One word:
360.

Does that solve your problem?
Sadly, it's the only option. The Xbox is dead.

Have you played the Prince of Persia Trilogy. Amazing. I was feeling the same way, then played those and it got me back into gaming big time.

There are still many games that I haven't finished for the X-Box --Shenmue 2, Tenchu:Return from Darkness, Half-Life 2, Enter the Matrix, Fable: the lost chapters, etc. To me the only reason for getting the X-box 360 is to play GTA 4 when it comes out. However, that's not to say that the games that are out now are crappy. Bioshock sold really well, as did Halo 3. When I finally get an X-Box 360, I will be picking up Dead Rising, Bioshock and RE 5 along with GTA 4.

Take a break from it for a while. Or go back and play a game that you really enjoyed.

That's the main thing missing on PS3-no Halos

I got a 360. It helped with the feeling you are experiencing. But, different strokes for different folks.

Yep, that usually works. OP, you probably play it a lot right? That might explain why, since you're playing it so much that know matter what game you play, you get bored.

I've done what is mentioned in the quote with my Xbox & GC and got back to playing them normally after a month of not playing them.

Same here. I go in cycles where I'm just not interested in playing. A lot of times, I wil then see a friend playing a game and then I will be interested in playing the game, and I'll start back into playing.

Never! Well, maybe not never, but it won't be for another couple of years, hopefully.

Since you bought an xbox. Im assuming that you have the Same interests for shooters,Racing, and Role-playing. Then you should get and Xbox 360 or a Ps3. But I think hat you should get and Xbox 360 first then a Ps3 Later.

The Xbox still has a lot to offer, but too much of anything isn't very pleasurable in the end. Only you will know if that is the case.

I can't help but think that Microsoft is missing out on making versions of games for the old Xbox like Sony does for their PS2; I mean, they have their new hardware out, but they still address the owners/users/people-who-spent-a-lot-of-money-on-them of the old hardware. There's something exceedingly unfair about MS just completely snubbing their own hardware the way they did/do the original Xbox.

It's also ironic when this action is taken by a company that prides itself on ensuring backwards-compatibility on their operating systems, particularly with regard to Windows XP and (to a lesser extent) Vista.

If you're really, truly, definitively bored with your Xbox, personally, I would not waste money on either an Xbox 360 OR a PS3; I would find myself a nice little PC to make a game box/media center (which, yes, you can do with the Xbox, but if push comes to shove, you will be able to upgrade the PC--and this you cannot and will not be able to do with either the Xbox 360 or the PS3).

That's simply the way they're designed: profit-friendly and user-antagonistic. My opinion, of course.

The thing is, though, that upgrading a PC can get very pricey. Consoles are good to go, theoretically.

I don't know. NG didn't really get me that involved. I'm not skilled at combos and the such, and so I had great difficuly with getting enough orbs to buy things at the shop...
