360, worth it?

I was debating maybe looking into buying a 360, iv played it and love it, games like halo and banjo-kazooie would be my main motive, iv only owned Nintendo brand stuff, and i love my wii.a big discouraging factor about the 360,that i witnessed first hand today,is the red ring of death....how common is a death ring? and should i buy one if it drains all my fun funds?

Do you have a PS3 first of all? If not, definitely buy one because its lineup is just plain epic. If you have a PS3, then definitely get a 360, though 360's lineup and future isnt so bright.

nope, never ownedme one o' themplay station in me life....rrrrr....pirate

As a 360 owner, I say get it, you can catch up on the games you missed and wait until E3 for announcements of future 360 games. And RROD isn't that bad anymore.

For me at 07, I had bought a 60GB PS3 for $632. Later in the 07 summer, I sold it for a 360. A year later, I sold it for a PS3 lol. I lost $547 dollars though :(

i got one, more or less with the power of a 360 i believe(plays Fallout 3 without a hit), BUT....well i do like consoles for playing to avoid installing, bugs on installing,video cards conflicts, forced patches, OS complications(COUGH Vista), etc...However, do i have to play for the online service on a 360?or is just an extra online feature but i can play online for free the games i purchase.intro94

thanks.20 bucks for a year i hope right?intro94

Well the red ring of death is still possible to get but nothing major since you can install games to your harddrive (if you do that with all games, RROD is basically extinct).

Don't buy a Xbox 360 or PS3 -- get a gaming PC.Stevo_the_gamer

1. The 360 is very much a worthy purchase. Especially for someone who hasn't experienced Halo 3, Gears 1 and 2, Mass Effect and others.

2. All of you always say, "get a gaming PC"! I dont know about you guys, but sitting huddled at a desk 12 inches from a 21" PC monitor isn't my idea of great gaming! Plus, who really enjoys click, click, click, wa, wa, wasd, wasd, click, click, click oh and those installs!!!!!!!

i own a 360 and i love it, i really recommend it

No but Ps3 is very much a worthy purchase. Especially for someone who hasn't experienced MGS4, Ratchet, Killzone2, Uncharted, Resistance and others.

in one word. yes it definatly is

except you can still get all those games and for less money now. :?

Get an Xbox 360 for Halo 3, you won't regret it. Two years later, and it's still been entertaining every day. One of this generation's strongest games for value. It doesn't look like PS3 has a game with this strong of value yet.

Disturbed_One98

the game doesn't entertain me as much as other FPS's I've played like Counter-Strike: Source, Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty 4, or Team Fortress 2. I don't know what it is about Halo 3, but I just don't find the game as fun. Therefore, everyone is different in their preference of games. I know people who think Halo 3 is the best game ever and I know people who have grown tired of it or just think it's over rated.

Also, you said it doesn't look like a PS3 game doesn't have this strong of value yet. What about Killzone 2? The multiplayer in that has a class system where you can earn perks and build up your character (influence by Call of Duty 4). That alone is an incentive to keep playing along with the fun multiplayer action (again this my opinion, but I think people who play the game for a while will agree). Along with the multiplayer you have a very good single player experience, so I think it's safe to say the is a great value. I think that people are looking at the sales of KZ2 too much and then labeling it a failure because other big games are outselling. I think this game will have legs, especially after PS3's price cut.

Keep in mind the xbox live costs, it's not free like nintendo's. Other than that it's worth it, especially if you like shooters.

Not worth it. Cancelled XBL and haven't looked back. Looking to sell my Xbox 360.
