What was that made you go out and buy a 360? For me I always planned on getting one but when Gears came out I couldn't wait any longer so I bought the 360, Gears, and Live. What did it for you?

Well I'm going to be moving soon and with games like Halo 3 that I know all my friends will be playing I thought it would be a good way to stay in touch. Also, it had the best game lineup so far.

Just how addicting XBL was for me on Xbox.I'd say just 3 games last-gen Halo 2, Rainbow Six 3, and Ghost Recon 2 had me hooked for 2 years, so many sleepless nights.

Dead Rising was the final deciding factor, but there were many reasons I got mine.

Mistwalker JRPGs...particularly Lost Odyssey.

I have never anticipated a game that much. LO will turn out to be the kind of JRPG I have always waited for (dark, mature etc...)

the main game that made me change my mind from buying a ps3 to buy a x360 is forza motorsport 2 when i saw the first trailer about a year ago i was stunned and i said this game will own !!! then i started a researche about xbox360 and i found it was rule with or without forza so i bought it and im very happy with it.

Originally Gears and HD, but the former of the two failed. Luckily I've found a lot to love about the system :)

Gears all the way

i was deciding between ps3 (resistance) and 360 (gears)

i saw them both, took a look at the gametrailers comparison

and i can say the differences were huge graphically, so i picked up a 360 last february :), other game i picked up was perfec dark, but i think that game sucks

other games i was hyped about were GRAW, I think that game kicks major ass, and dead rising, but i havent play this last one...yet

The online play, my parents (i am going on to 11th grade) said that with the job that pays me 40 dollars per hour i can get xbox live if i wanted to. Gears of war pushed me to get the xbox 360 because of the online play, at first i sucked at it but now i just got the seriously acheivement and also the private chat which xbox live offers, you can play online in a ranked match but at the same time you can be talking to a friend.

Most definitely. Best game on the 360 imo.

really?.okay, what makes it great in your opinion? i might play it this evening. to me it looks like being creative in killing as much zombies as possible (which sounds pretty sweet as it is).

i traded it for oblivion (great game but depressing as hell.. i want to have some sort of fun, might as well be the killing kind)

Technology was that "thing".

I was an Xbox fan from day 1 and haven't looked back. The technology in Xbox 1 was a whole generation ahead of the competition. The 360 is also extremely powerful.

No games in particular. I didn't want a Wii or PS3, and the X360 seemed to have solid games that were out or coming out soon. Just wanted to have some good multiplayer games.

I got it April of last year because they told me Blue Dragon was coming to the US. Since then its been less of a 360 and more of an expensive DVD player. Its nice and all, and GeOW and Viva Pinata are plenty fun but Its been over a year and I only own 4 360 games. I've purchased more Gamecube games than that in the same amount of time. I just wish it had more titles that interest me. Hopefully this Q4 will be better.

A combination of the following:

1. The announcement of Banjo-Kazooie 3

2. The announcement of Guitar Hero 2 coming to 360 (I previously had a GC and couldn't play the PS2 version)

3. The release of Gears of War (This game is what moved my console, along with GRAW, and Table Tennis)

This being the only system to play Halo was a big factor and the quality service of Live. But the icing on the cake was when I heard GTA IV was being released simultaneously with the PS3.

E3 2006. Sony yammered on about how great the Cell was, Microsoft showed us some games.
