Well you picked the perfect time to get a 360 :) Starting Aug.21st with Bioshock it's literally a nonstop assault of promising games (yay).

ummm Advantages?

1.already has a great library of games (I'd recommend checking out GearsofWar,DeadRising,RainbowSixVegas and Oblivion for starters.

2.PERFECT Fall Lineup (Including Bioshock, Halo3, BlueDragon, LostOdyssey, Assasin'sCreed etc etc)

3.Already excellent third-party support which = more great games to come in 2008 and onwards.

4.Xbox Live is pretty much the best console solution to online gaming right now

The only thing negetive of I can think of is the hardware problems....but they should be fixed with the Falcon chipset anytime now :) and for the record:I've had my 360 for over a year with ZERO problems.

Er... Mr Maggot Person deflate your big head and stop calling Hjart06 a fan boy when all you're really doing is describing yourself. Has anyone on this board ever had any probs with their 360? You know, with the 'red ring of death thing?'

Dude 360 is loads of fun the fact that your are getting that upset on an XBox message board really makes you look like a plug. just answer the mans question and kick rocks stupid.

(now back to the main point.)

360 has a great line up of existing titles. This next month is going to be exciting with the Bioshock and blue Dragon. Next month is Halo 3. Xbox live is really the best you really love. a Million people already agree! :D

I live with 3 roommates, and between the 4 of us we own 3 360's. 2 are from launch and 1 is about a year old. In that time frame, we had 1 red-ring-of-semi-death (4 lights instead of 3) on a launch unit but after powering it down for a couple mins it booted back up fine and no problems since. While there is definitely a hardware defect in the 360, it's not nearly as common as people would have you believe.

Cool. Soz about your 36o getting fried but if they fix them for free then I suppose it only means you lose your 36o for like 2 weeks which is better than forever. ;)

The most annoying thing about this is that there is even a spell checker on the forum.

but i guess if you can't spell you cant find a spell checker.

Advantage would be xbox live. Downloadable content for games, multiplayer which raises the replay value of most games. Ya the PS3 may look better stat wise but Microsoft is and always will be a software minded company and without software the best hardware is nothing more than a paper weight.

Everyone has their own idea about what makes a good game. This is why there is always so much conflict over which console is best. There is no right or wrong answer, it all depends on what you like. Personally I like the games linup that came out for my XBOX so i went and bought a 360.

There is a good range of games for the 360, driving, shooting, strategy, RPG, open world, puzzle. Some of the good titles like oblivion, gears, ghost recon, project gotham etc may be older now and not live up to future games but the good news is a lot of these will be available cheap on the pre-owned market.

Enjoy
