What was your favorite console of all time? Mine would have to be the SNES. So many great games were realeased for it plus thats what i grew up playing. Gotta love the Donkey Kong Country series and Final Fantasy 2 and 3. those were the days....

Said this in another thread along the same line. Pengo, my all time favorite arcade and later on Atri 5200 of which I still have a working copy

My favourite console is the Xbox 360!!! It RULEZ!

this is not released yet...

so my vote is for xbox

Have you seen the pre-launch bundle prices of the 360????

Gamestop has the whole enchilada, they call it the XBox 360 Omega package for...$1999.69!

Insane. We can trade our existing XBox in for $60 and 4 games for $50 plus our Gamestop card nets us another 10% or $110 towards the Premium box which will list for $400. THat gets us a controller and no 360 games. Another $110 to add a second wireless controller and a game. Please tell me that the original XBox games are going to work on this thing...

the snes had some great games...but im putting my vote in for the NES...

What's the word for XBox games on the 360? Will they all play?

only a small amount of xbox games will be able to play on the 360...

stolen from ign....

"The problem isn't just a matter of picking and choosing from any old game. Since the Xbox 360 and Xbox aren't based on the same chipsets, nor are they using chipsets made by the same companies, making all of the Xbox games compatible with the Xbox 360 is tough. Many engineers have said it's actually impossible. The Xbox 360 was created with an IBM PowerPC based CPU with 3 symmetrical cores running at 3.2 GHz each. It's also using a custom ATI Graphics processor for the GPU.

To make a long story short, these custom chips are nothing like the nVIDIA-based GPU and Intel-based CPU on Xbox. One of the main complications is that Microsoft would have to pay a small sum, a percentage of every Xbox 360 sold, to nVIDIA, if it were to include that chip in its new system. That's what Sony did with PlayStation 2; it simply put the necessary PlayStation 1 chips in the PS2, so nearly 99% of the PS one games were compatible. Some news reports claim Microsoft is indeed paying a small fee to emulate the nVIDEA chip, but less than it would if the chip were in the Xbox 360.

Microsoft isn't placing any Xbox chips in Xbox 360. Instead, it's working to emulate Xbox games on Xbox 360. I'm neither an engineer nor a programmer, so I won't try to precisely explain in technical terms why it's tough to make Xbox games compatible with the X360. But there are certain complications in making such a transition. The complications of making Xbox games compatible with Xbox 360 games are tied into how the chips process information, and how to translate that information on a standard basis from the old games to the new system."

so, your screwed really...

im gonna get me a N5 Nintendo Revolution...backwards compatibility all the way back to the NES...

XBox 360 official launch date revealed as November 22.

the NES is probably my fave. i really loved my genesis, too.

Commadore 64! playing Karate, or like ....thats the only game i remember i was young at the time (5 maby?) ok that wasn't really my favorite system of all time though. It would be the N64 with goldeneye! had some amazing fun with that, had a little goldeneye torny last month actually.

My friend just won that pepsi contest that was going on. His prize, the Xbox 360 will get to his door november 5th. Luckyyyy

I have to say the orginal Playstation. Twisted Metal were the best games of all time!!!

Buyt my xbox works fine too



Gen,

yeah i also think that the original ps was one of the coolest systems out there... a lot of good games too...
