Its insane the amount of good games the 360 is getting. In the past couple months you have 5 AAA games out with another coming next week. (Halo3, AC, COD4, HLOB, Bioshock & Mass Effect next week). No other console is even close to the 360 this gen in terms of games. I just dont get how people can even argue this point. 360 games >>> PS3 or Wii games.

If you are a real gamer, why would you want to miss any great game on any system?

Halo 3 is ok, its not great to me, but its ok

AC and COD4 i can play on ps3

half life i already have on PC

bioshock doesnt look interesting to me

mass effect looks amazing however

buying faulty hardware thats most likely going to break on you eventually for 1 amazing game, and 1 ok game, isnt worth it, but thats my opinion.

No ps3 is more of the risk because you gotta sell your mom in order to get that kind of money for a blue ray with medicore games.`

Don't forget The Orange Box and a few extra controllers because your originals will wear out faster from using them so much.

I like how in every thread he posts in his sarcastic, obviously-tongue-in-cheek post flies over someone's head and they quote it as if he's serious.

You happen to be that person in this thread.

Congrats.

It's all about utility, or how much enjoyment I get out of the console. Right now I can get far more enjoyment from playing my 360, paying for online than I can from playing a PS3 and getting free online or from my Wii.

For a gamer the 360 is the best platform, For a kid the Wii and for people that want to watch Blu-ray movies the PS3

The PC has Crysis , other than that I could care less. I played a 10 day trial of World of Warcraft and boy did that suck, I played it for 2 days and uninstalled it.

I had a 360 and sold it. I did not play it almost at all. Played gears, I had alot of fun with it but I am really tired of it as well. Mass effect is the only game that really interest me to the point of wanting a 360.

Why would I? I own a computer. Most good games that are on xbox 360 are on Pc. Also shooters have always been the strong point of xbox 360. No one who owns a computer wants to play shooters on a console.

I Game one my Pc and My PS3 so since all 360 games get ported to the PC there is no need for an 360 and it really doesn't matter how long it takes I'll be busy playing guild wars and the PC port is gonna be better they the 360 version examples Bioshock and gears of war

While there is no denying the strength of the 360 library right now, I don't have the money right now to buy a 360 or PS3.

If I had the money now and wanted a console right now, you are right. 360 is the way to go. However, as a "gamer", if I may answer your question, I am, interested in having the most diverse and well rounded gaming experience i can have. That is why I consider the PS2 to be the best console of all time. Simply put, it had the largest and most diverse library by far. It seems that as great as the 360 library is, it is still lacking compared to the PS2.

If I start to see signs that the PS3 library is going to be more like the PS2, then I will hold out for the PS3. If not, then I would go with the 360.

The issue at hand is you are confusing REAL gamers with impetuous consumers who must buy something immediately. As a real gamer, I will agree that the 360 has a great lineup this gen, but it is still heavily lacking in the games I play the most (rpgs, strategy, action/adventure, etc).

That's such a wierd contradiction common in system wars. It was always bad for the Xbox to get PC ports, but it's great for PC to get 360 ports...

Honestly, the only thing that is sort of holding me back is the RoD. It will be an EXTREME pain for me to try and replace/fix the console should it break-down on me. Unfortunately, the likelihood of it breaking down is more than I am willing to risk. The games and online are great though which is a shame that they more or less go to waste on me for the time being.

uhh you like consoles that last a long time do you mean like break down or what cuz

last time i chcked the gamecube had like 3 year life cycle with huge gamin draughts all over its lifecycle

the wii looks like its following suit after brawl comes out

yeah u like consoles that last a long time maybe u should get a ps3 like the rest of us

ps1 lasted 10 years ps2 already doin great on its 8th thats fanstatic imo

console doesnt break down like the xbox console lifespan is huge unlike the wii

its the best of the both worlds imo

1. I had one but it broke in a week

2. I hated the online, online is filled with way too muny pubescant kids that get off when they win, especially in gears of war when the host has power over the players. I'd say that's a pretty big mistake and the microtransactions really really set me against it

3. I don't like the games and any that I do are on the PC

4. General microsoft environment makes it seem like all they want is my money without really delivering any substance

What can't you get? It's all about opinion. I have a 360, and I'm dissapointed with game selection considering it's been 2 years. Other than Gears, Saints Row, Halo 3, and Ace Combat 6, I'm not impressed with much else. Bioshock is good, but I got that for PC.

I have a decent pc and I get to borrow my friends 360 when he's at school (college), but even if I didn't have it, 360 shares so many games with pc, I see no point.

why u sheeps keep thinking xbox360 is the shiat this generation..

halo3? seen it done that with halo 2.

mass effect? okay something new.

bioshock was next gen half life but with superior atmosphere... very creepy, but gameplay wasn't groundbreaking.

cod4 was fun but not has revolutionary as every thinks.

ps2 games> nin ds > xbox 360 > ps3 > psp > wii

i haven't gotten a 360 cuz why i gota pay 300+ for a system that has a chance to breakdown, NO thanks.

and most of the good games are playable on the PC eventually.

so why even get xbox360? for one or two games maybe?

multiplayer halo3? jus play counterstrike, gameplay is superior.

Because it's more expensive than the PS3. 360 you have to buy: HDDVD Drive WiFi Gears of War Halo 3 Bioshock Mass Effect Dead Rising Forza 2DaysAirlines

Not even funny,

GeOW= shooter.

Halo 3= shooter.

Bioshock= Shooter.

Mass effect= shooter.

Dead Rising= good game.

Forza 2= Jaggy racing.

360 == a chance to break

mmmm

Wii == a chance to break

Ps3 == a chance to break

Ps2 == chance to break

PC == a chance to break...

if its electronic, it most defitnly has a chance to break. MAybe not as often as the 360(unless you're talkin bout the ps2) but it still has that chance.

It costs money, I don't like shooters, and I like consoles that work? I don't like paying for online, which is clearly a ripoff, and I don't like WRPGs on consoles, since they're usually better suited to PC.
