I thought Microsoft only lost money with the old Xbox? And they made up what they lost with the 360?

Well, I don't think they'll drop out of the race. Bungie isn't a piece of Microsoft anymore, but it will have to publish its games for Microsoft. There are quite a few big names coming to the 360 soon, and I sure as hell don't think Halo 3 and BioShockwill stop selling.

More and more people are buying 360, the 360s are getting more and more cheaper to make, and price drops are just around the corner. The rest of 2007 and 2008 will surely bring a lot of money for Microsoft. Ace Combat 6 will be an Xbox 360 exclusive, and I'm sure many PS2 players will flood to GameStops for their new Flying games.

Looking at the future, Sony has a bigger chance of dropping out than Microsoft.

And nobody ever said PC gaming wasn't gaming.

I've been thinking really hard, but haven't come up with a solution. What game should I get?

My mind was first split between Stranglehold, a mindlessly fun shoot-'em-up, Ace Combat 6, the biggest flyboy around, Guitar Hero 3, the sequel to my most played non-online game, and Beautiful Katamari, the cutest little game around.

But yesterday, a friend came over and brought Halo 2, and I decided to play with him to break my reputation as 'The only Xbox owner to never play Halo'.

He forgot it here, and I just finished the game, and discovered why people love it so much. Now Halo 3 has just kicked down the door and is looking at me with puppy eyes.

WHAT SHOULD I GET!?

You've probably been playing good games for too long, and can't stand average and bad games.

Either that or you don't have enough good games to play. Post the names of your games, and we might be able to help.

If you don't have Guitar Hero II, I'd tell you to buy it. Well, if you're a music guy, anyway. Re-playing songs might get you tired of repetition, but playing them just to listen or perfect them can move you forward.

Chromehounds would be a good game too, if you prefer games that revolve around squad tactics, but if you're a fan of the Uuuuber fast Armored Core mechs, the game might seem very boring, as there isn't much sense of speed. The multiplayer is really the only part of the game that anybody'd consider 'fun', as you go against real players or CPU HOUNDS (instead of the puny ACVs of the Story mode, which is, in all ways, a tutorial on how to play.) with your teamates backing you up and vice-versa, providing experienced players with a good challenge, bad players with, eh, hours of HOUND building to improve their building skills and Free playing.

Darn, big wall o' text.

Um, if you're a Harry Potter fan, and have finances that can take a beating for buying several games, the Harry Potter game based on the Fifth book is a good game for exploring, as just looking around Hogwarts provides more entertainment than playing the game itself.

Oh, and buy BLACK and DEAD RISING. BLACK, while being an Xbox game, is backwards compatible, and is very pretty and fun, provided you don't panic when overwhelmed with enemies.

DEAD RISING is fun, because... Well, you can pull a zombie's tummy out!

And assuming you have of the above then.. Well, sucks for you that you aren't entertained.

Now, to protect myself, being about a page behind in everything...

I'M A NINTENDO 64 FANBOY! NOT A XBOX 360 ONE. *Though the Xbox is a really good system*

[QUOTE="GazzaB"]pfft...whats the Wii got going for it other than the usual Mario/Zelda/Smash bros trashlettuceman44

[QUOTE="hendrix29"]I think someone should bring a list of high-profile releases for all of the consoles and see which has the best ones overall. Maybe we can even hold a vote.lettuceman44

Wii60 FTW!!!!!

Just a question who is going to buy an 360 elite?ronnet

The qualities of the Elite are not only its Slick color and 120GB HDD. It also runs cooler and much quieter. The Playstation Magazine compared the PS3 and Xbox 360 and concluded: "The Xbox 360 runs like Jet Engines compared to the PS3's soft wind." , or something along those lines.

OH, and congrats for the 1200th. post.

The Xbox 360 Elite is going to have twice the amount of space in the hard drive of the 60GB PS3... For 123 Dollars less. With 14 times as many great games...
