The XBOX 360 blows ass. Seriously. The very first time I saw the specs of the 360 as well as the design and games, I just went "Oh great. They've ruined the XBOX". Don't believe me? Let's go through the reasons.
1. The XBOX 360 isnt even done yet, meaning all those fancy videos are fake.
Yep. I looked into this one. Now, all of you that were talking out your ass about the "Alpha 1" s*** that went on in the E3 showroom can now eat it: Guess what the demos were running on? Choose your answer!
[] High Powered Microsoft Machines
[] The XBOX 360
[] Apple G5s.
If you answered Apple G5s, you were right! Yep, all those videos and games on the E3 floor were running on modified Apple computers. Ignoring the obvious (Microsoft using Apple), there's a lot of problems with that. For ONE, that means that they've already decided on using fake demos on fake systems, which will basically guarantee you that the system is going to be s***ty. Sorry, but it's true- I doubt Microsoft will do much to fix the problems. Then again, they might, but that's asking for intelligence from the people who thought the bigger-than-my-balls controllers were a good idea.
2. Periodic content is like having a midget bite your p**** off.
When I get on the internet, I want one of the following things:
- Porn
- My website
- Chatting
- Porn
See anywhere on there "Ass-long downloads of periodic content that should have been released with the first game"? No. Of course not. When I want a game, I go buy it at the store, because then I'm somewhat guaranteed that it's going to be, say, playable.
With the XBOX 360, a big factor is going to be Periodic Content, which essentially means you download per "Episode" games. For example, its like having to download Dungeon 1 of Zelda, then wait for the XBOX to download Dungeon 2. I wouldnt mind that, but I prefer using my internet connection for things other than downloading three-plus-gigabyte-games from overtaxed Microsoft servers.
The big problem here is that you know automatically what's gonna happen: When a big game releases, all the servers are going to be slower than a retard doing calculus, so no-one will get the game for years. Instead, all the smart guys will be walking to the store (Even walking would be faster) and getting the game. Seriously.
