Q: Well after a while I'm thinking of buying one. I have a Wii too that I enjoy but the lack of decent games recently hasn't made me want to play. I heard there was going to be a price cut and Jasper chip that is supposed to make them work better coming soon. I love shooters and fighting games and it has alot of them,and some more quality games then some other systems. My friend says theres only about 1 majorly good game a year like on the Wii but I dont think so I've played alot on the PS3 and I really don't like it, it just doesn't feel fun. Also which kind should I get if I should get one? I would just play games and go on XBL mostly, I would like a Hard Drive so I could keep the data. My Wii's still got alot of memory after the games I've played and It only has about 512MB internally. I dont plan on downloading to much stuff If Id get it, maybe some Map Packs for Halo or something like that. Also my PC is loaded with my brothers junk so I can hardly play any games on it without it kicking me off. By the way would the internet work better then the Wii's?
A: Quick and short: 360 Pros: Cheaper than PS3. Better game library than PS3. Better online than PS3. More online players than the PS3. 360 Cons: Still some worries about hardware, though the latest models are MUCH better than the older ones, and still have the same 3 year warranty. Online play requires a subscription ($50/year). Cannot play blu-ray movies...but then again, who wants to watch movies instead of playing games? ;-) The online service for the Wii is a joke even compared to either the PS3 or the 360. Nintendo seriously screwed up there. However, the Wii is a good complement to the 360 overall, hence folks commenting that the "Wii60" is the best console out there... I've got both the PS3 and 360. The PS3 is a dandy blu-ray player and...that's about it really. I've hardly used it for games at all. Meanwhile the 360 gets almost daily usage. Being a big fan of the PS1 and PS2, I really want to like the PS3, but it just doesn't have "it" this time. It's lost several franchises I love - now including the Final Fantasy RPG series which will now also be available on the 360. Many of its highly anticipated titles are still "coming soon..." which is annoying since the 360 has a big list of good games RIGHT NOW. If you're into gaming and can only afford one console, the 360 is it. If you like shooters, you'll want to get a subscription to Xbox Live Gold, which will let you play online against other people. The 360 Pro now comes with 60GB, which sound like a lot but trust me, you'll end up putting a good dent in it after you start downloading demos, add-ons and other stuff. Later this year, you'll be able to copy your games to the hard drive and play them from there, instead of accessing the DVD all the time. Unfortunately you will still need to have the DVD in the 360 to play the game...but the load times will be a lot shorter at least! List of games to consider: Halo1 & 2 (these are old XBox games - but are compatible with the 360) Halo3 (you already know this) CoD4 (is more popular online than Halo3) Orange Box (for Team Fortress 2) Soul Calibur (best fighter this generation) DOA4 (fast, furious and full of fan service!) Dynasty Warriors 6 (it's sort of a 3d fighter crossed with a kung-fu movie - fight an army of 1000s in ancient China.)
