only if you can supply games for it. no point in owning everything when you cant even afford the games for them. i say less consoles more games > more consoles less games

Well. Answer this question for me. Do you have a decently powered PC? Now take that answer and do the opposite on getting the 360 or not. (I.E. If u have a PC then dont get a 360.) Most good games for the 360 are multiplat so ull be able to play them on the Ps3. And if they arnt on the PS3 then the "exclusives" have a high chance to be ported to the PC. So there really isnt a need for you to get a 360, unless u truely just want to buy one.

play some games, see if you like em, then go ahead and buy it, premium or if you like big HDD and the black color, elite. XBL gold if you like playing with friends, if not, just silver. Also, some game recommendations, besides the no brainers like halo, gears and bioshock; ikaruga, alien hominid, rez.

Look for the box that says 175 watts on the side. Smaller chip less wattage, less heat. they all should come with HDMI, except for the arcade model.

definately worth getting .. there are a lot of good games out already and more on the horizon .. quite a wide range of genres too

there are plenty of demos to check out to see which games are your type

paying for xbox live depends on our gaming .. do you play a lot of multiplayer? if you do, then it's worth it

if not, maybe just stick with the free trials that tend to come with some of the games to test it out .. if you don't use it too often, then it might not be worth the money

as for which model .. the premium is fine IMO, but it might be worth paying a bit extra for the elite

Definatly go for a 360, and get Mass Effect, Lost oDyssey, Gears of War etc, you really miss right now

Ninja Gaiden 2 is around the corner too

Any model will do, all models are upgradable to higher ones 100%, that is if you get the core, you can upgrade it later to 100% the Elite functionality, all models have BC (in core you need an extra HDD for that, but is compatible)

So, any model is fine, get the best bundle you find, premium is the best deal IMO
