I buy all consoles once something arrives that I want to play on them. Once Bioshock and Mass Effect came out, that's when I decided to buy the 360

Loved the games that were coming out for it, some of my friends were getting it so we can all play together not to mention we had a cult following to halo 1 and 2 and halo 3 was just on the horizon when we got one

Have been playing games for well over 30 years, it was only natural that I would. Plus it had lots of games I was itching to play (I joined this generation late)

That's the exact same reason why I bought one. I was really looking forward to some of the sequels to some of the Xbox games so the only way I would be able to play them would be through the next console.

Because Sony let go of all of their exclusives, and I figured that with that kind of support I might as well change sides and buy a 360 cause it was cheaper

I saw gameplay footage of Gears of War and I was really into Dead or Alive Ultimate, and Dead or Alive 4 was pretty much a launch title. I also really enjoyed the xboxlive experiance.

Same here. The price difference is huge when you have a very limited income. And i'd rather see my money going to bill gates and staying in america, then having it go off to other countries.

I bought the 360 because of the reputation of the Originial Xbox, which was superior to the PS2 in terms of graphics and processing power, and was a very reliable machine.

I was also a Halo fan at the time but I have since lost interest and happily made the switch to COD.

Had I known how loud, noisy, and prone to failure the 360 would be, I would have waited for the PS3, which looks better, performs better, and is the overall better value when you consider that you save $50 a year by not paying for Xbox Live (ripoff) and you get the best Blu-ray player on the market integrated into your console.

Add buying a 360 instead of a PS3 to the numerous bad decisions that have riddled my life.

Reason 1: I collect systems, Reason 2: All the games I was wanting at the time were 360 exclusives.

In that time I was without money for a ps3 and then I used the money I had to buy my 360. Now I hate myself because I bought my 360 instead of a ps3 because of all the problems that the 360 can have.

I was making good money and I have loved video games my whole life. So I had original XBOX and wanted to get a bunch of games, all EA Sports games at the time because that was my favorite games and I wanted to play online.(YEP I BOUGHT 360 TO PLAY EA SPORTS GAMES!!) Oddly enough the first games I bought were Dead Rising and WSOP. I ended up playing a lot more games and was not dissatisfied. I was originally looking at getting PS3 just because all my dumb friends would love my PS3 but 360 they think isn't as good(morons) but now they know.(it was only because of how they loved PS2) So pretty much I bought it to play the latest EA sports games and I didn't want to get a bunch of new games for an old system when theres something better out there. I didn;t want to wait though and I"m glad I didn't wait. 360 has been amazing and I play so many more games now since they have so many to choose from.

actually, gears of war. I was so pumped to get to play the game since I saw the unreal engine 3 demo. When I found out it was going to be an actual game released on the 360 I knew I had to have that system this gen. When it came out I of course bought the collectors edition. I played through the story, which I really liked for a while... until it ended so quickly. I was waiting for the story to finally get really deep, then all of a sudden it was over. I turned to the online which was fun for a while, but completely lacked variety or much of an intense action feel. I really lost interest in this game quickly. Now it sits on my shelf. I'm still glad I have my 360. I have CoD4! no one probably read that lol.

I bought mine this year mainly for Tales of Vesperia (at the time), Star Ocean 4, Lost Odyssey, Halo 3, Fable 2, Gears of War series, Banjo Kazooie and for the multiplats with exclusive DLC like GTA4 and Fallout 3. These reasons outweighed my reasons to get a PS3.

At the time, it was either a PS3 or 360, the 360 had more games I wanted to play back then so I chose that. A year later I got a PS3

I had a hard time deciding between ps3 and xbox. I'm a huge killzone fan, and metal gear solid... BUT, xbox has better arcade games, and halo 3 as overrated as it is, and mass effect, bioshock (which the ps3 hadn't released yet), gears of war, ghost recon advanced warfighter, braid.. plus i had heard you need to install ps3 games on the harddrive to play them, which sounds inconvenient and lame.

Well, I won't buy a console until I have 4-5 must have games (that I want, not everyone else per say) on the list. Those games were RB, Bioshock, Civ Revolutions, Forza 2... but mostly RB. Later I picked up Oblivion, Mass Effect, SW:TFU, and quite a few arcade games including Braid. The fact I already had netflix and live and they decided to cut a deal just enhanced the viewing convinience of movies and the like. Other than all the hardware problems other people get, I have had a very good experience with my X360. And it just keeps going...

I never had a console before 360 so I just kinda wanted to try out.

PS2 was something which I never even considered, and PS3 was only in the makeing few years back.

And I am still happy with my choice, even though I am thinking about getting a PS3 just as a sidekick :)
