My PS3 was Laid to Rest This Morning

Last week she was the 2nd to perish in a 3 year span (the first one under warranty). Doctors did all they could do (for a week) to revive her. Cause of death: failure of blu-ray drive. She was survived by 27 games and a silver controller.

As we all gather to mourn this loss, I ask but one thing....

Is it worth getting a 360? And by that, I was wondering if anyone has heard any news or rumors from reputable sources that suggests that the next-box will be here next year? I was thinking of getting Forza, Gears, Madden and probably Halo 4. I have $242 of gamestop credit.

I agree with the above comment.

Unless you can get an xbox slim with a HDD for cheap and then get Halo 4 and some other games like the Mass Effect trilogy would be a good idea.

Also how the hell did you kill two PS3's? Did you cover it in a wool blanket while you were playing? Or is your home just super dusty and its causing the laser to get all dirty and stop working.

I would usually say yes, however it seems like a 360 instead of a PS3 in which case I would say no. I have no interest in debating which is better because they both have their advantages. My biggest concern would be getting rid of all of your games, saves, and accessories on one system and then starting fresh this late into the generation. That being said, if you can find a list of games to make it worth it then, by all means, go for it.

Yes it is still worth getting an Xbox 360 S console. They are inexpensive. Still 14-15 months before the Xbox 720 is on store shelf? So you still have time to game. It is always hard when a console dies on you. But you must game on....

At this point you should just buy wiiu.Heirren

Then you can guarantee the hardware will be out of date inside 18 months when the next gen consoles are released... there is no excuse to buy a WiiU unless you're a raging Nintendo fan or gadget addict

If you've not owned a 360 before then go for it, pick up all the classic games cheap and have a ball until the next gen arrives.

so he should buy a 360 which will be out of date in 1 month?

I'd get an 360 if you don't mind the possibility of the next Xbox coming out around a year from now.

Then I correct my previous statement... you can guarantee the hardware will be out of date by the time you take it out of the box.

Nintendo are joining the current generation of consoles 6 years late and seem to think that all the casuals who bought a Wii are all going to be gagging to upgrade... which won't happen.

If they can still use it for what the need it for why upgrade? That's why they're called casuals... they couldn't care less if there is a slightly better version... any new hardcore gamers they unearthed with the Wii will have already upgraded to a PS3 or 360 when they discovered the Wii wasn't really all that when it came to games... why would they want to go back to Nintendo?

If you can get a used XBOX 360 and a few games for under $300, I'd go for it. Otherwise, just buy a Wii U

Same happened to me, but I already preordered the Halo 4 Xbox, so the decision was easier. I'll be getting a new PS3 eventually, as I have a bunch of games and there are exclusives I want, but the 360 probably isn't a bad idea.

If you don't have a gaming PC you'll be able to get games such as:

• Left 4 Dead
• Witcher 2
• Halo 3, Reach, 4 (and if you want, Halo Wars)
• Gears of War 1, 2, 3
• Forza (the new one looks like a nice mix of arcade and simulator)
• Fable 2, 3

I know I probably missed a bunch, but those are the stand out ones for me. The only issue I have is having to pay for live, but I do like the cross chat, though idk if it's worth the price of live, it is nice.
