Guys im on the ledge here. Having a hard time turning over buying an Xbox....

My last two Xbox's crapped out, but all my friends have an Xbox still and i cant help but wanna play Gears. Sadly all i can worry about is buying a third one that will eventually die before its time is up. The 360's past is a great one but the future looks bare and dry. Kinect looks lame and will have nothing to do with the hardcore gaming crowd. All i really see for the Xbox is them pushing the crap out of Kinect and now they really dont have any new games coming. They dropped Bungie, Esemble, Bizzare, and has put Rare to crap work. I'm not hear to hate on the Xbox, my past memories playing online were great ones, i love the community and i played Reach, its fantastic, but whats past this? Is their really anything to look forward to anymore?

I'm mostly interested in the new xbox i might add... but it seems like the games aren't their to feed me to long, exclusive wise anyways.... Please enlighten me, and show me the hope.

Do u have another console already? Seems pretty pointless to replace ur 360 now if u have a PS3 already. But if you don't have one there's the new gears that u said u want to play, so you might as well get one.

You said you have like 15 friends that have 360s? Just get the multiplayer games they have and even ask them for advice. Friends gives better advices than strangers, most of the time. Also if you're playing with friends, it doesn't matter if a game is exclusive or not, because you should be having fun. Also do any of them have the new 360? If not, maybe you should get one so you can show it off to them. :P

I suggest you do, and if you do get an XBox Slim, as I heard it has reduced chances of becoming trash.

From my own gaming, my Xbox has never broke or even malfunctioned once. I have it lifted up on two books and I never turn it on for a second and turn it off (which is supposedly the reason for RRoD). Don't worry about your Xbox breaking, if the majority of your friends have an Xbox then it'll be worth the fun.

Fable III, Halo: Reach, Gears of War 3, RAGE, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit...

Hardcore gaming isn't dead. Xbox 360 will live on.

A ledge is no place to have a discussion about whether you should buy an Xbox or not.

Buy the Arcade its $149 now, and the Jaspers are mostly RRoD free. Treat it nice (space and cooled, don't let it get too hot) and you'll be fine

i thnk u should ask ur friends who have a 360. they could help u with this alot bettr than we can

I don't understand how some people can go threw so many Xboxs. I had a launch Xbox go red ring on me last summer and I sent it back for repair, for no charge. thepoop7

Ignorance my friend, ignorance.
