Give me some reasons why I should buy a 360. Keep in mind that I HATE dual analog FPS's.

It has games. Thats the only reason a gamer needs to buy a console. Though i don't know if it has the games you like.

Buy one as a dual function room heater + games console. Combined with its ability to scare birds away from your newly planted lawn with its jet engine like fans and DVD drive it really is the only choice.

i think you are talking about ps3...and not 360...coz 360 has ONLY ONLY ONLY FPS...no variety...like 80 percent is fps...and the rest is sports action etc etc....

Contra, Sonic, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Bomberman Live, Worms etc etc alot of good old games....and thats just arcade, theres alot of great xbox 360 games aswell....if you are racing or Shooting fan then you should just buy 360 without thinking, iur an RPG fan then currently i think out of all 2 next gen and 1 new gen (Wii) console, 360 has the most RPG's.....the only thing 360 lacks is games like Mario or Ratchet and clank....

There's probably gonna be Ninja Dog mode (easy) for those who find it too difficult. And NG2 is most likely going to be pussified down for teh casuals.

Except Forza 2, Dead Rising, Kameo, PGR4, Viva Pinata, DOA4, VF5, TDU, Crackdown, most XBLA titles, Ace Combat 6, Enternal sonata, LO, Blue Dragon, Oblivion, ME, Alan Wake and a whole host of other non-shooters it only has shooters, I agree.

Thus likely better on 360 (using 98% of current MP's released so far as a reason for this assumption).

It will eventually be on PS3... Months later and most likely lower quality judging from past experience.

Every one of the 360's exclusive AAA games are shooters(first or third) except for one (Forza). The 360 is a shooter console. The rest are mainly racing and sports games that can be found on the PS3 as well.

98%??? Bull. Some are better on 360, some on PS3. Oblivion is better on PS3. So is the darkness. RS: Vegas is better on 360 as are the EA Sports games (due to EA's incompetence).

i dont own a 360 yet . i just rented one from walmart be4 i returned it and got my money back to wait on the 65nm chip.

but i rented a few 360 games heres ones i thought was good. condemned,lost planet,saints row, dead rising,candc 3,lord of the rings battle for mittle earth,enchanted arms,cod 2,crackdown for halo3 beta:P,nfs most wanted,test drive,burnout,the kemeo demo when i first hooked up my 360 made me think now this is next gen graphics..i also rented gears of war but i didnt like that game.

i didnt buy any arcade games cause i knew i was taking it back. but i did play the free trails u get for each game.

u should do what i did buy ur 360 at walmart u get 90 days to test it and see if u like it. then u can return it get full cash refund no questions asked.

i loved it but just a little scared of the prod rummors and a rummord price drop so im waiting till the time is right be4 i buy it to keep 4ever. which will be a black friday deal or christmas bundle or even a new years deal.

RPGs that cover a wider range than any console not just JRPGs with awful FF style gameplay. RTS games that are the embodiment of casual. XBL Arcade with Castlecrashers=best DC in town. Racers galore. Mostly great sports games.

Thats not true. Theres pleanty of non-shooter games that are great on 360.
