Im Thinking of Buying a 360

One of the main selling points of the 360 is its costs. It's interesting to see people who have basically chosen the Sony side of things now finally start to debate over weather or not to get a second console, simply because basically the most customizable version of the 360 is really, really cheap. With an arcade, you can be certain you are getting the latest 360 chip now, because of the internal memory design change that accompanies the new chips, so yeah, it's hard to not thing about buying one.

The 360 is easily worth the 199 price tag.

The same cannot be said for the PS3, and even if it could be said, 399 is still a lot of money, worth it or not.

The more I think about it, the more I believe that the 360 might just have a chance to hold on to 2nd place this generation. It'll all depend on Sony and their aggressiveness in price-cutting.

On topic, there are quite a few exclusives on the 360 that easily make the console purchase worthy. If you don't have a gaming PC, or a PS3, the must have choice is the 360 right now, so you can play most of the big AAA HD games without having to spend much time or money accuring the platforms on which they are played. If you already have another HD platform, 199 is a very reasonable price to simply play the upcoming and previously filed Xbox 360 exclusives.

A few I recommend are Tales of Vesperia, Gears 2, Crackdown, and Fable 2. If you only have a PS3, let me highly recommend L4D, Gears of War, Mass Effect, and you should also probably rebuy Fallout 3 or GTAIV, because the DLC coming for those games to the PC and PC360 seem like they might be epic in scope.

First and foremost this isnt about the money or the price that attracted me to thinking about the 360. It was actually the thought of Jade Empire 2 and Lost Odyssey that got me thinking maybe I should ignore the fail that was Vista and trust MS again.

 

My PS3 is worth the 549.99 that I dropped on it and I havent regretted that purchase since. I will only be using a 360 for its exclusives and Multiplats that are damn near unplayable on the PS3 a la The Orange Box.  But another thing that has me seeing this as a possible redundant choice is because of rumors that Mass Effect 2, Tales of Vesperia and Left 4 Dead, TLR are coming to the 360.

Honestly I wouldnt even consider the Arcade based on the fact I count it as a rip-off since it doesnt offer the HDD and that is almost an extra 100.00 where Im from.

It would defintely be the Pro or Elite...(More likely the Pro I already have a black console ;) But after seeing the latest SO4 trailer Im very interested in it but even then the rumors of it getting Ported to PS3 are ever persistant.

Infinite Undiscovery doesnt look like my cup of tea it kind of looks Bland to me.
