hey there all,

 i am considering buying an xbox 360, and i currently have a lot of fun on the xbox. As I'm a poor student, $400 for xbox 360 is about 1/3 of my life savings! Is it worth it? In everyone's opinion, what features of the 360 would justify such a big purchase/is it really that much better than xbox? just wanted to see what people have noticed in their own experience b4 i buy. thanks!

i dont think you should. you sound like your not the type that spends a lot of money on video games. if your tired of your original xbox i say you move on to a ps2. its only $130 and you got plenty of titles to chose from.

In my opinion an Xbox 360 is worth the money. There are alot of good games currently available, so you won't get bored with it. Also its more powerful than an original Xbox. There is alot of original Xbox games that can be played on the Xbox 360, but you need a harddrive.

does anyone know how good the xbox live online play is for the 360? also- i have a ps2 but one reason i'm considering the switch is the graphics. are the 360 graphics a whole lot better? and has anyone been able to buy cheaper, used games for 360?

This is very good advice I think. I do think that the 360 is a huge jump in gaming fun from the xbox though.

except that the ps2 is a step backwards from the xbox. if you like online gaming then you should get a 360, microsofts main strategy has been to improve xbl with the 360, and they have.
