T-maxx or X-box

[acdcrulzz]

I dont know if the type of people who do RC cars are all into Video games but i am. (if you are like me please help) I can only get one of these for christsmas and i can not for the life of me pick one. they both have good and bad things about them so i dont know. Could someone shine some light on me and help me with this problem (i know its a good problem but hey)
THANKS

T-Maxx, I like just about all video games but I don't see any good games for the X-Box. It has good graphics but graphics aren't everything.

[acdcrulzz]

halo dead or alive 3 or raw is war pluse in the future they will be coming out with games that could be awsome

[Xtreme RCer]

Yes but none of those are exclusive to the X-Box. Raw is War is but WWF games come out for every system.

[acdcrulzz]

Halo is and it is also one of the best first person shooters well thats what they saw and from what i have seen i belive it to

[Xtreme RCer]

Halo is coming out on the PC also. And I bet you already have that.

[Lucifer]

Get the T-Maxx! You already have a PC, so get some games for that!

[jetfan8178]

Tough choice.Both are exspensive and both will require money to keep tham going(Truck+fuel&maintinence game =games)I would say go tmaxx.More fun for dollar factor.

[acdcrulzz]

yes very true because games are 50$ a pop and nine out of 10 they dont last more than a month pluse i have a very good computer but x-box well i dont know as of now after what yall said i am pushing towards t-maxx i knew this would help
THANKS

X-BOX

[Xtreme RCer]

Instead of X-Box, look into PS2 or Gamecube. Both are gonna be around $200 this month. Gamecube comes out this month and Sony is lowering the price.

[acdcrulzz]

Racinraders why do you say xbox and Xtreme RCer not looking at the money wich one would you get x-box or t-maxx i dont want game cube or psy

[Xtreme RCer]

I would probably get the T-Maxx, without looking at money, both.

[Hammer]

i would go with the t-maxx or a ps2 becasue there are more games out for the ps2 than any other system...you can play both ps1 and ps2 games on it....no to mention dvd's and it's cheaper....dont get an x-box.....there not that great...go with a t-maxx or ps2...trust me

[Rocco]

T-maxx..... x-box is no good ps2 all the way

I can't tell if you were serious or not Rocco, I'm hoping you werent being serious. Don't judge the X-Box and say it's no good when it hasnt come out yet. It has DVD, CD burner, and 10GB hard drive. I was stating I havent SEEN any good games for it, yet. At least exclusive one. The other reason PS2 has more games because the other two systems arent out yet. Let all video games systems rule, at least the Gamecube.

[acdcrulzz]

it does not have a CD-burner

[nitroman3655]

HOW can you people say that the X-box is junk. You don't even have one. So you can't judge it quite yet. In PC gamer, the X-box is twice the game system than the PS2. Also, the X-box has DVD on it. So you can't judge the X-box.

[acdcrulzz]

nitro man wich one would you get T-maxx or X-box ?????????

[blaster240]

get the tmaxx

[~!MaXX!~]

PS2 has a dvd player as well

[acdcrulzz]

yea x-bow has 2x the power pluse a hard drive and thet lets them make bigger games with out any load times wich means game world can be huge

[nitroboy543]

i would get a tmaxx( i have ps2 NA NA na na na naaaaa)

[-~Nitro~-]

can the x-box go 35 and jump ramps? didnt think so...you know my answer...but i was born with 20% nitro in my blood

[Xtreme RCer]

nitroman3655, I hope you weren't talking about me.

I'm nuetral in this "next generation console wars", but I'm more towards Gamecube. Also, all games will have some load time, it may be short but there will be a load time. Games for the Gamecube had virutally no load time, less then a second, but they made a blank screen so gamers wouldnt get confused. And the X-Box is only twice the PS2 in processing power not nescarily the graphics. You guys should check out the screens for Star Wars Rogue Squadron 2: Rouge Leader. These are probably the BEST graphics for ANY system EVER.

YYYEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH -~Nitro~-

If you get the gamecube, people outside your house while your using it aren't gonna be like "wow sweet! hes gotta gamecube!!!"


The T-maxx on the other hand, there's spectators everytime I take it out ranging from ages 2 to 65.

[acdcrulzz]

well i think i am going to get the t-maxx

[nitroman3655]

I was talkin to everyone who was sayin the X-box is junk. Only a selected few have played an X-box so you, or anyone else can NOT judge the X-box. Same thing goes for the Game Cube. You can't suggest the Game Cube if you havn't even played the thing. I have a maxx already with a Megatech.16 on it. I do enjoy it more than any video game, except for my Duratrax Real Race!

Oh yea, too bad that I practically have no neighboors and live in the middle of nowhere.

[Brian]

i think i would have to take the x-box over the tmaxx, cause i enjoy vidio games better than r/cs anyway

[acdcrulzz]

haha but yet you have 366 post on this borad you must like rc cars alot

[SkateBmx707]

hey, hes asking us what to buy, not what u guys think on the consoles. answer his question if not start ur own thread.

i would say definitly got for the T. its just a totally different thing and a lot more fun. Plus, a tmaxx is much more interactive, u get to customize it and have a whole different kind of fun. not to mention that games stress out ur eyes go with the t

[acdcrulzz]

very good i wanted to say what you said but i thought it would be rude if i said it thanks for the reply i think i am going with the T-maxx cant wait till santa brings me one

If it doesnt have a CD burner then how does it burn the CDs to the hard drive so you can listen to the songs while playing a game instead of the songs that are already on the game?

[Brit-T-Maxx]

x-box is a 700 mhz pc components in a nice little box, how long is it going to be before there is a service pack available to sort out the bugs in the system and create even more. There again if it is done right then the components SHOULD be upgradable, hmmm 2.0 ghz processor, 2 gb ram 128 mb video card, now that would be worth looking at, until then, GET THE T-MAXX...

[Racinraders]

Heck the Atari pong is the best.

[T-Maxx_100]

T-Maxx XBox Sucks They just what you to be it because of the grapthas and they are trying to make it better the PS2 GET T-Maxx.

[Xtreme RCer]

Obviously they are trying to make it better then the PS2.

[acdcrulzz]

Xtreme RCer you can not make copies with the x-box of cds when you talk about the hard drive it just loads the cd on it you dont have to burn it on. Brit-T-Maxx they will not have to up gread it because it is not a computer if all it does is run games then they are set to run with howpowerful the x-box and 733mh is alot if all it does is run games and nothing else. computers need more power because they run lots of programes at the same time

[SteveH]

It doesn't have a cd burner. That is misleading. You can rip songs to the hard drive...so they say. Like, who cares??
It only has a 10 gig hard drive. I am not going to waste room for tunes.
