Title: Should I buy the Xbox 360?
Post by: Bomb-A® on October 03, 2006, 10:41:43 AM

Hear me out before you give your opinion....u guys might know that all i've been talking about buying is the ps3...i never even considered buying the 360 until today...heres why

the company i work with has a tie up with microsoft or the xbox distributors in india wherby the xbox 360 premium which costs 27000 rupees ($590) in india is now available to employees of my company at 12,500 rupees ($270)...the rest is not a discount but my company will pay for it as a diwali (a ferstival in india, kinda like christmas in the west) bonus

i believe this is the lowest price available anywhere...but is it a console worth buying...that is my only dilemma...since i have never even held an xbox 360 or xbox contoller in my hand i have no idea what its like



peace

If you are getting the premium pack(hard-drive and shit) for that price hell yeah, there aren't really that many must have games for the system yet, but theres a bunch of solid titles, and the next few months+next year have all the blockbusters coming out, I got mine a few weeks after launch and it's still running strong as fuck and getting my playtime.

lol yea man definitely get it,espicially at that price,i dont know why so many ppl are against the 360,its alot different then the xbox,theres much more support and lots of solid exclusives. Id definitely get it, just cop a 360 now and get a ps3 like next year or sumthin when the price drops, cuz there arent really any good exclusives launching with the ps3 anways,most of the games that are launchin are already out on 360 or are coming out on 360..do some research,take a look at the exclusives, theres alot more then Halo this time around lol

   The controller is nice, comfortable to hold, its basically identicle to the PS2 controller, 4 shoulder buttons, 2 sticks, 4 face buttons, D-Pad, only difference is its ergonomical. You get a wireless controller with the premium too.

I've pretty much decided I can't wait around for another 9 months or so for next gen Pro Evo so I'm going to be getting a 360 in the coming weeks. Will also be pre-ordering a Wii as well ;D
