Resi 5 is coming to PC.

And no, I doubt MS will go lower than $200.

^yea doubt a price drop is coming anytime soon, but they could replace the arcade console for the pro at $200 dollhairs soon enough. I still say it's worth it, Gears 2 and Halo 3 are very fun online.

360 is more than worth it. I'd stay away from the arcade though, solely due to the lack of HDD. However, that may not affect you, in which case, grab an arcade.

I'd get one still, I have all 3 and the PS3 does get more time, but the 360 is well worth it.

seriously don't get an arcade 360. that thing is such ####... the arcade is probably the only reason why Microsoft got so many sales last year. go for the premium or the elite. and if you're going to buy an elite, you should definitely consider the ps3 as well. they're both great consoles. anyone who doesn't agree is just a stupid fanboy

I love the 360 it's my favourite console and the only one i own. However i don't understand why anyone would want more than one console or PC. AS unless you play 24/7 or something i'm pretty sure one console or PC should be sufficent especially now adays because there are tons of games to play on all the consoles. But hey that's just me.

XBox 1? HELL NO. You can play those games on any 360 model.:P A 360, on the other hand, is, but you should invest in at least the Pro edition. That contains all the features necessary for gaming, and for a reasonable price of $300.

Yes, get the Pro model. I wouldn't bet on a price cut though.

if you have a pc, get a ps3 more exclusives, its not worth it to get a 360 just for what halo3, gears of war 2, and fable 2, those are about the only big exclusives not available on pc. this is coming from someone who has ps3 and 360, ps3 just has better exclusives and a better future lineup.

IMO, I disagree about the 360 being useless if you have a PC, I play my 360 more than PC actually.

I don't think Arcade will get cheaper, but maybe the 60GB and very probably the Elite will get a pirce drop in NA at least.

they might be doin just that, and i hope they do announce some good games for this year, but as of right now from what we know only a fool would say that xbox 360 has a better exclusives coming out for at least this year and early next year. im just pointing out to the op what is known as fact right now.

The great thing about the 360 is that it has always been worth it to own one.

I doubt there will be a price drop but it doesn't hurt waiting a couple more days for their conference. Like you pointed out in your original post - it's all about the games. If you think those games warrant the price of the console, then go for it. Personally, my 360 is the most played console in terms of gaming.
