So my room mate owns a 360, I own a PS3 and a Wii. He's thinking about upgrading to a 360 Elite and I've expressed interest in taking his 360 Pro off his hands to help him get to an Elite more easily. But I'm still on the fence because I'm not sure just how many games I'd want to play on it. As of right now, the best thing the 360 has in my mind is the XBLA titles. The ones I'm most interested in are:
Braid (coming to PSN eventually) Castle Crashers (coming to PSN eventually) Peggle (probably coming to PSN since it's on every other platform) Shadow Complex Trials HD So my question to you, the Dtoid community, is this: Is it worth it? He's said I can have his used system plus a 2nd controller for $189. Then I'd need to buy all of those games over again after he transfers them to his new system, which is another $65, I think. My other question is this: are there any other really awesome exclusive games? Keep in mind that I'm not much of a fan of Fighters, FPSs, MMOs, or RTSs. I am a big fan of platformers and puzzle solving games. Oh, and Metal Gear Solid. Your thoughts?

As for the 360 games, you're going to have a REALLY hard time if you don't like FPS games, since that's over half the 360's library. I'd recommend stuff like Lost Planet (3rd person shooter, don't know if that makes a difference) and maybe Kameo, but those are both pretty old now. If that doesn't matter to you, then know that they were both good.
I don't have a 360... so can't think of any games that aren't already multiplatform (or soon to be multiplatform) that might be of interest to you, especially given your preferences (otherwise I would suggest Mass Effect)... but you may want to look over a list of upcoming 360 games to see if any interest you.
Basically, if you have the money, get it (though don't be pissed off if you eventually get a red ring). If money is tight, you may want to spend the money on Ratchet and Clank or other upcoming PS3 games that will keep you busy.
Yeah, I wanted to try out Portal and I'd probably give the whole Orange Box a try. Though now that I think about it, that was also released on PS3...hmmmm...

Damn, you're right. I forgot about the red ring. I may have to think about this some more.
If you have the cash and really want it then the answer is easy. DO EET
