With the Xbox 360 price drops coming soon, I think Microsoft will move a ton of systems especially over the holidays. I'm just salivating over the 199 Xbox 360 Arcade even when I already own an Xbox 360 Pro. I want to get one for my bedroom.

Anyways, here are 5 recommended games you should get if you indeed decide to purchase.

Dead Rising

Crackdown

Blue Dragon

Lost Odyssey

Condemned

Name 5 games you'd recommend for future 360 owners.

Don't own a Wii but i was thinking of buying a 360, has a pretty solid library but the reliability thing is keeping me from buying it.

I'm not sure if I want one or not. I mean, I do want one but the only games I want for it are Dead rising and Crackdown. Everything else is either better on the PC or not my cup of tea.

Yeah if you're between the age of 12 and 16 the 360 is perfect if you are older or younger go with Wii/PS3 or a good PC and a Wii and then you can buy 99% of all games on all platforms

It's tempting. I really want to play Fable 2 and Braid, but I don't want to spend $350-400 for the privilege. I'll wait to see when the PC versions of these come out. Bah, being an infrequent gamer is annoying when you're talking about exclusives.

I've already played one and enjoyed it, my brother used to have one but he sold it, and from the look of some of it's upcoming games I wouldn't find myself doing that.

Maybe you'll find his reasoning in the thread title, because i don't see the PC anywhere in it.

I'm a Wii/PC owner, and wouldn't mind buying a 360...but I just can't think of enough exclusive games that I want to justify the price of a new console.

Although some people I know have Xbox, about the same number of people with them as PS3s, I still won't get it as I'm not into RPGs.

I have a Wii and a PS3. I have enough games that I need to finish on my Wii and a LOT of games coming soon for the Playstation 3. I would love to own a 360 but three consoles and hardly enough time as it is to play the games I have. Maybe if the 720 releases first I will own my first Xbox.

Maybe. The thought has crossed my mind. But it's highly unlikely.

BTW, your list is riddled with garbage IMO. You could have at least listed real games. Like Fable 2, and... uhh

I dunno. Maybe some other RPGs? and ... you know.. gears.

But srsly. the only reason I'd get a 360 is to play games with my friends who refuse to get PS3's cause they have overheard too many fanboys trash talking the PS3. -_-

But yeah. The more i think about it, the less I want one, cause I just absolutely despise the 360 fanboys, and Microsoft in general.

No, I'm getting a new PC this fall instead. The only RPG's i'm interested in are Final Fantasies and not mediocre ones so I don't need a 360. I'd really love Dead Rising and Crackdown, but PS3 is getting Infamous next year and i'll just have to deal with not having Dead Rising.

Mass Effect and Alan Wake i'll be getting on PC.

im sorry to say to you xbox fans but i did have one of the first xbox 360 well 4 months when i got my hands on one and it was great but that problem with the ring of death bit me in the ass so i just chucked it back in the shop and asked for my money back and saved abit more to get a ps3 and to be honest i dont see any good games that are coming out to look forward to but with the ps3 im like YAY killzone...YAY little big planet...YAY resistance 2 etc but with 360 i think i would only be intrested in gears of war 2 and thats only becuase i had the first one when my 360 worked and i would only be getting GOW2 becuase im more intrested in how it ends then anything eles so i shall stay with the ps3 thank you veery much...sorry

I am 30 and enjoy the Wii. In fact I enjoy more than my PS3 which is unpluged to save power.

I have been playing my 360 a lot the last few days. So I would say the I enjoy the 360 as much has I do my Wii right now. That is high praise coming from me.

Nope. One console is enough for me. Even with the price drop, I don't want to have to dig into my pockets for a new console and to pay for online. But if someone were to GIVE me a 360, who am I to say no? ;)

I have a Wii and just picked up a 360, it's got enough titles finally to keep me interested all the time

Considering the 360 has the most quality titles out of the three systems, thats an odds statement.

To be honest, I already own a really good gaming PC that can run most multiplatforms at higher resolutions and higher settings than the 360 AND PS3. It's a quad-core PC, stock 2.4GHz system OC'd to 3.2GHz, 4GB of DDR2 RAM at 800MHz, 1200 Watt Power Supply, 500GB SATA 7200 RPM drive and 7900GT OC'd (soon to upgrade to ATI 4850HD). Aside from the jRPGs being released on the 360, I can play most of its exclusives, at some point in time, on the PC platform.

This includes Mass Effect, Bioshock, Halo 3, Gears Of War, etc.

No, the game lineup just does't interest me enough to warrant buying the console. There is plenty on the Wii and DS to keep me busy (and no, I'm not ten, I'm twenty-eight). If I pick up another console this gen it will be a PS3 with backwards compatability for Gran Tourismo 5, FF13, Street Fighter IV, and a few others along with the PS2 classics (though I may just break down and pick up a PS2 Slim).

I currently own a Wii and 360. The Wii gets played the least and when played by my 10 year old. As for 360, I reccomend that you try to purchase a the 360 with the new Falcon chip which greatly reduces the probability of crashes when compared to the current chip. The only way to figure out if it has this new chip is to check its manufacture date.
