Hmmm.... So many choice should i buy 3 xbox 360's or should i buy a ps3 or a wii

But let's congraduate microsoft, there the only company that can treat customers like **** and keep taking in their money. NOW that is a good business stratedgy.

Xbox 360:

Premium system:$499

HD-DVD add on$100

buying the 120gb hard drive when it's added on$150

$750

Buying the 360 elite when u get the ring of death $479

total:$1229

What's really cheaper? 

You can save ps1 and ps2 games on the hard drive with a adapter

the cross media bar is easy to use, I knew what I was doing right out of the box (can't really say so with the 360)  so compared to the 360 the ps3 gets a 10/10

HD is really nice, but not nessecary 

Here, I'll try to explain why it's bad not to have competition.  Okay in my small city there were only 2 places to get cd's wal mart, and a local music shop, the music shop had decent prices, but walmart had about 2 dollars cheaper a cd.  So 15 dollars at the local shop, and 13 at walmart.  Sadly the local one shut down.  Now this I can't believe but it's true, about a month after a cd has been out, the prices are 16-22 dollars a cd. 

 Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo will do the exact same thing if there was no competition between them.  There a business that is here to make money.  A simple solution if you think it's expensive already, or if a product is crap.  Don't buy the crappy product.  Remember this simple rule for bad games.  

 People who buy bad games are the reason there still is bad games.  Your on Gamespot, so don't tell me no one warned you about how good or bad a game is.  Previews, Reviews, game pictures, videos, you have warnings.  

Great, you all give a decent article, and I do agree that the 360 fans I know are buying a ps3 too.  It's mainly cause I'm a sony fan and they like what they here.  Most people I know are buying all 3, I can't cause I consider my computer my xbox(I got Alienware) so the only exclusives are also on the computer.  Gears of War, Lost Planet are only the games I'm interested in on the 360, but everyone in my city has got that scary ring of death.  Also I like to point out that there are plans to put Gears of War, and Lost Planet onto PCs, so I'm happy. 

 Also, is that ring of death a one appearance only? Like if you get it, is your system toast.  Cause my friend that bought the 360 got the 3 red lights on the first day it came out, but we just shut it off and started it again and it was fine.  I don't talk to this friend anymore so I can't say if he's still on the first xbox, or he got another.  

I hopefully will try to give the Nintendo Wii, and the Playstation 3 a fighting chance against the Red traffic light otherwised known as the Xbox 360.

The Xbox 360 has been out for a year, so it's already on it's second generation of games coming out for it. 

The Playstation 3 and the Nintendo Wii have recently came out, so there still on their first generation of games.

When you compare graphics from the 360 to the PS3, try to compare first generation games from the PS3 to first gen games of the 360.  So in simple terms compare launch title graphics of the 360, to PS3 launch titles.  The Wii should not be compared, because it isn't about graphics power, it's to be more fun.  

 There are and WILL be good games for all systems, compare launch  titles from the 360 to launch titles for the Wii and PS3.

I don't know the 360's launch title too well, so feel to correct if desired, alsoI want to point out exclusives, as it's the main arguement for which console will be better in the end.(games are launch, and a short while after)

360: Kameo, Perfect Dark Zero, Project Gotham Zero, Condemned, Dead or Alive 4, Saints Row

PS3:Motorstorm, Resistance, Genji, Virtua Fighter 5, Gran Trismo, Warhawk, Formula One

Wii:Zelda Twilight, Wii Sports, Wii Play, Warioware, Red Steel, Trama Center

 I'd say it's pretty even, exclusive launch title's for all of them.  Now for future titles

The PS3 is getting  Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy XIII

The Wii is getting Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3

The 360 is getting Halo 3, and Gears of War 2

 All systems look like they have a pretty even battle, it's all going to depend  on what games you prefer, and also depends on how many other people prefer the average type of exclusives coming out.  If you like a little bit of everything get a PS3, if you like a lot of First Person Shooters, get a 360, and if you like Nintendo in general get a Wii (cause all there exclusives are going to stay exclusive for a long time)

The main point I'm trying to get is stand up for your system, if your wondering why I was trying to give a even battle to all is because I don't want a million posts on this thread bashing the other system.  I want you to stand up for  your system of choice, but still respect every else's choices.  The 360 seems to be thought doing so well because America doesn't realize that there's other people on the planet, the PS3 is doing well on other parts of the world, like Japan and Europe.  The Wii is doing great everywhere cause Nintendo has been around long enough for people to realize that Nintendo isn't here to try and be the dominant system.  They want to make sales, and arn't worrying too much about the company beside them that's also in to gaming.  

 So in the end you make your choice, and please if you will continue saying the 360 is better then all compare the PS3 and Wii's timeline, with the 360's timeline.  (compare the ps3's 5 month life cycle to the 360's 5 month life cycle).  If your rich get all 3, and avoid all fighting.  If your poor wait it out.
