Well if you haven't bought a 360 wouldn't it make sense to buy one since it has a much larger library? You would get great games from 2006-2007 alot cheaper. Isn't that one of the reasons the PS2 is still doing so well? At this current time all the great games on the 360 can be played using the arcade 360 and until that is no longer the case how it a dumb move to spend $280 though will be cheaper in due time to play those games which will be $30-50. Again nothing against the PS3 but the 360 is a solid purchase especially if all you care about is games.

We will see. The 360 is a great machine, but so was the xb, and it died (I have owned them both). It has everything to do with where it sits on the market.Oh, and if library size is your thing, then the PS2 or the Wii would be a better choice. The type of people that drop 300+ on a gaming rig, want the most technologically advanced games. If you wanted less than that, there are a lot better choices.

 

I enjoyed my Xbox - but with the Nvidia suit, and the rumor that MS used the Xbox to break into the gaming market for the 360 - it was time to go. That won't happen this time around with the 360. Being first to the market worked well for MS. No one could have predicted the Wii would be the beast it was, but even in light of that console, the 360 is still selling remarkably well, and going over 2 years with just one price cut is outstanding.
