I was a diehard Sony supporter last generation. This gen, Sony started off horribly and being around gaming on a regular basis (I used to work at Game Crazy), I decided to go with a 360. At this point, I want MGS4 badly, along with GT5, God of War 3, Socom, and other Sony exclusives.

I'm now in a predicament, keep the 360 and hope for the best or buy a PS3 and hope for the best. I've gone from being completely satisfied to utterly disappointed with the 360. Doesn't help that Alan Wake is pretty much vaporware at this point.

I am very satisfied with the 360. When I first bought it and was leaving the store with a second controller, Live, and Gears of War I was regretting it. It came to like $850 bucks and this was in Nov 2006. But Gears of War alone made buying a 360 a great purchase. To this day I still play Gears online.

But a reason why I decided to go 360 instead of PS3 or Wii was because of Rare and Silicon Knights supporting it. I was a Gamecube /64 owner so I experienced the great games from these two developers. So far on that front I haven't been fully satisfied. Viva Pinata and Kameo were solid games and I'm still waiting on Too Human and Banjo which will both be awesome.

Also, the Burnout series and Grand Theft Auto series has continued on the 360 console.

Plus the 360 has had great games like Bioshock, Mass Effect, COD4, Halo 3, The Orange Box, Saints Row, The Darkness, and Eternal Sonata. All these games have given me great gaming experiences.

The only problem I've had with my 360 is that I wish it had more platformers because that's something it lacks.

I'd like to play MGS4 and Little Big Planet on the PS3 but that still won't justify paying 500 bucks for the PS3. However, I'll be buying one anyways very soon.

I am pretty satisfied with the console overall, but it does have its share of problems. I can't really give you my opinion as I own both systems and PS3 exclusives are hardly a concern to me.

Just get whatever you want most. If you think you can pass the PS3 exclusives, keep the 360.

Just get a PS3 and have both. That way you won't miss out on anything.

Anyway, I'm fairly satisfied, but it's my secondary console thanks to fear of RROD and overall crappy hardware. The '08 line-up could be better, but it's certainly not bad.

Mix between the top too. I am very satisfied. But it doesn't have ALL the games I want. That is why I bought a Wii:) Will miss not playing MGS4 though

That is probably what I will do.

I'm literally looking forward to ONE game on the 360 though, NG2. Alan Wake was the other but at this point, it is just vaporware.

I'm very satisfied with my X360. It has amazing graphics, a great selection of games with the most diverse library in this generation, and the most comprehensive online service - from multiplayer, to voice chat, to demos, to trailers.

With games like Gears of War, RB6 Vegas 1/2, Burnout Paradise, Forza 2, PGR 4, Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Bioshock, DOA 4, DMC 4, COD 4, Halo 3, Orange Box, Dead Rising (some of which I still haven't picked up yet with my limited time) there is too much to play, not even factoring in the upcoming games - Ninja Gaiden 2, GTA4, SoulCalibur 2, Gears 2, SC Conviction, Infinite Undiscovery, Alan Wake.

I was a happy camper while it was still functioning. Now that it's red ringed I'm a little less than enthused about it's performance. But the good times should be back when I get my replacement. There is a hefty heap of games I want to play both out and on the way.

It's all about the games, and thats where the 360 beats the PS3 for me. If the PS3 had the games I'd buy one but at the moment it doesn't compare, the only game I am slightly interested in is MGS4 but after the last efforts I don't really care about it.

I am very satisfied with my 360, Sofar it has the most playtime out of my consoles, Although to be fair it been out longer so have better games. But one thing I am surprised about is the JRPGs coming out for the 360. Was very surprised they got the next Tales game.

I love how they make this poll in system wars where you KNOW fanboys are going to pretty much make a very biased anti-360 choice. This is a thread for the 360 forum imo.

very satisfied with everything (well, except for the hardware, but mine has only died once since launch). The games could be a little better though, because i thought the Xbox had a lot of great, yet underrated games. But they all came later on for the most part.

Very all of the games I want to play that are not on pc I can play except ssbb:shock:.

But the ps3 and 360 are very alike now and are sharing lots of games so if u want the ps3 exclusives and can live without the 360 ones then make the switch,but for me its the other way around.

Biased anti-360 choice? Since when? Granted, I haven't been posting here for that long, the console that continues to get bashed in the PS3. Even when I worked at Game Crazy, everyone hated the PS3. Maybe I haven't been keeping up with current news, since when has the PS3 gained praise?

This summarises system wars:

ss

Totally unrelated, but I saw it and I HAD to post it somewhere. On topic, I'd like to say while it has the best library... it doesn't compare to past generations.

If the next two years are as good as the first two 360 will be my favorite console of all time.

Going back to owning a 2600 as a kid.

I'm pretty much satisfied with my 360 but the PROD issue has got to go. I'm currently playing VF 5, Guilty Gear x2 Reload, Street Fighter 2: Turbo Hyper Fighting, Metal Slug 3 and Street Fighter Three:Third Strike with my new arcade stick. Very fun games indeed. I'm also waiting for Ikaruga HD to release so I can play that on xbox live aswell. For some odd reason it doesn't work with Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, wich sucks balls. Ninja Gaiden 2 is my most anticipated game for 2008 so I hafto have a 360 pretty much. As soon as the one I have get's the Prod I'm tradeing it for the Ps3. It doesn't make any sense to buy any console I KNOW is going to break on me.

I was a diehard Sony supporter last generation. This gen, Sony started off horribly and being around gaming on a regular basis (I used to work at Game Crazy), I decided to go with a 360. At this point, I want MGS4 badly, along with GT5, God of War 3, Socom, and other Sony exclusives.

I'm now in a predicament, keep the 360 and hope for the best or buy a PS3 and hope for the best. I've gone from being completely satisfied to utterly disappointed with the 360. Doesn't help that Alan Wake is pretty much vaporware at this point.

CStheGreat

So you're "disappointed" with the 360 because of games that haven't even been released yet on the PS3... -> :|

Both platforms have outstanding games coming out this year... if you can't see that, you shouldn't have bought a 360 in the first place.

I have a wii, I have an ps3, I have 360.

My wii sits here and it mainly is used to recharge my wireless headset via usb, and i sometimes play the retrogames, SMG was the last game I played and i pretty much stopped after geting nearly all the stars, i didn't have any urge to get them all...all it gets me is luigi as a playable character..

My ps3 sits and collects dust I really don't play it at all, the last game I played was uncharted, Beat it then took it back to blockbuster, *infact I dont even have it right now i let someone borrow it*

My 360 is on most of the time i'm constantly playing it, right now halo 3, cod4, and rainbowsix vegas 2.

My psp is on most of the time i'm currently geting every thing mastered in crisis core but i have play in war of the lions, and
legend of heroes 3.

My ds just kind of sits there but ill get on it again soon to play that one rpg that was released, the end of the world thing..

I was in the same boat... there wasnt anything that interested me too much that was coming for the Xbox 360 so I pissed that off replaced it with a Wii and bought a PS3 soon after - absolutely love it. GT5P keeps me entertained meantime - might grab COD4 sometime and GTA4 but I'm absolutely pumped for MGS4. Well worth the upgrade for me.

I'm very satisfied, i've always loved the online aspect of games...but my PC couldn't handle the lastest, and i couldn't find a network adapter for my old PS2. So i got the upgrade, the graphics blew me away :) Online was awesome, i don't really care about paying the 80 as its such a good experince. The games suit my taste also, i rather an Xbox last gen then a PS2 because i raelly liked the shooters on the Xbox more. Yeah so i went with 360 this gen and very satisfied, PS3 is a great console, and great games coming for it, but just the 360 suits my taste more :)

This would fit better in the Xbox 360 forum...here you will have people who absolutely have the 360 and haven't even seen one in person voting for the lowest options. Anywhos,I LOVE my 360. Great games,great machine (none of my 360's never died from normal use),Live is great (I can afford $50 a year),community is great (I like diverse gamers). :) The 360 is great.

Well if 360 owners weren't satisfied with their 360 then they'd have a PS3/Wii by now, if they still do then they are satisfied.

Let me get this straight, you weren't interest in anything the 360 offers, So you buy a ps3 and look forward to two out of three games that are found on the 360 as well. Wow...

my 360 is collecting dust now coz iam not intrested in any of the games

last game i played was DMC 4 which was very good

I dont "look forward" to COD4 or GTA4... they're more of a bonus aswell as any other PS3 games that may interest me. I'm more looking forward in GT5P/GT5 and MGS4 - though I already have GT5P as I bought the PS3/GT5P bundle. Its the X360's exclusives that didnt interest me - a couple does but not as much as the ones for the PS3. Nothing wrong with the X360 - just personal choice on the games I want to play.
