Pre-launch analysis of the XBOX 360by Kirk, 2005-11-14 |

5. Many websites are comparing the XBOX 360 to the Dreamcast
1up, a decent gaming group and publisher of Official Playstation Magazine, made something rather interesting to us who remember the Dreamcast launch (and are happy they didn't get one).  http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3145154&did=1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This actually had me cracking up. Poor 360. It seems so similar, I want it to fail. Just so crazy-ass bald guys stop supporting gaming systems. 6. It is generally not in your best interest to buy the 360 now. Okay, even Mike agrees with this on me, and he loves his XBOX like I love my anime. Many people who purchased the original XBOX remember the horrific Panasonic/Thompson DVD drive scandal. Essentially, Microsoft went cheap and ended up screwing over hundreds of gamers, giving them the notorious bad reading drives that scratched the discs. This was fixed... but Later. This is simple, common sense. Every console maker in the history of consoledom has had some problems with first launch consoles, especially ever since the Playstation One overheating. No matter how much you want to purchase and play the XBOX 360, wait. Trust me. None of the games right now, at least in my opinion, are worth the big rush anyway. There are evidently going to be issues with the system, be them cosmetic, technical, or otherwise. If anything else, wait until the damn price goes down. $450 for a console? HELL no. Wait it out.
