Well I currently am a PS3 owner but I am seriously considering also getting an 360 because I love your GoW and Halo exclusives. Most of my friends have XBL so I would then use the 360 to get all multi-plat games and leave my PS3 for a blue-ray player and there PS3 exclusives. I also really enjoy the XBL service. I was just wondering what other great exclusives there are to the 360 and what are more benefits of owning one. And if you please, I don't want to hear any Sony bashing. I can't stand fanboys who have nothing better to do than bash other systems.

Hey m8, I'll try my absolute to write another unbiased review.

Well, to start the xbox 360 has a great online service service as you know. Talking to friends and family is always a plus, and the reputation system is great. The Xbox is cost effective, and the hard drive included (with the pro or elite) is definetly worth you extra buck, this way you'll have plenty of space to have fun downloading demos. All the games are great and they're all really fun online. If you get the Pro or elite than you're definetly getting the deal for your buck. You'll get everything you need, the ethernet cable, the HD component cables, free xbox live for a month, just everything it's great!

So yea, I'd DEFINETLY recommend you getting one as I have one.

Hope this helps!

Well Fable 2 is coming out in October and that is worth buying the system for in my opinion. But there are lots of great games coming out in the next few months.

Yeah thanks man that helps a lot. Just a quick question I don't need the elite because I really don't need that much HD space unless I plan on downloading a abunce of movies and demos right? And how much does that pro cost?

I think that the Pro will be $299 very soon.

Here my list on reasons why you should get a Xbox360 (and keep the PS3 of course):

  • Gears of War 1 AND 2
  • Better multiplatformed games
  • Better Online service if you don't mind paying $50 a year.
  • More variety of games as of in the fall.
  • More fun.

If you are in the US then the Pro is getting/has just got a $50 price cut. At E3 MS announced a new 60GB model to replace the 20GB Pro, though that isn't expected until a bit later this year.

20GB is more than enough for me, though I don't really use the option to download films. With all my saves, a bunch of videos, DLC, map packs, and a bunch of demos I still have 7 GB free.

If you know lots of friends who already have Live then getting multi-plat titles for the 360 is a really good idea, and definitely sways the balance instead of only looking at exclusives. While exclusives are good, they seem to be far less important this generation than in previous consoles

And with the E3 announcement you will now be able to rent and download movies from netfilx straight to your xbox. Also if you have a PC at home you can get a software that syncs all your xbox to your PC and access stuff from your computer.

Alright I am persuaded. As soon as I get the money I'll get it. What game should I get first. Not Call of Duty because I already have that for PS3. Can't wait for gears of war 2

Well for cheap good shooter Lost planet colonies But I would highly suggest Halo 3 since you already have Cod 4
