Xbox 360, only for the most hardcore of hardcore gamers
Remember when it was a games console?
Seriously though, it's interesting how they're trying to appeal to everyone at once (and also kind of terrible)
This is pretty smart.
I miss the Xbox. It's a shame that the Mediaball came around and killed it.
I wish I didn't have to choose between Netflix and "NETFLIX FOR KIDZ!" every time I started up Netflix on the PS3. It's a good feature but I wish it was just an option within the app.
[QUOTE=Dead Madman;37142424]Remember when it was a games console?[/QUOTE] Yeah and now it's a media box. Which doesn't stop it from being a console.
Does it have a Gay & Lesbian movie category?
Yay. Jumanji is in the pic. Awesome series.

[QUOTE=A big fat ass;37144084]Does it have a Gay & Lesbian movie category?[/QUOTE] Yeah it does. That really weirded me out when I first saw it.

Pretty smart move considering the major age group revolving around the platform.
[QUOTE=JerryK;37146294]gears of war and halo are pretty good games[/QUOTE] Agreed, but it's definitely true that Microsoft is severely lacking in major exclusives this time around while Sony (and Nintendo to a lesser extent) is absolutely wrecking house with their stable of developers. I think Microsoft is using the "All-in-one" service, including all these media capabilities, to compensate for that and I honestly can't blame them for it.

That purchase is probably one of my most regretted ones. I still actually play my Xbox from time to time.

We can absolutely debate the quality of the games on the unit (which might be what you're speaking towards), but in terms of sales the Wii has decimated this generation.
Scream in Call of Duty and then calm down with some nice brain rotting spongebob.

Its mostly Gears/Halo, Forza, Fable(not really good now), and Kinect. They really should have tried to keep Mass Effect exclusive, but more people playing Mass Effect is better, but their reaction to ME2 being multiplatform was bullshit. They do need to secure some more major exclusives that isn't the usual Gears/Halo, Forza, Fable, Kinect, or CoD DLC(timed).

It would be amusing if the next generation is the mirror of this generation by having Sony lead the pack with their strong lineup of games with Microsoft catching up a few years later.

[QUOTE=C0linSSX;37146162]You mean [sub][sub][sub][sub]dead rising[/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub]?[/QUOTE] Oh god the joke about Dead Rising's terrible font is ancient. I'd sooner find a shitty joke like PS3 has no games funnier than that.
i'm pretty sure he was referring to 360 exclusive games
