Is it worth getting a X360 just because of Xbox LIVE?!

yup, is it worth or not. I already own a PS3,i was actually gonna buy a X360 Elite. But im thinking of if its worth getting a X360?. Or should i just wait for new PS3 firmwares?. I want to know what i should spend my money on?, X360 or buy new PS3 games?

Why buy a 360 for the service? Why not the games. If you don't want to play the games then buy other games for your PS3

i thought xbox live was one of the reasons people dont buy 360's

Of course its not. Now if you were to say "for the games" it would make a little more sense.

no, PSN is way better, don't believe the 360 fanboys, all it has that PSN doesn't is cross game chat which hardly anyone cares about

Why would you buy it solely for the online service? Try for the games, there are some real classics on the system.

Live is better implemented than PSN, but it's not worth simply buying the system for that :?

VeryGnawty

aside from the games, as far as the service goes you have to ask "is $50 a year worth cross game chat and a couple other options"

to me, it isn't. to some it is

Its worth getting a 360 for Live, Xbla, exclusives, multiplats, controller, etc

Xbox Live is one of the main reasons i own one. If the Xbox had an online setup like PSN, i would think much less of it as a console overall.

PS3 has great exclusives and hardware. The Xbox has a great onlinecommunity, setup, and good exclusives.

In my opinion of course.

all live has over psn i cross game chat and a 50 bucks fee. so no, don't buy 1. just get more ps3 gameskweeni

Online isn't worth crap unless you have games to use it with.SpiritOfFire117

Well some of you guys thought like you said does thing like sarcasm?,or was it just me. Of course i will get games,but only games i will get is Halo3 and ODST + maybe L4D2 but i can get that on PC 2 so its not worth it

No Console is worth for its online service, they are only worth if you like the games that particular console has

HHAHA no. This has a fee. Go for the other consoles and systems where its free.

No console is worth it for an online service by itself. Great games make LIVE what it is. A 360 is definitely a good purchase for the games (which in turn makes LIVE better) so go buy one now.

i wish i could buy 360, but its just the live PRICe thats stopping me.

IMO buy the 360 for the games. But yea if you have the mmoney to spend get it. :P Doesnt hurt to own both.

It really depends on what you want from online.

If you want bare bones functionality, PSN should be sufficient. But if you want more... like community events, active community leadership, cross-game invites and a party system, then you may want to step it up to Xbox Live.

So the answer is... it depends.

Guys is the community the LIVE system or not?

Semantics.

In a way, yes. Subscribers are just a group of people that play online. But XBL is the means by which they stay cohesive and active. XBL is how that random group of folks becomes a community. MS really puts alot of effort into keeping that line of communication and activity going. They have very active and vocal staff that goes to industry events and meets with the end-users. On top of the themed nights on their community calendar, there are events like Game with Fame, Game with Devs and the Community Playdate... on top of their community developer and ambassador programs.

Based on my experience with both, XBL just does more to cater to their userbase. Sony just throws features out there and leaves it to devs/publishers and users to use or not.

But hey, that's just my opinion. Mileage will vary.
