I use to just hate Microsoft because I owned a Gamecube and spent money on it, But when you actually own an Xbox, then it all changes. It is probally, no it is the greatest system I have out of the three.

Can't wait for the 360 big grin

dAngEr_Is_gO!
Agreed. I was down on the Xbox because it was Microsoft, but then my mate went a bought one and after some serious exposure to it I was hooked. I haven't been that impressed with a console since I bought a Dreamcast (RIP)

Nactous
Whats the launch date?

MarioX
for?

Tru_Slice
Xbox 360 comes out Nov. holiday season

Tru_Slice
I would be rather happy to see Microsoft delay the thing and work on it some more. Much better than mouthing off to Sony about how great their system is and how the games are better.

Yeah, they are in a rush, aren't they?

Nactous
The 22nd of Nov. I believe.

"holy water? Then where did my order of acid go?" (family guy)

Ken Kenobi
Dude, I was watching that episode of Family Guy just this morning. laughing out loud

But yeah, I was collecting the Pepsi/Mountain Dew/Sierra Mist caps, entered them, and I actually won. I nearly had a heart attack when I found out.

To check my claim please go to the site, check the Winners Board for September 22nd at 1:40 PM, it should say next to that "Overton, NV" where I live.

The thing that erks me about this contest is that they don't say whether or not it will be the full package or just the Core system. I'm hoping for the former. Either way I am getting XBox Live because I have the money to spare on it.

For more confirmation on my win...

Tru_Slice
I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

I'm going to that site and entering now!

Tru_Slice
CRAP! Its closed!

Damn spammers!

Ken Kenobi
What do you mean it's closed?

First off this is a US only promotion, it ends on Oct. 31st.

Tru_Slice
I live in the U.S man.

They temporarily closed it due to spammers who were creating multiple e-mail adresses on Yahoo! in order to win. Pespsi must've updated their site to see that that doesn't happen anymore.

On that note, now Yahoo! mail isn't working...

StyleXP, it's downloadable software with a 15 day trial period. I installed it, then got a keygen. Then go to various websites for Windows XP Themes and Styles. Then install, run the program and voila! I have various other skins to suit my moods.

StyleXP Free Trial is here.
ThemeXP This is a great site to download Visual Styles to use.
SeriALL is where I got the key to unlock the software.

This one? Yes! It came with 5 Styles, Red, Orange, Green, Blue and Deviant (deviant is a weird green tinted one, while the others only have colors in the bar.)

I'll show you some of my skins.

Blade - Comes with StyleXP

Wisp - Comes with StyleXP

There's some more that came with StyleXP, but they are rather bland.

Most of the actual Themes change your desktop icons to a theme dependant one as well. I also use some other program to remove unwanted desktop items, that's why I only have my Trash icon on the desktop. The program also allows you to rename Recycle Bin.


Of course with all of these styles you can change the desktop background to whatever you want.

Ken Kenobi
Had to split up the images, there were too many in that post. Stupid KMC limits...

Here's more.

Sentinel Blue - Forgot where I found this. This is only a visual style, not a full theme, so I have to manually change the background to the one it came with.

Sentinel Red - Same as above.

How ya doin Nactous?

SlimYout
I looked for a few places to post this question, and this is some what on topic. Another member of this board said that Microsoft has the most major developers working with them. Is that statement true or false?

Draco69
I wouldn't buy yet. For god's sake people, be patient. It's simply too expensive right now.

Tru_Slice
It is true.

It is written in the Oct. 05 EGM magazine.

I don't have the magazine on hand, but try their site, and it'll say something like that.

Not necessarily. I don't think the 360 is gonna win too many PS3 fans over when everyone knows that the PS3 will be out 4 months later. Their marketing stratedgy is what it is. Xbox will sell to their gamers, and the PS3 will sell to theirs. I don't see where Microsoft thinks they're gonna be getting a huge advantage whatsoever. This is only my opinion of course.

This is only my opinion of course. i was a full playstation fan, they won me over roll eyes (sarcastic) i was impressed with playstation, but if their going to sell all their games to xbox, then i might as well get a 360 because sony will sell more of their games to that, and ill get the best ps3 games still yes

I am a devote PS fan, only played XBox a couple of times.

Microsoft however have been impressive with the 360. All we get from Sony are prerenders and empty promises at this point. The 360 is good to go. I'll be getting both systems (one for free stick out tongue) but Microsoft has already won me over.
