oh my...
now, seriously, is it worth getting x box now then?
I initially wanted to get Wii, instead of X box...
then my friend who had both, brought both Wii and X box for me to test...
Wii was alright for first 1 hour... then my arms began to ache...not to mention the games were just party games...
Tried the Xbox then - GOW...
And i just got hooked straight into it...the control feels soooo easy to me (got PS2 already ;P) and graphics were way better...
So started to wan an X box...especially with all the good action games..
But then this 3rod problem started surfacing, and the more i read about it, the more apprehensive i became, as nearly everyone seem to experience it, especially in the US...even here.
Thing is, does the guarantee/warranty cover Malaysia too, especially for 3rod?
otherwise, it's kinda lame to spend RM1700 on a machine just to see it kaput within a year...This is especially hard for me, as my income is low, and hard to get by te chance of getting one...
i know exactly how u feel. now, seriously, is it worth getting x box now then?

but i gave in at last. i was dead set on getting the Elite ever since reading bout 3ROD (do a search by member name (haplo) and you'll c)
but then i read that the 65nm was coming this Dec n i was like screw the Elite!
(check out my post here http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/477559/+20)
let's get a re-designed 360 that would have solved the 3ROD prob right? But Dec is for the US version! Djinn said that by the time the Asian version comes here it'll be June, 2008. His prediction does make sense becoz the Elite which was launched in April will only now launch in Japan, in October. And guess wat, we have to wait again for the Asian version (apparently Japan is so big and almighty it's a region unto itself!) My guess is that it'll be Feb 08?[
So the 65nm is suppose to be released in the US, in Sep (to coincide with Halo 3's release?
) but a safer bet would be Dec, holiday season for maximum effect.so plus 6 months to that, looks like we wont even get the Asian version in June. The japs have to get theirs first. So Dec 08?
i mean seriously, if i have to wait til that long wats the f-ing point?!
So last Sat, i went up to Sungei Wang Plaza, found the only shop there selling ORIGINAL ONLY called Games Hypermart, n got myself the Bundled Premium and Gears of War and i have been having the time of my life ever since!!!
I just hope that mine is from the 70% group. if not so wat? get it fixed. Gears of War is too good not to be played. And have u checked out Bioshock and Assassin's Creed preview yet? i have
N let's not forget Halo 3. And since the 360 can play wmvs, i've been watching 720p movies encoded from bluray rips on my plasma.
dvd's resolution is 720×480 and 720p = 1280x720 = again
Where else can u find a 720p wmv player?
Life is short, live it?
