Why would you go with the Xbox 360 at this point?

The hardware? shotty at best

The games? you could make an argument with that back cataloug, but you could also make a solid one for the PS3 that way, and an even more solid one if you look at the upcoming PS3 titles

The online? The best argument for that $60 a year is party chat? I can get another game and play that online with my PS3 for that cash

I'm a multi-console owner myself, but the last 360 game I picked up was Rock Band 3...and thats only because I've invested far too much into that platform to change it to the PS3. what is there on the horizion besides gears to make a prospective buyer want the Xbox?

Onlive service where I feel my personal info is secure and safe, and the superior controller.

Gears of War 3 isn't on any other platform.

Same reasons as always, Better game catalog, better online, better controller, no need to install every single damn thing you want to play, cheaper. What other reasons do you need?fastr

Halo, Gears, cross-game chat. I guess that's enough for a lot of people out there.Cherokee_Jack

price,jrpgs,halo,gears,fable,alan wake,first dlc,party chat with more secure online,party chat,better multiplatforms and arguably better controller.

also casuals love kinect

If I'm MS, I'm happy 'cause I'm making bank. If I'm an MS customer, I'm slightly perturbed, but Gears 3 should be good.

Lets be honest, the only SKU any of us would go for that is being produced now is the one that comes with the 250GB hard drive. don't use cheaper as an excuse unless you think you would live with 4GBs.

And how much of that wide selection of XBLA games is actualy multiplatform? quite a bit

Why would anyone buy a PS3?

The exclusives are irrelevant and do not sell, the online service is sub par art best and the controller is a dinosaur at this point.
People saying the exclusives are better or worse is simply opinion and has no relevancy in this debate. The rest of what I said is FACT!

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"]Halo, Gears, cross-game chat. I guess that's enough for a lot of people out there.i3DS

Last I checked the 360 costs just as much as the PS3, if you want a hard drive for all those XBLA games.

I would go into Xbox Live Gold too, but I'll spare you.

Maybe the exclusives are subjective, but at least they are coming out. not to mention they obviously sell enough, since most of them have seen a sequal.

As for the controller, sure the design is old, why fix what isn't broken or don't screw with something that works. take your pick on which one you want

Irrelevant point for consumers, this isn't a discussion about sony stock.

Having to manage DLC files and demos and deleting everything just so you don't run out of space to get some new map packs is a terrible way of living.

I'll my self in the shoes if someone who has no console.

Someone asks me:

Why are you buying a Xbox 360?

So I can play ______________online with my friends..

/thread

That's what you call a legit answer. If PS3 were the more popular system and the roles were reversed, the Xbox 360 would be dead.

The hardware? shotty at best

It's not 2006 anymore. The Xbox 360's hardware is fine.

Unlike PS3 users, you can live with 4GB flash memory on an XBOX 360.

My 360 days are quickly turning into PS3 gaming days. I'm buying all my multi-plats for PS3 this year and cancelling my X-box Live. I find no reason to pay for X-box live anymore, especially since I don't use party-chat very often. Every since they moved Netflix onto PS3 and Wii, my interest in my 360 has been waning. Halo Reach got old and I don't really care about Kinect or any of the other 360 exclusives.

I guess if you're a really big Halo or Gears fan. I own all 3 consoles, but I mainly just own my 360 for Halo.

To support American/Western corporation and because it's cooler-looking. w00t.

Hey look! It's Game21x! Everyone call him a lemming and watch the hilarity ensue!

[QUOTE="darkspineslayer"] And where do you plan to put all those supposed XBLA games and early DLC with such a small amount of space. you don't need a huge harddrive on either console if your just doing savegamesdarkspineslayer

Yeah ok, I jumped in during 2009. tell that to my 3 dead 360sdarkspineslayer

It's irrelevant man. 360 is the best, and to think otherwise is pure ignorance. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to spend 60$ on LIVE cards so I can watch Netflix.

Why wouldn't you...?

[QUOTE="darkspineslayer"][QUOTE="i3DS"] You can use USB flash drive for storage.
