| EGG_OF_D00m said: well ebgames are having a special, a 250gb xbox 360 slim with kinect gears 3 kinect adventures and a controller, and it's a really great deal but the problem is xbox live' it cost $90 and then i will have to buy new games for it and it will all add up, all my friends have a playstation except for 1 so that is another setback and i have an elite right now with a few games but tbh the elite is booring what's the point of no wifi so i could sell that and take $150 of it which would take it to $230. i need to know a few things first. is kinect good? i have a psmove atm but it's pretty lackluster with no games 2nd. is live worth it? and how much different is it from psn 3rd. is gears and halo good? [my main reasons that i want the system] i really need to know from personal experiences is it worth it or am i to late. |
1. For the hardcore gamer, probably not. Unless you have family who would want to use it or you are REALLY into dancing and virtual sports, you probably wouldn't like it. It also lacks games in general. Price is another problem as well, Kinect is very overpriced, especially for what you can get out of it and the quality of the technology inside it.
2. This is a hard one. XBL is overall superior to PSN, it has a better selection of Arcade and Full games and the useful party system with cross game chat. Other than that, there aren't many differences. PSN has the same connection speed and it still has a great selection of Arcade games including the PS1 Classics section. If you only have 1 friend who has an Xbox 360, getting XBL does seem a bit pointless, if you think those advantages I listed are worth the £40 / $60 a year price tag then go for it.
3. I haven't tried Halo out that much, I had a lot of fun with my friend on two player but I still need to pick the game up. As for Gears of War, I have played the 2nd one. Overall I would say it was OK, definitely not my sort of game but still enjoyable. Personally I think the Xbox 360 has a lot more to offer than just Gears and Halo, maybe you should look at other games too.
You are a little late, but then again so was I, and I enjoy using my Xbox 360. I usually switch between my Xbox 360 and my PS3 each month when certain games come out, having the choice of which console to play means you can take a break from one console and when you come back to it after playing the other, it feels "fresh" again.
