Is it worth getting an x360?

I'm thinking about picking one up.  It'll probably be the elite when I do.  But, since I've waited this long to get one...wont I be at a disadvantage to those who had theirs since launch.  Like say I want to play GOW online.  I know that I'll get dominated because I'll just be learning how to play.  Does Live have newbie rooms where advanced players can't join?  I don't want to get it if I'm going to loose every multilayer game there is.  Whats the fun in that?

There are player matches and there are ranked matches. Play in player matches until you can actually aim properly. And yes, you will get owned a lot in Gears. killercuts3

What's the difference of a 'player match' than other matches?

I would think that ppl that have more skill would go into these rooms and smoke everybody just for kicks.

Deffinately worth getting a Xbox 360 I own all 3 consoles play the Xbox the most cause it has the best online and alot of good games to play at the moment. Alidude3

Ya I plan on getting all three too at some point.  360 seems like the way to go at the moment for me.

You are wasting time here.  Go buy it and then thank us when you do.

 Do it.

I just got my box it is so worth it.geneticlone

Do you find online games hard to play because of your skill level?

i shared the same concern, and it is worth it. I get my ass handed to me in Gears, but when you get that kill, your team will even cheer for you. at least the guys ive played with. I normally, just get in, and say, guys, im new, just to let you know why i cant kill anyone. and the laugh and cheer you on.

Rainbow 6 Vegas is a GREAT online game for your system, awesome online, and its got a good learning curve. i started killing people without many issues after only a few hours.

as for what system, i would suggest the Elite. Thats the one i picked up. its a great system, looks awesome, and if you got the HDMI on your TV, it is the one you want. the 120gig HD for only another 60 bucks is well worth the coin.

its worth getting a 360 it has amazing games out and on the way. the online is the best out of the consloles tooD3monXg

Yeah I know it has good games.  I just wanted to know if being a novice takes away from the fun.

You'll probably get owned at first.  As you play and get progressivly better and start getting your kills it gets so much more fun.  Going through the online learning curve really isn't that bad though.

Yes dude buy one. i like the 360 alot and do buy the elite

and also, you won;t be put into any advanced players like some other people but you'll be put into a friendly match.

When you play gears just play through the campaign on hardcore and then insane difficulties, that's what I did when I first got the game, lots of easy achievement points (especially if you do co-op) and you'll learn how to play the game and stay alive online. It plays differently then other shooters, so you'll have to get used to it. Also get Rainbow Six Vegas, it plays kinda similar to gears but it is a little and easier to get used to if your new. I just got the game a week ago but I already usually lead every match I play for kills. It also has a cool ranking system for the online mode, that gives you cooler weapons and customization options for your character. And it doesn't take that long to level up (at least the first two times).

Also get some of the arcade games, some of them like jetpac are just amazing games, especially for the price. You can play them online too, but there's usually no one to play against unless you play catan. It's also great how you can play them really quick in 5-15 minute sessions if you want.
