xbox 360

So I am looking at getting a Xbox sometime soon.

I have had a PS1 and PS2 but played a lot of xbox while away in Canada. So i got hooked on it.

Any1 give me any hints on what to get? Like is it worth getting a large GB one to a smaller one?

Thanks

Quick answer - get a PS3. Xbox is a piece of shit. Mine is faulty, my mates had to be fixed, and my brothers is stuffed. All just happen to be out of warranty.

Go for the pro system (not the elite) my flat mate says, has all the perks etc.

if you're a casual gamer, the xbox 360 is the best. the ps3 is for hardcore gamers really.

Then again he owns all 3 of this generation of consoles lol

LOL! I would have thought the casual gamer would prefer his console starting up every time he told it to and not turning off until he told it to!

+1

Having owned both I have setteled on the PS3
dont be tempted by the xbox's low price - they are poorly designed and were rushed to market ahead of quality control . RROD / E74 / disc scratching etc. Plus you have to pay to play online....inbetween sending it away to be fixed.

Ok so i look at this.

It says * This product is not backward-compatible with PlayStation 2 titles.

Does that mean it wont play ps2 games?

Yea, just be prepared to buy new heat sinks and game disks like someone else mentioned every year or so. I like that you can just buy the ps3 and get better everything gaming wise, and reliability, too. Seriously so many people seem to run out of warranty just as they break.
