Xbox 360 slim is the perfect console if you only care about the games.

It's only 199 and it has 4gb storage. I personally have a large HDD on my 360 but I don't really download dlc or store music or videos or do installs. I just play games.

I was actually planning on getting one. the 4GB but then decided not to seeing how many games PS3 is getting from exclusives to multiplats not to mention some of the games got huge limited editions. i'd rather save up for the games. maybe when its $49 :P

If you only care about games, then wouldn't all consoles be perfect in some way?

I'm sticking with my Elite for the next while, as it's been awesome. The new S model looks sweet though.

I'm talking about cost ratio here.

I can understand that then. 360 offers a lot of great games for the $200 mark. Still the lack of a HDD really hurts it for myself. I'd much rather pay the extra.

4GB is small.siLVURcross

I said if you only care about games. 4gb is plenty for game saves.

imo, the 360 is at its best when it's the only system you have, due to its vast selection of multiplats. but if you start getting more systems, the 360 starts losing a lot of its value

If you really care about gaming that much get a PC.

Depends on what your gonna use it as, and as an entry into HD gaming its a perfect choice. A really good move on MS's part.

Edit - Oh and I did play online back when they gave me 3 months free. :) (They just replace the file for the dashboard and stuff, so it takes no space ) Sad they raiased the price on LIVE.

well i had a 360 and i must say the PS3 is the same thing except the PS3 has exclusives that matter (other then halo) and a bluray player. so in my mind the PS3 is the system to have.

The DS Lite is $140 and has a huge library of all different genres. XBOX mainly has FPSs and Racing games. Get a DS for a large choice of games.

I can't beleive I'm going to buy a console for only 1 game, and 1 game only. That game is Gears of War 3.

I had a 360 before (as you can see in my sig), but likemost 360's mine broke 4 times and Microsoft stopped fixing it for free. I now have had a PS3 Slim for 1 year and it still sounds exactly like the day I bought it

4 gb storage isn't enough for any game this generation, even if its just for games.... and if you are gamer don't you get DLC, Demo, and XBLA games? The TC logic doesn't make senseDiviniuz

I think I have more than 4gb on game patches and saves alone.

Don't forget you can use USB flash drives now too. I formatted half my cheap 16 GB flash drive for 360 use, and kept the rest for regular use.

[QUOTE="Diviniuz"][QUOTE="hayato_"] I've played about 10 games and can probably play 10 more and I don't even have 4 gigs. (I have the 2nd version arcade models) It makes sense to me. Guppy507

[QUOTE="Guppy507"]

[QUOTE="Diviniuz"] Really? I don't use a lot of space, but its certainly more than 4 gb. How many XBLA games do you have? DLC takes up a decent amount too. I do have a couple games installed, but If I deleted them I would still be over. I still think 4 gb is too smallhayato_

Hm. I've played FPSs on console and PC. I think I like PC just a bit better.

You can have quality games on the Ds as well :|

Eh, can't play Uncharted, Demon's Souls, Killzone, LBP, Heavy Rain, or Infamous, or ModNation Racers on a 360s.

$199 is not worth it for only 4GB. If there is a repeat of last Christmas's deals on the Arcade then it's probably worth it, but only as a 2nd system if you already have a PS3/Wii/XBOX. $199 has basically been the price of the arcade forever, and the fact that it's a "slim" does;t make the deal any better.

Last holidays it was pretty common to see them $149 or at least $199 with a $50 gift card thrown in. Heck wal-mart even had a deal where it was $199 with a $100 gift card, and unlike most black friday deals this one lasted a few days before selling out. If there's anything like that on the 4GB I'll probably finally go ahead and pick one up.

Not really both my 360 and my ps3 have their hdd filled with a lot more than 4gb AND I play my ps3 more too.

I like to install games, and so I go for the model with the HDD. I have the Halo Reach Limited Edition console preordered at Gamestop. I can't wait for this Monday night :)

You can still experience great titles that don't cost $50-$60 bucks. You can get a DS Lite and buy quality titles for half that price.
