xBox 360, worth buying??

[No_Chance]

am in-between 2minds trying to work out if its better to get a Xbox360 or a ps3, is it worth paying the $600 odd for an xbox, bio-shock looks amazing....

there are probably more people here that'll favor the 360 over the PS3 - even though I'm a sony fan i'll probably advise u to get the 360 since sony is really trying too hard to get some of those good games to be exclusive to them. And 360 has more games and it costs less than the PS3

I favour the Xbox 360 even though mine died less that 6 months after getting it.

if it was just 6 months i think u could have contacted Microsoft and either get it fixed or trade in for a new or refurbished one - you can do that with Sony and PS2 provided by theking of this forum

Get the 360, so many awesome games are available for it.

Microsoft offer a 3year warranty for all faults and 4years warranty for the "red ring/3 lights of death"
The xbox 360 costs a lot less, has more games and of course, more used games so if you don't have lots of money to spend on getting new games you can have them used for $20.

The xbox 360 does has it's downsides, you have to pay monthly if you want to play online but the service is greater than the ps3's, it uses more power, roughly 10watts more, which equates to an extra... ?0.02p/hour (uk average) or $0.0045/hour (US average) to run.

I can honestly say the 360 is a much better option, especially if you're not a full fledged gamer or a full fledged gamer on a budget, you can get them for about $120 online for a core and a memory card 3 games and 2 controllers used on ebay if you want to.

Alot of games which normally seal the deal with getting a playstation 3 - e.g. final fantasy or GTA - these now regularly come out for the xbox - or atleast final fantasy xiii is said to be released on the xbox 360 at the same time as ps3 and has more features.

I hope my cut on this arguement of which to get helps

Definitely 360.

PS3 if you like movies

You should get an Xbox 360 Elite. They wont get the 3 red lights (apparently).

I think you should go with the 360 but it really depends on what you want.
The Xbox 360 (at the moment) has the best games all the 'BIG' PS3 Games have been really bad. Lair apparently is one of the worst games ever (IGN Gave it 16% out of 100) and Warhawk is online only.

Also the multi - format games at the moment are noticably better than on the PS3 (Like in Rainbow Six & F.E.A.R. - The controls work much better on the 360 apparently). And as for the online. You might have to pay for the Xbox 360's but its seriously better than the PS3's.

xbox 360 also right now has better graphics due to a coding more familiar to most developers meaning they can crank up the graphics more due to more efficient processing but the elite isn't more reliable than a premium.

Get 360, PS3's are not worth the extra money.
