I'm planning on buying a X360 by the end of 2009. But do you think it'll be pretty late to get one then? Do you thinkI should wait for next Xbox? Do you think it'll be compatible with all 360 or only some of them like the original Xbox?

I'd say to get it. There's no reason not to. Microsoft said something about the 360's lifespan being around seven or something years - which will take it up to 2012. This generation of consoles will be around for a good while, so it's worth getting.

Apparently, I just googled a bit and found out that it'll have a 10 year lifespan?

I dont get these post. If you want it get it if you don't don't. If you feel like waiting another 2 or 3 years do that. Obviously you either A.)Have an older system or B.)Have no system... In which case its about time to upgrade...

Late? No way.

Really, you're gonna get the best deals now. You can find all the great games from 2005-2007 for real cheap and you're gonna get the latest Xbox360 hardware, which is much more reliable than it was in the past. Also, for $300, you'll now get a 60GB harddrive, wireless controller, headset, component cables, and an ethernet cable, while back in the day, $300 only got you a wired controller and composite cables.

Why would it be too late??? You will have the opportunity to play all the new games as well as pay little to nothing for those awesome older games most of us paid top dollar for.

It's a great time to get a 360 - they have fallen a lot in price, and there is a big catalogue of really good games to pick from.

What do you mean you dont get these posts. The person is wondering whether or not to go and buy a expensive system. They dont want to buy it and then have a new system come out in a year or two and be sol. Obviously this person is asking people on here how long the lifespan is.

its not too late but it is kinda, the next xbox is expected mid 2012, but i doubt you want to wait that long so you might as well pick up a cheap second hand xbox.

They want the 360 to have a decent lifespan and it could very well be cheaper by the end of the year. So no.

You seems to be quite the typical haters too if you can't see some 360 games(aside halo3 and gears) are betterthen some ps3 games. Same with PS3 which have some games better then some 360 games.

Nope its NEVER too late. MS has stated they are only half way through the gen, while the PS3 has a great set of exclusives so does the 360. Its cheap too and theres three potential AAAE games coming at the end of the year.

Why do people always ask silly questions like this? It's never too late to own a current-gen console. Hell, later is better because many of the best games are already bargain priced.

Exactly. It's never too late as long as there are games you want to play. Unless it's an online game where the community is completely dead I guess.
