I can't even convince myself, much less a random person I don't even know. :PParadiseAwaits

But you said in another post that you own both the 360 and a PS3.

I smell a troll.

how about no and you dont get a 360 I am tired of people saying " Convince me to get a 360" why dont you think about your money and look up games your interested in instead of me doing all the work. I personally would not like to play with a person who cant decide something for themselves

Nope, definitely not. By buying the other shiny black console you obviously have no taste in games and therefore wouldn't benefit from having the greatness that is the 360.

You'd be better off with this. I mean look at it, it looks like so much fun! Way better than a 360, and it only costs 1/5th as much!

Unless you want to waste $400 to get a broken piece of hardware, Dont' buy a 360 if you have a ps3.

I spent $400 bucks on my 360 and it works great. Funny thing is it also has all these really great games to play. Crazy huh? The really crazy part is the stunning regularity with which said great games are released, it is really mind boggling I know. Definitely get a PS3 instead if you like a system that gets only 1 or 2 good games a year, at least that way you never have to make a difficult decision about which ones to play.

The guy asked if it was wortwhile to get a 360 and as usual, stupid 360 and PS3 fanboys turn this into yet another stupid war. Can you just answer the guy without bashing others? Christ... anyway, the 360 has some good games, just be sure that when you buy it, check the box to see if it has the "FALCON" chip, as this is said to reduce the hardware failures.

Theheavydrinker, your insane dude. only few 360s have the hardware problem now, and MS is fixing it. at least the 360 has good games to play, and has FUNN multiplayer, Ohh! not to metnion all the 360 exclusives that kick the ps3 exclusives ass..

But i do have to say. the Ps3 getting god or war 3 single plat. its really lucky for them, ps3s dont deserve it.

First off, most good games are multiplatform. Yes, most multiplatform games are better on the 360, but when the 360 doesn't work, what good is that? I'd rather have a system that works all the time than having to wonder "I wonder if the refurbished system will turn on this month..."

Check yourself before you wreak yourself homie.
The "old" consoles used to break, even then it was a rare occurrence. And if I recall, when the Xbox 360 first came out, the PS3 was no where to be seen. I Don't wanna fire up a console war, I just want people to get their facts straight. Also, "most multi-platform games are better on 360", kinda putting your foot in your mouth dogg.

And to answer the mans question. Yeah 360's are now defiantly worth buying. Nice and cheap, great game selection and Xbox Live is more polished than ever. This consoles a diamond and I hope what I have said just cleared away the rough.

Yes. Most 360 owners can name 1 or 2 games alone that make the purchase worthwhile. I have a PS3 and 360, and play mostly the 360. Bioshock was worth it for me, and I have not played anything near as fun on the PS3. I'm not a fanboy of either, the 360 was the first non-playstation system I bought since the SNES, but there are a ton of great games on the 360. Plus the controller is better.

Although i have both consoles admittedly i prefer the XBOX due to the fact it hasa an online community good games and looks the part not saying the PS3 isnt good its just got nothing going for it, yet

Also the PS3 just gets multi-platform ports of the XBOX game they usually are riddled with bugs and look poor

Right about know the XBOX is on top and will be until sony can coeherce third party developers into putting more time ( and substantial amounts of monet ) in developing with the PS3 complex and un-friendly tools.

ok get the 360 becuase though you have a ps3 your missing out on a lot of good 360 titles that are exclusive. If you have both you can experience both of the systems exclusives. And dude Im pretty sure that Bioshock and Halo, Mass effect and the rest of the exclusive 360 titles are worth your money.

Im talking about exclusives, that make the console what it is, even though that dude mentioned mostly multi plats. Theres only a few microsoft, x360 games, which make the console. The good thing is, is that theyre fccning good, and great community. Damnit, I can't wait for killzone2, haze, ff13, mgs4..thats going to be the glory days xP until then, my brand new x360 will keep my satisfied
