Would you buy an xbox 360 in 2012?

[NJ346]

Considering both the 360 and PS3 have been out for quite a while now, is it worth dropping the $$ on either system when the next generation could be right around the corner? The latest system I have is PS2 lol, and I'm possibly thinking about upgrading, so should I buy one now or wait?

[WildBillyT]

Buy a used one maybe?

IIRC, Sony made a comment that the PS3 has a ideal designed life span of a decade.
Being that it was released in late 2006, according to that, a "PS4" will not debut until 2016.
Hence why the PSVita released at the CES will interact with PS3 consoles.

I just got a new 360, can't complain, every piece of technology is disposable, so you won't ever win.

My son swears by his X-box. :nod: All his other game systems are collecting dust. :-x

Videogames are overrated anyway

Def. Consoles are pretty much computers anymore so they are very capable but technology moves so fast, you could be buying an atari :lol:

I play my 360 at least a few times a week. Get xbox live and play with FRIENDS!

[coolmanvette75]

Get xbox live and play with FRIENDS!
This.

[shadowfire]

PS3 RULES:nod:

[WayFast84]

Yes. Just the apps alone make it worthwhile. Netflix is the only thing I watch since cable is a rip off.

[shadowfire]

you can use it to get internet , and watch dvds and the blu ray player

[NJ346]

The only games I ever played were car oriented or sports games. Madden, Nascar, etc are available on both consoles but Forza is the deal breaker so if I get a new system it will be a 360.

[shadowfire]

360 is ok but i hate the controls they have better live games as well

[LS1ow]

just get a damn 360.

oh btw, please get games from this time period! aka NOT HALO 3

[ar0ck]

Get a 360, new games still come out regularly and they keep looking better and better even on a 4yr old 360.

[LTb1ow]

just get a damn 360.

I have halo 2 :bertstare:

[sweetbmxrider]

Halooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

PS3 rules! at getting your info hacked :lol:

[LS1ow]

everyone just needs some forza in there life

[zraffz]

Buy a used Xbox360.
I bought mine with a 1 year warranty for $100 or $150 in the winter of 2010. I got the hard drive for $40. Came with a remote as well.

I actually traded it in for a high def xbox. I got a free remote out of it and a spare hard drive lol.

[coolmanvette75]

Yea get forza and race with me and beggs

[88WS-6]

Or get PS3 and Gran Tursimo 5. I still race on there sometimes.

get an xbox 360. ps3's are cool but trash online and the xbox experience is just a lot more enjoyable. on a sidenote i saw you like sports games...the xbox is the best place for them because when you combine an EA Game (already shaky servers) and put them on the ps3 you might as well be playing them in slow motion. im not even joking about that.


also i mean why not get a 360, they just made a new version of NFL Blitz on xbox live arcade for 15 bucks :D its the **** :D

[Slow-V6]

Xbox 360 all the way!! Been on Xbox live for 8 yrs or so and never had any issues at all unlike my PSN online account!! You get what you pay for!!

[The_Bishop]

Buy a PS3. PS3 = Blu Ray, X-box = DVD = fail.

I use my PS3 as a media station, blu ray movies, netflix, streaming music and video from my PC.

[Savage_Messiah]

PS3 is vastly superior technology to the 360. If you're gonna get one, it's a smarter call to drop the money on a PS3

[NastyEllEssWon]

meh using the bluray player at this point as a pro overtop the xbox is almost a moot point, blu ray players are now cheap enough that most people already have a stand alone box for it anyway. it all comes down to what you want to play. ps3 = great single player exclusives...xbox = great online experience. also depends on what systems your friends have too. might wanna ask around. you cant go wrong with either with their prices being as low as ever.

[Savage_Messiah]

free online with ps3 buut.... yeah nevermind :lol:

[Slow-V6]

free online with ps3 buut.... yeah nevermind :lol:

And thank you again sony for letting my PSN info get hacked!! You get what you pay for!!

[Frosty]

Dude, quit crying, Jesus Christ...we get it, you don't like PS3.

[Tru2Chevy]

Definitely go with the 360!

I actually traded it in for a high def xbox. I got a free remote out of it and a spare hard drive lol.

I assume you mean an HDMI model? Every 360 is completely high def. capable.

I like the PS3.. Enough to have owned 3 of them in the past 6 years.. Its just I like the Xbox better!! Its not like I never owned a PS3 and just talk crap on it.

I am sorry if what I am saying is offending you. For me Sony just disapointed me 1 to many times causing me to only have an Xbox now.

[NastyEllEssWon]

yup i own all platforms and consoles. i will say one thing. uncharted is the only reason i own a ps3. its just a great game series but the online on ps3 is terrible. in all actualities i prefer gaming on the pc to everything :D
