Because i went to wait in line for a PS3 an entire 48 hours before they launched and there was already 100 or more people in line at a store that only got 15 consoles.

I was like **** that and i walked over to the electronics department and got a 360 instead. Had i been able to get a PS3 i probably still wouldnt own a 360.

( i finally got a PS3 about 4 months later ).

I originally bought my 360 for Resi 5... but now, in retrospect... I bought it for SF4 and XBLA.

Imust add, that I'mvery much looking forward to "wet" tomorrow and"Splinter Cell :Conviction" when it finally arrives.

I knew the online would be amazing because the first XBox had amazing online, being an online gamer I naturally went with that choice. Also when I saw a preview of Gears Of War, I was blown away...really great stuff.

Mass Effect, a $50 gift card,and it was cheaper than a PS3. And I was tired of only have one current-gen system that for the most part only collects dust.

I got mine for all the great games coming out on it, I was already a big Xbox gamer so naturally I wanted a 360. The main games I wanted were Call of Duty 2 and Perfect Dark Zero.

number 1 reason i got my xbox 360 elite 8) is that it has better games and can be easily connected with any pc monitor . I can play 720p hd games on my lcd monitor without shelling out ridiculous amount of money on hdtvs. Buying ps3 is a perfect recipe of sony's notorious plans of selling their terrible products . First i bought ps3 which was not so acttractive for me but now my baby xbox 360 is giving everything i always wanted .

Because the 360was where the games were at.

Made it an even easier choice looking at the PS3's absurdly high price tag at the time.

I loved the original xbox so I went with a 360 over a PS3. Also so that I could play Oblivion.

Agreed with polarman87. At the time, Oblivion wasn't announced for PS3. After watching the videos and E3 demo back then, I knew that I had to find a way to play this game. There was no way my PC could handle Oblivion properly so getting the xbox 360 was the only choice. I was also looking forward to Halo 3 and Fable 2 as well.

I bought mine for Halo 3 and better online multiplayer features on Xbox live. Currently not playing Halo3 much, playing Gears of War 2 a lot.

I got the Resident Evil 5 bundle with the red system. Just rediscovering RE5 after letting it sit since beating it for the first time.

Gears of War 1 Me and my bro love playing co-op games and we were sooo hyped for that. It met my expectations too (Im not ridiculously unrealistic with my hyped games like some).

COD 2. That game just look awesome back in the day, and it still does. I still play that game doing this day and its just fun to play. Not only its that game, but its the Selection of games, and Xbox live. Those are my reasons why I got the system.

Mostly due to my computer becoming obsolete, it can run first generation 360/PS3 games but not the newer ones like Fallout 3. A price drop sealed the deal lol.

I got a extremely good discount on it when I purchased my Samsung Plasma HDTV. Also helped that I had been waiting & waiting for GRAW, then the PS2 version was absolutely pathetic.
