It's funny that non xbox 360 users feel more ripped off by XBL cost, I had my xbox for 6 years now, I have played around 200 games, and still have a big backlog to go through, the console has given me great experiences, and well I got more used to it's interface and features, so I felt kind of alienated when I got a PS3 and Wii (which are also good consoles) still I felt the game library controller and platform in general was more appealing to me.

link to last in sale? how does a system have better games when the competitor has more high scoring games?

It is common sense that the ps3 has way more exclusives ie a better game library. The fact that the 360 has a couple of better scoring games does not change that fact. The wii has a couple of great scoring games but is not better than the hd twins.

lets see ignored request for link showing 360 last in total sales, then posted an illogical arguement that a couple higher scoring *its actually quite a few more than two* games doesnt mean anything even though more high scoring games means that from a critics standpoint the 360 library is of higher quality.

........

P.S: actually the 360 has more exclusives. The ps3 wins in one area high scoring exclusives and Im not even sure about that since we count DD titles now.

[QUOTE="locopatho"]Got my 360 in 2007 for 400 euros. Came with 3 games and 2 controllers. Live cost me another 200 or so for 5 years. Overall, it's been great. 360 has had the best games this gen, some of the best exclusives in Halo/Gears/Forza, lotsa crazy XBLA games and PC games, the best multiplats, the best controller, the best online, no silly sh!t like friend codes/forced motion controls/mandatory installs/20 minute updates that the other consoles had. I have all three of the 7th gen consoles and 360 is by far my favourite :Djimmyrussle117

pc had better multiplats. just sayin

Course it did. We talking bout the 7th gen of consoles though. 360 is the only one that got acceptable multiplats. Watching my PS3 friends play stuttery horrible Bethesda games and long ass loading/update/install times on many a game made me lol :)

So what have we learned? Everyone except the normal Cows of the forum have stated they enjoyed the 360 and did not feel ripped off. So Cows counter that with stupid arguments instead of accepting the truth. Broken record.

timbers_WSU

No Xbox fanboy will admit theyre being ripped off, even though XBL doesnt cost that much its still a blatant ripp off. why are you people happy for paying a fee just to access apps like youtube and facebook. and have to pay 2 seperate fees to use netflix. cross game chat shouldnt even be discussed since the vita gets that for free.

PS+ is a much better deal. you actualy do "get what you pay for"

I have thought the 360 was a great console and do not feel ripped off at all. I really have no complaints about the 360. As far as consoles go it had the highest rated game collection and the best online.

things is its because people honestly don't feel ripped off, the integrated aspect of Live was and still is superior to PSN, (although the PS4 should address this), the actual online play elements are now both very similar I would agree, I would also agree the value of Live has been diminished by the advancement of PSN and online pricing structure is something I believe both Sony and MS will look at as we go into the next set of consoles, but as it stands the service live provides for the money people pay is satisfactory for most people.

So the 360 came out in 2005. Online costs $50. So in total, many of you spent $450 EXTRA just to game online. How does it feel that you could have used that $450 to put toward something else, like maybe the Kinectbox 720? om28v

I never game online

In fact i wont buy a game if it is online only, like i never bought Diablo 3

Now dispair that i actually have only paid 300$ and played the top games this generation

Yes, I feel ripped off, but not with my 360, I feel I got more than my moneys worth. The PS3 is were I feel ripped off, mine is almost brand new because all the great games are in fact not that great.

The 360 by far has been the #1 console gaming experience offering the best overall single system games library giving the user the biggest bang for the buck so nope, no rip off but now that POS PS3 on the other hand...Yikes, happy I didn't buy that rip off $600 console in 2006. :cool:

Some, but not all. A couple of my friends will never leave the Xbox legion. My bro-in-law is trying to get rid of his 360. A close buddy of mine is considering letting his go for a PS3. They got tired of the Live fee, and were impressed how I could rip media to PS3 and change out the storage with little hassle/cost.

I don't want to start another argument here but that is exactly what I feel when I see people playing some games on something other than Pc.

Best console I have ever owned and it isn't even close.

well, if a kid wasn't born yet when the PS2 shipped, that just means 360 is actually the only console he has ever owned, rendering it to be the "best".

Not me, only had live for about 2 years so it was still cheaper than a launch Ps3 for me personally and i have clocked more than 220 games so i would say my 360 has more than paid for itself.

Didn't pay out of pocket for XBL gold and still running on the first unit, so it's not bad. Wish I have enough time to get more use out of it though.

I own all three this gen. Wii & 360 were gifts. Had PS3 since launch and replaced in 09 with slim. The 360 has the best online functionality. PS3 had the best exclusives. Wii suckered me with the Nintendo exclusives. 360 had the best multiplats. PS3 with its 7.1 surround well had the best sound.

I wonder if we can still have our gold accounts on the 360 as the new console arrives.

So, I read your blog. I am curious about whether or not you really own a 360. A lot of what you mentioned on your blog are true on technicalities; but not in practice. Seems to me they would be points made by someone who really doesn't own a 360, and wants to convince people not to get one. For instance, Most 360s ship with rechargable battery packs; and most 360 controllers that you buy separately have them included as well.

Scratch DVDs as a complaint? Really?

No I don't. Just like how I may not spend money in bars now, I don't regret having done so in the past. I had some great times meeting different people. And the times this Gen I've had on live have been great. I have only bought it when I really wanted to, and now am enjoying a Christmas gift membership, so I didn't pay for it. Why do. People care? If others have a good experience with it, and don't see essentially $5 per month as q big deal, why does it matter, or threaten others?

i feel great. Over 950+ games to play. Excellent online service that did go down for 28 days. Many awesome exclusives that sold millions and millions of copies. I'm still playing awesome games like Halo 4, Bioshock Infinite, Borderlands 2, Dishonored, Trials Evolution, Gears of War 3, Dance Central, Kinect Sport 1 & 2, Metal Gear Rising, VF5, Top Spin 4, Witcher 2 and many, many more incredible games. Not sure how anyone would feel ripoff.

I don't understand why people defend 360's online service so passionately. I borrowed my friends Xbox 360 for a week and the online wasn't so much better that I'd be willing to pay $50 a year for. om28v

Took the PS3, like 2 years before it stopped sucking while the Xbox was in it's prime. Also atleast live users got to actually play online instead of it being dead for a month.

If you own and xbox and don't feel ripped off you probably didn't feel the scrubbing bubbles brush when your brain was being washed
