I am 15 years old and i have 1200 dollars in my savings.

My old 4 year old fat 360 is running out of HD space(only about 50GB left out of the 120), Been thrown in the mud(don't ask),wireless adapter randomly disconnnects from live, makes wierd disk drive noises, and i just like the new look of the slim.

I know the slim came out like 2 years ago already, but i dont mind spending $250 dollars on the holiday bundle, or hell even $350 on the Halo 4 console becuase i can EASILY make that money back again by the time i need it for college(about 3 years away lol) or when i actually need the money. So money isn't a problem bacuase im good at making/managing my money.

Should i buy the Halo 4 bundle since im already getting Halo 4 and want a new xbox 360 slim or get the $250 holliday bundle or just save my money for Next-gen consoles?

I know that there probably going too announce the new consoles e3 2013 but then it might not be released till late 2013/early 2014 and even then i don't want to get the Next-gen consoles at launch because there can be problems with the sytems and not that many games to play. So i would want to wait about 1 year to purchase the next xbox/playstation. If all this im considering it true that leaves me a minimum of about 1.5-2 years to play with my current Halo 4 xbox 360 if a get it.

Thanks for reading this and please answer helpfully and don't troll

Withou teven reading your OP , Yes its to late in gen to get a slim. The lems will un in here and tell you to buy a 360 slim. WHat you really want to do is wait unitl next gen and just get a 720. It will likely have BC so you can play any 360 games you missed. MY wii broke a year ago. I'm not getting another and they are only $100-$150. I'm waiting until the Wii U. Save you $$ money bro. Be patient.

Even if it's not in perfect condition, you already have one so there really isn't a reason to get a new one this late in the generation.

Yes, given that the next Xbox is expected around the corner.

It also has no games. Just Halo, Gears and Forza. You'll get bored with it anyway, so don't bother.

The 360 has far more games, including exclusives, than the PS3. Hell, I've got about 50 games for my XBox 360, and I'm a PC gamer... lol

I would go for it Next gen is still ATLEAST a full year away and even then we don't know how much it'll cost. I would atleast hold off for BlackFriday as you may find a good deal online even if you don't go out. Even being the end of the console cycles that's only a good thing because now there are sooo many great games to play.

To be fair it has alot of exclusive downloadables that are actually good. *Shadow Complex comes to mind* and at the risk of starting a larger fanboy war it does play 3rd party games either alot better or in the case of COD/Skyrim gets more content then PS3 first.

I was clearly joking bro, read the context, the irony should be obvious...derp

But I guess you're still butthurt from the previous thread, LBP 95 on MC = higher than any 360 exclusive, rage more :lol:

Probably smarter to ask this in the 360 forum, than here on System Wars. All you're going to get here is a bunch of PS3 fanboys telling you to not get one, or to get a PS3 instead. This is Cowspot after all.

In response to your question..it's not too late if you have the money go for it. There's still at least 2-3 years left in the Xbox 360's life, and still plenty of games coming out for it.

Whatever your choice is I wouldnt worry about the next gen consoles. Just cause they come out doesnt mean you have to buy them right away. Wait and see if they have any problems or even good games yet. Plus, I find it hard to believe they will come out soon. I don't know if it's just me, but I havent seen any news. And when I say next gen, I mean next xbox and playstation, I know wii u is coming out.

He already has a 360. His avatar is MC. He is not considering a PS3.

He knows the games on the 360 and (apparently) likes them. So your post is a waste of time.

That's what you get for posting in SW. To answer the question, yes go for it, if you have money to spend & don't have enough patience for next gen. Never too late to get a console.

If it ain't broke, why replace it? None of the "limited" special editions are really that rare or limited, even after having been given a reasonable amount of time to sell.
