puke box
Because it was basically a PC, with a DC controller down to the VMU Slots and abandoned immediately after the next console came out.
I bought the 360 for the backward computability
Why since you never owned a X-Box ?
Why else? I thought I'd eventually get to play HH:R, Sonic Heroes, CT3, JSRF and so on.
Yo missed on classic and 4 year support is hardly dumping a system.
Compared to PS2's 10 year support?
Did our DC's come with 2 joypads, VGA cable or a 'FREAKING' Scart or S-Video cable , did it come with a Rumble pack too ?. OMG we were all so screwed .
DC didn't come in an elite edition and I bought it for less than 150$ with Sonic Adventure, Web Browser 2.0, and Generator Pack in.
By the way vibrators were really cheap.
The bundle contains:
Xbox 360 Elite Console with Exclusive Red Finish
Matching red wireless controller
120GB hard drive
Resident Evil 5
Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
Exclusive Resident Evil Premium Theme
Xbox 360 black wired headset
HDTV-ready component HD AV, HDMI and Ethernet cables
You were ripped off by $100 and Kept the HDMI cable & SF HD . BOY did they see you coming
It was actually my sister, I was in Pakistan at the time and I was lucky to get the thing as it was a preorder item only and it has better resale value than a normal 360, so my investment wasn't that bad.
I bought it off Best Buy not the store you'd expect to con customers. It is weird cause my 360 was sealed, I ripped off myself and the only thing missing was the HDMI cable it had normal cables only.
I did the math you have to pay significantly 30$ tax so it is 430$ retail price. That additional warranty was legit as well.
Still no where near enough value for money!
You are right though I should've been a more intelligent buyer, shouldn't have gotten impulsive and bought an elite. But the thing is I've always bought a console for Resident Evil, so I couldn't pass the opportunity to buy an actual RE system.
In hindsight the unsatisfactory conclusion to the series, also added to my disdain for 360.
Only SOJ offically included the 6 button pad. SOA and SOE did not.
Then they were dicks, but we all know that 2 years into the Genesis SEGA was wearing their own ass like a hat. Fortunately Pakistan didn't suffer to bad at the hands of SEGA's ignorance, shop keepers still regularly stock brand new Genesis's (made under license in Taiwan with built in games - but no TecToy fancy touches) but very very few shop keepers stocked more than a handful of the add ons as they didn't sell well, so once they sold out they never ordered more.
An Average Pakistani gamer thinks the SEGA CD and Saturn are one in the same.
I loved buying Rumble Packs, Jump Pak, Puru Puru, Vibration Pack
And yet don't like buying a battery pack :roll:
As I told you I bought 2 Red controllers with rechargeable batteries.
I have a dc collection and having all color rumble packs and vmu is important to any collectors.
SEGA were still producing DC after it brought out the BB adaptor, yet never included them and also remember both SOJ and SOE only included the 33K modem.
With a quote:
The Dreamcast Broadband Adapter (often abbreviated to BBA) is an accessory that was released for the Dreamcast. The console originally came equipped with a 56 or 33.6K modem for use with dial-up Internet access but the release of the broadband adapter on January 10, 2001 allowed the Dreamcast to utilize broadband Internet access. The device can be used for web browsing, gaming and all of the other functions accessible using dial-up access. Shortly after its release, the adapter also became one of the items used to copy Dreamcast GD-ROMs, much faster than was previously possible.Dreamcast had been out of production long before 2001, they did produce limited edition R7 units though... It was a 60$ Peripheral for a Dreamcast that was selling for 75 - 100$. Packing it in would be insane. Where as having it in an Elite 360 in 2009 would've been courteous.
And if you buy a Slim 360 MS would be very good to you with the packs they're offering . It really is no different , same for SONY
The 360 is a disappointment to me, if you want to know more in detail pm me your ID and we can do it over MSN.
