$400 is way too much for a XBOX 360

For what you get anyways..

standard dvd drive

20 gig hdd

one controller

no wifi

no rechargeable batteries built in

High Definition Gaming

XBOX live gold free for one month- $50 a year after that

poor quality hardware

Sorry I just don't see how the 360 package could be a good deal at all. Maybe you can all enlighten me as to why you think it is?

For what you get anyways..

standard dvd drive - why waste more money if you don't have Hi def tv?

20 gig hdd - still have plenty left

one controller - so?

no wifi - huh?

no rechargeable batteries built in - i agree there should be, nothing worth pointing out.

High Definition Gaming

XBOX live gold free for one month- $50 a year after that - Not much considering a single game costs more.

poor quality hardware - 3 year warranty and my console is a year old and still fine.

Honestly just give me a box with a DX10 card with 1 GB of Ram in a console and a DVD rom drive

with a wired controller for 199$ = WIN.

Uhhhh.....and $600 for a PS3 gives you SO MUCH more? Okay, bigger HD and Blu Ray....which debatebly isn't a step over HD DVD.....Cpt_Meh

bingo!

20 gig hdd - still have plenty left- you must not be downloading much content off of XBOX LIVE or putting your own content onto the system

one controller - so? Ya that's another $50 I gotta throw down just so a friend can play a game with me when they come over, They should at least have 2 controllers for the lack of all the other features.

no wifi - huh? Ya there is no WIFI built into the system

no rechargeable batteries built in - i agree there should be, nothing worth pointing out.

I know for the money I paid, I get more use out of my 360 right now...I'm still waiting for my PS3 to catch up entertainment wise...thats a response

I think all the next gen systems are expensive.

Wii - $250 for a minor upgrade of the GCN (sorry sheep, but hardwarewise it's true). I'll probably eventually buy a wii, but mostly because I didn't have a gamecube, and want some fun party games casuals can play.

360 - $400 for basically a run of the mill next gen system, but $100 more (even if you count inflation). I love the 360's games but hardwarewise it's no more cutting edge than the xbox, ps2, ps1, n64, or GCN was when they were released.

PS3 - I really don't care how much sony hypes it, the hardware isn't impressive for gaming. Any game on the ps3 could be made for the 360 and look just as good (except the 360 version will cost less, and take less time to develop also you'll basically have a PC version of the game also).

so true...:cry:

I really don't even know what kind of point you're trying to make anymore, besides bashing the 360...correct me if I'm wrong?

I think you nailed it right there...only I gotta say that I sort of agree with him. His reasoning is garbage, but the 360 needs a price cut soon. They should have done it back when the Elite came out -- introduced that at $400 and gotten rid of the Core system. They should also shave $5 or so off the subscription fee for Live -- more would be better, but any little cut will make an impact. It's a great system and I don't regret a dime that I've spent on it or on games for it, but $300 is a much friendlier price, especially two years in to the system's life.

Find me a cheaper next gen console that plays games and dvd's and i'll agree with you.

very true.

i think i probably will get a wii once they stop becoming so damn elusive. if only for Mario, it'll be worth it.

if your gonna get a 360, the elite would be the best deal, though thats just me, i like to get the biggest collectors setversions of products and stuff, though i was kinda forced into the 20gig ps3. but any 360 can play gears, so thats a plus for whatever unit you pick, and many other fun games i would snatch in a heartbeat if i could afford one.

it is a bit over-hyped, but its actually pretty impressive for the next-gen systems. wireless top models, blu-ray discs hold more for bigger games, six-axis controller...eh, cell allows for more stuff to happen, like environment and ai. it needs more games and the best game out for it now is a launchy says allot about all its current lineup.

games itself are enough to buy it.ginglejangle

not if your 360 not workin and plus most games makes the 360 bricked..even a simple firmeware update can kill it..lol..400 dollars for a junk..no thank u..iill wait for a price drop and microsoft fix their dmn problems

That'd be a damn computer wouldn't it?

And $600 is way to much for a PS3. Next.

So you're assuming you're a PS3 fanboy we see...

But, let me guess, 600 is MORE than good enough for a PS3?

Get out. And don't make dumb threads.

I got two games bundeled with my 360.

Also as far as i know (unless it's recently changed) MS sells the consoles at a loss, so how anyone can say "it's not worth the money" is living in a dream world.

They sell at loss and make it up with games. That's what makes a console worthwhile. Now which system has the most games? So which is the rip off console? I'll answer that: The one with the least games.

Mine came with PGR 3. I've seen other bundles with GRAW, Kameo, GeoW.... MS has a cycle of different bundles going now with the Premium.
