Buying An X1.5 is like buying a car with no seats, no doors, and no AC!

Wifi is far from being important. Wired LANs actually work better, but the wireless is a benefit.

The feature set of XBL gold makes the $50 a YEAR worthwhile. Hell, its less than the preice of a game.

At least you dont have to plug a controller into the console when the batts get low.

20GB is fine considering there are no required installs on the 360

1) wifi is important, my x1.5 is way too far from router, i don't want to wire it with very long wire, wifi is more effecient.

2) Paying $50 for p2p.? I take free anytime, ty.

3) wtf.

4) not really, i want to save my music, movies, on my hdd. in addition to the xbla games, 20 gig was never enough for me. so i have to buy an overpriced hdd.

No Wifi :lol: even DS has wifi, Paying for wifi

Not everyone wants a Wifi connection. Many gamers perfer to hardwire their connection. Wifi would be closer to a ride stability problem if you ask me. You can get along with out it, but in the end its would you go for the easy fix with slightly less stability but more versatility, or vice versa.

No Online Play :lol: Paying for online.

There is online play. I'm not sure what you meant with that first part. Paying for online does suck, but I'd compare it more so with paying for premium car features such as Onstar or XM radio, than say, no doors.

No Rechargable Batteries for controlller :lol:, and having to pay for charging kits :lol:

Does suck but hardly analogous to no -er whatever. Buying batteries is more like paying for gas, if you ask me.

you might also add HDD if you are buying an Arcade, or Premuim ( 20gig is not enough lol ).

20 gigs has been enough for me. I'm not sure what you were comparing this too, but I suppose trunk space?

StrifeXIII

I don't necessarily disagree with what you say so much as how you said it. Comparing a video game system to a car was simply not a good decision. Not to mention the amount of smileys was, IMO, very annoying.

Edit: Minor typos

Some people are fine with playing with wired controllers. Me, personally, I'd prefer a wired ehternet connection for safety, and stability. 50 bucks a year for (relatively) stable service is not so bad, so don't make it out to be that bad. Depending on what you plan to do with it, 20 gigs of space might, or might not be enough for your needs, it's up to every individual.

I don't mind having to pay for that crap, because XBL is excellent, and I'm gonna be pretty pissed when my sixaxis controller's battery dies on me once and for all. You do pay extra, but it's not all for nothing.

Y'know what? You're right. Paying for online and nonstandard WiFi, those things suck. They do! Now the real question: So what? If you can repress your giggle-overload for a while, perhaps you should explain why those things are more important that other things. Stuff like, say... games.

i like it when we all just live in the past, what good game did x360 get recently? what good games is it going to get in 2008? i can only think about banjoo, gow2, and fable2. it has nothing, even wii got more attractive line up.

Seriously, the x1.5 is the worst console i have ever bought, even the gamecube was a better investment.

Ok, lets end this debate once and for all, xbox live might be a better service than let's say PSN, but it is NOT $50 better, NEVER EVER.

i tried both services, i got an x1.5 live gold , so i know more than you.

1. Agreed

2. Sorry, but PC online gaming is free and WAY better than XBL

3. So you would rather have to buy the charger and plug it into that huh? Sorry, but plugging it into the console is a lot easier. You logic here fails.

3. 20GB is only fine if you don't plan on doing much with your system.

In the OP's defence, it is the only console that hasn't had some kind of widespread change.

So what the hell do you call it? A money pit? So your going to blow several hundred dollars on an electronic and not want to get the most out of it? [Your going to blow money on ANYTHING without wanting to get the most out of it?] "Fanboys call their bought console an investment"(You spelled this wrong) but stupid people buy it without having this same mentality, which makes no sense if you actually earn your own money.

Sounds to me like you have parents that wait on you hand and foot. Sound as though you have no buying power and couldn't appreciate what YOU pay for. And I'm in no way agree with the delusional kid you quoted.

Edit: I can't tell wether you were being sarcastic.

you don't get crap with the toilet when you buy a new one....maybe where you are from?? But if you put crap in it, then it's full of crap. Like alot of the multiplatforms, it's mostly crap on the PS3.

Why talk about the PS3 in the past tense, like the console war is over? 'Got'? Sorry bub, but this is just the beginning of the PS3's life. Whereas its nearer the end of the 360's. Lets talk about who 'got' what in 4-5 years time.
