Hello everyone, I hope you all are having an enjoyable evening. Hehe, I know, it's quite a rare occasion that you'll find me on the off topic boards, talking about something like a Microsoft game console at 11PM.

 

 

 

To start off, I've always been a Nintendo gamer. I'm not a pure fanboi, but I've never really owned a non-Nintendo console. However, the dramatization, dedication, depth, and beauty of the Halo 3 trailer really is starting to convince me to buy the Xbox 360 console. That, and the additional features the Xbox has, such as the high-potential Xbox Live social-system, the marketplace, etc. For those interested, I am buying the Xbox 360 Premium Console (luckily, the holiday bundle, so two free games for me! :))

 

 

 

I suppose what I'm asking, is, To Buy a 360, or Not To Buy a 360. Post your opinions on the 360 (and Halo 3), what you like about them, what you dislike about them, and any problem(s) you've had.

 

 

 

Thanks everyone for reading!

I'd go for a wii. I mean Halo 3 is just one game, and the wii is the way of the future.

Hehe, I already have a Wii :) Sorry about forgetting to add that. I'm not even sure if I'll have enough money for the console by Christmas, but I'm still interested in fellow Tip.Iter's reviews

halo 3 is a good game and all but what you have to remember is that its the same future based kill the aliens FPS games if your going to buy buy the 360 get assassins creed =P~

Why is it people think that the only game worth it on the 360 seems to be halo 3?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

anyways I would get one. A lot of good games are coming out soon / already out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For example, Assassians Creed and Mass effect are both coming out within the new few weeks, and Skate came out about a month ago (really good game IMO).

 

 

 

 

 

A lot of other stuff coming too.

Moving to video games 8-)

 

 

 

P.S: Like Nadril, I'd highly suggest looking into Assassin's Creed. I'm not a big fan of console games, playing just a few times a year.. But heck, that game alone would be worth a 360.

Thanks double :) I'll look into the video real quick

Just get one. You wont regret it.

Oblivion, F.E.A.R., gears of war, guitar hero, halo 3, assasins creed..

 

All good reasons to get a 360 imo.

Uh, GTA IV anyone?

Uh, GTA IV anyone?

 

 

 

Uh, stfu?

 

 

 

Another overrated game.

 

 

 

Anyway get one they are good consoles...but haven't we had this topic about 5 times now?

We get the idea mate, you don't like GTA.

get an Xbox360. cos you'll be able to buy GTA IV when it comes out :thumbsup: =P~ (the other games are good too)

Halo3 is a VERY good game.

Halo3 is a VERY good game.

 

 

 

No.

Halo3 is a VERY good game.

 

 

 

No.

 

 

 

Well thats MY opinion of it

Halo3 is a VERY poor game.

 

 

 

Thats better.

 

 

 

Play half life.

I've heard Halo3 is only good if your doing online multiplayer (Xbox live)

 

but I don't really like Halo much so i didn't buy it.

Halo 3 is awesome for online multiplayer.

 

 

 

and buy the 360. Did you know that Ace Combat 6 actually boosted 360's sales in Japan that it went above the PS3?

 

 

 

But if you get the 360, buy the Orange Box and Call of Duty 4

I'd go for a wii. I mean Halo 3 is just one game, and the wii is the way of the future.

LOL?

 

Wii's are no where near as good as Xbox 360's. Their graphics sucks and they have very few good games. Get an Xbox 360, and don't just buy Halo 3, get games like Assassin's Creed, Oblivion, GoW and Call of Duty 4

I have a wii, and i was wondering about getting an xbox 360, but im afraid it will break :oops:

the Mario Galaxy game is supposed to be near Xbox levels in terms of graphics. I'm not sure if they're talking about the first or the current one.

three year warranty. get it fixed if it breaks

I'm looking into buying a 360 as well, but then I'm thinking that it doesn't really have any exclusives save for Halo 3 that interests me. All games mentioned in this thread will/has already been released for the PC - except from Mass Effect, but I don't know if I'm excited about it or not, since it looks pretty much exactly like KoTOR and there aren't any gameplay videos out that I've found. I've also always prefered sitting with a keyboard and mouse than a gamecontroller.

Buy a 360.

 

 

 

 

 

Halo 3

 

Mass Effect

 

The Outfit

 

Oblivion

 

Orange Box

 

Crackdown

 

Call of Duty 4

 

Bioshock

 

Assasins Creed

 

 

 

 

 

And waaaay more. P.S. These are all exclusives and Mass Effect will be a trilogy.

These are all exclusives

 

Not even half the games you listed are exclusives.
