What the hell? Why is there a huge ****ing cinder block in my Xbox360 box? And there's like a wire or something sticking out of it...? The sh*t, I'm suppose to plug this giant bastard into the wall?! ...And it's getting hot? Like ****ing BOILIING hot?! Don't cinder blocks normally stay cool?


BAH, this thing is going back to the office. I must've got some weird ass "Home Construction Bundle". God damn Microsoft.

I wouldn't count PDZ as an ice breaker for Xbox 360 owners. I'm ACTUALLY thinking of getting this....
GameSpot gave it a 9.0, Team Xbox gave it an 8.8, and Talk Xbox gave it a 9.7.

Well I think it's garbage from what i've seen... (meaning) ... from the screenshots/commercials and overall graphical element...

Not necessarily what others may think or even those sites you mentioned.

All I know is there are so much better games out there for Xbox 360... PGR3 also looked sick.

Or actually telling your boss about taking a day off to buy the console would be pretty fun too..........

I've done that. The midnight launch of the gamecube. I needed the following day off due to tiredness.

I think Peter Jackson's King Kong game looks pretty cool.

Pretty sure you're referring to the Call of Duty 2 demo. I thought the polygon and particle work was really good but man the textures are just aweful. I saw better on the N64, and we all know how blurred the N64's textures were.

I wouldn't be surprised if PDZ didn't look that much like a next gen title, as it was originally intended to be on the Xbox.

Call of Duty 2 looks incredible, though. Madden looks a million times better also. Finally EA put some effort into the graphical end of their football franchise.

I tried to check the 360 out today but i was kind of in a hurry and some old guy was playing it. Of course, they didn't have any in stock.

How loud is the console compared to the original Xbox? I've heard that it's a noisy bugger. It may depend on where the console was manufactured and which brand of fan is in your particular console.
