You might be waiting quite a couple years. Nothing has even been released about a next Xbox. I say you just buy a 360 since you could be waiting up to two to four years. Just a rough estimate.

Get it now. No news or even rumours about a new console being developed. Not worth the wait. Plus great deals now, or if you wait till christmas, you'll get best deals most likely:P

Just get a 360 dude. The next gen is still probably at least 3 or 4 years away so there's no reason to wait. At only $299.99 I'd say the Elite is definitely worth it.

Yeah why would you wait years and years for a new Xbox? And we all know launch games are nothing special.. so that's even more waiting. Just do yourself a favor and get one now unless you wanna miss out on some serious gaming.

I think this is the best time to get an xbox actually, they have limited the RROD and have given a price reduction on the Elite. So in that case I would recommend the Elite, if you can wait, they are putting out a special COD: Modern Warfare 2 Elite system.

go ahead and buy one. Itll be at least 2012 before another xbox is even considered, and ive heard alot that microsoft is really considering a 10 yr life span for the 360, so do u really wanna wait till 2015?

You should definately wait it out. The sky may be dark, but with time it'll clear.

It will probably be longer than just a couple of years before a new console hits shelves. It's your money, do what you want with it.

Not sure how much fact is behind it, but I heard that Project Natal was going to be the "Next Gen" for the 360. Instead of having the 10 year cycle Sony has or w/e, they're just going to extend the 360 with Natal. If that's true, then I'd say go ahead and pick it up. There is no reason not to at least.

As for the system, just depends on how much money you want to spend. Try to make sure it has a Jasper GPU to help avoid the red ring of death, however.

I would. Just got the PS3 about a month ago and it's great - I have access to a host of top exclusives that are now as cheap as £10. The same will be true for the Xbox 360.

downloading movies, music, XBL games.

If I didn't buy dvd's I would absolutely fill my HDD. and that's exactly what microsoft is aiming for.

I have a 60GB HD with saves from over 200 games, regularly keep 4 to 5 games installed, over 25 XBLA games, 1 Games On Demand game, while still downloading videos & I have yet to run into an issue of lack of HD space. If you chose to not buy DVDs why would you use your 360 instead when you can just buy & download with a PC and then stream to 360?

Im thinking about a 360 there are some good deals around at the moment

i did have a ps3 but got the YLOD and you only get a 1 year warranty so PS3 aint that good

also with the 360 you get a 3 year warranty so you are covered in case of RROD

Well Microsoft is going to release a new Xbox in 2012 which will in fact cause the end of the world because of its sheer awesomeness and power. That is why you should play your games now. lol I'm just kidding of course.. but seriously, why wait til the next gen? The current gen we're in now is just starting to become amazing, why miss out on that?
