Iam currently owning a PS2 and a Xbox, I have played them pretty much. First I wanted a PS3 due to its power.Later I started to realise about PS3 games.I dont like metal gear solid and Gran tunismo. Now about 3-4 months Iam planning to an Xbox360. Today I tested it at EBGAMES. OMG this is the best console I have always liked the halo series and gears of war.The xbox360 controller is so amazing and the xbox live support are the best.Iam living in Europe and Iam now currently waiting the price drops probably one day I will see you guys at xbox live. I hope that the pricecuts will soon arrive to Europe :(

Well did you guys also owned a PS2 and a Xbox ??

i own a PS2 and an xbox. The PS2 was my favorite out of the two (even though my PS2 died and had to be replaced) The xbox got almost no use, i own 22 games in all the years i've had it. However i love my Xbox 360 and am not even considering getting a PS3. I already have 26 games for the 360 and I play often on Xbox live.

Since the mid-1990s, I've been mostly a PC gamer. A few years back, I decided to go with console gaming to cut back on the cost of keeping my computer up to date for the latest games*. The Xbox had far more of the titles I was interested in playing on the PC, so I went with it. That's mostly been the case for the 360, as well. I did eventually pick up a PS3, but most of the games that interest me will still be coming out on the 360, or will be multiplatform.

*And yet, I still upgraded, anyway. And even with stacks of console games to play, I seem to find myself playing on the PC all the time. :p

Heh.. that's all the kid had in the house XD!!

I had a PS2, hated XBOX always. I wanted a PS3 cuz it looked powerful and had all the games I wanted.. but then XBOX 360 started nabbin' the exclusives and had all the best games PLUS the games I wanted on the PS3. I was just gonna sell it(I had a Wii too) but then decided to sell the Wii after playing Gears and Dead Rising on the 360 AND seeing it had the other games like Devil May Cry, Assassin's Creed, and GTA4. Otherwise I still would've waited til i got the PS3 and sold my 360

The games, and the fact it has an excellent controller. Used to think the system was too expensive, but then the PS3 rolled out and changed my mind on the manner.

I bought my 360 because I was trying to get a PS3 at lunch but when the bastards in front of me bought 3-4 systems to sell on eBay i decided to get a 360 because i needed nextgen gameplay ASAP. I still plan on buying a PS3 sometime next year after I get my HDTV.

Well I owned a PS2 and Xbox and to me honestly the PS2 is a better system. When it all comes down all the games that came out for the PS2 were hits. All the Xbox really had was the halo series. I wasn't really interested in the xbox 360 like that because i was more into sony but when i heard the pricetag i completey changed my mind (because it would've token me weeks to buy it at my job). So i bought one and i loved it to much. It was the best. I enjoyed it so much more than both the PS2 and Xbox not because of the games but because of the tihngs you could do besides playing. Chating with friends, old arcade games everything. Then Gears came and another Halo and well let's put it this way all the hits from the PS2 (their sequels) were coming to the xbox 360 so i was really excited about it. There's onlytwo games that i will actully go out and buy a PS3 thats Metal Gear Solid 4 and Kingdom Hearts 3

I have owned a Atari 2600, Commodore 64, NES, Genesis, PS One, Xbox, and Xbox 360.

I remember Bill Gates stating that he believed in the games industry and that MS would be in it for the long haul. With words like this and MS's power/money, you can only believe that Xbox 360 is going to succeed.

I have owed (at one time or another) just about every gaming system that came out. Well except the ones that were expensive like the neo geo, 3d0, 32x and so on. But I will say, and im surprised noone has said this yet, that XBOX live is the main reason. the PS3 network is pretty corny. People will say how its free and try to diss the 360 cuz you gotta pay. honestly I think even Xbox live Silver is still way better that the PS3 online service, and its also free. The games also had a lot to do with it, and the multiplayer. The thing that made me get the 360 first(yes I own a PS3 also) was the fact that sony and its fanboys always say how good the system iswhen every game i see on the PS3 i beleive can be done on the 360. And the 360 is less expensive.

I use to have the PS2 and the Xbox i loved the PS2 but i played more the Xbox because the better graphics(light and shadows effects, less glitching images), faster loading times, custom soundtracks and of course cause i loved Halo and Halo 2 (btw halo 2 was the xbox live grand founder, we got XLM cause halo 2 started all), and i choose Xbox 360 because XLM friggin rocks!!! something new every week demos, movies, trailers, live arcade, halo 3 is coming and a hundred things that makes the 360 the best console around. I love a lot my Xbox 360 i'm even thinking about getting an Elite or the 120GB HD. someday probably will get a Wii then maybe a PS3 when the price goes down to $400 or less:P

I own pretty much every console exept for the PS3 and PSP, and the reason i chose the 360 was for the huge ammount of top quality games at the end of this year. there will be released enough titels on just the 360 to keep me bussy for months.

I got the 360 simply because I was more interested in its exclusives. Though the price was a great motivator. I wouldn't mind having a PS3 but honestly I don't see myself owning one anytime soon.

I had an HDTV and I wanted as much HD content as possible. The 360 was the first console to go HD. Well, I guess the original Xbox output certain games in HD.

Plus, I had an Xbox and liked it.

I owned the original playstation and playstation 2 so I was a pretty loyal sony customer but when I saw all the great games that were coming for 360 and the fact the 360 was taking all the sony exclusives I went the 360 route and havent regretted it for one second.

In all honesty, i owned them all. But when PS3 delayed coming out. I of course bought the XBOX 360. I had to wait like everyone else to get a PS3. I OF COURSE had to trade that PS3 in to get the new 80GB...i REFUSED TO GET THE elite XBOX 360, and just got the Hard drive 120GB UPGRADE, WHICH WAS REALLY NEEDED.

As far as I can tell, the only reason to buy a PS3 is MGS4 and Japanese style RPGs. Basically everything else that's any good will also be on the 360, or exclusive to the 360. If you are thinking of getting a next gen system, the 360 is a no brainer. There are lots of great games from the past 1 1/2 years to tide you over until this fall when the tidal wave of amazing game hits. Wow, I can't believe there's this many great games coming out around the same time.

I chose it because I was in the US at around the time it was released and I wouldn't be able to pick up on another console, either way, 360 was first choice because of its controller and Call of Duty 2. I have not for one second regretted my decision.

I owned an Xbox and loved it. It made sense to buy its successor, the Xbox 360. I just wish they built the 360 like they did the Xbox, those things were built like a brickhouse.

It was the cheapest way I could play TESIV Oblivion (Morrowind being my fav game of all time, i was psyched). Of course, after Oblivion turned out to be my biggest gaming disappointment ever I was dismayed. But I stayed with 360 because great games started coming out and Xbox Live is great.

I had my PS2 long before I got the original Xbox, but after awhile I just started to play more of my Xbox. Eventually I started to become more interested in Xbox games and the quality service of Xbox Live. Now, with all of the exclusives and other multi-platform games, the 360 was an obvious choice for me.

I used to own a Mega Drive, then a PS1, then a PS2. I never used to be interested in the Xbox until I borrowed the original console off a mate. I enjoyed it and became Microsoft fan aswell as a Sony fan. Then a few months ago I decided I needed to join the next gen of gaming so I traded in my PS2 and 60+ games for a 360. I have 5 games for it now and don't reget nothing as it is an awesome console and has a briliant Live service. I used to be a big fan of the PS3 but the fact that the 360 has better games has put me off it big time. Loving my 360. :D

Last generation I had a PS2 and X-box, but played the X-box more. This gen I have a 360 and a Wii, and really have no interest in a PS3. Maybe a few years down the line. I bought the 360 a year into it's life cycle because it has the best games, and the best line-up IMO. Plus, I've never liked the PS controller. It's too clunky, and the 360 controller is perfect. Such an improvement over the original x-box controller. That thing was huge.
