very compelling, nonetheless.  :dunno:

Play Tony Hawk...

Nobody can do that shaZam! in real life.  I love that game.   :mrgreen:

Like stealing cars and going on a rampage tearing San Andreas city apart without consequence?

I just beat a game called "God of War" on PS2.  And I don't have a new game so I am going to beat GT4 again (3rd time).  

God of War was crazy!  But I can't wait to get "Gun".  Maybe this weekend.

for some reason, I just keep going back to crazy taxi

[davipu]

i own a bolt action rifle just for those kind of occasions  

[Phaedrus]

I have a hard time peeling myself away from the computer. I can't seem to make time for video games..hehe. I like them...jsut never have time. I'm a busy guy, you know.

[jake42]

i'm having fun with the Warriors from PS2 right now.  It's not too long, but yoiu bascially get to roll around a circa 1979 NYC and kick the shaZam! out of other gangs. Good, clean, Christian fun.

[JetSwing]

what's a bigfoot 2?

[Mr.7]

Bigfoot 2 Built in the summer of 1982, Bigfoot 2 was the first truck to wear the 66x43x25" Firestone 23-degree flotation tires now on all standard sized Bigfoot trucks. After touring Australia as Safarifoot, Bigfoot 2 was sold to an independent owner in 2000.

As seen at http://www.msport-uk.com/monster/bigfoot_trucks.php

That, Jetswing, is what a bigfoot 2 is
