Forums - Microsoft - Thinking Of Buying An XBox

An original box costs, what? 5 dollars now? It is worth getting, the last gen systems are still far superior in terms of game library and gear and services. As long as the big three insist on skimping on the BC components, I guess we'll have to own old consoles as well.

The big three aren't skimping on BC, at least Nintendo isn't.

As far as BC goes:

Wii > 360 > PS3.

The Wii is fully compatible with Gamecube games (except for networked games I believe). Two of the available 360 models have partial compatibility with Xbox games. Some of the PS3 models have great BC, but they're not available anymore (or in the case of Europe, they never were).

get breakdown, fable, KOTOR, jade empire, and circus maximus. it is old, but it is a very underappreciated game.

 

 I love you.  Such an AMAZING game, but we appear to be the only two people on Earth who've played it.

OT:
BREAKDOWN!

Halo

Kotor

Fable

NG:B

Crimson Skies

PGR

Forza

It also had the best versions of most multiplatform games.

 

 The only problem I had with it was that it was kind of bland sometimes (too much gray) and the auto aim fps parts got kind of frusterating. I also hated the level were you have to fight endless waves of T'lan in their base. But, the story was sooooo good, I chose the ending where go you to the alt. dimension with that girl. Heres hoping for a sequel.

Don't forget Phantom Dust and Advent Rising and the funniest game of all time: Armed and Dangerous!. Probably get them for $5 at gamestop.

Phantom Dust, isn't that multiplayer only (basically)?

I keep hoping for a Wii sequel with Wii-mote/Nunchuk fighting and pointer aiming (how AWESOME would that be?).  Unfortunately, I believe you and I have the only two copies sold.

 



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
