Forums - Microsoft - Shall I... buy an Xbox 360?

shio said:

Build a PC for 600 euros, because:
- It has more and better games than Xbox 360.
- It has better graphics
- Free and better Online
- Games are Cheaper, and PC is overall cheaper than Xbox 360
- Steam is incredibly convenient
- PC will last longer than Xbox 360
- Braid is coming to PC, and eventually Fable 2 and Halo 3 too
- Audiosurf, Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Stalker, Stalker Clear Sky will easilly replace Far Cry Instincts

The downside is lack of JRPGs, even though The Last Remnant is coming to PC, and Final Fantasy XIII probably too.

You're such a knob. If you'd taken the time to actually look at his profile....

DO IT.. you wont regret..!

how could u be so confident ?? i sure as hell regreted it after my RROD

bottom line the only game worth playing for the xbox 360 is halo 3 online!!! it was hella fun

 

Terrible. Obviously marginalization by a PS3 owner.

Confident you've never owned a 360.

I've never in my life owned a console that I enjoyed so much, yet so many people consistantly tried to marginalize its greatness. It's like if there was a pro-Genesis forum during the SNES era, this would be it.

Sure RRoD sucks. However, if you judge the console strictly on quality level of library, premise of game-related functionality, game selection, and enjoyment added to the games from the console itself, it's a fantastic console, and I can't find anyway around that conclusion. Of course, those things are completely unrelated to price, non-game related functionality, and dependability.

However the issue is that Sony fanboys, instead of arguing their strengths(Value, Non-game functionality, dependability) try to argue that their console is also significantly ahead in library quantity and game-related functionality. Yet, the console has significantly a significantly smaller quantity of what I consider relevant games(imo), relative poor implimented and non-requesite(to developers) achievements, no cross game voice chat, and no console-based custom soundtracks(which are as we all know, awesome). Now, these features will be added and the Ps3 will get some more great exclusive and multiplat games really soon(on top of an already good library of titles), but arguing for something that will one day occour, is counting your chickens before they hatch.

The PS3 is significantly better than the 360 in a number of areas, but the 360 is better than the PS3 in a few, as well. Arguing for the PS3 can be done really successfully...or you can end up sounding like a fanboy. Know your strengths.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

invest in a stock portfolio!

RROD

 

Trolling will not be tolerated.  If you don't have anything to add to the topic but flamebait then exit the thread.  Consider this your warning.



To Each Man, Responsibility

get the 360 it's a great deal!



buy sony stock! reap the rewards with experience in the market, life is precious and so is your money!



Of`course you should!
Then HACK it. =)

There are plenty worth trying/downloading x360 games!

p.s.
1. of`course if you don`t care about SCRATCHED DISCs - that often happens with x360 games.
2. and if you are not afraid that after 2-3 years your x360 may get RROD and you won`t be able to play your BOUGHT games.
Then, maybe don`t hack it. =))



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
PS2 2001 vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =) + New games released in Japan by 2009 that passed 100k so far

Go for it. I have never had a scratched disc and the RRoD I had was quick and painlessly fixed. Cheap way to enjoy some great HD games.
