Thread: 4 Month Review of My Xbox 360

BioShock is also on PC. GoW is on PC and OSX.

Does "exclusive" just mean not on other consoles?

I believe "exclusive" means that it's only on one platform. I could be wrong. However, our argument was 360 vs PS3 so since the PS3 doesn't have those games I'll let it slide.

Got "my" 360 back today (it's a different unit... no hdmi )

Thought I might have to practice to get my NHL 08 skills back... nope. My opponent quit late in the 3rd when I was up 7-2.

I also notice I'm still at the top of the LGK NHL 08 league.



Any challengers?

Plus, Halo 3 will also come out for PC at some point. Usually exclusive means single platform (like Nasti said), although this is a PS3 vs 360 discussion, but PC can't really just be counted out. It's not as large a market share as it used to be, thanks to XBOX and Halo suddenly and inexplicably making gaming "cool". PC gaming hasn't really lost it's market though, I have never met anyone who left PC gaming for consoles except on some genres. The games people did start buying on consoles INSTEAD of PC were generally more or less niches genres though, such as racing games, which never really was a big seller on PC. The only people I have met who used to game on the PC, but now have consoles were people who weren't gamers in the hardcore sense, but people who hadn't seriously played games (or at all) since non-text-based games were in their infancy and consoles hadn't really bitten into the market yet.

That's bull****. If your original xbox had hdmi I would raise hell.

Mine lasted over a year and then crapped out on me on christmas day:(

Dude, I would call Microsoft immediately and as Bandit said ... raise some ****in hell. If they don't have any HDMI units available to replacements then they need to make them available.

man it sounds like a ****ing headache dealing with a 360.

I guess I should have been more clear.... my original one didn't have HDMI either. I probably should have said "different unit, still no hdmi."

I was under the impression that if I didn't get my original unit back that they'd send a newer one. The one I received back, though, has an even earlier manufacture date than my original... I don't have high expectations for this one's lifespan.
