I was on the fence, but I had read that the XBox 360 was backwards compatabile, so I went ahead an bought it. What a joke that turned out to be. Don't get me wrong, the 360 has been a good console, but I would have waited at least another 6 months before I purchased it. I still feel like I got a raw deal from Microsoft over the lack of backwards compatability and the amount they hyped it prior to launch.

I wouldn't say that that a particular game or thing "pushed me to get one," it was just more of the fact that it was the new/next- gensystem, and I buy 'em all so....

I always liked Xbox live, and I couldn't wait to play the next gen games like a true hardcore gamer. So I bought mine on launch and have always been very happy.

A few things helped push me, mainly Live and shooters, i love the controller when it comes to shooters so obviously Gears was a deciding factor aswell. Also looking forward to Halo 3

Nothing specific, I just wanted one and had the money to buy one, so I did :P. A very wise decision I might add :).

Mainly it was that the Wii has had NO good games (not including Zelda, which was a gamecube port anyway) for the past year. Meanwhile, the 360 had oblivion, gears of war, dead rising, and will soon have assassin's creed, ace combat 6, halo 3, blah blah blah. It's robust online features was a plus too.

wasn't really too interested in the next-generation gaming at the time because PS2 was going strong. Figured i would wait a year after the issues were fixed with the launch consoles of the 360. About a year later i picked it up having the money at the time and also finding out the price of the PS3, that was mostly the only two reasons. PGR3, Perfect Dark Zero were probably the only games i was interested in at the time.

When I read that tri-Ace was making Infinite Undiscovery, I knew that I had to get an Xbox360. I love the style of RPGs that they make. Eternal Sonata's battle system is also very similar to the ones from Star Ocean and the Tales Series. Now that there is much better support from Japanese developers, the 360 became a must-purchase for me.

the simple fact that i loved and enjoyed my XBOX more than any other games console i have ever owned.

That trend continues with the 360.

WHAT MADE ME BUY A 360 WAS GEARS OF WAR.

BUT AFTER KNOWING THAT WILL COME OUT FOR THE PC THIS YEAR BUYING A 360 WAS JUST A WASTE OF GOOD MONEY THAT I WAS GOING TO BUY A PS3 WITH.:(

A friend of mine got one while I was STILL waiting for the PS3 to hit europe, after seeing how much more the 360 has to offer currently and constant let downs from playstation in europe I jumped ship - nearly got a PS3 yesterday but decided to pre-order a bunch of games instead.

why do ppl keep saying dead rising? there are better games... RE5 is gonna pwn! i have to say the reason i bought mine is b/c i was confident, and still am confident, that the 360 will offer the most and the best (gamplay AND graphics) games this gen, hands-down.(Wii is awesome though youve got to admit.) I also like the windows media sharing, etc. And of course live is the best in the industry.

I had a ps2 and was gonna get a ps3 but I'm impatient so when I heard the 360 was coming first I went for it. (I live in the Uk and the ps3 only came out this year here....I think.) So I would have had to have waited like two years for a next gen experience.

Well, I adored my PS2 (still do, still play it for DMC3 and God of War II). The 360 came out round 2005 and, yeah... wasn't too impressed by it so I stuck with my PS2. Also, We had an Xbox at the time which I never went on except for Halo or Dead or Alive (dissapointing console, imo). I was thinking over which console to get since the next generation of consoles is almost fully released.

I thought about getting a Wii, but the lack of games turned me off it. Thought about getting a PS3, but I damn well wont be getting that until there's a decent price drop. Then I came to the 360 again, saw a clip of Gears of War and I was quite frankly blown away by the action and graphics the game displayed. My dad asked me what I want for christmas and I told him a 360 with Gears of War.

So yeah, console comparisons and Gears of War pushed me to get a 360 :)

I figured out I needed a next gen system when I saw nba 2K7 was probably gonna be the last one on original xbox.

So then it was about ps3 or 360, and with the gears of war pack coming out when I finally had the money ready, against a not yet release PS3 it seemed like a no brainer.

And then there was perfect dark, lost planet PGR3 that make me feel happy about my choice
