XBL, The amout of good games, the controller is tight, everything that came with the system (headset, hd cables etc.), The accessories (chat pad....I use it alot while playing games), and overall the price was the BEST.

I first chose the XBOX 360 because it was the only console on the market at the time. I stuck with it because I was able to play with my friends on XBOX Live. Also I prefer the XBOX library over any other (I'm personally not a fan of Japanese games) with Halo 3 leading the way. Overall I would enjoy playing the 360 more than with the other two systems.

At the time, the 360 was cheaper than the PS3 and Nintendo doesn't really appeal to me, plus it was already out a year so by the time I get around to buying one, I assumed they fixed their hardware problems but I was still mistaken. Still I think It has the best games out there.

Well, it was the only one out at the time. I now own all three and it's hard to say which is my favorite. They all have their pros and cons. Right now I'm leaning towards the PS3, but that's only because I just got it a couple weeks ago and the novelty hasn't quite worn off yet.

At the time, didn't want to shell out extra cash for the PS3 seeing that at the time it had no great reason to get it. Also the great games that were out for it, such as Gears, Halo, Bioshock, etc. I don't hate the PS3, looking into getting a PS3 soon.

After playing Far Cry on the original Xbox I then made the Xbox 360 an option, as I was set on nothing else but the PS3. Once GRAW was released I couldn't stand waiting up the end of year for the PS3 released so I went ahead and got an Xbox 360 & now I'm sure am glad that I did.

The price for the XBox 360 wasn't too expensive. It wasn't cheap, but the price tag was reasonable.

The controller for the XBox 360 feels better suited for FPS games than the PS3 to me. The XBox controller has those trigger buttons. The PS3 just has an R2 button. It could be me, but I like using the XBox controller for FPS games over the PS3 one.

The exclusive games such as Halo, Gears of War, Oblivion (at the time it wasn't announced for PS3), Ninja Gaiden 2, Fable 2. Also games like Lost Oddysey and Mass Effect were all games I know I would play. There were better exclusive titles that suited me on the XBox 360 than the PS3.

XBox Live. The online play is tops on the XBox console.

i would like to say taht it was the better system - but i'd be lying. The honest to god reason taht i bought the 360 was because of two things - elder scrolls 4 and halo 3!

i'm also going to get a ps3 in a week - its not about the system its about the games!

The main reason I chose the 360 was because I really liked the Xbox more than the PS2. It was nice that the 360 came out sooner but I think I would have bought it anyway over the PS3 just because of how much I liked the Xbox over the PS2. I am going to buy a PS3 now though but it's just because of MGS4 and Blu-Ray. If I could only have one, it would be the 360 all the way. Especially with Left4Dead and Gears 2 coming out!

My friends pressured me and then I realized I wanted to play Halo 3, Grand Theft Auto 4 and Resident Evil 5. So everything became kinda relative.

Resonable price, xbox live, and the controller was designed specifically for FPS; as you can tell they just play better on the 360. I havnt even mentioned the exclusive titles: Ace Combat 6, P.G.R 3 & 4, Forza Motorsport 2, Gears of War, Halo 3.

I bought it because, IMO, it has all of the best FPS and RPG games on it.

Price, availability, and games was the initial reason for the 360. The PS3 is catching up, and the Blu ray does not piss me off like it does others. Though true, it is not, at least yet, a true gaming merit.

Also as an afterword of having both systems, the 360 contoller def. rules, nice peice of work, and the wieght is right. The Dual Shock does at least get the PS3 in the ring.

While there are many factors into why I bought the X-Box 360, besides the fact that I've been an X-Box and X-Box 360 owners since the begining, and an X-Box Live subscriber since its start, the one reason I bought my X-Box was for Halo. I played Halo at a party the day it came out, and we were all just AMAZED at how stunningly AWSOME the game was, me, along with most everyone at that party, all went out that day and bought a X-Box and Halo, if we could afford it (Luckily I could). So naturally, having owned an X-Box for years, and subscribing to X-Box Live for years, when I ASSUMED Halo 3 would come out on the X-Box 360, I knew I just had to get it... Thats my main reason anyway.........

It had more good games than the PS3, and I was still a bit annoyed that Sony tried to put out the PS3 at such a ridiculous price just to try and push their blu-ray format (even though at the time the PS3 was only $50 more). I felt like they pretty much turned their backs on their fanbase, thinking that everyone would just shell out hundreds of dollars just for the name "PlayStation".

Honestly, I often regret my choice, but I probably shouldn't talk about that here. I think the only reason I don't sell the 360 and get a PS3 is because I obviously won't get what I paid for the console, games, and accessories back. So I'll just pick up a PS3 later and have both.

I can live without playing Motorstorm and Super Smash Bros. But not Halo 3, GoW, and other 360 exclusives. And that Xbox Live is just so easy to use.

I got mine because I wasn't about to spend the huge chunk of change on a system that metal gear solid wasn't due for at launch. I still don't own one because I can't justify spending 400 on a system to only have two games worth playing in my opinion. :\ (and my gf has a wii so I don't need one nor do I want one).

Back a year and a half ago, around the launch of the PS3 and Wii, there was MASSIVE amounts of hype around the then "next-gen" consoles and I just couldn't be stuck with a PS2 and an Xbox so I decided to get one of the new consoles for Christmas.

To put it short, the PS3 was too expensive, the Wii was childish, gimmicky and not hardcore enough (it's still the same) but the Xbox 360 was what I wanted.

I chose the 360 because the day the PS3 launched at $660 I managed to get a 360, GRAW, the Live Arcade pack, RR6 (they were all free pack ins) and a free copy of Gears of War all for $450, which at the time was $50 off its retail price and an enormous deal compared to everything that had come before.

Plus, it had stuff like PGR3 and Dead Rising for cheap, when there was absolutely nothing to play on the PS3.

I still find that amusing, since that one store where Microsoft had spurred the promotion sold many more 360s that day than PS3s.
