This thread will discuss why and why NOT to get an Xbox 360.

Why you should get an Xbox 360:

arrow Classic controller, classic gameplay, unlike the Wii.
arrow Cheaper system than the PS3.
arrow Really good games like Halo 3.
arrow Better graphics than Wii, by a bit.

Reasons why you SHOULDN'T get an Xbox 360:
arrow It likes over-heating, that sneaky b*****d.
arrow It breaks a little too easily.
arrow Kinda expensive, but not like the PS3 or anything.
arrow You have to pay for online play, unlike Wii.

Fanboys/fangirls who have come here just to say that the system sucks:


People who have stated good reasons why they won't get the Xbox 360:

First of all, XBox games suck. Too unimaginative.

Second of all, Microsoft as a whole sucks. It just does, trust me. 3nodding

And I'm NOT a fanboy!! I'm a girl. Therefore I'm not a fanboy. scream

PWNed.

Ohh yeah, and since the PS3 is so damn expensive, I think I'll most likely get the Wii, but just call it the Revolution anyway.

Well, some of there games are alright, but they're often dark-oriented and gloomy. It probably actually doesn't even have pink in the palette of the system. LOL! xd

I won't be getting the Xbox. Why? Well, quite frankly, I'm not willing to dish out that much dough. Oh, and for one of the plus sides to it, the controller, what if you LIKE the Wiimote? Personally, I find it intriguing. Second, I'm not a huge fan of dark games, or FPS. I like...Well, I likeMario games, to be honest. Ridiculous, jumpy and totally unrealistic. Why not? xD Sooo...That's why I won't be getting it! (Not to mention that I don't really care about the online gaming...)  

[Shalalaka]

I have one and i think it is cool one problem though is playing the old games if you can't get online through X-BOX live you can't download the patches  

[Angelic Light Blue]

I like the Wiimote too.
Well, the Xbox isn't the only one with online capabilities.  

[Domo-Kun Chan]

XBox games just do not appeal to me at all. I don't mind dark games, but when I think XBox, I think FPS, which are games that I don't like playing. That's pretty much the only reason why I won't get an XBox, no games that Areashine likes.

Despite my Nintendo fangirl-ism, I think the Xbox 360 is going to do really well. They made the right move by releasing it early (A page taken out of Sony's own playbook. LAWL.), the only problem was that Microsoft rushed it too much, so they didn't have enough good starter games and systems available to push the launch. However, the early release gave Microsoft a good period of time to gain momentum, and it looks like they're going to gain even more with all the games they showed off at this year's E3. Sony's really going to have to struggle to catch up once it releases the PS3.

Official Xbox Magazine - July 2006

Although Xenon may have gotten off to a bit of a bumpy start, he's really starting to find his groove now and the future looks bright. The end of freshman year will be key, as demand (and supply) must remain high in the face of the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii release, Gears of War needs to be The Second Coming, and the advertising blitz must be fierce and unrelenting. All of that happens, then the momentum heading into 2007 -- when theHalo movie and next Halo game ship -- should make the 360 an exemplary student.

Sidenote:: Xenon was the codename for the Xbos 360 when it was still in devolepment, like the Revelotion (yes, I can't spell good) for Nentindo and it's Wii

One game made the decision for me:

Chrome Hounds.

I'm gonna be buying Kameo and a few other games as well, but Chrome Hounds is my reason to play.  

[KarAniyuki]

I bought it for Oblivion, I loved it for Hitman, and I will marry it for Chromehounds.

Hell yes. heart  

[gamer014]

The only game that I want on the Xbox 360 is for Oblivion and I can get that for my PC. So I really have no reason to buy a 360.
