Buy both? Get an arcade and an Iphone4. Will you be able to cover the monthly cost of the phone? 80 bucks at the minimum plan.

Get the new iPod touch it does everything the iP4 does, and a cheap pay as you go phone. Save on the supscription, and buy an Xbox.

An iPhone 4 costs over $200 and at least $60 a month for three years. That's just under $2400. An Xbox 360 will set you back $300.

Consider that you're going to end up paying like 10 times more for an iPhone. Why not get both? The 360's not that much more anyway.

To be fair, if you've got a data plan monthly anyway the difference in price for an iPhone is negligible over the course of a contract. I'd rather just have an iPod Touch and a cheap pay as you go phone though.

Get a phone that can make calls and send txt msgs, thats all a phone needs to do, it doesn't even need a camera. Get a 360, save money overall.

I heard that iPhone's Receptions are horrible.

If you're looking for a Gaming machine buy an Xbox 360 and get a cheap phone.

If all your gaming needs are basically covered and all you want is Halo: Reach, then I'd say go for the phone, you'd probably get more use out of it.

We have a winner! I don't see why anyone would spend so much money for an iphone and expensive monthly service, unless they're away from home 90% of the time.

I would go with the new Ipod touch. It is nearly identical to the Iphone minus the phone feature and monthly cost.

If you like gaming, get the 360. If you don't mind indie games and you need a phone + multimedia device, get the iPhone 4.

The guy doesn't have a cell phone or an iPod, look past your fanboy goggles of having to choose 360 over everything. If you don't have an iPod or cell phone just get the iPhone 4. I have it and love it, given the choice between my phone and my 360 I'd probably choose my phone. If you already have a PS3 you don't NEED another console, but in this day and age you do kind of need a cell phone and iPods are very nice to have.

Ok the idea that the antennas are screwed up is a total load of it. People say if you touch the surrounding antenna you lose signal. This happens in low signal areas to me, but in high signals it only has an affect if you literally position your hands to cover up every last inch of it. Even in low signal areas, as well as high signal, if you put a bumper case on your phone, which Apple now supplies for free, you can't touch the antenna and therefore don't lose signal no matter what you do. Having a bumper on it is a good idea in the first place, the glass could shatter if you don't have a case but the bumper raises the front and back so it can't hit the ground straight on. Honestly I've yet to meet anyone with an iPhone 4 having problems as extensive as some people have made it out to be. Only people without them try to make an issue of the antenna.

They've done studies regarding it and have plenty of evidence thats suggests that there is indeed a substantial problem with it. Even then, Apple had admitted that it's a problem, and the algorithm they use to detect signals was also faulty. I mean... really? This isn't some sort of conspiracy here...

I don't think the iPhone 4 is worth getting until AT&T gets a 4G network.

I have an Iphone 4 and the antenna issue is very real, and quite frustrating. The free bumper (case) Apple sent me stops the problem though. Make no mistake the phone is a brick if you hold it without a case.

The new iTouch does everyhting the iPhone 4 does, without the calling and texting, but you dont need that if you have a cheap phone.

No it doesn't, the camera on the iPod touch is terrible and lets you take 960 x 720 stills, the iPhone has a 5 megapixel camera with an awesome lens that rivals most digital cameras on the market and is capable of HDR.

The fact this is posted on a games website makes me think that paying the $1500 premium for a camera that wont get full use out of is irelivant.

1. Do you like the look of the 360s game? 2. Are you prepared to spend a yearly fee to play those online? 3. Do you want a smart phone? 4. Are you prepared to spend on a contract to use it?

I guess since you don't own a cell phone, I'd go with it iPhone 4. IMO, cell phones are one of the things that we're going to eventually need.
