    To clarify, I have like $50 in my wallet so i'm not some rich bastard or anything. Just that the people I know who can't pay their phone or creditcard bills usually overdraw their bank accounts on a regular basis.

    or that i keep my bills paid and i just enjoy eating out alot, or certain luxaries. I just didn't enjoy the Xbox. and apparently, it is next to impossible for most people posting on this board to understand.

    If you needed to sell your Xbox in order to pay a bill, why would you go out and waste money on buying an Iphone? Just save the money and pay next months bill, otherwise you are just going to end up in the same position again.

    Either way, I dislike Consoles, mainly because you can't escape the children on there... they are everwhere :).

    Real life brings repetition and pointlessness too. The only thing real life offers is Great graphics. Its kinda expensive too and way to dependent on the cash shop. Totally pay to win as well. No thank you. Ill stick to my games.

    I never understood what the deal with the iphone was, I have a blackberry pearl and I just use it to text and talk to people. Sure I can surf the web on it but the browser is ultra tiny and slow as hell. I bet there is some cool stuff you can do on the iphone but I never really cared enough to look, phones never really interested me.

    Would never sell my 360 or ps3 though, almost all games are moving towards consoles sadly, and wow is boring as hell. My priest is in full 10man nax gear with around 2200sp and 700 spirit, lost interest in raiding after that. Can't wait for a new and exciting mmo, the future looks grim though.

    I think the first order of business then would be getting rid of your sig.

    I would sell an XBox360.  That thing is a PoS.  Only a dozen games even worth playing on it.  Not worth the price tag.

    And thats why everybody complains about Resident Evil 5 looking like absolute shit on the PS3 compared to the 360 right?

    With that statement, you have just invalidated all of your afore mentioned statements.

    You haven't read the article at all, have you? The article clearly says that the differences are minor.

     

    The PS3 version has framerate issues at time and a bit more aliasing, where as the Xbox360 version lacks some detail in the black levels.

    Are there differences? Sure, but to say one looks like shit is downright laughable.

    Maybe he already has a job and just wanted these extra bucks. If you dont use an expensive thing you own, you better sell it and use this money on other stuff.

    Framerate issues vs Darkened Textures. Are you to tell me this is minor? I'm not sure how you like your games. But I believe being able to run smooth is far superior then minor visuals. Maybe thats just me.  Laughable, indeed. If you paid for a PS3.

    The game runs at a stead framerate most of the time and there are very few noticable framerate drops, have you actually even played the game?

    They're shunning you over doing something you enjoy? Sounds like shitty friends to me. Virtual or not, if you enjoy it then it doesn't matter what they think. Seems your interests have shifted - they can deal with it.

    Would they like you better if you kept the 360? Pathetic friends, if so.

    Really mate, i just sold my ps3 for a xbox cuz i couldnt play anything online, lags like hell and many games actually drop to lousy framerates, i have loads of fun with my new xbox 360 voice chatting with ppl and have yet to see any small bit of lag, perfect.

    To each their own. Have fun on your return to WoW.

    And a word of advice, since you no longer have a console, I VERY highly recommend a copy of Left 4 Dead for the PC. That way you have something familiar to play when you want a break from WoW. The game is very good on the PC and i have had no problems finding groups.

    Well you got other games besides FPS's... and some good ones out/comming soon:

    Street Fighter 4--fighting

    Champions Online--mmorpg

    Ghostbusters-- just awesome

    HAWX-- flight sim

    Final Fantasy 15 (er whatever)--rpg

    Alot of those games would take a killer PC to run on your HDTV @ 1920x1080, prolly a 600-1000 dollar system if not more.  Xbox cost ya 150-200 and you get 1080p no worries.  Also, Netflix-- I know you can watch on your pc but if your house isnt wired or you don't have a home media server this is very nice.  All movies in high def streaming.  I read that Netflix is going to start offering a "premium instant watch" subscription with HBO movies/series and more new releases.

    I think the Xbox 360 is one of my favorite systems of all time, up there with good ol snes, dreamcast and n64.

    Never had a friend that cared if i had an Xbox or what games i play. I never heard something like this happen to anybody else either. Weird friends you have.

    HAWX is an arcade flyer isn't it?
