What francise made you buy a 360? Vote here.

Halo 72 39.56%
 
Gears 60 32.97%
 
Fable 9 4.95%
 
Forza 3 1.65%
 
Mass Effect 33 18.13%
 
Splinter Cell 5 2.75%
 
Total:182

It was actually The Elderscrolls that made me buy a 360 but in the back of my mind I also got a 360 because I knew that Bioware would release gems such as Mass Effect on it. But both The Elderscrolls and Bioware's games are multiconsole now so Microsoft better offer me something shiny nextgen or I might jump ship. They have Fable which is always good but if Sony can offer me one other AAA wRPG then it's fair game.

Gears of War definitely.

No multiplayer experience comes close (except Halo).

For me thats a big LOL, every multiplayer experience (that Ive played) surpasses it (Halo, Cod 4, Cod 5, MW2, RF Guerilla, GTA!V).

Halo 3 made me want a 360 as Id play the first two and wanted to know how the story ended (this was before I had Xbox Live)

Same here ehehehehehehe

Once you go blac.... you never come.... What? Once you go XBOX LIVE you never go "behind"

Someone said Lost Planet? What a great game!




I bought it for Halo 3. Gears of War just turned out to be the kick-ass icing on the cake.

None of the above, I bought it because it was cheaper. I would buy one 10 times over though to play Mass Effect 1 and 2.

Yup! A LOT different in my case! I have 4 games to the PS3 and 40 to the XBOX360, that's 36 differences and counting!




hmm, should I turn into a troll or not...
Nah, no trolling for me.

I still don't have an Xbox360, but would gladly except it as a gift, hint hint.



Halo. I bought my 360 on launch day so i didnt know any of these other games were coming out and i didnt care. I played halo 2 on my 360 until Gears 1 came out and then i started playing halo 3 when it launched.



Long Live SHIO!

I went with Gears, but Mass Effect was a close second and Halo obviously played a factor.
