Well, then your poll is pretty pointless.

Considering you are getting what you want from the deal with the added benefits (full controllers, etc.) it obviously is.

You aren't paying for anything, and what you want is the deal that's in front of you. You won't be getting a better deal unless you find a brain dead monkey with a spare 360 lying around.


This poll and thread didn't really accomplish anything (considering you would have went through with the deal) except let us all know that you give into peer pressure from people that paint your house.

My friend's 360 just crapped out for the second time. Doing this would be the dumbest decision in your life. Every person that I know that bought a 360 has had a problem with it. Like the games getting scratched, video card frying itself, the 3 red rings, update issues.... the list is long.

Just remember:

Xbox 360 Failure Rate: 33%
PlayStation 3 Failure Rate: 0.02%


Who cares?

you can have you ps3 and be like yayyyy its never gonna break!

or get the 360 and be...LIVE....GAMES......OMFG!

Are you talking about Xbox LIVE? Yea Xbox LIVE is pretty good but why would I pay $49.99 (Canadian) a year to play online when I can play online on my PS3 for free...And yes Xbox 360 does have more games, for now.

Hey I got an idea why don't you buy the external HD-DVD player for your Xbox and watch HD-DVD movies, oh that's right...

Well since that won't work anymore why don't you plug your external HDD filled with movies into your Xbox and watch them. Oh yea, you can't!

lol You sure like to rip on it. First of all you pay for xbox live for great onine service such as getting exclusive DLC and faster updates (lol @ all people who bought the orange box and got excluded from the patch). Also you get freaking netflix online.

Secondly, if you buy a console because of dvd playing qualities, might as well buy a blu ray player alone and save 200 dollars. Yes, PS3 USED to be the cheapest blu ray player but not anymore. You might as well buy the blu ray player and the 360 and pay the same amount as a PS3.

3rd, you can pretty much stream Movies, music, and pictures from the computer to the xbox 360. You can also connect external hdd and watch movies from it (I done so). You can even put your ipod and listen to music from it.

So yea. Fanboy rabble rabble rabble....

Xbox LIVE is a good online service I'll agree with you on that. I just believe the PS3 is a great system. I mean when you buy a PS3 you have a blu-ray player, wireless internet with an internet browser, and such. If you wanted to you can also install Linux on it and use is as a basic PC.

When you buy the Xbox what do you get really? A whole lot of problems and wasted time trying to clear it up with Microsoft. Other than that I DO like the Xbox controllers more. They just seem more comfortable. Graphics wise it's pretty similar, sometimes a bit better on the Xbox, but this is just for now.

How many times have you had problems with it? Like I said, out of 4 years it only broke twice and the process to repair it is fairly easy.

Either way, I hate fanboysim. Shows how people get so attached to a company that sole purpose its to make money at then end making you a drone. (For example apple fanboys). Although I hate it even more when people pull random facts out of their ass to make their point.

Sorry for going off topic but...

First of all I am not a fanboy by any standard. The choice is basically between only two systems and I prefer the PS3 system for various reasons REGARDLESS of the BRAND NAME. I AM a MICROSOFT fan but the fact is they released a product (Xbox 360) that just was NOT tested and built PROPERLY. That is a FACT. You cannot ignore how many issues the Xbox has. The fact that your system broke two times in four years is also interesting because it broke TWO times TOO MANY.

Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360_technical_problems

Secondly, I'm not pulling random facts out of my ass they're common problems every Xbox owner has had, has or will have. Perhaps if you put your ignorance away for one second you'd do some research and see that Microsoft is in a few Lawsuits regarding the problems/issues the Xbox has with respect to the warranty and such. That is also a FACT.

Here: http://gear.ign.com/articles/939/939372p1.html


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bass I mean if you're not playing your PS3 and stuff like that you should totally go for the deal. If you feel like you're getting offered more for what you have that go for it too. The choice is ultimately yours.

Well what you have to think about is why is he trading it?
Microsoft has always made shitty products so becareful with what you get especially from someone thats its not coming brand new from. Just like any electronics, I heard different things about both systems but more bad about the 360. i have a 360 only because Da ve and Busters had the 60gig which I havent turned on in months only to play a DVD movie.

This is not true. You will end up paying more for a shitty console + blu-ray player then had you bought the PS3 in the first place.

Yeah,you can do the same with a PS3. Except... wirelessly LoL

Yeah me too, even though that's not a word. Defending a product vs another in the same market does not make you a fanboy. That's just a defensive remark used when you have nothing else to say.

all in all, dreamcast is most likely the best in terms of fun/$

Actually you can buy a 360 and a blu ray for about the same price. Even though is a low end xbox you can still play games with it.

For the wireless thing. For me isn't a big deal since I always use wire for fast streaming. If you want to play wirelessy you can just hack an old router or just use your laptop if you got nothing else.

For the lsat part, You fanboy.
