I'm thinking about getting a 360, i play halo all the time at my friends house but im not allowed to get it. I wish i could because its one of my favorite games. I have the money to get a 360 but i dont know if i should because i hate the fact that i cant get halo 3. Also, if i were to get one, should i get the pro or elite, i want to know why the elite is more expensive and what it has. One more question, if i get a pro or elite, is Xbox live silver free? or does it only come with 12 months?

Oh, it's definitely worth getting a 360. Halo 3 is a good game, but in no way is it essential. You can get way better single player campaigns, and even the multi player can be replaced with games like Call of Duty 4 or Gears.

I would reccomend the Elite. It has 6 times as big a hard rive for only about $50-100 more. Xbox Live Silver is free, but you can't play online with it, so it's rather useless. Get Gold, it's only $60/year and well worth it.

Enjoy your 360!

Eh.. Don't get it then.

Halo3 didn't turn out as good as I expected it to be, anyways.

Plus, if you aren't allowed to get Halo3, you probably will also miss out on many other games you might have wanted to play. Save up for a good PC or something.

So true. The Halo trilogy is just an extra reason why I'm getting a 360. I new that I HAD to have one when I first heard about Bioshock. Then there's also this little thing called Mass Effect, a short game called Oblivion, and the decent shooter that is Call of Duty 4 to keep you occupied. And if you can't get Halo because of an M rating, just don't get a 360. Period. And yes, I was being very sarcastic about all of the games above. Oblivion alone should be able to keep you busy for 60+ hours of gameplay, if you like RPG's.

If you're not allow to get Halo 3 I'm pretty sure you'll not be allow to get most of the FPS on the 360. I'm also wondering why you couldn't get Halo 3 because it isn't that violent compare to other M rated games out there. Honestly I think it should be rated T.

halo's not the only good game. there's gears of war and many other exclusives and most multiplatform games are better on 360. 360 also has the best online and a great community of gamers.

12. GEARS OF WAR

ParadiseAwaits

most of those games are multiplats.

if you want a 360 there are exclusive games that you just can't miss out on. those games are Halo3, gears, and mass effect

however, why can't you purchase halo? is it due to the violence?

There's also Forza 2 (sumulation racer). In fact i've seen a package in best buy that includes marvel U. Alliance and forza2 with the 360. not sure if it's the silver or gold package.

whatever bro, it's your choice.

Mass Effect, if anything, dude. Call of Duty 4 is also a winner, along with Assassin's Creed. There's a ton more to come next year as well...I'm going to be watching the progress on Borderlands to see how that fares.
