Ouchy Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 After many years, I've finally decided that I am finally going to get an xbox 360. However, I have some questions regarding buying one... Should I buy it brand new, or should I get one second hand?If new, what advantages does the 250gb slimline have over the normal one?If second hand, is there a manufacturing date that I need to be aware of?Also, do I have to buy Microsoft's wifi adapter or can i use any wifi adapter that plugs into USB? Thanks guys. My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giordano Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Yes, while I strongly suggest NOT to buy this, I would have to recommend the bigger hard drive, because in the long run it'll save you money from the Micro$oft demon.

Dexek Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I was going to buy one as well since I recently gave back the one I was borrowing, however I felt it'd be in my best interest to wait for the Christmas holiday deals.

Kimberly Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Go for the built-in wifi slim if you plan to play online. If you don't, get a Ps3 unless you have your heart set on 360 exclusives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champion Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Yeah, if you need to use a wireless connection, definitely get the new one. I had to shell out an extra $100 for it. I personally would just get the 4GB cuz I don't really download anything, but if you plan on downloading stuff, get the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albel Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Get the new one for sure. The older 360s are crap; 120GB hard drive, big and bulky, and can still get the RROD and sound like a 747 taking off. The new slims have a 250GB hard drive, a lot smaller, they don't break NEAR as often, and run quite...

Ouchy Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 Get a PS3. /thread. May I ask why you are opting towards a 360? Lolnothx. First, X-Box is cheaper than a PS3. I don't need Bluray or anything else it has. Second, X-Box has exclusives I like. Third, I've always like X-Box's over PlayStation. It appeals to me more. Fourth, I don't like PS3's controller. To be honest it's just opinion. PS3 is a brilliant machine, but I'll always like XBox's over them. My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity.

Shiny Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I prefer the controller, the fact I don't need to pay online and the exclusives it has. And blu-ray is a huge plus. But it would be a hard choice because I have heaps of friends on Xbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you don't like the exclusives the PS3 has right now and more importantly you want a better online experience, then by all means, you've got all the knowledge you need to make your next purchase. Enjoy it! This thread isn't a console vs console troll thread anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
