I came from the PS2. I wanted to try something new, and I thought the 360 was going to have better games (I was right).

Because I was missing out on a lot of great games, and because I could afford it.

I had a PS2 before and I never liked the playstation controller and I played a 360 one time and i loved it! Also because of Halo 3 and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter.

I got it because I had the original Xbox and I thought it was a hell lot better then ps2. So last year I sold my original Xbox and put the money towards a 360 and got it a few days later.

I got tired of putting $400 or more into my computer every 9 months to play the new games. Oh and to play Halo 2 without having to install that piece of crap Vista to my computer. Plus the Xbox 360 controller is so much more comfortable than the PS3's.

call me what you want but i bought 3 systems for one game lol back in 2001 i bought a gc in anticipation of perfect dark zero 2 yrs later rare was bought out and i then went to buy an xbox1 in 2003 for it ,,

then that phrase third times a charm really took place as it was a launch title for the xbox 360 ,,

i have every last gen console and every current gen console and almost every console from gen 3 and up (nes atari)

but ya i bought a 360 just to play perfect dark zero ended up bein really disapointed lucky there was other games that cought my intrest such as gta iv saints row dead rising etc but i was truely amazed by the original xbox gc

when i first got these 2 (prior to these i had the ps2) and i felt the same way i did the day i opened up nintendos 4th console , ,

amazed , when i started up i noticed a hard drive and music option i put a cd in the xbox ripped it , and i played sega gt 2002 not realizing i could play my music i had played the game and it started playing it i was like ok wth , , so ya that was one of the reasons i immideiatelly had to have a xbox360 ,, is because the original xbox had done somthing no other console could do ,

and the multiplayer action xbox and gc brought is un surpassed in my opinion ,

what can i say i m a multiplayer fied and been since n64 4 controller ports and im in lol, no turnin back to that 2 controller port ps2 for quite some time lol same for ps3 i dont know why im not that fond on sony but i still buy their product

but thats why i had bought an xbox gc xbox360 ,, for multiplayer and some of the amazing games

I got sick of seeing games that I wanted come out for the Xbox 360/PS3 instead of the Wii. I haven't regretted my decision to buy one yet.

For me, i had gamecube xbox and ps2, the time i spent on xbox live was massive, i loved xbox live, thats why i went with the 360, i knew it will be even better, and im right, it is. If i want to play other consoles i can jst visit my brother and play some top games, but i wouldnt but another console anymore i guess, maybe the ps3 for blueray only though.

here's my honest answer: I had always loved gaming for the longest. but I had grown out of it for about 4 years or so. so then I finally got my first job. to be honest, I got my first xbox 360 because I just wanted something to spend my money on. I looked no information about it and just randomly decided to drop $500 for an elite last year. best investment I've ever made lol :D

was gonna get a PS3 because ps2 was alot better then the xbox at the time and i thought it was gonna continue, it looked alot more powerful and i always herd about xbox's breaking, but because friends were getting it and said we were all gonna play final fantasy and phantasy star online together ( wow lol) didnt even play PSO n we played FF for like 2 weeks but im glad i got it anyway because it would have been a huge mistake. its pretty much a fancy DVD player that can play average games

I was strictly a PS2 & PC gamer, now I'm a 360 & PC gamer. Absolutely love the 360's controller, don't care about exclusives on anything other than PC & 360 was cheaper.

not for halo but for blue dragon (don't even start...lol) It's a good game but looking foward to BD2 and FF13!

Also, xbox live reeled me in along with NBA 2k sports titles...

If you get the jasper chipped ones, you'll fair better.

I pretty much bought a 360 because of Gears of War. Nothing else really stood out at the time to me. And plus I was always a huge fan of the first Xbox...and it was only natural for me to get the 2nd part of that.

I bought mine because I wanted a cheap console for $200 (arcade). I am not a hardcore gamer.

I came from the PS2 and I'm a huge RPG player. When I saw all these RPG's coming onto the 360 it was a done deal (and I was curious about it).

Best purchase I've made since the PS2!

Also for me GRAW was released & PS2 version was completely different & completely terrible, I was on the fence until it released.
