[TrueCavsFan23]

i heard $399.99.that looks great and if any1 saw the nba video on this...it shows lebron shooting around in the streets...ill get it for u guys.

 

[aggressivestyle]

i'm getting that and the nintendo when it comes out. I had bad experiences with the PS systems even tho i'm a huge RPG fan and i love GTA i just wish the system that carrys them is good thats why i'm just gonna stick to xbox and hopefully they continue to carry it.

 

[King]

I really want to get one when it comes out. I'll probably end up not getting one though because im poor

 

[Bonafide]

wow that's what it's going to look like, that looks sick as hell, I might have to take a close look at this one.

 

[Mac]

I like the surround sound and the custom soundtrack, thats tight.

 

[Glen Infante]

Man, 399 is a rip. Just play PC games for all that mumbo jumbo.

Im content with my Tiger Ninja Gaiden hand held thinger mabobber.

 

[Mandingo]

I might break down and get one. All depends if they come out with a bundle pack or not im not gonna pay 399 then have to turn around and pay 50 more bucks to get a game.

 

[Mac]

I wont get the Xbox, but Im getting the new playstation for sure, regardless of how much it cost.

Or I just might steal it, which ever is easier.

 

[Mandingo]

Specs on the xbox are gonna be hard to beat.

Why the fuck not? Oh, u just a Sony fan boy?

 

[Mac]

Because the games on PS are better. Online is free. ALl the sports games that XBox has, PS has.

PS is coming out at the same time as the Xbox, so this will be a true test as to who is better. Xbox doesnt have a year to make their system better, like they did last time.

 

[Mandingo]

Anybody got any specs on the PS3?

 

[Deadlock]

Thats hot.. Xbox for life.. Playstation is making a huge mistake by letting Microsoft have their system coming out a year ahead of them.
