I'm really pumped about all the sick games coming out this year so I was wondering if I should buy a 360 now and jam away or wait until E3 for a potential price drop or new console?

Buy one now. All the older games are super cheap and so are the consoles.

If you're patient enough, it's ALWAYS better to wait. Once the new Microsoft console comes out, look for the old console to be really cheap. Or if you're lucky, the next console will be backwards compatible. (Don't count on it though)

I would say get a console now because there's tons of games to choose from and you won't have to deal with buggy launch consoles...but a 360? PS3 is the way to go my friend. Features wise it's way better than the 360 and there's better exclusives on the PS3.

It's all subjective.

I doubt that you're going to see a significant price drop for the X360. I'd go ahead and buy it now.

After I saw all those crazy holiday sales going on, I refuse to buy a console outside of Black Friday, December and January 1. :P i.e. there's no difference between buying one now and waiting for E3.

Not worth waiting in line in the cold. Luckily, there are places you can buy online during black Friday.

They're all cheap as hell right now, so I wouldn't wait. The very nearest time we can expect a non Nintendo console would be around 2013, or even 2014, so I wouldn't hold my breath, especially when a PS3 and Xbox 360 are both around $250 (for a non poop arcade model).
