You may as well get a 360.
Yes its not good being in love with just one brand.

@OP If you consider Mass Effect a large factor to buy a 360, I'd say don't bother.
get a used late 2008 pro you should be okay because you'll need the hard drive to install your games on it cause the 360 is so noisy, also there's plenty of neat xbla games out there but if I were you I would get a wii cause if you only interested in three exclusive you wont play your 360 much don't do the same mistake I did
Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

I wouldn't. Especially if your old PC isn't rocking an i7. Most of those games run like ass on a dual core processors. Plus, PC gaming is rife with problems lately. The cost to "upgrade" is much higher than 299, you don't get some of the games, you have to deal with DRM, and you have to play them at your computer unless you build an elaborate setup like I have. Plus, once you get it built, you are always checking framerates, and worrying, and it becomes more about your "rig" and your pride for it, than it does about playing the games. As a Very High 1080p Crysis rig owner, I can honestly say, the 360 is a much, much better gaming investment. You get graphics and online mods, but you also lose a lot, and that's what PC gamers won't tell you about. |
What you said is mostly true and I don't want to get into a PC vs. console argument right now.
I would like to make one point however. On consoles, you are stuck with whatever FPS the developer has the game running at. I own Fallout 3 for PS3 and the framerate often dips in outside areas. I am forever stuck with that, there is no way I can make my PS3 more powerful so the framerate is better.
On my PC, I bought the Witcher and Mass Effect. While I could lower the graphics and get a perfect framerate, I decided I will wait and get a more powerful rig before playing the game. I know they are older games now, but I am happy that I can upgrade my computer at any time and play them with amazing graphics.
when all you have is a ps3 it is easy to see why he is thinking to get another system...
Go for it...look in the back and get urself a Jasper...and you're gtg!

Conclution is - You're cheaper off buy purchasing an Arcade + HDD, or a Pro.

Was going to tell him to get an Xbox but, c'mon just get serious now... you certainly do not need to be "rocking an i7" to get playing! A dual core processor will be more than sufficient to game on! Are you trying to be over the top?
The cost to "upgrade" is certainly not high, you buy at the right place at the right time and you sell, simple! You save money on the games, and the games have much longertivity thanks to all kind of mods available.
I guess your a very paranoid person worrying so much about your "rig" then sir. (Must stop "" you :D)
Only thing I see that I'll lose is all those AAA exclusive games(Also note that you'll be losing these exclusive game for the PC if you opt for another platform of choice!), but having all 3 current gen consoles plus a PC I don't lose out.
i would get 1 too for some games that i think i would like
like l4d gears dead rising1 thats all i could think of for now (i wanting l4d really badly to come to the ps3) but im just a 1 console per gen guy i dont think u could put 100% of ur love into more than 1 system
i would wait a few weeks there going to bundle games to the arcade and elite skus for the holidays good ones too for this year might as well pay 300 and get 2 free games while ur at it
