Is the Xbox 360 slim worth it?

[David]

Quoting limited to 4 levels deephttp://erictric.com/2010/06/17/xbox-360-slim-will-wreck-your-discs-if-moved/

I have moved my Wii before while playing actually. It's not just that anyways, what if your cousin or nephew or cat comes by and messes with your game? Sure you could put it somewhere out of reach, but I don't really like the idea of having to do all these precautions just to play games. My Wii has been knocked over by accident a bunch of times while playing.
Also I have the Gamecube version of Twilight Princess.

Most people lay their xbox down.

Keep the cats and annoying cousins out of your room in the first place.

Install the games to the massive hard drive

Wii doesnt spin the discs as fast as xbox.

Yes

Yes

If I had one

So?

So?

not spinning as fast = not much damage. Xbox spins the discs extremely fast because of things such as the high end graphics, if it gets knocked over, the disc is going at a much higher speed and if it collides with anything its not supposed to, it's gonna scratch.

4GB + Kinect = $300

250GB = $300


You don't havve one? Get it.


Controller 360 > Ps3 I'm sorry that's a fact by even PS3 fanboys.

don't have one what, xbawkz? $300 is enough money to buy a ps3, IIRC.. just checked google, there's a LBP bundle for $350, don't know what you get extra with it, or if it's official/just google, but the price for the two separate would be $330 or so, not counting tax.

i love how you support your opinions with facts.

I'm not a ps3 fanboy, though I do like the system. I have always felt that playstation's controllers are badass. I said why in that big spoiler everybody missed.

I believe it's this one.

I'd just like to quote myself in this post, due to it being swamped/forgotten, compared to my post singling out garrett saying axe. also, that this thread was simply asking if the xbox was worth the money/being a gift.

obviously, peoples opinions on what is worth something are different. holy *censored.2.0*.

the poster already has a ps3 and a wii, I personally don't think that they would need the third system, but as I said, if there are a few exclusive games that you really wanna play, I'd say it would be worth it then. but if there's nothing for you, then i wouldn't recommend doing so, and (again), asking for computer upgrades, or some games for the consoles you already own.

or just money. can't go wrong there.

also, on the topic of the xbox' stability, isn't there some issue with the graphics card on it (a computer graphics card, IIRC ) being extremely close to the disc drive? the whole heat issue, or whatever. I know it's kinda off topic, but with david garrett and mannt debating about wii vs xbox, i felt the need to ask.

Oh Niko do your friends have one?

Oh Niko do your friends have one?

Yeah, I'm 99.9% sure .

Yeah, I'm 99.9% sure .

And you could play with me. Yay

 

[Psychonaut]

Oh Niko do your friends have one?

see, I'd just like to point out one thing by this post, and it doesn't really have anything to do with xbox vs whatever.

if i remember correctly, it used to be that kids/friends would plan out which systems they had/wanted to ask their parents for in order to spread out all the systems/have one friend with each system, covering them all.

however, nowadays, the reason you buy one console or the other is mainly for/based on what your friends have, so that you can play it with them, online.

of course, there's still people who don't have interbutts who do the same thing as previous, I just wanted to highlight that change in the mindset of gaming groups.

used to be about sharing, now it's about everyone having the same things for themselves, or something like that. iunno.

either way, I'm sure this is a huge deciding factor of whether or not you want to get an xbawks.

i was just curious, as you gave no reason, though you stated that you did.

just for the exclusives? well.. which ones? :/ all that really comes to mind that's really make or break is LBP, and Gran Turismo 5, but that's later.

wii has some good exclusives.. anything nintendo (mario kart/smash bros/LoZ/metroid/mario franchise as a whole) and it has the most innovative control scheme of the three..

just curious. i think the ps3's a pretty cool guy, eh has awsum graphics and doesn't afraid of anything.

There's so many awful Wii exclusives that bring it's rep down.

LOL
Uncharted
Heavy Rain
LBP
LBP 2
Uncharted 2

For a few.

@Bold So? and that statement is going to be invalid soon We'll see what Move and Kinect do.

Exclusives are subjective. I like the 360's, for Halo and GoW.
The PS3's are all too puzzle-ish for me. :C

360 Gets a *censored.2.0*load of exclusive stuff as well and usually gets stuff sooner. Soooo it's honestly hard to say.

You can't name a winner with exclusives, it's all perception. Hell, there are probably some people who think the Wii has the best exclusives.

The Wii does have the best exclusives. Almost all the franchises on the Wii have been around for decades, and have stood the test of time.

True but I'm going by my preferences.

@Appleguy It doesn't mean crap how long they've been around.
All those Nintendo made games are so overwhelmed by all that shovel ware *censored.2.0*.

Old = best wat
