Xbox 360: Yes or No?

[Andre]

Here we go guys. With only 30 days left untill the North American launch of the first next generation video game system, it is finally dawning on people that they probably won't win the Every 10 Minutes contest. But, that leaves them the question, to buy or not to buy? With the Playstation 3 and Nintendo Revolution's information scarce, people look to the Xbox 360 and wonder, should I wait? Should I just get Nintendo's Revolution because I'm a fanboy? Should I get the PS3 because of the graphical power? Well, I don't care what they think, but what about you?

[BKSonic1234]

I'll probably buy it, but I chose that I hadn't decided yet, 'cause I'm not positive. If I do get it, I'll wait till the price goes down.

[R Hunter]

I'm getting one to experience the awesomeness that is Halo. Not right now though as I also intend to get a N-Rev, Halo or not i'm nintendo down to my soul. So i'm going to wait until the price dips a bit.

[Gold Jinjo]

I'm buying the limited edition Perfect Dark, but not the 360 itself until I can afford it. Bloody Microsoft.

[Banjo's Banjo]

Don't plan on buying an X-Box 360 until I see proof that there will actually be something worth my money on the system. Otherwise I have no plans on purchasing this system at all.

[SimpleFun]

No way I'm getting it.
1. Console is too expensive
2. Games might be too expensive
3. Nintendo Revolution will cost enough as is.

[Gaming Master2k]

I'm definetly buying one. I was plesently surprised with the way the Xbox handled itself in my gaming center. I finally got my parents to get a credit card (paper work is on the way) and so I can pay and get the good Xbox Live with it.

That being said, I will wait a little bit for it. I have to save up for it and because I'm in Australia it comes out later anyway.

[Grey Jinjo]

I'll get one when Revoltion comes out. Then as a competitive edge it'll be cheaper and bundled with stuff. It really isn't that long of a wait until then.

[Blank]

If I were loaded, I would definitely buy one. But I want Playstation 3 and Revolution a little more than I want a 360. Maybe I'll get one when it's all over and Microsoft is working on their next-next-gen console, but other than that time, I have very little hope of buying this thing...

It would be pretty sweet to have a rich aunt/uncle/etc. who just happens to see it and buys it for little 'ole me. But how many people actually have Moneybags relatives? I'm dreaming again...

[Gruntling]

At this point, I don't think I'll buy one. Price isn't the determining factor though. Even if it's expensive and I want one, I'll make sure I get it somehow or another. The determining factor for me is the games. If a new Banjo game surfaces then I'll likely get one. Until that point though, I don't have any real reason to purchase one. I'm not really into the Xbox scene too much.

[Banjzooie]

As awesome as Halo is, I'm not getting a 360 just for it. I didn't even get the original X-box for Halo; when I want to play Halo I just go over to my friend's house. There's no doubt about it, the N-Rev is my system of choice.

[Zy0n7]

Nintendo 'till the doomsday :p

[o_z]

I'll get the Rev and PS3, maybe the 360 if a new Banjo game is announced. >_>

[Skill]

I going to get a PS3 and Rev way in the future but as for the 360 if there a new banjo on it i'll get one really cheap when it's dead because i don't like xbox as much as playstation or nintendo.

[Twist]

You fail. How can you say no to 360 when RARE are on there? Its a no-brainer, really.

[vaticandrummer]

I played a 360 demo disc at my local Wal Mart the other day and I can say that it was awesome! I played the new Kameo game and it is really fun. I'm not familiar with the previous Kameo games, but this one seemed like it would be really fun to play once the full game is released.

[Twist]

Can I ask you? Was the gameplay upto Rare's better standards? :wink:

[Andre]

Can I ask you? Was the gameplay upto Rare's better standards? :wink:

I can answer, as I also got to try it. The 360 was very fun and the graphics were awesome, but something was just lacking. The gaming just did not seem right.

[vaticandrummer]

I agree, it feels likes something is left out, sort of like the 'personality', so to speak. Maybe I'm referring to the finishing touches that sort of make the game feel like a Rare original...it sort of felt bland.

[Hakey Wake]

You fail. How can you say no to 360 when RARE are on there? Its a no-brainer, really.

Because Rareware aren't a 1337 developer anymore? Heck, the rate at which they put out games makes Blizzard look like EA.

As to the question, at the moment it is a solid NO, the 360 in my eyes is a weaker PS3 with absolutely no software that interests me at all.

[mrfleshcadge]

I am 100% getting an Xbox 360. I have ordered the pack thing with all the accessories for only £230(approx)!

[Heffy]

I probably will be, once it's price lowers and Banjo-Threeie is released.

[Icy Guy]

I think I'm going to get a 360. I probably won't get one at launch, but I'll probably end up with it around Christmastime.

If I don't get one, I'm going to rip off Gold's idea and buy the limited edition of Perfect Dark Zero (which I'll buy if I DO get a 360).

[OmegaPirate]

I will eventually get one but i'm undecided as to when.
But there was hardly any games that i wanted on Xbox 1.
Real pity that Rare only made 2 games for the system, that must change for XB360 or else.
