360 Bound
Qwikstreet \| 8:47 PM on 11.01.2008	16 comments

Its time to make the plunge into another next-gen console. Right now I have a Wii and about 15 games that I love playing by myself or with my kids. We don't play my PS2 as much except to try and finish up GTA:SA and KH2. I would like to finish DGVIII but I have a long way to go. Anyway, I've been pining over a 360 for quite some time. Watching my friends tool around their dashboard, the achievements, online ranking, games, NXE with Netflix. It is time to be a wii-60 house. I have been scrapping together a few bucks here and there and just earned a $300 gift card at work. So, its time to put a big XMAS gift under the tree for me. Oh, yea and for the other 3 people that live here.

I already bought a few games off of Craigslist and used game sales. Plus I have a few trades in the works.

Now its time to find a good bundle out there like the Sam's Club Pro 360 with Guitar Hero 3. I'm sure others will follow with some deals. Time to watch CAG for some more good deals.

$300 gift card sounds totally rad. Congrats mon.. It'd be interesting to know what games you got/your haul from Craigslist.. Anyhoo,

Welcome to Destructoid!

Also, this kinda remids me of, anyone know whatever happened to Dephect??

Qraze

dephect defected?no shit. also welcome and enjoy the next gen though i would try to persuade you into the ps3 you have made your choice and i hope you enjoy fable2. (because i am a man of hope)

maxbraff

Next gen? Isn't it a little late in the game to refer to the current generation of consoles as next gen? Not to be a prick, but I noticed a lot of people do use next gen still. Here's a statement to clarify this little lesson.

There is currently nothing "next gen" about the consoles out now.

Qraze

whoops. sorry, i mean "current gen". but wouldn't someone who hasn't made the leap consider it next gen? or how about the few places that don't have current gen systems in the world (china)?

maxbraff

No places or people who don't have current generation consoles aren't last generation. Just what they own. If I only owned a Playstation 2 still I would be last generation, and I would be making the leap to current generation.

Qraze

i think its just a matter of opinions at this point. his current ps2 is last gen to us but may still be current to him is what i'm trying to convey. what's qwikstreet's opinion on the matter though? i do understand what you're saying though as well but when making a change you move to the "next" up,then making it "current" to the person. its just a opinion

maxbraff

Ah ha, that maybe true, but you would have to live in a cave to not know that the PS2 is last gen. From then on, its ignorance. Thats like me saying 1 is 2. Just because I got mixed up in pre-school. It would be a matter of opinion. Perhaps I like to think that 1 is 2. I will only think 1 is 1 when I move to the next step of correcting myself.....haha....I dont give a shit...

BahamutZero

do it.

Qraze

just opinions. lol. good little brain teaser though, it can go both ways. but when is something considered old school now? like is the n64 old school now or when does the time elapse enough to consider something old school? when they quit selling them at wal-mart? i really don't know because just the other day i saw a ps1 multi tap still at k-mart and for $15!

BahamutZero

qrazer you are a fucking idiot. nobody fucking cares.

maxbraff

something is old school once everyone forgets about it. then brings it back up.

Qraze

obviously you do zero. and who asked for your 2 cents anyway? you are the atomic bomb.

the GAMEGOBLIN

Hellacious argument guys

Qwikstreet

My opinion on the next gen is neither company has its next console out there. Out there meaning reports, pictures, rumor mill, showcasing at expos etc. Until then those companies still believe they have not fully engrossed their share of the market with either new gamers or gamers who own their previous model.

It's all semantics.

As for my Craiglist score (which I always do well at)
GTA4 $15
Beautiful Katamary $10
Table Tennis $5
Halo, Halo 2, Mercs $10 total

And a group sale for $20
360: Kingdom Under Fire, Forza2/Marvel
Xbox: Kingdom Under Fire, Buffy, 2 LOTR, KotoR, SW Battlefront
PS2: Splinter Cell, Clone Wars, Valkyrie Profile

I already traded Buffy and soon KuF games.
