Xbox 360 better than Xbox?

The Nintendo64 looks terribly limited when you look back on it now, so it's not good for MP any more.

Looks limited? Graphically? Doesn't bother me in the slightest. COD4 doesn't get a look in against Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. Not that I play often.

The frame-rate is terrible on games like PDZ and Goldeneye, have you tried playing them recently?

I don't see how people compare Goldeneye against current games today, I played it a few weeks ago via emulation...god it's so dated how can anybody say they prefer it over CoD4?

and yes, I did have some good multiplayer fun back in the day.

Quite.

Still fun multiplayer, not comparable to how much fun you can have on Crackdown co-op though

In 10 years time, which do you think will be remembered more fondly? Goldeneye or Call of Duty 4?

Yep. Bond is only second to Team Fortress

The framerate is terrible with 4 players, you are quite right.

Trick question. The correct answer is quakeworld

Hahah, sorry I couldn't resist. I'm not a great fan of either. But I can respect them both as entitites.

I have an original Xbox which is still lots of fun with Burnout 3, Forza Motorsport and Soul Calibur 2. I only ever play multi-player with mates (sitting in a room alone playing computer games seams frightfully sad!). Question is, in what way is an Xbox 360 better than the Xbox? I don’t have (nor any plans to get) an HD TV.

Would we have more fun playing an Xbox 360? I’m sceptical.

Your question is akin to asking if sex is better than spanking your monkey

.

The 360 is much much better than the old xbox in all aspects, plus the fact that they are no longer making games for the old xbox is another reason why the 360 is better...not forgetting a lot of past xbox games are now compatible with the 360.

Well I picked up the £210 deal, Premium (175W version) with Assassins Creed, Lost Odyssey and Halo 3. I also added Forza 2 for £9.99 from shop around the corner.

...just need to track down a second wireless controller.

Eh? Assassin's Creed is a completely single player game. Won't you feel immensely sad playing games in a room alone?
