So, here I am thinking of buying a 360.

I owned the original Xbox back in the day and loved it to death. So when the 360 came out many rumors pushed me down from buying it. And then I saw the PS3 as the ultimate next gen console, as Sony announced. So I bought it hoping it would live to what Sony was saying about it. So far, for me, it has not. Last week my PS3 broke, I'm having to send it to Sony for repairs. And I got to thinking how it would be if I had a 360. Why did you guys buy your 360? Why should I really buy one? It seems to be getting alot of games I like. And some that are multi platform get so much more support on the 360 then other consoles.

What has me thinking is that Microsoft will release a newer console in 2 years. And that the system I buy will brake often. I have many reasons to buy one, and many reasons to not. Please help me out here guys. I need some opinions.

Microsoft won't release another console for at least 2 years and more likely 3 since they will want to make as much money off the 360 before releasing another system.

I would get one now since the price just dropped and the 360 has the best game library.

Thanks for all the help guys. I will be getting one tomorrow. The question is which model? Is there any difference between the 60GB and the Elite, other than the color, more memory, and the HDMI cables?Theempire30

I really want an XBOX 360 also, I own a PS3 and really like it, but here is why I will probably get a 360 soon:

- I really like the xbox 360 controller. In my opinion it's more confortable than the PlayStation's.

- it's cheap ($260 for a video game console)

- the xbox live arcade has a lot of cool games

- Halo 3

Yes you should here is why

- Halo 3, Gears 2, Fable 2, Banjo 3, Mass Effect, The Last Remenant, Star Ocean 4, Left 4 Dead. All of these amazing games and none of them you will see on the PS3. With the exception of The Last Remenant which is a timed exclusive.

- XBLA has some really sweet games such as Geometry Wars 2, Braid, Castle Crashers.
