Forums - Microsoft - Help! Convince me not to buy a very cheap and sexy 360! >_< Save my wallet!

forest-spirit on 27 February 2013

So I was browsing an online store and by accident ended up looking at 360 hardware. And, I just happened to come across this very attractive 360 for ~$180. It's the 250GB model and you get the new Tomb Raider + Forza 4 & Skyrim. Sooo cheap! Really don't care about Forza and I already own Skyrim, and I sort of isn't that interested in Tomb Raider. But still, it's really, really cheap! And I could play Metal Gear Revengeance on it, and finally get Vanquish, perhaps get Tales of Vesperia and Resonance of Fate too!

Urgh, but I got a Wii U at launch and I've been a PSP owner for less than a month. My ever increasing Steam library hates me. I really don't need another console right now, but it's so damn tempting. A new 360 slim with a brand new game for 180 bucks. Is it supposed to be that cheap?

 

I need help. Please tell me why I shouldn't get this gorgeous piece of awsomeness. Or, tell me why I should get it. Actually just do the latter because I have a feeling that I'll end up with this babe no matter what you say and I will need someone to assure me that I did the right thing.

well look at it this way, you will be paying for live for atleast a year, thats another 50 bucks to your 180$, add another 50 bucks for every year you want live with it.

to do anything online from what i understood. here is the thing, if you already have a PC and your not interested in Forza then you only have two noticable games left to play, which are gears and halo. is it really worth getting the xbox for these two franchises that, mind you, you wont be able to play online? considering that you have a PC that will play your games on a higher quality level of graphics. if these two franchises are worth 180$ bucks to get access to, then you got your answer.
