-edit-

Nevermind, I'm guessing you're talking about disc format not being HD.  Who cares?  It keeps the console cheaper.

A) 3 year warranty.  If your 360 lasts three years I wouldn't worry too much.

B) Sure, free is better, but look at the PSN and you see what you get for free.  And don't take this as PSN is bad, it's just Live is noticeably better.

C) Meh, who cares?

D) From what I hear that only happens if you move around your console with a disc in it while it's on.  I've at least never had a disc scratched and mine are still in new condition.

E) Like?  The only thing close to necessary would be the wireless adapter and that isn't necessary.  A lot of serious multiplayer people don't even go wireless.

F) XBox Live bans?  You mean people that are dumb enough to mod their console or cheat and get caught?  It's not like MS just randomly bans people, people get themselves ban so that's not really a negative.

 



Looks like TWesterm is becoming quite the X360 fan



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I've been a 360 fan since I got one (though never much of an XBox fan, in fact, I still don't like it).

Whoops, forgot to say the best and worst:

Best

  • Games-- very wide selection and multiplatform games seem to be better or equal to the PS3 more often than not.
  • Achievements-- compared to trophies, achievements are great.

Worst

  • Noise-- it's like a jet engine
  • Heat-- I can't keep anything by my 360 because it gets so hot
  • Bomberman Zero


yeah, i forgot about achievements and overheating, but I agree about accessories, the only one I've bought is the battery pack, i use y ethernet cable to connect to Xbox live, also the xbox bans are only when you use copies online (even if you have your console modded, when you play online only with originals it's very hard they get you); but this poll wasn't to discuss, it's only to see people's opinion about many others say to criticize the 360 XDD
The worst problem to me would be the paying multiplayer, I mean, it's excellent, but it could be "not-so-expensive", 25 or 30 dls should be fine :D

Feel free to add me as your friend-PSN ID: Bobo012893

the best of the Xbox 360 is Vesperia

The worse is a tie between LO and ES.

The best of the PS3 is Bioshock.

The worse of the PS3 is its fanbase.



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.
