I only got mine like 3 weeks ago, but the thing that made me get one is the amount of awesome games available for it.

Got mine last week.
What pushed me over the edge of buying it?

The games, Xbox Live and ofcourse the fact that I had wanted a Wii60 combo every since I bought my Wii last year. :P

It was a lesser evil, compared to the PS3. And Mass Effect.

I should have waited till now though, I could have waited and it would have cost me less too.

Among the reasons that stood out was the fact that there'd be no way I'd tolerate paying out $2000 before finding a PS3 that would work. Thus far, my record has been of having to re-buy a playstation 3 times before getting one that worked each generation. And at a whopping $600(+tax) for each, that's going to add up and put a dent in me, HARD. Though on an ironic note, I'm kind of glad I did buy the in-store warranty for my 360... my first one RRoD'd because of a hard drive failure.

game selection. I didnt like the games PS3 had out....and i have no regrets at this time what-so-ever.

Note: i have been a PS palyer for years and years.....and i had no problems making the jump over...so i cant get the fanboi tagging, as i did play PS1/PS2.

Its just about game selections.

I got it back in 2005, it was mainly because I was tired of the current gen and I had an opportunity to get one without waiting in line or overpaying. People seem to forget that the 360 launch was just as crazy as the PS3 or Wii, you couldn't find them and they were selling for $800+ on ebay. My only regret is that the system crapped out 7 months later, but it seems to be common so we all have the Red Ring rite of passage as 360 owners.

Simply because I have to own every console in order to have an optimal gaming experience.

For me, all game systems are a necessity.

I was gonna get it no matter what because I knew it was gonna have a lot of great games but I was mostly excited about it at first because of Perfect Dark Zero...which completely lived up to the hype in my books.

Really? I had an original Xbox but it had Halo, Halo 2, KOTOR and Jade Empire and that was about it. PS2 I thought was way better and so far is probably the greatest videogame system ever (but I think the 360 will top it when it's all said and done). You just couldn't beat God Of War, God Of War II, Killzone, Ratchet & Clank 1, 2, and 3 and so many other incredible games.

I wanted it because it was the first one out, but that's a fraction of why i really wanted it. Though, other than that I don't really know why. Well, Elder Scrolls is definately another reason... Fable 2, Halo 3 (kinda, not really though), Dead Rising, yeah. There wasn't a PS3 game that I really REALLY wanted, and I thought the Wii would be gimicky, which it kinda is, i still like it but come on people, be honest, you know it is.

Well I did have a Wii, but I got a load of cash for it so I sold it.:P

I'll get another one at some point, but not for a while. Maybe when the next Zelda comes out.

28 RPGs coming out for it by mid-2008, as opposed to the less than 10 for PS3 and no more than 3 for Wii.

I got it because I was tired of buying all the old edition games. Now I don't have to do any catching up anymore. I was also looking forward to Table Tennis, and to GTA IV. The one I have, the other I've preodered. :)

1. Xbox was my console last generation

2. I'm impatient and I wanted "next-gen" as soon as it became available
