Woohoo, i have a 360/ God damnit, i have a 360
Dadud \| 7:17 PM on 03.16.2008	14 comments

Yeah, i bought a 360 a few weeks ago. Now i regret buying it. I was going to buy either a 360, or a PS3. I bought it back when they had the supply issues. I went to like 5 stores looking for one. I told myself if they didn't have it at the last store i looked at, i was going to get a PS3. Well, target had it, and i bought it. I feel stupid for buying it now. I probably wont get a PS3 now, because the Xbox 360 was the last thing game related my dad was going to buy for me, as i need to get a job soon. I'm pissed off because Gran Turismo 5 and MGS4 look kick ass.

PS3 blows, 360 FTW!

big filth

you sound like a spoiled brat.

Dadud

Actually, my dad just randomly said he was going to buy a new console. I never asked him. Out of random-ness, I was a huge fan of Forza for the original Xbox, i bought Forza 2, and was disappointed. All it was is the original with new lighting, AA, and slightly higher res textures. Not enough new features to make it a worthy sequel.

Ouch@filth

Although he's not far off: I built my PC on my own funds working part time, and you know how many games we miss out on.

@Prince: I know how you feel, I just saved up a year for mine.

Could the writer of this blog maybe give a reason why the 360 sucks so bad? And I thought Forza 2 came with the 360.

WDot

beads: There was a package around the holidays that was a 360 + Forza 2 + Marvel UA, but from the looks of it it's back to getting just the console and a controller.

Skribble

Not that the 360 isn't good, it has it's strong points; but asking why the 360 is so bad is a pretty laughable question.

beads

Ok, so laugh. Why is the 360 bad? Is there a reason besides the RROD?

@Beads

Lesse...

-RROD, and the plethora of troubles related to it.
-Paid online service (Sure its a good service, but it still costs. No excuse.)
-Not much quality software save FPS games (Even then, FPSs are absolutely better on a PC, period. You will not argue.)
-In direct comparison to the PS3:
---Phailure HD size
---Phailure storage medium
---Phailure processing power
---Phailure exclusives

So... in conclusion, the 360 gets beaten on hardware power, hardware reliability, hardware versatility, software quality, and software variety.

Why exactly do people buy them again?

Dadud

@everyone who said i bought it for one game: i didn't buy it just for one game. I'm going to buy other games. its just that i could only get one game when i bought it.

Dadud

Also, im not a spoiled brat. My dad rarely buys me anything. I usually steal shit from retards at school who let me come over.

beads

@monkeycat

-I would rather pay for an online service than have the crappy Sony version.
- Oh, you got me there. The PS3 has better games than the 360. Can't argue with that one.
- 120 gb is bigger than the PS3's hard drive to my knowledge.
- I would rather have a good system than an overly complex system that developers can't take advantage of.
- And Sony has top rate exclusibes, right?
Not that I don't want to get a PS3 later on, but for right now, I'll stick to my trusty 360.

mistic

You should've gone with the PS3!

no seriously, i think Forza2 can run laps around GT5 ( or at least around the Prologue ) Forza 2 just feels a million times more realistic ( though not realistic at all compared to GTR Evolution ). GT5(P) was quite a dissapointment to me, it was the reason I bought a PS3 but its the other games that keep me hooked to the PS3 :-)

but I have loads of fun on my 360 too, i mean stuff like Lost Oddysey, Gears Of War, Viva Pinata, Halo are brilliant fun!

I don't think one is better then the other, they're just different, so congrats on your buy!
