so, as every one who knows me personally knows (which, sadly, is no one on this website), i'm a little bit of a sony fanboy. which is weird, because i've never owned a PS2, but an xbox instead. anyways, i've always considered the PS1 to be my fav console, and i LOVE LOVE FUCKING LOVE my PS3. i never owned a 360, due to the fact i didnt wanna pay for online, i was terrified of the rrod, blah blah blah, go to gamespot and read what the sony fanboys have to say about the 360, and thats it. anyways, i've wanted a 360 for a good long while now, thanks to gears of war, mass effect, and left4dead, along with sneak king and pocketbike racer (i kid, but i do own). so, i got five hundred dollars from the tax return that i could spend on anything i wanted, so BAM! 360 it was. here's what i think of it.


CONS: lets get these out of the way first. paying for online. nope, dumb. i know this may just be mine, but, no joke, my disc tray fucks up for no reason. i can play downloaded games no prob, but sometimes, its wont read the disc based games, and i cant play them. i hate the NXE layout. and the d-pad. yup, thats basically it.

PROS: the online, that i'm paying for. look, i never had a problem with PSN. i play games, it works, i have friends, all the basics are covered. now i am familiar with a little something known as the party system. wow. fuckin sweet. WHY CANT THE PSN PATCH THAT IN? um, i love the feel of the controller, its comfy, aside from the d-pad, which feels like the head of a camels dick. jesus, fuckin XBLA is SO fuckin sweet. i got this bitch a week ago, already dropped over a hundred on the XBLA games and DLC alone. i like the achievement system a lot more then trophies, because achievements actually work.

god, im such a drunken mess right now, i cant even get correct punctuation all the time. either way, i love this fuckin thing, even though it doesnt work sometimes, its worth the 300 (i got the pro). either way, if anyone wants to play some video games, my gamertag AND PSN is SamBasinger. which is my name. because i'm clever. please add me, i hate play left4dead with people who dont know what the fuck they're doing.

Congratulations on the purchase. Check out Castle Crashers, Crackdown, Dead Rising, Lost Odyssey, umm...some more stuff.
@ JOHN:

hah, heard that one before i even knew who she was, and, no

@char:

i have Castle Crashers (with the King Pack, love it), want Crackdown (only 15 bucks used at gamestop), hate dead rising (sorry), fucking LOVE rpgs so wanna check out lost odyssey SO bad, not interested in blue dragon though after the demo
well FALLOUT 3 gets exclusive DLC on 360. you might want to get that.

sounds like your having problems wiith the disc drive though. when it is working try to install games on your heard drive you know you will play alot so its easier and smoother.
Get Mass Effect asap, by far my favorite 360 game. I literally beat it for the 5th time last night.

Some lesser known 360 games that are awesome:

Earth Defense Force 2017 - it's like playing a mystery science theater movie.

Viva Pinata - any one but party animals.

Crackdown - it got some guff for having the halo 3 beta on the disc but it's now generally accepted as awesome.

Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts - try the demo, if you don't enjoy the vehicle building than nevermind.

Too Human - again try the demo, you'll either hate it or you won't. Statistically the more you heard Dennis Dyack talk about the game the greater the likelihood you'll hate it.

Aegis Wing(XBLA) - It's effin' free, so why not?
I think they took it down but the best game ever on XBLA was Yaris.

No doubt.
they took yaris down? fuck! there's no reason to own this piece of shit anymore.
