Mac Gamers That Own A 360? :O

KimCheeWarrior · Oct 16, 2008, 11:37 PM

I have been searching high and wide for other Mac owners that also own a 360 but until now have not been so lucky. I got so sick of hearing problems PC owners had with their 360 and I never had anyone to lend an ear to my Mac/360 problems until now, joy!

Speaking of problems, about that widely known DNS error associated with routers, after reading a few posts, I'm assuming that the problem isn't Mac related (seeing as how it's a Microsoft product).

brendanryder · Oct 17, 2008, 02:00 AM

i just bought a 360 a week ago and i love it. havent had any router problems or anything.
i think its a solid product. i just think M$ made a bad decision about shipping off RROD consoles that they knew about. but there replacement plan is pretty good so i guess that kinda makes up for it

budkid · Oct 17, 2008, 02:16 AM

I have a 360! BUDKID - add me

richard.mac · Oct 17, 2008, 02:27 AM

check out the Post your setups thread theres lots of Macs users that own a 360. its a great video game system we dont knock it because its made by Microsoft.

7on · Oct 17, 2008, 09:20 AM

You can get them through Dell right now for $169

I'm finding it real hard to resist now (and I only resist because of other things I need to save for) $169 would buy about a third of a Wacom Intuos

360 and PS3. Love them both.

Me too. But 360 is my clear favourite.

Mike Teezie · Oct 22, 2008, 04:40 PM

I've got a 360 and a PS3.

360 name - Dr Doomsicle

PS3 name - Doomrod

I chose those names because I thought they showed a certain sense of maturity.

zap2 · Oct 22, 2008, 06:16 PM

I go where the games are....Window is a poor product IMO, while the Xbox 360 is great fun.

I think MS really nailed the software/hardware end to end solution with Xbox 360...Windows, not so much.

gkarris · Oct 23, 2008, 09:30 AM

360 - FLYBOY
PS3 - gkflyboy

360 - awesome, fun, now at a lower price!
PS3 - great too!

tjcampbell · Oct 25, 2008, 05:49 AM

I have a 360, PS3 and a Wii.

I use the 360 for games, the PS3 for BluRay and steaming vids and the Wii for when I have a couple friends over.

I've yet to game on the PS3 but I think my next purchase will be COD 5 to give it a shot.

Huntn · Oct 27, 2008, 10:28 AM

I've got a Mac, PC, and 360. (Mac is Bootcamp capable).

I'm only seriously playing 1 game on my Mac- WoW. Everything else is PC/Bootcamp or 360. Currently looking forward to L4D.

geerlingguy · Oct 28, 2008, 06:05 PM

Finally splurged and got a 360 for Halo 3 - loved Halo: CE on the Mac, and noticed Halo 2 and 3 only are for Xbox (2 was made for Vista, but I hate Vista... plus it's like $10 for a used Halo 2 copy for Xbox).

Now I have about 15 games - one of the best, imo, is Guitar Hero. Haven't tried Rock Band, because I think I'd get too addicted.

jmb667 · Nov 14, 2008, 03:58 PM

Had a 360 since December 2006; PM me for my gamertag. Maybe I'll see you online sometime!

Currently playing: Fable II and Test Drive Unlimited

There seem to be a number of us here on MR.

Haven't heard of that. I have an ooooold Linksys wireless b router (though the 360 is attached VIA a 50' CAT5e cable

) and no connection problems.

Me too. Got fed up with the troubles of PC gaming

and 360->PC ports that just didn't feel right.

dubs · Dec 20, 2008, 09:12 PM

I've had a 360 since 2006, the same one too! (knock on wood)

Add me if you feel like playing. my gamertag: duberto

Usually play L4D, GoW2, CoD4, and some others which aren't shooters.

si77hay · Jan 2, 2009, 02:45 AM

Had a 360 since it hit the scene and love it.

Apologies if this is common knowledge, but I've only just discovered it.

Connect 360 - NullRiver

Allows you to stream video, images and music to your 360 from your, wait for it......Mac!

Just another reason not to fire up my PC, since I switched a few months ago now

Ok, after playing it for several weeks (off and on) I'm crazy about L4D.
