Honestly, at times, yes I have. Don't get me wrong. The games are great but in my experience the hardware's reliability is suspect at best. I've had numerous issues and each one gets me closer and closer to selling it. In the end I probably wouldn't but everyone has their breaking point. There are really only two games that I'm dying to have for it and those games are Fable 2 and Mass Effect. Those games are about 99% of why I deal with the hardware issues.

My Xbox 360 is the my center hub for my entertainment. I stream music through it from my PC to my surround sound system. I watch all my movies on it as well. The ability to playback .wmv and .mp4 files make it easy to watch my favorite animes. Did I mention I play games on it daily? Nope, I have not regretted buying my Xbox 360 as of yet. (Don't think I only play Xbox, I like my PS2 just as much.)

no even though mines being repaired right now, pretty much every game i have is exclusive to xbox 360, i only have shadowrun, guitar hero, and my friends borrowing saints row, and my brother has project 8 but that game is ass. i have had other games but traded them in to get all my current games. i probably wouldnt have any good games right now if i had any other system, but id at least be playing it though, the only thing i dont like about 360 is reliability which will probably be fixed with the new chipset

I regretted it only on the day I bought it because I didn't check the BC list and realised too late I couldn't play Panzer Dragoon Orta. But then I got completely sucked into Oblivion and forgot about it. I even traded away Orta...

A few months later the 360 BC list included Orta..

DAMNIT!

But yeah, only for a day :)

i regret buying my 360 only for the fact that i could have used it to upgrade my PC and for more pizza and beer. But hey, money is a renewable resource and you only live once so i bought it for the enjoyment. I'll upgrade my PC later once the good titles are released and ill sell my plasma for pizza and beer

Yea I regret it atleast 2 days per week due to when I get the disc read error and when I look at my disk I start to see the "rings of death" on all my discs. Screw the 3 year plan and 65nm CPU, I just want Microsoft to make a decent dvd drive (honestly I bought a 26 dollar dvd burner and I never in my life had a disc scratched) for once. I mean one would think that the issues (some) of the drives cause is like basic "DVD manufacturing 101". As you can see today (Tuesday) was one of those 2 days.

i'm just waiting for the day when all my discs are ruined with the same exact pattern so I can join that class action suit with that guy..

There have been a few times, yes.

  • There was an occasion when for a few months there was nothing I wanted to play on the 360, nothing at all.
  • When I initially got my 360, I got it with Oblivion. As you all know Oblivion is extremely unstable. I kept thinking to myself, "I bought a console for this?"
  • Back in May I made out a list of 360 games I planned on buying in the future. To my surprise, most of them were also on PC. I was half-tempted to sell the 360 and just be a PC gamer.

PS3 looks interesting and sometimes I think I want one. Then I realise that it goes against everything I satnd for to buy one for 600 euros. And when I think about it, the only games on PS3 that I would like to have are multiplatform anyway. I couldn''t care less about mGS4 and I wouldn't want to miss out on Mass Effect and that's xbox exlcusive.

i bought a 360 before gears came out...and everyone was like "ps3 is the bomb" ...and i remember i red a topic " why are there so many 360 fanboys in the ps3 forum" and a guy replied " cuz they couldnt wait and bought a 360 instead of a ps3" man seriously i gave my 360 back so that i couldbuy a ps3 later...andlater i bought a 360 again after 9 friggin months because 360 has alot more to offer...

I have a little, because I bought it around September last year, if I waited a bit longer, then I could've just got an Elite (It may just be coming out in Europe in August, but hell, I hopefully coulod've waited that long).

After being on my third one, I started to have regrets. But MS is fixing the problem. Losing a billion might not seem a lot for them, but this is a world wide issue, and they need to fix the problem, if they ever want their gaming department to become profitable, because it does have the capability of bringing a lot of revenue. Thats why they decided to get in this business. Having my new elite, which has the heatsink, works very well. Theres no problems and there is actually cool air that comes out of the vent on the side. The back still gets warm, but thats a good sign, less heat in the console. Some guy on the xbox.com forum even tested the heat on his consoles with a heatgun. His old one would get as hot as 140 degrees after playing two hours. His new one, with the heatsink has a temperature of 118 degrees after two hours of gameplay. That shows that the new heatsinks are working pretty well. I think MS is doing their job to fix this. Even though I am on my 3rd, I am still happy to own one.

Regret? Are you kidding me?! I get daily use out of the best console on the market. It's lineup is unbelievable, and the last year and half produced solid titles, I own 22 360 games. It is one of the top 3 purchases I ever made (PC, TV, 360)

......6/10/07 is when it happened......That was the night that I fell victim to the 3 rings of death out of nowhere.....(I Call It THE RED LIGT SPECIAL)I must admit that I did kind of see it coming from a far distance because I have had my system since launch back in Nov 05. So with that said I figured that it was only a matter of time until it happened to me but I had no ideal that it would have arrived so suddenly...

It came out of nowhere like a stray bullet that exploded to my console. I have read forums on here about random people that have been attacked by this same plague but I had no I deal how it exactly happens to people until it happened to me. Mind youI had played my system earlier that morning with no problems...But around 10:30 pm I went to turn it on and then it happened. There was no warning that my system would crash or anything. It left me rather upset actually because in this same month I was contacted by Microsoft in regards to extending my warranty for my 360. At first I was not going to extend it because like I said earlier that I have had my system since launch and there were no problems, but from reading about all of these 360's having the whole red light special I decided to spend the 20 bucks and extend it for an extra year...Just in case...And long behold just as soon as I extend the warranty THIS HAPPENS...It kind of feels like a conspiracy to me

Don't start flaming me now OK because I love my 360, I wouldn't have brought one if I wasn't a fan but its just sad to see your systems being shipped of to the Microsoft Hospital via UPS and there wasn't and thing that you could do about it to PREVENT THE Problem From Happening To You. I take good care of all my systems : PS3, WII, 360...I kept them in cool places etc... and again I felt helpless when the red lights blinded me. I called Microsoft and we went trough the trouble shooting steps but to no avail...Now my 360 must take its journey to rehab for a slow but steady recovery. While I was on the phone with the Microsoft tech i told him since I cant play my 360 I guess I will have to play my PS3 and he busted out laughing so with that said I was at least glad that I could put a smile on someone else's face that evening.

I was pissed when my first one died, but it was only a question of if I would wait before getting it fixed, get it fixed then, or just buy a new one.

And then they gave me my money back so I was happy. Im conclusion: No.

I swear never. If a person comes to give me his PS3 for free for my 360, I will NEVER trade it. Not with the games I have and the games that are coming out this year.

The current price drop, howmuch quieter my brother's 360's dvd drive is, and purchasing MS's three year extended warranty when eventually they make it the standard are all reasons I regret getting my system early. The curse of adopting the system early. Although with the regular xbox, mine was quieter than my brother's when mine was plain and his the halo edition. I'll check that one up to karma I guess.

And I don't regret having it since launch day, because:

1. It'll worth a lot in 20 years (oooooh, a day one 360!!!! how cool!!!) :lol:

2. the +1000 hours of pure video game pleasure are priceless, they are here!

3. I'd never have this +38k GS :D

Just once... After I bought it I got bored of the games pretty quick and I actually played my PS2 for about a month since no games were coming that caught my interest. But that quickly died down and I love my 360:)

I've never been a fanboy before.. but this system has made me mark out big time. When I went to buy it I felt like I might be making a big mistake.. I thought it was lame when it first launched.. so after maybe 8 months after launch I started seeing some good reviews and what not of the system and went out and got it.. everything has been awesome since. Like some of these other guys have said its the most important device right behind out cars. I stream music, videos.. play online with my friends.. I'm fortunate enough to never have gotten the 3 red lights.. knock on wood.. I just sold my Premium system to a friend and I went and bought an Elite.. so far so good... I re-downloaded all my XBLA games and they work great.. I'm always connected to the net so it's not a big deal not being able to play them signed out of live.. still have my gamer score intact as well and now I have an elite and a good friend with xbox live.. it makes all the difference in the world. I don't think I would enjoy the system nearly as much if it weren't for Live. The only regret I had was spending $500 at the time of purchase.. (system + controler + game).. but that went away as soon as I started using the system. I think it really appeals to the hardcore and older demographic... with all the classic arcade titles and what not.. I'm 28 and the XBLA is like a slice of heaven to me. Oh well enough gushing about it....

Sometimes I regret it and thought "should've waited for the PS3" but when I joined xbox live it changed....but after the free 2 months expired it changed once more.GTA 4 was suppose to make me buy a PS3 (hearing about its own "exclusive" storyline and extras)but since its been delayed I wont buy one.The consoles don't really matter to me as long as I can play it on a SD tv im fine. Remember when Judge Dread was coming out for the Sega Genisis?pepridge farm remembers. Remember when Sega got the brand new Sega Channel?pepridge farm rememebers. Remember when games cost 30$ at most? pepridge farm remembers. LONG LIVE PEPRIDGE FARM(and sega)

Don't regret it at all - but the 360 is the first next gen that didn't really feel very next gen. I think that gaming has advanced to a point that the massive jumps in technology are over. Now its a bit of a graphics war...something that doesn't really interest me.

I regretted a little when the PS3 droped in price. With it's ability to play Blu-Ray, connect wirelessly, and it's massive collection of games. But I'm not one to dwell on such things. I made my choice and I'll live with it.
