It's fairly obvious that most people who buy the 360 (or the original Xbox) got it for Halo. I bought an original Xbox for Halo and Halo 2. I played them both and I felt that both were fairly average shooters. Personally I don't get what's so great about Halo.

I'm getting a 360 for Christmas (my parents have already bought it but I can't open it until Christmas morning) and I plan on getting Gears of War and Bioshock. I've played both for extensive periods of time and I love them both.

But do you think that's it's weird that I'm getting a 360 but I'm not getting Halo?

not weird at all. alot of people dont like halo. still its one of the most important games for Microsoft. I do play halo, like itand I got all three, but I bought an xbox(1) for DOA3 and Ghost Recon...lol now thats weird.

if you dont like halo, buy gears and Bioshock, excellent choice. I also recommend Rainbow6

Well I know that, but I mean when you Xbox most people think Halo. That's the game everybody wants to get. Except for me and lots of other people of coarse.

I don't find that wierd at all, even though I'm a huge fan of the Halo genre and I have Halo 3. ButI didn't get my 360 just forHalo 3. To tell you the truth, whenI got my 360, Iwasn't even really thinking about Halo 3 much. The 360 has so much more to offer then just Halo 3, even though it's an amazing game.

i bought it for gears truthfully, and if you hear people talking about it on live i would try and avoid mentioning that you dont like halo, they tend to become racists pricks if you dont like halo (some of them atleast)

^the thruth right there, youll get into pointless neverending fights if you mention"dont like halo" too much. please dont go there, Youll lose.

still I find this kind off a pointless thread to be honest. just because you want everyone to know you wont buy the 360 for halo?

Halo may be the main reason I am getting a 360, but the system has a lot of other great games in its library as well.

I sure as hell didn't buy my 360 for Halo. Sure I got the game but I didn't understand the hype seeing as it looked like an average FPS with lacklustre graphics to me, most overhyped game of the century no doubt imho.

I got the 360 for exclusive games like Blue Dragon, Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, Bioshock and Cry On. The world doesn't revolve aound Halo's averageness you know!!!

You're not missing anything with Halo. You got Gears and Bioshock...and what I would give to get to play Gears all over again for the first time. Enjoy!

No, I meant "Other People" as in the people who have responded to this thread and said that they don't like Halo either.

Not at all. I don't like Halo either, but there's so many other good games available for it. I didn't like Halo or Halo 2 either, but when 3 came around I figured I'd give the series another shot. Now I kind of wish I hadn't, ah well, another game for my collection I guess :).
