The 360 is definitely lacking. It looks and feels like an XBox 2.2. And whoever thought that high res everything with a lower polygon rate and a low texture count would be a good thing? All the launch games look like super high res current generation except for some things here and there and of course gears of war. Which tells me the 360 will look better with age. But for now and probably the next 6 months to a year the 360 is going to look karpy. Developers will find ways to get around that whole 'use all resources to display everything at uber res' issue. Not to mention the stupid in order processor that no one knows how to code for.
But none of that matters when it comes to Perfect Dark. You could tell me it looks like the N64 game, choppy frames and all, and i'd still want it just as bad. I'm just trying to find a realistic way to sell myself the idea of paying $500/600 for it. Thankfully, Game Rush rents systems :D
I know that I would spend 600 bucks on a system that gave me Nintendo first/second party stuff and nothing else; everything from 1080 to Zelda and all points inbetween. But I dunno if i'd spend that for Rare stuff and nothing else. The 360 will probably see 5 Rare games in its life - is the entry fee worth it? What if they're all krap except PDZ? ...I play PD everyday... I'll probably play that game for the rest of my life. Assuming the sequel is just as good, 500/600 bucks is an appropriate price for something that will give me years of enjoyment, maybe a lifetime of enjoyment.
fucking $50 controllers... if I want 4 controllers i'm already paying $150 more above the console price.
