Xbox 360 Worth It?

ariolander
It is worth it especially with these new gamings coming out. If you do pick ip up you MUST get Gears of War 'cause thats the killel app and the top dog in the 360 box right now. It is definitely worth it if your playing it on a HD TV. You can milk more worth out of it if you have Xbox Live.

well now the xbox 360 is cheaper than ps3. I have also heard a lot of good stuff about it it compared to the ps3. People have said the graphics are better than ps3's. But if you can hold off until after Christmas it will probally be chaper.

There is room and rumor for another $50-100 drop on the premium system. It will most likely happen within the year to further the price point advantage Microsoft has on the PS3.

Up the ante per se once Sony gets its act together 'cause with the current PS3 shortage they ahve nor eason to drop the price right now. The faster Sony gets its act together the sooner you can expect a drop.

I've been hearing a lot about 360 from all of my friends, they all say that the graphics are amazing compared to Xbox..

Currently I have an Xbox and I want to upgrade to a 360 eventually but I don't know whether it's really worth the money right now.. Will it come down in price in the near future?

The other concern I have is that I want to be able to play my original Xbox games on my 360, is this possible?

Is it really worth the 400 some dollars (Canadian)?

Should I wait until later, maybe Christmas sales?

I should add, I don't want any hardcore PS3 fans telling me that I should wait for PS3, because all of my friends have 360 and I'd like to be able to play Xbox Live with them eventually, sorry guys wink.gif

Thanks for your help.

I just bought my 360 in July and I love it. You can play some old xbox games like: the Halos, splinter cell 2 & 3, and if u have dsl or cable u can download updates (if they have them) to be able 2 play them. the games I have are G.R.A.W, Cod2, Gears of war, Cod3 and dead rising. My xbox live gamertag is samdchief so add me when u get xbl.

If you enjoy playing video games then a 360 is a must have these days. The competition between the 360 and the ps3 was far from compelling. The 360 easily beat out ps3 and today has way more enjoyable gaming selection. As of today i only know of maybe 15 games that are even available for the ps3 which is not very good for a selection to choose from. Plus games like halo, gears of war, and crackdown make the xbox look more appealing. Not to mention that the price tag is much cheaper than a ps3 and so are the games and accessories for it.

alot of people do not understand y the ps3 is a better system ive stated these facts MANY of times(and the fact tht im using a ps3 controller to type) i will keep this breif

1. Web Browzer.
2. Run Linux, nt a emulation this option was put in the ps3 by sony. this does nt erase the XMB OS
3. XMB, easy to use & navigate, plus no lag like the 360 "blades"
4. Free online
5. Blu-ray player (movies & games vs the 360s option hd dvd drive tht only plys movies )
6. Game exclusives. Metal Gear Solid 4 (all games in the series have received a 10/10) The Getaway, Socom:Confrintation, Killzone 2, ect
7. Remote Play. Lets you connect to your ps3 via your psp, enabling your ps3 movies and music to be with u all over the world
8. Like halo 3? cause the developer (Bungie) left Microsoft. whats tht mean? no more halo (except for halo wars, but tht going to be made by another developer, and is a RTS game)
9. Home (ill have a orgas if i type so look it up)

thrs SOME things. BTW if you say acheivements, look up home

It is totally worth it. I had one, and had only one problem with it. I sent it back, though, and within a few weeks I had a working brand-new one. This thing runs great, has amazing graphics, and is simply a beast. Xbox Live is a GO too. Playstation 3 and the Wii are behind in the online scene. Buying this will save you money from buying the PS3, and the childish Wii. Hope this helped!

    christmas time which would make a great gift. The games that are coming out wil blow away alot of

    Series. The mulitplayer in Halo 2 is THE BEST. Banshees in multiplayer, many fun levels, XBox Live
