I see you on Live a lot lately. Oh wait, I have no room to talk. I am also on there playing. Lately, I have become such a video game junkie. I am also waiting for Halo 3, even though I suck at multiplayer on it, but damn the game is fun to play. One game I am really waiting for is BattleField 2: Bad Company. Btw, gamertag is M4R6. You should have already added me.
I wish the PS3 and Wii would come out with more games.

Before that it was Command & Conquer 3 but I'm on the last mission now so I don't feel a pressing need to play.
I'm waiting for MGS4 to come out on PS3, and also being able to afford it. =P
Snap I wish I had some spare scratch laying around to get a 360 what with Forza 2 coming out soon.

MHopkins,
If you plan on buying a 360 hold off until the 360 Elite comes out. Release date on it is the 29th, iirc.
Only reason I have all these systems is b/c my wife also enjoys video games.

I'm playing Forza right now. I'm 98.7% done with career or w/e it's called. Just wanted to get 100% on arcade and career before Forza 2 comes out. I haven't been on xbox live in a long time. My brother hogs the 360 in his room and no games really interest me. They need to release an F1 game for the 360!

When I do end up getting a 360 I will probably just get a core system and do that. Though I may get the Premium for the built in wifi, and just upgrade the internal hard drive.

man! i dunno if i should rebuild my 7 or just sell it as is... i'm trying to sell my mazda3 and get an m3 (or possibly a wrx which i will convert to rwd)...
this is probably the most biased place to ask but should i have it rebuilt??? its a 91 n/a...looks pretty good just the engine is leaking oil into the exhaust. 156k so should i ? worth it?
I bought it to be my toy but that lasted for like a month then smokey mcsmokerton appeared

man, you guys are stupid... just spend a little extra money on a good computer, and play all your XBOX360, and PS3 games on your computer!
well.. the PS3 blue ray DVD drives cost a bit extra... but its well worth it on PC..
XBOX360 games look 2x's better on PC than they do on the xbox.

It will take 3 years or at least 4 times the money to make a PC better than a 360. It has 3 - 3.1 gig prosessors for starters. I have never seen a pc with that much power. I have not seen a PC game that can hold up to the 360 yet and I am a gamer
Give it two or three years and the pc games will start to catch up. But by then the next console will only be a couple of years out. So it will be pointless to ever plan games on PC ever again. Plus you have to play with a mouse and keyboard
