would you buy a 360 today if yours broke?

Ign just broke some news that microsoft is looking to get the next xbox out by holiday 2013. (it's about time). So with that said and a 4gb slim is still $200 bucks would you actually give microsoft your $200 or more again for another year of gaming on the 360?

I was really surpised with the amount of 360's sold over the black friday holiday, and it really makes me believe the avg consumer is a moron.. or they just don't know how close the next generation is. If the new xbox does launch next holiday season how many of them do you think will be saying to themselves... wtf did I not just buy one? and now a new one? I really feel like the avg consumer is very uneducated when it comes to technology and when to adopt it or not.


Anyway slong story short.. would you buy one? or go a year without a console? I have a solid gaming PC as well as my 360. There is no way I would give microsoft another $200 - 250 for another console at this time.

No since I have 2 Xbox 360 consoles. I have 1 original model an Xbox 360 Arcade with a 20GB HDD attached. And I have a Xbox 360 S slim console with 320GB HDD The Gears of War limited edition console. So my Xbox 360 dies I have a replacement ready. The Arcade is the last versions made before the slimline replaced the originals. Plus the Xbox 360 S console are not Prone to RROD

So nope if one were to die I'm good until the next round of Xbox 720.

I would, but I'd just look for a cheap used model on Ebay or Gamestop or something. I still love playing Halo 4 and the Mass Effect games, and I don't want to wait a year to play them again. That's even if backwards compatibility is included on the new console.

I just grabbed a used 250gb slim, with two controllers and a few games for $100 from a friend. He never used it, so it is like new. I got rid of my Xbox a few years back and used the PS3. Now I will have the best of both worlds.

As far as the new consoles coming, you would be nuts to be an early adopter. Lack of games, hardware failures, and the price of them will keep me at bay for at least a year, if not 2 years. A 4 GB Xbox is still $199, so I assume that the new console will be at least $400. The games will all be $60. I'll stick with the 360, and buy some $20 games that I have missed out on over the past couple of years and watch how the next Gen plays out from the sidelines.

Probably not, I'd just wait for the next gen xbox :P

i would.

360 is my most played and favorite console. itd be hell to have to go a year without one.

tht being said, we just bought the Halo 4 limited edition console, as it was a good deal.

my old one works just fine, but is getting old(2007) and could use a break. will give it to my sister to keep in her room to watch movies and play games and stuff.

I won't get the new xbox for a year the 360 still has a lot of life left in it, besides I doubt they'll even release it then. I'm guaranteed it will come out winter 2014.

No because there's only a small handfull of exclusives that I like on the system, I'd just re-buy the multiplats on other systems I already own.

Yeah, there's still too many games coming out next year to enjoy for me to skip out on just because I didn't want to get a new console.

Dude everybody isn't in a rush to move on to the next-gen, you better believe this-gen is going to last alot longer then most people think!!

I have 2 xbox 360's

I think i would buy a new one that very same day. *Knocking on wood***

I play games every day and i dont think i can survive more than two days without a console.

i would, i play my 360 more than any other console or my PC, so if it broke i would probably buy a new one the first chance i got

i actually just did buy the Halo 4 console, figured even if the new console does come out next year (and we dont know if it will, there have been many rumours about release dates over the years and we still have no information really) then the 360 can just get put in the bedroom and used for netflix and playing a few games on lazy weekend mornings so i will still get years of use out of it either way

I replaced my 20GB one last year with a 250 GB Slim and don't regret it. I own 70 360 games, I want to have something that can play them. Not to mention I love achievements, the controller and the online. PS3 is great and I like having it, but 360 I had since Launch and will never abandon it.

I would. I know what you mean with uneducated people buying the 360 now not nowing next gen is coming up. but honestly, there really is no set date for the next xbox, everything is just speculation right now. I think it's stupid not to buy something in fear of something better coming out a year later. I buy everything based on the believe that the moment I buy it, its dated. Plus 360 still has a TON of great games that'll most likely be cheap when next gen rolls around, so it's not like if people really wanted to they couldn't get their monies worth.

When HD DVD and blu-ray were battling it out to be the next format I sided with HD DVD. When Warner Bros went Blu-ray exclusive the next day I went out and bought a PS3 to use as a blu-ray player. I still have all my HD DVD movies and player...and use them from time to time. Whatever you buy is only a waste of money if you don't use it or if it doesn't make you happy.

i quit playing video games so no, i would not buy another one.

Yes, I did that already once.

No.
