xbox360, could it win the counsil war??

Wow you guys are funny.

I do agree with the fact that it is a neat little add on. I am lazy as is the next american, man, woman, child, or gamer. And when I wanna check my email, myspace, mygamer, and I just got through a 20hr marathon of Zelda I don't want to have to boot up my laptop/Desk top, to do so. I can do it right from my Wii or PS3. I'm only checking.

The one thing that I use the the broswers for is YOUTUBE. it looks nice on my tv and I can stay in bed comfortable and watch crazy stuff.

I really think that if it's there then why not? I may not ever really use it but hey if I have too or wanted to I could. Think of it like built in DVD players. I have a total of 5 in my room (Xbox,360,PS3,PS2 and DVD player). When I get my Season-a-thon's on I don't wanna get up to change the disc, So I pop a disc in each department and go from there.


WOW I am really lazy.
 
Spuds, I think what he was saying was that the Japanese aren't much for having a large tower, monitor (consider the huge beasts of monitors we had to use before flat panels), keyboard, and mouse space taking up so much room. Their living spaces are tiny compared to what we consider normal here in the western world. (Hence why beds fold up into the wall, etc. It's more feasible for them to use a laptop for PC stuff.)

I don't know about the high-speed internet connectability in their homes. As a whole, Japan is usually two steps ahead of everyone when it comes to technology.
 
Find me a article that says they use it from their home the whole time, and not their phones, 'net cafes, public access points, etc.

The Wii browsing would have to have less button clicks and effort than just changing the channel or checking the computer. That's why Microsoft hasn't bothered with that on xbl..... yet. It will happen, but Microsoft as a whole is usually pretty savvy as to what the market is ready for. I do believe it will happen that the entire entertainment of the house will be inter-connected, but that is still in the future. The Wii offers browsing from your gaming console. It's a cute feature, but completely not necessary or demanded by the market.

I think what you are missing out on here is the fact that there are tons of websites that cater to the wii. You can play silly flash games for free. Which is neat. And compared to xbox live the wii online won't have a monthly or yearly fee.
 
1) There are like...2 that are catering to the Wii. None of which offer Wii-exclusive content.

2) Does the Wii even have anything to play?
 
for 1, there are 2 that you know about,

also, since the wii doesn't have any online features yet as far as multiplayer gaming we can't know what will happen.

However, once super smash brothers brawl comes out, it'll blow your retarded halo away
 
So...what sites are there out there SPECIFICALLY made for the Wii? I know about Wiicade.com, but what else is there.

And how about we not talk about SSBB until we actually find out if it'll be a FIGHTING game. Not a silly party game with absolutely no lasting value.
 
And I who would even think about betting against Halo3 completely dominating this year (and probably more) in online console gaming? The Wii has just begun probing online aspects. XBL is going strong, gaining momentum, and constantly improving. There isn't even a foundation for the Wii yet. And as for everything being free, give it time. Once they get a worthy product, they will want to charge for it. And who wouldn't? People pay for WoW because they really like it and it's quality stuff. If you're good enough, you WILL charge money for your product.
 
Don't use such big words, Jonas. He's pretty obviously a fanboy, and therefore not responsive to common sense :p

Unfair initial respawns
No Damnation, Chill Out, Hang'em High, or Prisoner
The Sword. The Sword. The Sword.
Did I say the sword?
The Plasma Pistol auto-hit if you're not behind a wall. (Don't even bother strafing)
What? You thought you were going to have to aim in Halo 2? Not if Bungie has anything to say about.
What is all the money being spent on? - great question.
Bungie's inability to make Halo 2 announcements.
Anticipation for a game that is nothing more than disappointment.
People who defend bungie's display of glitches and flaws in fundametally unfair and subjective ways in the forums.
My ass hits the toilet seat harder than my guy pistol whips.
Being able to jump off anything, regardless of heighth, without a scratch.
Humping in Halo 2 compared to humping in Halo 1.
The lack of an option to turn off atleast one game you dislike.
Bungie's inability to acknowledge it's fans displeasure and suggestions for Halo 2 at its website.

No Fuel Rod Cannon in multi player
Playing for seven levels as an Elite
Leveling up on mutiplayer is meaningless - Glitches anyone?
All of a sudden your level 18 doesn't seem to mean as much anymore - Glitches anyone?
Seeing someone with the sword charge you while you have duel wielding weapons and the overshield and being surrounded by teammates and still realizing that you have no chance of surviving
"Randomly" spawning exactly where you died so that your still surrounded by the same 3 people who [killed] you 6 seconds prior
Not being able to select which type of gametype you want to play
Impossible to snipe people in tanks.
Vehicle boarding is just...gay.

Allies can't ride on sides or scorpion tank

it has made halo 1 (a better game) more obsolete (i hardly see halo 1 games on xbc. - great point.
Bungie is working for the government in an attempt to lower the population by causing teens to kill themsleves after witnessing H2

no skill needed to stick plasma nades
When you have the camo on coagulation and you get sniped in the head by someone on the other side of the course.
The boarding of vehicles is retarded and can hardly ever be pulled of since vehicles have boost (ghost, banshee, and wraith) or can turn on a dime (warthog).
the plasma pistol alone
Getting killed by a noob just cause they shot you first.
Not being able to smack your teammate in the back and kill them (come on you know that was an enjoyable factor in H1 when you were just messing around with some friends)
The battle rifle takes absolutely no skill to use...aim and fire...with the pistol you had to time your shots.....with the br you just put te reticle over the guy no matter what the distance.
They took out all the neat stuff you could do in H1, such as nading weapons.
co-op on legendary
Multi-CTF on Colossus

Getting booted from a game when you did'nt even mean to kill your teamate.
It seems the camera is too zoomed in and the guns are too big, you can barely see whats on the side of the screen.
 
also,

what happens a year from now when the xbox 360 is old news and the developers have just started putting out games that rise to the potential of the ps3s graphic abilities.

Are you guys still gonna be talking about how awesome halo is?
 
Wow. All I saw was a bitch bitching about a game he obviously sucks at.
Most of his complaints were stupid or just plain false.
And My God! How do you blame Bungie for what happens on XBC! Neither Bungie or Microsoft has anything to do with that!

what happens a year from now when the xbox 360 is old news and the developers have just started putting out games that rise to the potential of the ps3s graphic abilities.
Cant. Stop. Laughing.
 
You're right, spud. I could stare at it for a while. Especially making the globe spin, and imagining people being flung from the surface into the cold void of space. It's a lot more enjoyable than Orbitz ads on the web, or muzak on the Weather Channel, depsite the fact such a tool is out of place on a game console.

I've never seen so much senseless anti-Halo 2 rage in one place before. It's like a train wreck... it's so horrible, but I can't stop reading...
 
I'm sorry guys,

I really don't have a problem with Halo, I used to play it on the pc.

I've never played the xbox or xbox 360. I just am so tired of all the hype and have to root for the underdog.

I get a weird kick out of doing this. It's like telling somebody that lord of the rings or star wars sucks and watching them get all upset.

I pulled the halo stuff off the web and thought it would rile you all up, I didn't even know what it meant.
