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.

Becasue I will never own anything that has to do with ATi. If I need my 360 fix I'll call up my friend and he'll bring it over. I have been doing this with gears and halo3. Other than that I am not missing anything so spectacular that I cant play on my ps3 or pc.

My lack of money, the complete lack of originality (hardware wise)and my objection to the direction it is moving the industry. My brother, however, has a 360 so I play on that, but I can only afford the games for one handheld and one console.

[QUOTE="Thinker_145"][QUOTE="SpideR_CentS"][QUOTE="theshadowhunter"]because im a PC gamer... all the good games for 360 come out for PC anyways...SpideR_CentS
not true at all

I know there are a few games but explain that.

sure DoA, PGR, Forza, Dead Rising, Saints Row, Kameo, PDZ, Halo 3, Mass effect, and all the console games that dont go to PC (too many to name)

Doa is coming to the PC.

Dead rising,saints row,kameo and PDZ are above average games but nothing special.Sorry.

Halo 3 and mass effect will come to PC.

Forza and PGR are the only noteworthy games i see on that list that wont be coming to the PC.

there are also a TON of games that come to PS3/360 but not PC. There are also more Exclusive 360 games. If you want me to list I will. And Dead rising,saints row,kameo and PDZ are not above average games. They are great games.

Edit: and can you link me to where Mass Effect and Halo 3 will be coming to PC?

Some people are content with waiting for ports, have different control or on-line preferences. I prefer my 360 right now to the other consoles, but I would never try to push my opinion on others or question their gamer status because they have different preferences.

I have nothing against the 360 at all, some of the games really really intrigue me for sure. That being said there is no mario, no link, no zelda, no endless ocean, no mario kart, no VC for games I want to play again from my youth, no awesome new controls, no no integrated wifi. This is just a small list of the games that are to me deal breakers and make me really happy that I have the Wii. I did have a 360 at launch though and sold it, nothing wrong with it at all its just not for me is all.

Well, there are three things keeping me from getting a 360. The main reason I don't want a 360 is in fear of the RROD. The other two reasons aren't as major, but still things I think about when I think about the 360. The fact that I would have to pay to play online, and the fact that I would be playing with lemmings. Sorry, but the way lemmings act on this site has really turned me off to the 360. I really wouldn't want to have to play with those types of people. But like I said, the main reason is the RROD.

The 360's library is pretty great, it's the definate next purchuse for console wise.

However, it's the lack of variety that kind of ruins it for me (too many shooters, not enough of anything else), and I can get most of tose games in a suprerior version on PC (COD4, Gears, Orange Box, Bioshock)

Also, without online play, which I don't want to pay for, it doesn't seem as great.

But thats just my opinion. (plus, Mass Effect looks amazing)

you don't have your own friends to play with?

My friends aren't lemmings, they are hermits. So no, I don't have my own lemmings friends to play with, only hermits. I really don't know anybody with a 360.

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.

shadyd1717

i don know why every one says its faulty. i got mine in the second shipment after launch and have treated it rather badly and have had 0 problems.maybe im just lucky but i dont find the 360 crappy hardware and that leaves me with the games. and seeing ass how my broke ass could only afford one system i think i made the right choice.

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

a) its silly to say u have to buy a hd-dvd player

b) i don't get why u list buying games as a disadvantage of 360. u have to buy games on all consoles. can't believe i even bothered to say that.

You are so right, PS3 games are like $20 dollars dearer in aus than 360 games therefore is i brought 6 games on the ps3 (6 were listed above) i would spend hmm 120*6-100*6=720-600=$120 more, technicallly i can get 7 360 games for the ps3s price of 6,

Wifi, why use wifi give meethernet anyday and im sick of poeple saying that paying for the rechargable battery pack is a cost for the 360 just usenormal rechargables!
