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

Just buy it. You want it anyway. If you can't afford it right now just wait till you can. The deal might not be there forever but other deals, equal or better, will always be there somewhere at that shop or others.

For 220$ or so, I got a wiiU, 3 controllers, and 5 games. Do not buy it.

nevermind, I see you already have a wiiu.

Dude, the next gen will be here in a blink. Save your money for nexbox or ps4.

I can afford it but I guess the price is blinding me a bit. I really don't need any of the games included so waiting for a better bundle makes sense, and by then the price might be even lower.

Still, it was fun making a 360 thread. Felt we needed more of those.

Based on the games you stated you don't need Live. I'm assuming your a single player type person and I highly recommend Tales of Vesperia. If it was me and I never had a 360 before I would get it or save up for next gen hardware if you plan on getting it at launch.

You like Tales of games. Tales of Xillia is coming out soon exclusively for PS3. You like Vanquish? Vanquish is free for PS+ members.

Take all that into consideration. I hope this helps.

Glad to be of help.

 

Lost Odyssey is also awesome.

What happens to Vanquish when your PS+ runs out?

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.


I'll probably not get Live. You only need it to play online right?


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. 


I'm not interested in Halo either and I won't have to get Gears (that's what friends are for!). But, I don't have a PS3 so a 360 would give me access to games not available on PC or games that I'd just prefer to play on a console. Games like Tales of Vesperia, Vanquish and Resonance of Fate aren't available on PC and I happen to own FFXIII and Eternal Sonata for the 360 (don't ask why ). I'd also like to try out Shadow Complex because of it's similarity with Metroid.

And I'm not sure if my PC is better than a 360. On par perhaps.

I would get you already have a pretty good reason to get one it you already have Eternal Sonata which is a pretty good game.  If you get it you should also get Lost Odyssey and Infinite Undiscovery.

When you beat the game, does it matter what happens when your sub runs out?

I thought you said it was free?
