Oh yes if you want the system with so far the best games out right now stick with it I recently got mying and it only makes the loud engine noise when it starts then it calms down where you can barely notice the noise, but if you dont get the 360 then I recomend ps3 for God of war 3 and kingdom hearts, and final fantasy titles, I'm not such a wii person ya know

Buy a 360 because you're missing out with all the great games.

Short answer: yes.

But honestly... what other answer were you hoping to get from the x360 boards?

Yes, you should. And I'm not just saying this because I own an Xbox 360. And I'm not a fanboy either. I like PS3 as well. Not sure what I feel about the Wii. But anyways, if you're going to buy one, make sure you at least get the Xbox 360 Pro system. You'll need the hard drive. It's a better value bundle overall for only $349.99 compared to the Arcade System priced @ $279.99 that comes with no hard drive. Xbox 360 Pro comes with everything you need to get started on Xbox Live, and more! So, I highly recommend Xbox 360, and make that an Xbox 360 Pro Value Bundle, while you're at it! Good luck.

yes I would definitely get one, and i would either get it at ckt city or ebgames for their extended warranty plan to save you the trouble of sending it in if it breaks. just get an in store replacement.

I recently got an Xbox 360 and i must say that the games i played on it ( Halo 3, Orange Box, COD4) are phenomenal titles that you should definately look into IF you're into FPS.

That's sorta the biggest problem lots of people have with the 360 from a game selection standpoint. There are a TON of shooters.
It's sorta like the console counter part to the PC only with less RTS games.

if you're more into RPGs and such the PS3 has you covered just judging by the PS2's selection of role playing games.

don't get me wrong there are some really amazing RPG's on the 360 like Oblivion and Eternal Sonata for those who prefer JRPG's

another thing that has given the 360 a kind of notorius reputation is the RROD that has plagued 360's since launch. But according to MS they have added the 65nm process chip into all current 360's as of late 2007, so if you're looking to buy a 360 NOW you should be able to find one that has the new chip in it.

All in all the 360 is a great system with great games and if you WANT one then the decision should be made already. that's the main thing.

They are all still dying dude, the 65nm upgrade changed nothing.

I would go or the Xbox 360 if you dont own any next gen console at the moment. I own all 3, but the 360 has the best games at the moment and better online and when it comes to multiplatform the 360 usually gets the better version. The Ps3 has some good games but not enough to justify a purchase later on in the year it will. But the 360 is the console to own.

arcade system at $279.99 + 20gb HD off Ebay $35 + headset $19.99+ an ordinary household ethernet wire$1-5$$ = pro bundle @$335.99 ~ plus if it breaks at any time I can return the system while keeping my HD with all my saves and downloads.
