it's never too late to get a 360 i had my brought my original xbox in the last year of it's life and all the best games were around then (fable-lost chapters,farcry,hl2 and doom 3) as for a new xbox in 2010 i don't think thats likely cos both xbox 360 and ps3 are just starting to pick up steam.

It's a perfect time to buy a 360. New models have fixes for the early faults, and there is a great catalog of games available for it. It will be a few years before we start seeing the next generation of consoles.

Well, according to metacritic...

AAA titles you can play on 360 right now...

Grand Theft Auto IV, BioShock, Orange Box, Gears of War, Oblivion, Call of Duty 4, Halo 3, Rock Band, Guitar Hero 2, Ghost Recon Advanced War Fighter, Forza 2.

AAA titles you can play on PS3 right now...

Grand Theft Auto IV, Call of Duty 4, Oblivion, Rock Band.

Notice all of the PS3 titles are also on 360. Also notice some games that are multiplat are AAA of 360, but are not on PS3 (Orange Box).

Easy choice in my opinion.

If I had to guess I would say the next xbox will come out in 2011. I suppose November 2010 is possible, but I doubt it. You'll get at least 3 more years out of it.

Never too late. It is probably the best time to but one with 360 relatively cheap compared to when it first came out. You can now buy the Elite for the price of the Premium edition. The software library is full of quality at the moment especially with the release of GTA 4 and several classics which are relatively cheap for next gen. Get one and make up the lost time.

I wont be surprised at all if Micro$oft releases a new xbox system by 2010-2011. I mean the first xbox was only out for about 4 years until the 360 came out...

At least Sony said they would be supporting the PS3 for like the 10 years or something, and at least sony is still supporting the PS2...when Micro$oft dropped everything for xbox the second the 360 came out..

hat you mean too late?

Heck, that question is weird..., I mean I still have a blast with PS2..., I buy XBox originals all the time..., I bought Ikaruga which is 15 years old last month...

I don't get it...

Edit: never trust a guy who spells Microsoft with a $, he must have an agenda..., and it's kinda silly to live by someone else's agenda, isn't it ?

360 is one of those boxes that a gaming guy has to have..., no excuses not to. Like PS2 the gen before. It's not MS loss if you don't nor Sony win, it'll be your loss, no one else's.

I read in Gameinformer, the Gears of War section, and correct me if I'm wrong because I don't remember exactly, but the Unreal Engine 3, there going to start making it more advanced or something after 2012, which probably means that's when a new console will come out. You got a long time for a new console to come out, because for another reason, it's only been out for 2 and a half years, so yeah..

The Orange Box is available on PS3

We realize this but it got way better scores on the 360 then it did on the PS3.

....Why are you asking this? It's never too late to buy a system. What makes it funny is that you're asking it despite the fact new games, major ones at that, are being released on it. It's never too late to buy anything, for the most part.

Simulator_Shock

did they make a profit with the first xbox? no..are they making a profit with the 360? yes

see the difference?whould you support something and put money on something that isnt selling and making a profit?

Im on my fourth 360 but never even for one second did i regret sidind with xbox this time around. On topic: its not too late, in fact i bought one 5 days ago. Gears of War 2, Fallout 3 of Fable 2 to name only a few, they're all coming out this year and i wouldnt hesitate to get a 360 even if i was going to play only one of those games.
