Should I buy an xbox 360 ??

[ctcsoft]

Will it be worth it? Or should I wait?

This is totally subjective. Some people couldn't care less, while others simply can't wait to get their hands on one.

Do you want to play the games that will be available or not?

 

[toekramp]

why wait?

 

[interwebgeek]

You should buy me an xbox360 and after I have "tested" it I will return with my conclusions.

Don't buy one for a while. That'll improve the odds of me buying one on the launch day.

 

[happybelly]

You want ATOT to decide for you? Maybe you should do some research and make a decision yourself? Just a thought.

I wouldn't want to wait a year and a half for a nextgen console.

That's a great suggestion.

I'm hoping I can get mine from Target come launch morning.

Only morons buy computer hardware and video game consoles when first released. Buy one a week later off eBay for $100 less.

you must be clueless. they are calling for a shortage of the 360's. stores like EB and Gamestop aren't even going to be able to support their pre-orders and some people who were preordered for the first batch ain't gettin the first batch of em!

not to mention, stores like walmart, target, and kmart, are only getting core systems and no premium systems.

you will make a killing on these systems if you can get some to sell.

Where did you obtain this information? I'm not being rude, I'm just curious. I haven't heard anything like this before.

I wouldn't anticipate a price drop until at least a year after its release.

 

[0roo0roo]

no, you should sell your tv/pc to feed the hungry children

 

[Xyclone]

Sure, if that's what you want.

 

[Maleficus]

No.

Well I'm a complete idiot and purchased the Pro Bundle 2 from Amazon today

My wife and I were going to buy the Platinum for our 8yr old son anyway. I talked with my mother today and she said she'd go 50/50 with me for the huge bundle. This way he gets 8 games, extra wireless controller, play and charge kit, rechargeable battery pack, face plate..bunch of extras.

We will give him the game unit..and Nana (his grandmother) will give him the 8 games and accessories. It's a win-win cause I get COD 2 and Kameo out of the deal (games that are out of his age range). Not to mention all the other great games

Yeah so we blew $1000 today!

not worth it, some ooh ahh graphics that will have their appeal wear off after about ten minutes when you realize the game sucks. Most of the games being released on launch day are rehashes with no new story. They are counting on tons of hype over a new system and promised amazing graphics to blind people from realizing they are buying the same games with really no new story line.

Yeah I'm bitter games lately have been pretty boring.
