I was going to get one sooner or later and every bugger had them in stock so thought id get one

Coughed up £335 for a premium package with king kong and PGR3

Havent played Kong- going to try and p/x it for something i might enjoy but so far playing PGR3 has not made me feel like ive got my whole £335 worth!

Anyone else felt the same when they first played theirs?

What decent games are there out there at the moment?

Cheers me old muckers

I don't know what you haven't means but
buying the console seperately would have cost about the same and then you get a game u want

ive played all games currently released and must say there is no WOW factor game as of yet. PGR is about the closest that programmers have got, and althoug it is im pressive only uses two at most of the available 3 processors so look forward to better looking games and better AI

If you have a HDTV and havent played COD2 on pc yet, get it. I think its the only game on the 360 so far that actually impressed me. Have PGR3 and PDZ.

should have waited for PS3, the Xbox 360 was hurried to get a quick release, the games are poor for £40+. COD2 is good but its better on my PC.

typical of microsoft releasing a rushed console and games line up.

it was rushed in time for xmas to get more sales. look at porblems - over heating, crashing plus the game line up wasnt the best, some copies of PC games, an old N64 game and repeats of Xbox games. IMO they are not much of a step forward (yet).
personally for 300notes i would have bought a sweet graphics card for my pc and enjoyed better quality games at half the cost of xbox games.

Rushed yes, but games line-up is still better than an we have had before in recent memory, PS2 for example. Crashing and over heating problerms are solved now anyway.

And most people dont have a PC powerful enough to pop in a good graphics card and expect to play at high-res. IMO its not bad price for £300 getting a hi-def gaming system capable of running games better than 1k plus systems.

Will wait till march when games not bieng rushed come out and actually allow the developers to show what the 360 is capable of.

XBox 360 nearest competition as far as performance goes is the XBox. What was the point?
