Yeah, at least wait for PS3 to come out before making a decision.

Sony's made a lot of changes to the original plan and it's going to come out different than expected.

Especially since they are actually putting work into a kickass PS3 online system.

Because sony has such a great history with online properties...oh wait.

And they just started this online arena what, 8 months before release?

And they still don't have an actual unit, all the pictures you see are still non-working empty boxes.

And they still don't have a pricepoint.

And they still don't have a finalized feature set.

Reminds me of the last days of 3dfx

There aren't any games that are worth shelling out the $400 for. You need an HDTV to get the full benefit.

yes if you have an hdtv. bf2 online is pretty fun, well actually almost all the games are good online. no lag or anything. xbox live is kicking ass right now. and to all the ps2 fanboys, ill say that i think the ps3 will not be in a comparable price range with xbox 360. i really think they cant afford to sell it for less than $600-700 which is getting rediculous.

I had an Xbox 360 for about 2 months.

Then I realized I had too much school work to ever use it.

So I sold it on eBay for $75 over retail and haven't looked back

If you have that much free time on your hands ... you should probably be using it instead to do one or all of the following:
A) Improving your GPA and/or Graduate Test Scores
B) Improving your resume through self-taught skills, becoming active in an organization, etc.
C) Getting a Girlfriend/Boyfriend
D) Working out at a Gym
E) Masturbating

360 is awesome... it's got a few good games but for $400... you could buy 80% of a new computer that would do all that it does, connect to your HDTV, AND do a lot more.

1) Gameplay hasn't changed in 5 years
2) New games only offer slight graphical updates
3) Games now cost $60
4) All the good games that ever amount to anything will more than likely end up on the PC where they can be patched, modded, played online without an xbox live bill showing up in the mail, and purchased cheaper.


I guess I'm just jaded on consoles/games now. Maybe because I'm older or maybe because they haven't done much of anything to catch my attention of late.

more expensive games... but you can play the latest greatest game for 3 solid years or more. versus a PC requires a $100-300 upgrade every year in order to play the latest grame the best possible way.

there are no good games for 360 that you can't play on your pc.

these games are cheaper on the pc.

There are also good pc games that will never be on 360.

for the price of a 360 you could upgrade your computer so it could play any new game that comes out in the next 3-4 years.

xbox live, while a very good service, costs $$

if someone is at your house and you're playing xbox 360, you'd feel obligated to let them play with you. if you were playing on the computer, there'd be less of an obligation because in most cases, they can't.
