XBox 360 "High Def Graphics"

[TurboC--]

I like the new Xbox 360 commercial which highlights the fact that in some basketball game, Shaq can sweat like a madman.  Shaq sweat.  Now THAT makes me want to buy a console ......

If I was gay I'd probably like to see big black men sweat too.

Maybe you should take a long walk off a short pier with that comment.... i don't think that was where he was going with his post.   

[elvis]

But don't you know that seeing the sweat on a player's brow in-game will make gameplay SO much more fun than the current generation of 3D basketball games?

How dare you question the greatness that are marketdroids!  Please go and flagellate yourself at once.

So the guy is excited about the new console, no need to call him gay. 




Tommy has a no tolerance for stupid responses is now in affect.

At least someone here can spot sarcasm, I was beginning to wonder.

Or you just happen to be to poor, cheap, or dumb to pick up a next gen console and are giving him crap for having/wanting something thats shiney and new..

so ANYONE who doesn't have a new Xbox 360 is either poor, cheap, or dumb?  Is that your stance?

That's the way I read it. I'd own one if the thing had any games that appeal to me - or at least appeal to me more than what I can play on on my current gen systems. It doesn't.

And the original post was definitely sarcasm. Not that it isn't hilarious watching the panties get in a twist over a comment that was made in jest.

Sarcasm is lost on Tommy. He was in defense mode.

[shmokes]

Shiny and new are simply not at the top of my priority list when I'm deciding whether I want to buy a videogame console.

No

But someone who rags on something "expensive" and puts it down generally means they dont have "access" To one..

Sure....If you're 15 years old

Can we please lower this? I mean, I'm thirteen and I wouldn't do that. Twelve would probably be a more accurate age.

Do I want an xbox 360? of course. The games out look prretty good, but I can't afford or find one, so I'm out of luck.

Sarcasm is lost on all American message boards.  Any Aussies posting should have automatic <sarcasm> tags wrapped around all posts to avoid unecessarily insulting people.

And since when was self flagellation limited to gay people?  Equal flagellation rights for all, I say!

Nonsense. There are plenty of expensive things that I want, but don't have. I don't make fun of these things, I covet them.

By your reasoning, everying that costs more than some amount of money is longed for by everyone. That's silly. My mother-in-law has one of those sit down hair dryers like they have in beauty salons. It was very expensive. I have no interest in owining one just because it costs a lot of money.

Personally I hate consoles. I can afford them but for some reason, they just seem to plain suck (Except for the SNES. That one rocks)

I've been playing Prince of Persia: Sands of time on my PC for a while and found the game to be excellent.

I also played it on a friend's PS2 and it just lost all the magic.

Oh well

[rackoon]

AAAAMEN BROTHER!

 I can afford a 360 but I wont buy one until I am convinced that it has taken vids to the next level.

 High Def is great and all but what I want is longer more complicated games that I cant beat in a few days.   
   
  Hell , I have been playing just MAME lately because most of the games  get harder to the point of impossibility insted of just ending.

Lets face it you can buy a freaking computer for $399.99

Sigh..

Point missed by every single one of you..

I think its pretty clear.  Your point is jealousy.  Simple as that.  You have something I don't, so I'm jealous... therefore the only thing I can do is make fun of you.  And I do so because I'm poor, stupid, ignorant, a bad dresser, et al.

Only thing is... you are wrong.  He has it.. I dont... and I can care less.  I have no desire for it even though I could afford one if I wanted.  Technically, I could even hop on eBay and pay stupid prices for one.  I'm not cheap, as I buy things that I truly want all the time.  And as for being dumb... that's just absurd.  A person is unintelligent because they don't buy the new hip thing?  Wow... spoken like a true 15 year old.

I'd say that even if I DID want one right now, I'd be pretty smart to not have one, seeing as there are a lot of complaints with overheating, crashing, and graphic issues.  Sure, chances are I'd get one that is ok... but why not let them work out the bugs and get a better one in a few months.

Since we're all too poor, cheap and dumb to get whatever point it was that think you were trying to make, how's about you explain it to us in small words that we can understand.
