Forums - Microsoft - 360 owners only: Would you rebuy a 360 again?

kn on 25 July 2008

Hell Yeah I'd do it again. I don't like the company, microsoft, at all... but the game machine has provided me some serious smiles (when working, lol). There's just too much goodness in that little white box. I'm hoping that one day they release a slimline with built-in wifi. I'll re-buy.



I hate trolls.

I bought my 360 in the first 2 weeks it was out. I never have, nor never will stand in line to buy any product.

Would I buy a current model, now? No. Will I buy a better 360 when they are $299 (Jasper)? Yes.

Once the reliability concerns are truly fixed, I will buy another one (mine is going out).

I am a working professional with a lot of discretionary income however, so cost is not that big of a deal (value always is). If I was on a budget, I am not sure $350 for a 360 would be worth it. For just a little more you could get a PC that play's 90% of it's exclusives, and plays them better.

I have a new higher end PC (quad core, 4 gig of ram, ATI HD 4850), so the only games I really care about on the 360 at the moment, is LO, Gears 2, and Fable 2. For me, those games and the library I already have warrant the 300 price tag. If I was starting from scratch, and looking at a $350 60 gig vs PC, I would not buy a 360.

Yep. Damnit, I just noticed my kill death ratio is going down. I am playing Team Swat too much.

 

Haha grade 2 colonel.  That's not good at all.  And Team Swat is easy.  Should be going positive all the time in that... unless ya got shitty teammates.

 

As for me... yea I probably would.  But after this upcoming pricedrop haha.

I waited for 15-18 hours outside my local Best Buy to purchase my 360. I remember the night vividly. I had a propane heater, numerous blankets and a Thermos full of hot cocoa. Would I again brave the elements to purchase my 360...yes.

 

lol, That's just because camping out is fun

 

LOL.

Truth be told, that is the main reason I would do it again.

I would definitely rebuy one. The exclusives available on the platform are just amazing. Gears of War? Halo 3? Mass Effect (even if it's on PC, this is THE game you suggest to your friends when they are buying a 360)? Ninja Gaiden II? Lost Odyssey, and many more? And Xbox Live is a great service, even if it's $50 a year. I just can't wait for 'Left 4 Dead', another awesome online experience with Live.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

I bought my 360 in August/September of 2007, when it was readily available in any store that sold them. So yes, I'd do it again. Although I don't fully understand your question.

I guess it boils down to buyer's remorse. I sometimes regret my decision to buy a PS3. Seriously, I am glad it's the 20gb one, but I could have used my money better somewhere else. I know there are a few 360 owners who feel the same way. I am curious and want to see their responses. Maybe it will explain why I feel the way I do about my PS3.

Not a grade 2 colonel haha.  I'm a brigadier... highest level is 46 in Team Slayer and also have a 45 in Team Swat.  Have about 740 EXP thereabouts.  Can't say I'm amazing but not a grade 2 colonel.  Now if I make it to grade 2 Brigadier then well people can talk shit about me haha.

I have a 360 from Lune 2007, and hell yeah, I 'd buy it a million times.
Wait, you mean, if it died on me and I couldn't fix it, or if I made the choice of buying a 360 from the beginning?
In both cases hell yeah!
I own almost 70 games and there are already 30 that are waiting in my want list (that are already released)
And I'm terrified with the idea of how many are yet to come, in 2008 ONLY!
I also own a Wii (with which I was excited at the beginning, you know, RE4, MP3, NMH, SMG etc) but now, it officially collects dust. And my little sister doesn't live here anymore...
My PS3 on the other hand is a DUST COLLECTOR from the beginning. The only games I care about (R&C and Uncharted), I didn't play them in my PS3, so, it lost the only chance to be used, till God of War arrives. I don't watch blu rays, since I'm just waiting for the LOTR rerelease. And my DVD player suits me fine!
