RROD is pretty much it, it has exclusives, sure, not everyone will like them, but I can't tell what you like so use reviews, opinions from others and decide for yourself.

I would had never gotten Saints Row(great game) if I listened to those who simply call it a bad GTA rip off.;)

For me it would be the lack of 360 games I want coupled with me not willing to pay for online. I have a gaming PC so the number of 360 games I want are very low.

Paying for online services is absolutely ridiculous. On top of that, lack of interesting exclusives and shoddy hardware.

Usually I look for reasons to get a console, and see how they stack up. But hmm... negatives, I guess would be RROD. After experiencing it, I will wait a while before getting my next 360.

I have a gaming PC but prefer to play most multiplats on the 360, there are tons of PC exclusives to cover me. I've paid $50 on Xbox Live since buying my console August 07. Been Gold since day one & I'm good until the end of next year. I hardly ever pay full price on games or extras (Xbox Live,Points,Etc). Microsoft will give you more than 1 month free if your console fails, that is if you can cuss them & dog them down as good as I can.

Correct, RROD is pretty much it. However its a massive negative though. If I had known before I chose the Xbox 360 that my console would die 5 times I would of waited & saved up for a PS3. Anyone whom during the true RROD era whom bought a PS3 instead, I don't blame you.

That's exactly what I thought. I looked in here to see if the thread has anything interesting since I last posted in it only to find it's a new thread with the exact same topic.

Two reasons. The original one was the RRoD. Why would I buy such shoddy hardware? Now, the reason is moreso that I have a gaming PC and a PS3. The 360 has virtually no other games I care about. The only one I can think of is PD0 and, well, I'll live without it. It's weird- had MS actually gotten the hardware right, I'd probably have neither a gaming PC or a PS3.

RROD and Live Fees

PS3 doesn't have either and it has MGS4 so those are the three reasons I didn't get an xbox, its a good system but those two things are just unacceptable and at this point there isn't anything on it that interests me that I haven't played or will get to play.

It's 2009 April 20th. The number 1 reason at this point would be Xbox720 will be comming out in a few years. If you don't already own an xbox360 might as well save your money for the next gen.

There are two reasons

1. You are short of money

2. You are a sworn PS3 fanboy

But this is the same for all consoles, so noone should ever buy a PS3, 360, WIi again, waiting to see if a next system will arrive in 2-3 years ?

That makes zero sense

1. Online isn't free.

2. Not enough exclusives I'm interested in.

Good morning:

Please do not create duplicate, response, or fad threads.

Fad Topics: Fad topics are not allowed. Creating fad topics will result in suspensions. What is a fad topic? here's an example. A thread is created '10 reasons why Microsoft is a failure' (nothing wrong there) then another thread is created '10 reasons why Halo is failure' (a fad is slowly beginning) then another thread is created '10 reasons why Brawl is a failure' (a fad trend has started). Before we know it there is a whole flood of similar threads with similar wordings.

Cheers,

Boz
