Madden has some pretty awesome graphics, but they took out so much of the game it's frustrating. The actual gameplay is solid.

The PS3 is in some trouble IMHO. It may not even hit the shelves this year. By the time it comes out, the 360 will be on it's 2nd or 3rd wave of games and will likely have a couple of system sellers.

I can say I'm happy with the XBox 360 to this point, though as I said earlier, I really would like the next grouping of games to come out.

Don't forget that the PS3 is including Blu-Ray, so it probably will be far, far more expensive than the XBox360 at the time of launch.

NCAA 2k6 is coming next week?

Basketball?

PGR3 and Madden are stunning. NBA2k6 has some excellent gameplay, but I would disagree that it's stunning. I agree that the next wave of games needs to come out. I wanted Dead Rising, but now it's pushed back from the end of this month until early May.

I agree with everything in here, except I haven't played PGR3. NBA 2k6 is reachig legendary status for me as well.

Dola -

I just read an interview on OS about College Hoops on the 360 and it sounds like they have fine tuned the gameplay and fixed multiple bugs (such as all recruits being too tall 4 or 5 years into the dynasty.)

I'm now looking forward to this game again.

do you know how much the game will go for?

the xbox 360 is so hard to find here. always sold out in L.A.

Eaglesfan27 · 01-18-2006, 08:21 PM

I have no idea how much it will cost.

JB, try the program on the website that I posted a few messages work. It really does let you know ASAP when one becomes available in your area.

Terps · 01-19-2006, 02:31 AM

I'm guessing it would be $59.99 for the 360, just like all the games not published by Microsoft.

You can preorder ES IV: Oblivion at outpost.com for $49.99. At least, this was true as of early Wednesday afternoon.

Bingo. And I have checked two websites that have said the date is still 1/23/06, including a gamestop in store release list that stated 1/23/06 as of the 11th of this month. I know Top Spin 2 was delayed until April, and I had read that NCAA was being pushed till next month. I hope it makes next week, but if it doesn't, I'm sure I'll still pick it up. Fight Night looks fucking awesome, too bad I can't get into boxing. I played the demo and got my ass kicked. Bad.

dervack · 01-19-2006, 03:22 AM

Dola,

Looks like College Hoops has been pushed until 2/21. Damn.

Raiders Army · 01-19-2006, 05:54 AM

I've never played the College Basketball games, but I've played College Football (NCAA every year) and I hate playing with QB#17 or PG#5. I usually download the real name rosters with my Xbox Action Replay. Have you guys heard that someone is going to do rosters, and if so how are you going to get them for the 360?

Terps · 01-19-2006, 06:15 AM

Hopefully someone can come up with a 3rd party device like Action Replay, if not it looks like we'll have to swap memory cards through the mail.

Raiders Army · 01-19-2006, 08:08 AM

Wouldn't it be even easier with the 360 to trade files over the internet? As long as you have a device that can transfer things over USB, couldn't it be possible to save your roster to a flash drive, upload it on your computer, and then let people download your roster and either put it on a flash drive or burn it to a CD?

ISiddiqui · 01-19-2006, 08:16 AM

With USB hookups, I'd imagine it wouldn't be so difficult to do that. Then again, I'm not sure if the 360 recognizes them as hard drives (it SHOULD, but that doesn't mean it does).

Terps · 01-19-2006, 08:29 AM

USB flash drives don't work.

stevew · 01-19-2006, 08:39 AM

If you can move music files onto your xbox, can you move files off of your xbox? Or only mp3 type files. Seems like it would possibly be a workable solution?

Terps · 01-19-2006, 08:45 AM

I don't think there's a way to move the files off of the 360, unless it's moving a save file to a memory card from the hard drive or vice versa.

Microsoft is really against any type of Action Replay devices.

Raiders Army · 01-19-2006, 09:09 AM

Those bastards.

That program posted earlier letting you know when an xbox is availible works...one of the workers didn't even know about it when I got there, but they had 4 more in stock, selling 8 of them already in 30 minutes.
