This 360 looks kick ass.

Now I wish I didn't get mine a few weeks ago.

Demecas

how do I say this.

I DON"T CARE!!!!!!!

Zymeth

Wow, and I'm getting one sometime before H3 comes out... I need to tell Powner Nub!

Dr. Salem

Durandal

Salem, never apologize for that. Dema, perhaps you need to look at rule 4 again.

About the Halo Xbox 360, I definitely wouldn't wait just so I could get a green xbox. It isn't even an xbox elite, so it isn't worth it.

The only debate I have to consider as I ponder my xbox possibilities is should I wait for the 65nm chips or just go ahead and get an Elite right now. I still haven't decided.

BlackBlade

I'm happy with my launch Xbox 360. I think I have to only one that didn't fry

Durandal

No, we still have one that works. My brother still uses it at home.

Dr. Salem

I like the orange parts, thats pretty much it.

Think I can paint the chrome on my 360 to make it orange without the warranty being voided? Car paint should let it still have that shine.

Spirit Wolf

Put opalescent paint on it, makes it look cool.

Durandal

I just can't decide what I should do about getting my 360. Should I buy an Elite now for $480? Should I wait until the Elite replaces the Premium and buy it then? Should I wait for the 65nm chip to replace the old 90nm ones?

I guess I don't really need a 360 now, so I can wait. It would be nice to get Xbox Live though, that's for sure.

Dr. Salem

How many games are you looking forward to playing? That should justify the choice.

Durandal

I'm not sure I follow your logic.

I have a lot of games I could play, but none of them I need to. Now, I will obviously need a 360 when Medal of Honor Airborne, TimeShift, Mass Effect, and Halo 3 come out.

Dr. Salem

Well, doesn't the 65nm chip come out around the time of those games? Plus, wouldn't all your games be at your house with your 360? So you technically wouldn't even have your games to play right now unless you have them all at your dorm.

Durandal

What? Leave my precious games at home with my 360 and my brother?!? Heck no... They're in a box under my bed. I only left him Oblivion and Gears of War. The rest are with me.

But yeah, I think I will wait. I just wish they'd hurry up.

Dr. Salem

You still have your computer at least?

By the way, I'm curious. Whats your favorite games in your collection? I only have Oblivion in my possession, but I like Saints Row and RS: Vegas the best.

Durandal

I've never really liked the Rainbow Six series, although the latest does seem the greatest. To be honest, I don't really have a single favorite. I have ones that I really enjoy for a particular reason.

Most played: Dynasty Warriors 5: Empires
Best driving: Burnout Revenge
Best racing: Need for Speed: Most Wanted
Best FPS: FEAR
Best horror: Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth (I still can't even play that it freaks me out)
Hardest and most frustrating game: Ninja Gaiden Black

The closest thing I have to a favorite would have to be Halo (1).

Funny story about Ninja Gaiden Black: I was playing in my room and I was on the second boss. He'd killed me about 14 times already and I'd tried a variety of strategies. I finally found one that worked but it was very hard. I was getting better and better until I seemed to hit a plateau. Then my performance started dropping dramatically. It might have been because my contacts were drying out, my hands were getting sweaty, I was getting overconfident or just lazy, I don't know.

Now, normally I'm a very mellow guy. I don't swear very often and if you know my background you know why. My parents are very conservative Christian ones, and I have never heard my father use a swear word. My mom has cussed maybe ten times that I've ever heard. And those were usually 'ass' or 'hell.'

So, anyway... when the boss's minions killed me yet again, I had absolutely had it. I was on my feet so fast I didn't know what had happened (I had been sitting on the floor in a bean bag), I threw the controller to the ground, and I yelled with all my might at my TV, "FUCK YOU!!!"

Needless to say my door and the hallway door were open and the next thing I heard (besides my own thundering heartbeat as I realized my folly) was my mom yelling "Jon!"

I immediately turned my HDTV and the 360 off and ran out to apologize, but oddly enough she didn't seem to care after I had gotten off. It probably had something to do with me doing the dishes without being asked to work off some steam.

Dr. Salem

Hmm, you play Fatal Frame? That's supposed to be the scariest game series. Number two specifically.

Durandal

Ooh, sorry it took so long to respond. I didn't even see your question.

No, I haven't played Fatal Frame. I'll look into it.

I can't remember now, did you say you have The Darkness? If so, how is that? I'm considering adding it to my list of games to get. I've added this one.

Dr. Salem

Good story, good gameplay, and gruesome gore.

The only thing I didn't like was the ending, it leaves room for a sequel, but look at Halo 2's ending. It left too much room for a sequel. You barely knew what really happened.

Durandal

Halo 2's ending was frustrating and annoying, and even Bungie knows that. Even though it was very irritating, I have to give them credit for trying to make it better. They've apologized for it and also other mistakes they made in Halo 2 (like the weak melees and grenades). The ability of them to admit they messed up and work to fix it is something that makes them above average in my minds.

And cool, I'll get the Darkness once I get a 360 then.

Spirit Wolf

I want to get a 360, but I'm broke. Hell, I even owe people money. I need a job

Dr. Salem

That's the same for me as well, and Starbreeze (The developer of The Darkness [And Riddick: EBB]) is well above average in my eyes because seeing the storyline and cut scenes through first person kicks ass. That and good gameplay.

Zymeth

I perfer 1st person to 3rd. It just looses the feeling if you can see your own head.

Durandal

Okay, adding two games to my wishlist for once I get a 360:
