Too many FPSes as the highlight of the system, little software variety, RROD killing consoles, poor d-pad, paying for online, etc. I don’t care for the system anymore.

*yawn* I bought a 360 when it came out. After the third RROD I scrapped it and bought a PS3. Haven’t had a SINGLE issue with it and owned it since 2007. I once(accidentally) left it on for over 12 hours(Played some Madden, thought I turned it off before going to work) and when I came home… It still worked no problems. If I still had a 360? 12 hours would have killed it, twice.

Also, when the 60gig did get full I bought a 320 and put it in without voiding the warrenty, unlike a 360. And as for exclusives? Anything a 360 can play that is over 2stars is also on PC. Got ME2 on PC for 10dollars less then it is on 360 and my PC doesn’t melt after an hour of play. Why do I hate 360s? Because I am a very disgruntled former owner of one. All that money flushed down the Microsoft drain.

“Nothing can beat that price; nothing.”

Nothing can beat the PS3 at that price; nothing.

there that is all better. the 360 is aged! most of the games are scaled to 720p or 1080p. Natal is just trying to capture Nintendo’s market share.

Mass Effect 2 is what I really want. Halo is alright but ME looks killer.

I had a 360 on launch but we all know those units have terrible failure rates so I got rid of mine after they sent me my third one in one year. I thing I miss most about that 360 model is that is was a great heating source for my bedroom when it was cold but I know the new models are much cooler and have an improved failure rate. I probably will be picking one up this year, especially if there is another price cut. Looking forward to Alan Wake, ME2, and Crackdown 2. Also, have a 60GB PS3 launch model, I was a sucker for the new consoles I know.

You’re right, some gamers might have a hard time investing their hard earned cash in the next Xbox if all three giants release their consoles at the same time. But there are always folks, die-hard fans, who’ll purchase millions in launch week.

Virtual Arcade? This is the first time I have heard of this. I’ve been so out of the loop lately… I must look this up now.

Oh, and Mass Effect 2 in 7 days! Can’t wait!

Id sure hope so, my cousin went threw three 360′s because of the red ring. He’s like me, he likes alot of the games and features xbox has to offer but with the fail rate so high its just not worth it.

And you know what? Your reasons are totally justifiable.

Maybe next time around MS will do a better job with its hardware.

I have to say that the 360 has some cool things coming out this year but im not to big into the the whole Natal thing. But I gave up on Microsoft’s console about a year ago. Don’t get me wrong, they have alot of really good games and alot of great features for the system but after having four systems give me the Red Ring Of Death the console is just to unreliable for me.

“Remember 360 unlike the Wii is capable of doing a lot with its motion controls.”

Again, is this just your opinion? Because we haven’t seen a lot of anything from Natal other than the controlled demonstrations and marketing videos they’ve released.

“…just cause Natal will be cool doesnâ€™t mean itâ€™s for hardcore gamers.”

Also, there’s no guarantee Natal will be cool, it could be horrid.

Um, coffee, just cause Natal will be cool doesn’t mean it’s for hardcore gamers. Capcom is rumored to be developing a hardcore game for Natal, if it works, (I think it won’t) then that’s a win for them. Remember 360 unlike the Wii is capable of doing a lot with its motion controls. I do believe a great experience can be forged, but it’ll have to take a lot of convincing. The hardcore crowd is really skeptical about this, but you never know. And I didn’t say a good Hardcore game can’t be had on the Wii, the problem is there’s not too much on a hardcore crowd there to being with.
