First X360 GRAW, Oblivion and XLive were the reasons for buying one.
HaloWars + XLive was the reason for the second one.

Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

Halo, Xbox Live and the fact that I had 60 or so good friends on my friends list that were starting to transfer over and i wanted to keep playing with them.

Even with one dead box and my current one dying and about to be replaced, I have no regrets. I wish I DIDN'T have to buy a new one, but I will. And that says alot about the quality of the experiences I've had.



Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?

Because it's the best system this gen.

  XBOX 360:

  • Best controller.

  • Leading console for Hardcore Gamers. Biggest community.
  • Best game library since 2005.
  • Best exclusives (PS3 is becoming serious in this area now (at last...))
  • Best graphics. Remember Gears of War in 2006?!!!! (PS3 is becoming serious in this area now (at last...))
  • Best online service.
  • Achievements since launch on EVERY game.

  • Brand loyalty (Microsoft is strong and offensive. Sony won't be able to compete against Microsoft next gen)
  • Xbox Live Arcade (Trials HD, Portal, Rez HD, Banjo-Kazooie, Geometry Wars, and 200 more games)

  • Best price and warranty.

and let's not forget:

  • the amazing MASS EFFECT franchise


All reasons why I bought the Xbox 360.

 



     

My Gaming Setup

naznatips on 14 February 2010

Frankly it was an impulse buy. It was down to $200 and I was seeing games for it pop up quite cheap at a local used games shop. I bought the games first lol. I intended to buy it at some point but not anytime within a few months of when I actually did.

I haven't regretted it. It's been nice owning everything, even if I don't usually get the multiplats on it, and it's only RROD'd on me once in 2 years, for which i feel lucky. I loved netflix on it too.
