the ONLY 2 reasons to own a 360...

halo and gears of war arethe only 2 games keeping the xbox 360 alive imo. if they were both sony exclusives then xbox 360 would be dead.

Which is why most multiplats sell more on 360.

Nice opinion. I love my 360 and dont really like Halo at all. Gears is great though. But if you owned a 360 you would find there is alot more games that are fun to play. MS has more than those exclusives and dont forget the 360/PC games that are also fun to play.

I bought a 360 for Halo 3 and it was a pretty smart decision. I've beaten all of the PS3's exclusives (ok, most of them) over the course of a few weeks. But Halo 3 has kept me playing it for years now.

I disagree. I enjoyed Alan Wake more than either of those games.

Nope its all about the 1000+ $1 exbox indie games! I have 60 of them! Made by regular people. It was the best idea ever. If only Nintendo and Sony were so cool with their fans to allow great homebrew.

I already have a PC, PS3 and Wii, and today I bought a 120gb 360 Elite ($215), and not for GeoW or Halo, since I don't care for either of those games. The XBLA is fantastic, I love the custom soundtracks being available whenever I want, I don't have to worry what platform a cool new game is going to be on and I can play co-op with my friends/family that have Xboxs. As far as exclusives that I want, its pretty much just Alan Wake, but now I can borrow 360 games instead of having to buy them all, since I'm the only PS3 owner I know.

there are actully some xbox live games I would love to play

I'm a HUGE fan of the Arcade. Everything has demos, there are frequent and highly visible sales, and I buy the points at a discount. I think I have more Arcade games than disc games.

I've beaten hundreds and hundreds of games but I keep going back to Halo. It's just fun.

Since you brought the Ps3 into this what about Fable..Forza.Splintercell.Mass Effect..x-com..crackdown..Alan wake ..Banjo...... lost odyessey......command and conquer..viva pinata....new crysis game..metro 2023.....nintey nine nights2.........X-Box Live....CROSS GAME CHAT!!! espn...netflix without using a disc.....indie games....kinect.....shall I continue.Jamani

wasn't it the ps3 that didn't have a game really worth owning for near 2 years or so?

Nothing worse than a indie game hater. You will never get the brilliance of homebrew. 2 or 3 dudes working together to make a game for us for $1 is what great ideas are made of. At least Ms helps the average joe like that dream a little easier. Those game (like the amazing Miner dig deep and Zombie Estate deserve our 80 Ms points! Long live the indie game (I guess Sony fan boys never dreamed of making anything so you would not understand)

Nice opinion.

One I definitely have to disagree with.

[QUOTE="mojito1988"]

[QUOTE="hellhund"] Kinect looks awful, the indie games are mostly crap but some are only garbage, Netflix with or without a disc is equally great, XBox Live & cross game chat come with an additional price, Ninety-Nine Nights 2 is a sequel to a bad game, viva pinata is a niche game for people that don't like fun, most people are still waiting for a true Banjo game, Alan Wake is disappointingly short, X-Com isn't even out, Mass Effect was FAR better on PC.

Your posts bashing indie games sadden me

Reasons I'd buy a 360 off the top of my head.

Banjo Kazooie, Kameo, Gears of War 1, Geometry Wars, Forza 3, Bayonetta, Snoopy Flying Ace, Shadow Complex, Alan Wake, Rez, Tales of Vesperia, Ikaruga (just so I don't risk ruining my hard copy of it)

That's 12 reasons for me.

However, the reasons I'd buy a PS3 are as follows

Uncharted, Uncharted 2, Fat Princess, Demon's Souls and probably ModNation Racers.

So 4-5 reasons. Now, MGS4 would probably be up there too, but I haven't played through all the games preceding it. I did buy some of them just so I'd have another reason to want a PS3 though.

tl;dr - Differing opinions.

ok TC most ppl have already listed a lot of reasons to own a 360 so i am just gonna say that Halo and Gears have more replay value than all the PS3 exclusives combined. Yeah i know i sound fanboyish but its the truth for me. I have both the PS3 and 360 and mostPS3 exclusives only last about a week for me while I am still playing games like Halo and Gears months after their release.

You manage to completely miss the point of the indie game. Its not that they are better than the 60$ games they are 1$ the point of the indie game is that it does something really cool for the community where the player can make games for the system. By your line of thinking i get that you cannot realize why thats so cool but it really is. People can start here and use it as a spring board into the industy in some cases. Indie games are amazing. I realize that all that people that are narrow see is that they dont look as good as games that are 60 times more expensive, but if you really dwell on the concept its hard not to realize how cool the concept is. (and if you still cannot appreciate it then i just feel sorry for you.)

All 3 consoles are more than worth owning and they all have alot more than 2 reasons to own them.

No, I didn't put it there because I played Gears of War 2 with a friend when it came out. I never played Gears of War 1.

Plus all better quality multiplat games, plus Alan Wake, plus xbox live, plus plus plus. the ONLY reason to read this thread is to laugh at how pointless it is.

There's only one: It has more AAAs, AAs and As than the PS3.

These types of threads are frowned upon. Please don't make them.
