Title: Is getting an xbox 360 worth it?
Post by: Grand Poobah Marx on September 25, 2007, 09:15:17 pm
I have three younger bros that might want to contribute.  I've gots a little shopping list..
That'll be like 450+ totalish.  My questions are a. is it worth it (halo 3 is soooo sick) and b. if I have a Comcast cable cord already connected to another tv, can I connect it to my xbox for live so I can save the 100 buckers?  I will of course have some comcast guy help me set up internets down there..

IS IT ALL WORTH IT??

Lol if its a joke.

If not I recommend Gears of War, Battlefield MC, and some others. The 360 is the best console for people who like "guy" games. IE explosions, cool online and nice sweet graphics.

Ya, It looks sick, but is it worth blowing 500 buckers?

Honestly? No. I prefer PC gaming myself. Better online support, better graphics, more precise gameplay and better games for shooter and online gamers.

If you have the money and will be playing it...

Then yeah why not? Personally I'm simply not a FPS person so, the consoles clearly not for me. But if you're into that, and graphics, and online play. Then it's totally worth it.

YES. Please don't listen to C-zom when it comes to this (Excuse me, C-zom). Get yourself a 360. So much greatness on it.

Get a Wii.

Seriously, every time girls come over to my apartment they squeal when they see it, and want to play.

Math time!

Girls + simple video games > No girls + high tech video games

I don't have a 360, but it's worth it.

I'm getting one with my Christmas cash, along with GHII (I'll have GHIII for it already...my roomie has a 360), Halo 1-3, and a few other games.

I think it is worth it. I just don't like those wireless controllers, seems like their is a reaction delay to me. And the controllers also feel weird in my hands (I have special right hand...)

i love the 360 controller. then again, i was like... the only person in the world who liked the original (huge) xbox controllers. although the egg shaped buttons hurt after a while. but yeah, i see no reaction delay whatsoever, and i know wireless can be amazing (just look at logitech's g7 mouse - which i also own). if there's one controller that isn't ergonomical, it's the wii. i liked the gamecube one though. my hands are a bit too big for the ps2/ps3 controller.

Yeah I know
I just want to let any other indecisive potential 360 people to know
that a 360 is allways a good decision...

Allways!

If you have not more than $3k to blow away on a PC the 360 is defiantly the best way to go. Graphics are great even though dipshit geeks complain about seeing pixels. The games are excellent, and the system is backwards compatible with all other xbox games which you can get for no more than $10 typically.The online action is always packed with heat from people all over: Halo 3 always has millions of people playing.

Bottom line is as far as consoles, and not being a rich brat riding on your folks wealth the 360 is obviously is the way to go.

make sure you buy the nice new ones with hdmi. they have far lower rates of death.

my older one got the red ring of death last week, and it will be in the xbox hospital for a month.

It is so worth it. The 360 has Rock Band and Halo 3 which are both awesome games
I go to my friends house like every weekend just to play Halo and Rock Band. The online play is awesome and its just cool. Plus you get an awesome mike thing which lets you talk.
