I think I might get the 360. It will be my first console. But after researching it abit, it seems like the console is made in the U.S. which is where I am from, so this helps make my decision. But it does seem that the 360 has more of the games with the AAA reviews on it. I take it that is a good thing. It would also seem that it costs less than the PS3, in my area anyways. At first I looked for a Wii but all of the stores where sold out. So I think I will get the 360 because of it being made in the U.Ss and the AAA thing

Sweet. Wise choice my friend. Anyone else? Come step up to the pulpit! Give yourself into the loving arms...of the XBox 360.

Nope. It's ugly, controller is uncomfortable, and there's too many 12 year olds online.

Two of my friends who only owns a PS3 both bought a 360 recently. Not because of just Halo 3 but because of Madden 08. They played the Madden I rented on my Elite and they were blown away. It took sometime for them to get use to the controls, but after they got use to it, they were sold.

I agree with the first part: I'm waiting for the hardware issues to be fixed. And I can wait for Mass Effect to get the system, that's the game I really want anyway.

The controller feels pretty good in my hands, especially the triggers. As for the 12 year olds..well..play with your friends...mute the sound...or deal with it cause its not like the PS3 or Wii aren't going to have them as well.

MGS4 is the winner for sure. NG2 will be cool but it seems like the original game but refined. MGS4 is a whole new baby.

All set to hit the xbox.

Don't ask for proof, links, or actual confirmation tho. Cause everything I say is a lie.

Except that.

Funny, your profile looks almost as if you're a PS2 fanboy that's never owned an Xbox. Just a coincidence, Mr. Fakeboy?

Bungie injected Halo 3 with 10% more fun juice. Thats double the fun juice of any other game out there right now.

Thank you my friend for believing in a america, this is precisely why I didnt sell out and buy an import sports cars... no the real american dream is owning a corvette and playing xbox 360. Doing so keeps our children well fed an educated. This is why the japanese refuse to buy xbox 360... so I dont know why we would support their economy.

I think I might get the 360. It will be my first console. But after researching it abit, it seems like the console is made in the U.S. which is where I am from, so this helps make my decision. But it does seem that the 360 has more of the games with the AAA reviews on it. I take it that is a good thing. It would also seem that it costs less than the PS3, in my area anyways.

Wow your friends must have a lot of money to burn because when I played Madden on the 360 at my friends house I could hardly tell the difference.

Just tell me when the new hardware is installed and I'm on it. The PS3 could wait another 2 years as far as I'm concerned.

I finally decided to not get a 360 because of this : Inevitable flood of prepubescent online players sure to hamper your enjoyment of the online modes.

Theres no point in having all those nice weapons and game modes if its not going to be fun. And considering that there will be lag and host advantage the whole experience will be destroyed :shock:

Yep, we PC gamers have superior online play 8)

I still thinking about getting the Halo 360...But my wife is really big about me not getting it because of some news thing she watched about it breaking down.

Plus question I was looking at the Halo 360 is that one a good one to pick up with just a 20 meg hard drive?

I remember playing a demo of some Battlefield game I repeat a DEMO and I was being kicked out of the rooms within 4 minutes, it wouldnt have been a big deal if it WASNT ONLINE ONLY....man PC gamers take things to freakin serious.

Pretty much.

I knew I was going to get one at some point, but I figured I would wait until they had a substantial library and another price drop. Halo 3 might be enough to keep me occupied until the other games arrive on its own.

I'll probably buy myself one for Xmas.

Why is that funny? Why else would a great console like the 360 have over 7 mil. sold in the U.S., and less than .50 mil. in Japan? Personally, i think that's a bad way to think, but i guess some people are like that.

No. Don't care for Halo. But I do plan to eventually own one. I really just want one for Mass Effect, but I'm still on the fence about it. Bioshock looks awesome, but Mass Effect is pretty much the only reason. I just don't know if I should spend so much for one game.

no, 360 is doing pretty good and does have a lot of games. but in honesty i'm not feeling the games. Halo and the rest aren't my style and i don't want to pay for online just to enjoy the full game.

You forgot to say that you're being sarcastic, right? Saying MS paid for good reviews is like saying George Bush planned or knew about 9/11. What other conspiracy theories do you believe in?

Xbox 360's are sold out at my local Walmart, and they've never been out of stock (with the exception of the launch period of course).. That should give you some insight.
