I've been thinking about buying a 360 for the longest. I was torn between three choices (wasn't even considering a Core). I go with the Halo edition so I don't have to worry about a Play & Charge thingy. And yes, I like the puke coloring. I've been flamed quite a few times for liking the nauseating color scheme and fancy designy stuff on the sides. Well, I like it. So there. My Halos, let me show you them:
The box is pretty cool. Puke controller and headset don't look too bad. Just to let you know, the colors don't match perfectly between the two.
Obvious emo angles:
Here's what the exclusive Halo dashboard theme looks like:
Wii60 FTW.
I'm still pissed at the fact that Microsoft didn't bother to pack in Halo 3 with this bundle. It's obvious that they were more concerned with making everyone give them more moneys. I do like the console inside and out. New heatsink, possibly the new chipset - can't go wrong with that. Gamer pics and theme, meh, not all that. The theme even makes half the buttons (especially the keyboard) in the menus almost unreadable.
Mr. Destructoid is the shiznit in Bomberman Live (go download now or die the slowest and most painful death possible). Teh Halos is very fun, funnest when Workman is eating my bullets. XBLA is the hotness, but wish I was rich and buy almost every goddam game in the library. PC sync wins many Halos (even connected my iPod with no problems, rocked Anamanaguchi while playing Geometry Wars). And Yaris,
can't forget the Yaris.
Bill Gates, you won this Applehead over many times with your 360s. Ok, time to break 1000 gamer points.
I'll see you on Live.
represent with the standard definition!
Eeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
OOOSNAP
Eh, looks different than all the promotional pics, but I still don't like it. I'll be getting either a Premium or Elite when those holiday bundles (with hopefully the new chips) hit.
I like the Master Puke and was really close to buying one, but I needed an xbox for Bioshock and this wasn't out yet. The only drawback is the 20GB hard drive, and I don't ever see myself using more than that anyway.
the colour looks a lot more solid than it did in other photos i've seen, overall not bad.
also, im adding you on Live.
I like the color, i don't know why people keep bashing on it. it's olive dab green. military color. tho i would of loved it more if it was cortana blue. >_>
YES! JOO ARE PARTS OF TEH DARKSIDES NOW!
NOW YOU'RE READY 2 FRIDAY.
So to recap, you bought that 360 and got:
1. a theme that isn't usable
2. ugly color is ugly
3. controller that doesn't quite match the aforementioned color
4. play & charge setup
5. new heatsink & chipset (maybe)
Isn't the last one supposed to be on premium's anyhow? Aside from the play & charge ($14 on amazon) I don't see what the extra $50 went towards.
...
Maybe I'm just mad that no one has adequately answered my question on the heatsink and chipset topic :(
Master Puke???
Welcome to the club Phist. I'll add you tonight. It would be an incredible honor to play against you in Bomberman. That has to be surreal playing something you helped design.
That would be epic as hell if there was a play as Mr. Destructoid with 4+ people as him and get an achievement.
So, welcome to the 360. Chips and drink over there and...yeah. This is it. Not a perfect ship but she runs along faster than any other heap right now.
Any questions, feel free to ask someone on your friends list. Oh, bathroom's three doors down.
Alright, alright.
*wretch*
can i has colours?
BABY POO?
Aww you beat me to it.
I bought one myself 2 days ago and was just about to post about it.
The colours are ok, not the best though.
All in all it looks nice on my desk.
That Xbox 360 really does look horrible, man.
Jeez, even that Wii on the right looks better. SDTV ftw though, the only TRUE way to play BioShock ;)
I got one, too. I really like the fine detail and copper.
Also, I hate the look of the original box, so that may be skewing my opinion :P
that does look better than it did in promo pics.
awesome. hit me up - smokingrobot
GT : Snaileb
PS. - Someone puked on your XBOX meng.
Very emo angles... but I shall forgive thee
shit dude, srry i barfed all over your exbox
Officially ending your social life, eh...? Great reason to do it, though. I commend you and your less-than-offensively-coloured EquisBox!
Shit for an extra 50 bucks, Microsoft could've painted all of the crappy headset the same color, and make it look a tad less tacky. Maybe I'm jsut jealous that i don't own a 360. good thing i have a gaming PC
oh wows that is a nice consoles. my flavr is poors cus i pays da lektricity bills every munf. i wishes i had the monies for speshal edishun 360s.. instead of conn eds.
*cries*
