You should buy a 360 to tie yourself over for a PS3. That's a good deal.

I had my XBOX 360 since launch day. No problems at all. I also had a PS2 and an XBOX. The graphics on the 360 are realistic. Trust me. Especially PGR3, Quake 4, COD2, and FNR3.

I don't have a 360, so I can't fully help you, but..... There have been issues where the 360 has overheated or you get the dreaded "ring of death", but theres a small chance of it happening to you. Plenty of people have reported no problems whatsoever ( and they got theirs at launch). As for graphics.......AMAZING! The PS3 is reported to have almost the same graphics, but I don't think you have to worry about the price range. Basically......if you like the games that are available and are upcoming, go for it. The games are what makes the console fun. Good Luck!

Always consider if one system has more of the games you like, no point in getting a system if you get bored with it due to limited games of your liking and with such a limited selection right now that's always possible. But the arcade section in the 360 really has made it for me. Even if I don't find time for a week to really sit down and play a good couple hours of a full game I still always find time for some quick games of Zuma off xbox live arcade or the occasional new demo.

The 360 is amazing, and yes I will also buy a PS3 when it comes out. I like variety. My 360 has been wonderful since Nov. 22nd 2005. No problems yet.

considering xbox is more powerful than PS2 and 360 is much more powerful than xbox the answer is hell yes the graphics are much better, and if you could find one buy it. Oh and to answer your other question I have had no problems with ma 360 like it has been said many times only about 3% of systems have problems.

Noone knows the price of the ps3, all you're hearing is people's opinions on what they think the price will be but in reality they don't know ****, sony hasn't even hinted at a price and it definetly won't be as high as $700 because then noone would buy it. You can get a 360 now and still get a ps3 when that comes out if the mood fits you, thats what I'm gonna do.

Call of Duty 2 is a really good shooter, perfect dark isn't all that great. I'm getting more disappointed each time I play it. Condemned is really fun but it's melee weapons more than shooting.

Ive enjoyed mine.  Have brought it to many friends house so I got a carry case for it.  I usually go out to bars on the weekends but now we have been buying cases of beer and playing Madden or other sports games.

Now I prefer the Xbox360, but I want to plainly say taht I don't believe the PS3 will be $700, my prediction from the beginning was $500, and with new developments I am leaning to the $600 side.

Yeah it might be expensive, but not like $700. The 360 is expensive so it can be around $400, I don't see it going any higher than like $480 because of everything it has to offer. Sony knows just like every other company that if you put a system at over $500 (3do) that its gonna bomb.

Your not very well informed are you............ Those aren't always the users fault, nor are your solutions completely right. They are right some of the time, but there have been many cases where its the hardware, not the user.

I agree get the Xbox 360 primari;y. Personally i want 360 and PS3 but until the ps3 shows gameplay rather than alleged real time inm not giving them the time of day becuase even real time can be made to look as fake as CGI becuase the player models can be edited to be more detailed and various other things but i do not want to go into the details, also the only proof of realtime is MGS 4 which i personally am im partial about.Also by having full backwards compatibilty PS3 are comprimising a few things so it would have been better for them to

U wanted a suggestion of game to get I woul actuaaly suggest you get some of the normal Xbox game 4 1st person shootin i.e the all time great Halo 2 and 1 + ninja gaiden black i believe you have missed out buy joining xbox so late becuase there a re so many brilliant games you will never be able to play such great games like Jet Set Radio Future i would quote more but i dont want you to drwon i a sea of text :P

no one knows for sure until the PS3 is released just to be fair.  However, stats online seem to show the 360 specs as out preforming the PS3 by a landslide.  It will come down to software and blue ray for the PS3.

If you have 640 dollars, spending it on the 360 Premium and Xbox Live would be, in my opinion, money well spent.  Add a Gamefly rental and you'll have games all year.

Or you could wait for the ps3.  No official price, no official release date, no official nothing.  I doubt Sony will make a crappy console, but MS has one on the market right now that is a really great experience.  You want to go through most of 2006 playing on your ps2?

It does look better than PS2 and Xbox games on SDTV but its not a huge difference. Now on a HDTV the 360 truly owns all. Not even the best PC out there can match the graphics in some 360 games. So if you do get this system you'll seriously want to consider getting and HDTV within the next year.

Your not very well informed are you............ Those aren't always the users fault, nor are your solutions completely right. They are right some of the time, but there have been many cases where its the hardware, not the user.

Actually he is well informed. A full ring means loose AV cable. You needed to say 3 red lights not a full ring... 3 red lights is a hardware error. Overheating is not a problem if you use common sence. Hardware fails but does not overheat on its own. Your lumping all hardware errors in with overheating. That is a mistake.

should i get a 360.because i only have 640$ and ppl are sayin ps3's gonna cost like 700$ so i was just wondering do your guys 360's have any problems?and are the graphics still better then a ps2 even if you dont have an hd?and sorry if this is the wrong forum but plz respondsolomonrz88

PS3 will be so late to come that you do not want to keep those money and not get a xbox 360+Oblivion. Trust me, Oblivion is the single best thing that will happen to gaming and it lastst 200+ hours too. So just do it. I am sure by the time ps3 comes (christmas i suppose) you will have summed up the money to buy it. It will be 400-500$ i suppose, because if it is more it would mean game over for sony !!

Well you will notice a huge difference in PS2 and 360 graphics. And I think you should spend that $600+ on the 360 Elite because you're basically getting everything that you'll need, and all you got to do is get a game or 2 and an Xbox Live subscription and you're set!
