[QUOTE="genaroll"][QUOTE="hellhund"] I thought about doing that, but I just don't think I could trust a used hard drive, especially since it could've been a modded one some fruitcake traded in. Or do they test them? Even still, I don't trust used electronics unless I know who had it before. They're too easy to abuse and people's stupidity is limited only by their lack of imagination.RogueShodown

[QUOTE="93soccer"]I would get it. Even if it's an arcade, you could always buy a HDD later. Actually, Gamestop is having a promo for people trading up to a "slim" so you could go buy like a used 60GB for around $40-50 so it's a good dealhellhund

[QUOTE="wolverine4262"]Thats what my unboxing looked like the other day. I havent been able to play it yet as I am waiting for MS to send me a transfer cable. However, I did trickle charge a controller w/o knowing it. I plugged it in b/c the battery was dead when I first turned it on. A couple hours later, I noticed the controllers light was still on. I had to put my head right up against the console to even notice it was in trickle mode. The old console was very obvious about it.navyguy21

Reasons I'd buy a 360 off the top of my head.

Banjo Kazooie, Kameo, Gears of War 1, Geometry Wars, Forza 3, Bayonetta, Snoopy Flying Ace, Shadow Complex, Alan Wake, Rez, Tales of Vesperia, Ikaruga (just so I don't risk ruining my hard copy of it)

That's 12 reasons for me.

However, the reasons I'd buy a PS3 are as follows

Uncharted, Uncharted 2, Fat Princess, Demon's Souls and probably ModNation Racers.

So 4-5 reasons. Now, MGS4 would probably be up there too, but I haven't played through all the games preceding it. I did buy some of them just so I'd have another reason to want a PS3 though.

tl;dr - Differing opinions.
