Hi guys,

I decided to make a poll to see how much support the 360 has from us Malaysians. To be honest...i have been converted. I used to be a hardcore PC gamer, but after playing GOW and seeing what the 360 can do, it is now my primary gaming machine.

I know that maintaining a 360 ain't cheap, with all the frequent ROD and the expansive games, so i'm just curious how popular the 360 is with you all and basically what would you do for it

Just for fun, let me know what y'all think.

Laters

Hell yeah, man!
I'm currently collecting the hard cold moolah to buy it!!!

huh xbox360? never heard it be4 heheheh...ps3 all the way

IMO, maintaining to play pc games are even more expensive like graphic cards, ram, cpu bla bla bla

My sentiments exactly...however with xbox 360 you're sort of stuck with the games you bought after you're finished with them....and they are not cheap

Well you're not actually stuck as you're able to enjoy the benefits of playing over Xbox Live. The experience is way different if compare to PC's online gaming

What exactly does the stuck mean?

You buy game on PC you also stuck with the same game what, it's not like i buy half life 2 for pc, later on it will turn into C&C 3

In case you didn't notice, there's a Pasasr Malam thread in this section where you can sell off your games once you're done with them

i need it i want it eveynite

Xbox 360 is the next-gen console mah... and if make comparison... it's way cheaper compare to PC... imagine you can play FNR3 with other players around the world but not in PC...

expensive? ... dude if u talking abt ori games pc and 360 almost the same.....

and yet if u play ahem in pc then almost the same lar with ahem 360...


one thing for sure lar... console gaming u no need to upgrade like pc mah... can last atleast 5~6years according to moore.. the nx gen will be out on 2011 or 2012

Upgrading PC cost more compare to 360... that is why PC cost more... furthermore, if talk about games, the online experience is also different. Of course, 360 can't play DOTA or WoW... but 360 have some fun games to play with... and if maintain, I believe PC needs more maintainance compare to 360...

At the long run... 360 is slightly cheaper... but more durable. If always buy every single game is available, of course expensive lar... I rather buy games that are worth the keep and can play again and again...

lets say like tat... 2 year u need to upgrade ur com once... around RM2000...
Only for CPU, MOBO, Harddisk, RAM n Graphics Card...
but Xbox if rosak you need to replace it with only core unit or newer version...
that would make around 3 yr kua...

in terms of games everything is the same, no difference between platforms...
still cost aroudn RM100-200... depends la...
actually games from any platform can be sell out if you finish it...
jus find those ebay or some other website else...

so one bag for xbox but PC you have to take er... i duno how many things la... hehe...

This poll is in the wrong subforum...obviously you're going to get more "I already have one" if you put it here...

Frequent ROD, if it was frequent, I think all of us would have stopped playing already.

ah liang!! quickly go get your GRAW2!!

LoL I've given up on PC gaming yonks ago, along with my flight-sims days. It's just no longer cost-effective. Especially once you start to earn your own salary.

another good point is u dont have to go through installation process or worrying about your HDD space if u play xbox360 games

can just pop in the dvd and play

Its not exactly comparing apples to apples la...PC and consoles..

You can do much more with a PC other than playing games (even for those who buys gaming rigs), so obviously cost is always higher on that end...

I always believed in separating my machines (not a believer of PDA phones), therefore a simple PC for PC stuff, a console for gaming, a DVD player for movies and etc etc

Separate machines for different tasks... but once you integrated all of them.... voila! Hehe.

Is the streamyx connection stable enough for continuous online gameplay? I've had a look around and there are quite a number of people who have complained about their lag times.

I actually have a m8 that plays WoW, and he had to resort to going to the cybercafe to use lease/corporate lines to play his WoW.



The objective of my post poll was to see how many xbox 360 fans are out here, cause i'm quite physc'd about the level of enthusiasm that everyone has been showing here.

Rock on...

Well most of us have had 3+ hours or more sessions online, so barring any unfortunate incidents (like the Taiwanese earthquake) I would say it's usable with some bits of lag here and there.

Lag is compensatable, meaning if u shoot , u must shoot ahead of the target if necessary.

But being a host definately gives u the uppperhand especially in games like GoW.

I'm not sure about shooting ahead...but then again i suppose you could opt for the 2Mb streamyx line if need be.

I'm just venting.....i have...had a 360 but it died on me 3 months ago and i have yet to send it to singapore to get it fixed (before you say anything, i got mine in the UK and no supplier is willing to help me out here) so i'm getting a m8 to take it down nxt week.

I was just wondering where you guys find the time to game so often.....i work 10-11 hour days every day and its depressing that i can't find the time to game like i used to....... ne one else want to play the 360 sooo bad (ala me) but can't for any reason....please share your grief

But everytime you buy a Microsoft product you also contribute to the Gates of Melinda and Bill foundation for charity for those who made a deal with the African Devil

Lies, all lies i tell thee!

Its a conspiracy to bring me down

360 virus..
