A question from a 36 yr old, "Why not own a 360?"

[QUOTE="treyskillz"]

[QUOTE="Aaquib5"]Cause 360 freaking sucks. Get a ps3 and never be forced to pay $480 for hdmi! ahahahahaJavy03

Actually with PS3 your forced to buy it at $500 or $600. With Xbox360, you can choose to buy $300 (very basic) , $400 (which is the best one) , or this $480 one (which is like a Super Size version). Also 360 doesn't force you to buy into a new format (Blu-ray / HD-DVD) its an option.

Do all versions of Xbox360 packages play all 360 games? Yes

Do 360 games use HD-DVD? No

Do 360 games need to be played on HD-DVD to be in HD? No

Ok, the public is going HD, but is it going to be HD-DVD, Blu-ray, or Digital Download, and when will it be standard? ...

36 year olds tend to have a little more cash ....danneswegman

yep, especially when you're single and living with your parants. :lol:

According to studies the average gamer is at age 29. 

Your response shows where your maturity level is at.

Your assenine assumption is on par with the assumption that Nintendo is only for kids and since you have Mario in your sig you must be 8 years old. (Although your response would indicate that to be more true than your affinity for Mario.)

Do you plan to stop gaming when you hit a certain age?  No?  Then why are you assuming that this person is any different?

Should a 36 year old not engange in an intelligent discussion with a 13 year old on a videogame board?  One of the great things about the internet is that it has no bias on age.  A kid with a great intelligent response is just as respectable as an adult with one.  Videogames are great.  Their appeal is ageless and discussing such should be ageless as well, until children make stupid repsonses like yours that is.

[QUOTE="xX0LDSCH00LXx"] "How old are you and you argue with 12 year olds on the interwebs about consoles......... " Argue with 12 yr olds? look, I posted a serious topic here!!! GET LOST!!!xX0LDSCH00LXx

Are you debating with yourself now???  :?

People do you think that games are just for young people. The average age for a gamer is 33 years old.

You realize that 'System Wars' is, at most times, devoid of intelligence, right? If that's the kind of discussion you're looking for - you're in the wrong place...   :P

I'm posting these links to XBOX Live.com, I dare anybody that owns a PS3 and or a WII to check them out!!! and if you don't.. and choose to be a loser, than at least you'll be an educated loser!!!

By the way - you can 'bump' this thread till your finger falls off, you're not going to convince anyone to buy a 360 here. And if you thought you'd be able to, you're sadly mistaken.

This is a forum where it's sole reason to exist is for people to fight with each other over which system is better than another. Nobody that comes here is going to see your post and magically decide to open their wallet and purchase a rival console - I'm sorry, but it ain't gonna happen.

If that's the response you're looking for, I believe there is a 'General Games Discussion' forum where the people might be a little more susceptible to your ruse...

Well I don't know a HDTV and don't plan to spend 1000+ on one any time soon so far has graphics go I could care less. In my "opinion" there are better games comming out for the Wii than the 360. Then if I were to pick a second system in my "opinion" there are better games comming out for the PS3 than the 360.

Nubs? You're calling someone nubs and then laughing accusing him that he's single, 36, and still lives with his parents? You were basically implying that you "shouldn't" be gaming when your 36. But hey thanks for your time rookie.

not that you "shouldn't" be gaming when you're 36, but i guess everyone should agree that arguing what system others should get when you're at that age with the so-called 12 yr old kid tells alot about your character.

[QUOTE="advertise_this"]why not buy a ps3 with your xbox360/wii.xX0LDSCH00LXx

Because its too expensive.

Not true at all. My 360 might have been cheaper then a PS3. But it crashes constantly and gives me disc read errors on brand new games. I do not call that good value, because what i got in return for buying it was nothing but frustration.

Pedantic huh? Well then, explain to me why it's happened with no game in the tray? I have also had red lights just for turning it on, and twice a blue screen that also gave me japanese text in a warning.

I have only had it for 5 - 6 months. I judge electronics "value" on reliability. The 360 wasn't worth the money i paid for it.

As for the PS3? when it's released here in the UK i will see if it is worth it.

I didn't bother as my 2 best friends had problems, replaced their 360's, and are now having more problems. I have a 3 year warrenty so when a decent exclusive comes out i may get it changed. Until then i do not intend to do anything about it. I would rather play on my PS2 which still works fine

Edit: out of observation, most games don't = best games, or even games to everyones taste. Greatest service is also a matter of opinion. I honestly regret buying a 360, I love the achievment system though.

see? its not just me who think you're weird.

I, once an xbox owner and a hater of Sony after they screwed me over a broken PS2, am now starting to hate Microsoft. My xbox 360 has been repaired twice, and i've just had possibly the best game of Rainbow Six online EVER ruined because the piece of crap crashed on me after just 25 minutes of play. I'm sure i'll cool down later; but it's so damn infuriating. It's the most unreliable piece of tech i've ever owned.Ninja-Vox
