baseballva Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I am aware that this topic has been exhausted, but I seriously need some help. I am a sports gamer and I play an occasional shooter like Ghost Recon or THE GODFATHER. I am planning to purchase the 360 along with a brand new copy of MLB 2k7 tomorrow afternoon. I have read reviews and all the multiplatform games look and operate better on a the 360 than the PS3. Also, the Xbox 360 controller is alot more comfortable than the PS3 to me. However, graphics are very important to me and I am also aware of the hype that the graphical ability of the Ps3 gets despite having not utilized it yet. I am also concerned that Microsoft is going to release an X-box model with HDMI capability and totally make my purchase obsolete. So...I really want it now because I love baseball games and this one is supposed to one of the greatest ever. However, do you think I should wait for the remote possibility that they will release HDMI, should I wait till I have another 200 bucks and buy a PS3, or just go all out and blow 460 bucks tomorrow on MLB 2K7 and a 360. Also, are they reliable enough now to take a risk on not buying the Two Year thing and is Circuit City warranty plan no hassle. ...BTW...I could care less about a high-def player...all I care about is sheer game playing. I hope I don't make anyone angry by bringing this up, but I think this approaches the console debate in a different context. I totally understand if Coach and the mods want to lock it...if so...I apologize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan07 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Get a 360 and get Gears of War. That's the only game you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I'm leaning toward getting a Wi just because some of the games look so damn fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pez Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 No... stop.... don't do it..... (in monotone voice) That's all I got... I have a 360 and a Wii.... love them both, especially since I have recently tried xbox live for the first time.. The Wii is great for when you have friends over, and want to eat drink and have a good time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awd_sr Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 go for it man, get that 360, its sweet. And using the normal HD connection, the graphics are pretty sweet. I dont think you'd notice a huge difference if using HDMI connection. I have the 360 and Wii too, I love the wii, especially for the little ones, and its almost like exercise when you play it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinclair Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I'm leaning toward getting a Wi just because some of the games look so damn fun. Dude..Wii is the way to go! I absolutely LOVE mine! But to the original poster...go for it if you want it...I dont suggest the PS3...way to expensive for games and the system, if i were to get a second nexgen system it would be the 360.

codeorama Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 The 360 is the real deal. I just got the Godfather today and it is an awesome game. Can't wait to play it to death this weekend. MLB 2k7 is completely badass as well. I got the Wii for my nephew and I love the system but its not the same. Its fun, but as an adult, the 360 is a lot better for my enjoyment.

portisizzle Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Don't get the 360. If you do I will kick your punk ass up one side of the field on Madden and down the other. You don't want that humiliation now do you? Flitchplate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chump Bailey Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Wouldn't dream of it - go for it! My little brother has one connected to his 50 inch plasma - insane graphics- truly. I'm waiting for the price to drop personally but it's getting harder each day:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 i'm kinda thinking of getting one, but i don't like the idea of paying for online services. what's this i hear about silver membership? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphus Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 i'm kinda thinking of getting one, but i don't like the idea of paying for online services. what's this i hear about silver membership? Silver is worth what you pay for it. Squat. Full Xbox Live membership is where it's at. In addition to the multi-player gaming funwhich really expands the value of the console and game, most new games have playable demos available for download for free. You can very quickly get a sense of which games are worth a rental and which ones are not ... without ever leaving your couch and finding that Blockbuster didn't have it anyway, or waiting for Gamefly to ship it.

Sec325 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Get a PS3, i have both and the PS3 is much better...and Gears of War is awsome, but way to short...Army of 2 comes out is Sept and that game looks sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blighty Skins Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Get it...just for the baseball game. I don't have one...and I still play MVP Baseball 2005 and it's getting pretty silly now with all the changes that have happened...though as far as I'm aware...there are no decent baseball games for the PC. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is ashame that 2ksports does not realize the tremendous following that baseball sims has among PC users. MVP though, is one of the best baseball games ever and it is rare to find. I remember when it was like $10 for a copy at Wal-Mart. Now...you won't find a decent used copy for less than 50 or 60 bucks on ebay and an amazon.com seller the other day sold a brand new copy of it for $130 dollars!!!!

Reic Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Get the 360, better games, more titles. And if microsoft doesn't have it yet, they'll just buy the rights Get Lost Planet and Gears of War too...!! Oh yeah, Guitar Hero 2 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy:rolleyes: Reminds me of what I had to do to get a copy of MVP. It's not available here in Britain, I had to order it in Hong Kong...then when the copy arrived it says "Not to be sold in Europe or Canada". So I have a bootleg copy. I'll never sell it cos it's the only baseball game I have and I love beaning Jeter...he never reacts...what a gentleman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighPlainsDrifter Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I have all three systems and all are good. The only negative that I can offer on the Xbox is that it is really loud. When the disc starts spinning it sounds like the thing is gearing up for take off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Pressure Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 For the kind of money you spend on a 360 you could be buying a rifle or something more fun/interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Pablo Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Get a 360 if all you care about is sports and FPS games. Personally, I hate FPSers. Actually, I really liked Golden Eye and a couple others. It gets old, though, when every killer app the 360 gets is another FPS. Gears of War is basically a FPS at its core, too. I enjoy a good football, RPG, or action game like Madden (or the visual concepts game that EA f'ed over), Final Fantasy XII and Metal Gear Solid. You would think that would put me in the PS3 camp, but no game is worth the initial $600 fee to play it. I guess I'm still playing my PS2 and Dreamcast, although between my brother and myself, we have every major system dating back to atari (excluding the PS3).

JWB Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Many great games will be coming out for the 360 that are not just fps but haters are gonna hate. Now with that out of the way....i haven't even touched gears of war ever since Rainbow Six:Vegas came out. Best multiplayer game on 360 right now.

baseballva Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 I love beaning Jeter...he never reacts...what a gentleman. Yeah...I always used to do that to Jeter, but mostly Jim Edmonds (I am a Cubs fan). My hate for Jeter was lightened when I saw how much of a girl Arod is.

PCS Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Why? Go for it. Been thinking about treating myself to a present like that recently as well. May not be soon, but I will get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
