ya i know the answer seems obvious. i should totally go for the 360. the problem is that i'm at a stage in my life (16) where the value of a dollar is much higher and i have more expenses to think about (a car, college) before i can satisfy my needs for video games. i havent found much luck getting a job either. i was thinking to myself today, should i just forget the current gen all together (360) and wait for the next one while i buy a used xbox? the graphics jump isnt what i hoped for, and the original xbox has plenty of HD compatible games anyway with dolby digital surround. not to mention really good games for less than $10 at gamestop.

i'm a very confused gamer right now. i should mention though that i've been sitting through the last gen playing my dreamcast and watching my gamecube collect dust. should i get an xbox and play the original forza and other games i missed like ninja gaiden, halo 2, 2007 sports games, etc.? or.... should i save up any money i can, ignoring my other interests, and get a 360? i know i make this sound one sided but i need convincing. thanks if you read all of this.

I agree. I'm not sure if the original box is 100% dead, but with the new box, (as far as I know) it's fully backwards compatible. You're more off spending the extra few digits buying the new box than the previous box.

Good luck with your choosing.

well the 360 gets screwed up alot but if you get one that works it is awsome but 360 has gears of war which is amazing i got a 360 and i still havent kept it for more than 1 day becouse it keeps breaking.
