I noticed we didn't have a proper Xbox 360 thread, rather we have a few different ones. I thought it would be better if all the xbox 360 stuff could go in here, it would make it easier and neater. Also, it's the only next gen (or is it now current gen? :shock: ) console out, so hey, it deserves one. Also, the PS3 and the Rev have thier own.
Anyway, feel free to discuss. :)

I'm pretty stoked about the 360, but I want to wait until the next board revision before purchasing it. What with all the bugs and crashes that have been talked about on the net, I'm sure there will be some sort of fixes on later revisions. That was the main factor that made my wife and I decide to get the regular XBox for now as opposed to the 360. We'll probably purchase it in another year or something... it's going to be hard waiting that long though :?

The 360 is awesome looking, but the only games that I am really, really excited about are Morrowind and what looks to be the uber rpg of the next gen consoles, Mass Effect.

Those RPGs would be the only games I could enjoy.
I'm no big shooter and sports games fan...
The 360 isn't selling very well in Japan. Maybe they dump it in a sale for 100$ some time, then I'd think about buying it. :P

Although i've not had mine long, I haven't experienced any problems, but after reading various things on the 'net i'm slightly concerned.
Anyway, on the whole, i'm pleased with it so far.

Your brother is a liar. or The thing your brother read was written by a liar. The 360 is having a hard time selling 500 units a week, while the PSP/DS war usually hits in the 30 thousand mark for each.

I've been stading mine up, mainly as my desk is overcrowded. I should make room and lie it down as i'd hate to mess it up.
As for the 360 out selling the PSP in Japan, I don't believe that. I've read in countless places that the 360 is struggling in Japan. Did the original xbox do poorly in Japan as well?

Well, you have to understand that most 360s aren't having any problems... however, the problems that are happening (such as the supposed disk scratching) have been blamed by some on the fact that it wasn't made to be played vetically.

The supposed disc scratching can be blames solely on stupidity. you can play it vertically or horizontally with zero problem, just don't move it while the console is on (which should be common sense with any console...) the scratching is only caused when morons switch it from horizontal to vertical while the disc is spinning.

Hey David. You have a 360, do you by chance have a wired controller with it? if so, Could you see if the little disconnect section on it would connect with the disconnect section on the Xbox 1 controller cable? I've been wondering if the 360 controllers would work on the XBox 1 since I looked at that disconnect and noticed that it was very similar (if not exactly the same) on both consoles.

I had a quick look and it is very similar, but they are not exactly the same. However, I don't have an xbox controller (from the original one) so this is how it appears to the naked eye. But I think they're not the same. I'll get an xbox controller from my friend tomorrow and check then, just to be sure.

I'm pretty anxious to find out, 'cause using a 360 pad on my Xbox would be absolutely awesome.

I won't be able to test it until monday, but according to a friend who tried, it doesn't work.
Nope, it didn't work i'm afraid. Shame, really.
