just bought a 360 - worst mistake in my life :(, but now its ok :) i returned it

I did it.. I fell for the hype and I payed the price (400$ that is :'(). Two days ago i decided to buy a 360- i dont know why, but with all the great rated games on this site for the system, I said why not and used money i got from my birthday to buy the thing-what an absolute WASTE!!! I bought gears of war, and pgr was packed with the system. At first I played pgr for a while, and after the visual eye candy, the whole experience just wore off. The controller felt so static - in comparison with excite truck- and really felt horrible after playing with the wii mote and the freedom it allowed you. I actually had more fun with the geometry wars demo than the entire game ITSELF!! Next I tried gears of war, and boy what a dissapointment. After all the great reviews, this game was sooo repitive and dull-with the most idiotic dialogue I had ever seen. I played it for an hour and a half and got tired of the whole thing. I was so dissapointed with my 360 and i couldnt belive all the hype about its "great games"- theres barely anything worthwile on the system if pgr and gears are anything to go by...And get this... I woke up today to turn on the system, and guese what I got? 3 RED LIGHTS!!! this system is horrible, and i will be returning it soon enough- this is just a warning for other wii owners- dont get tricked by the hype for 360 games and the hi-def gimmick, the 360 is one of the worst systems this gen.. im just sticking with th epc from now on....

a pic for the non believers :)

Edit: just got back from the Store!!! THANK GOD THEY TOOK IT BACK :D :D :D

now I can spend more money on my wii :)

My Wii broke down yesterday. I only played one game on it. I sold it to an EB games store and they had no idea it was busted.

J/K

Seriously how many bajillions of these threads are we going to get today?

For some reason i don't believe

The fact that you have a naked japaneze guy wearing a mario hat in your sig tells me two things.

1. You didn't buy a 360.

2. You need a new hobby.

thats why you buy a warranty gamestop has it were you pay like $40 and if you system breaks you just take it to gamestop and they will give you a new one and there's more games then just the two you listed mastershake575

40$ MORE? are you kidding me? I have to pay 40$ to make sure the system doesnt break on me!??? thats absolute BULL!! this system wasn't worth it anyways

Okay... While I'mnot a 360 lover I must say that Gears and PGR3 are both great games... I have them both and the Online really adds to it... Also to anyone that Is thinking about it Gears Coop adds a lot to it... I loved Gears on INsane with Friends...

To bad you got the 3 lights of death, but If the Wii is really what you want then play the darn thing

I bought a wii. thought it was gay i was right I returned it.

who wants to play mario pi i mean how many times can kidtindo beat the same dead horse Wow i can't believe people pay money for that!

The three red lights of death part of this story is the best part. Can you say fabricated?

If this is a real story, let me just tell you that you're not a very good writer, because it doesn't sound genuine at all.

So......Excite Truck better than PGR3? .............wow360Makaveli

pgr felt so static in comparison with excite truck- i had a LOT more fun with excite truck because of the wiimote

If the 360 is infact the worst console ever with stupid games, you should go right ahead and throw your overpriced 2 year old toaster that you call a console right out the window. and please, you're comparing excite truck to pgr???! !

plus i find your story a little hard to believe, 3 LOD from the 2nd day?? really??

arent u supposed to be a nintendo fanboy?Your gamertag or your lyingshaggyaz

yeah but theres literally hundereds of gamertags lol...he cud say anything! although i'd like to see the one that only has pgr3, gears and geometry wars :p

Haha I had the exact same experience after buying the wii. Got over the nice features in a couple of hours and went to buy some real games at gamestop. I just stood there looking at the rack for ten minutes and left with nothiong.

You're like one of those people who complains that sex is overrated.

Unlucky for not being able to enjoy.

If this is a real story, let me just tell you that you're not a very good writer, because it doesn't sound genuine at all.

youre friend breaks you out of jail, then you fight some locusts, run to a helicopter and fight more locusts somewhere else and then you get to a giant spider that you kill with a laser beam from teh sky

If you don't like it, tell your parents to take it back.

And get back to school.
