Topic: Should I consider getting an Xbox 360?

Catherine !TGirlYJKXM started this discussion 14 years ago #19,472

Because the only reason why I may want one is to run games I can't run well on any PC like GTAIV and perhaps GTAV and for games that are only exclusive to consoles, Red Dead Redemption. But I really dislike how you have to pay for online play while other consoles such as the Wii and PS3 don't.

A reason why I didn't consider this before was because I figured that I might as well just save money for a PC to run the PC version of GTAIV, etc.

I have also been curious as to what Valve has planned with their "Steam box".

Get Saints Row 2 instead.

They've recently started developing games for linux, so it wouldn't be surprising if it was just a box that runs a locked down variant of linux.

If you get one, you can buy a year of live for about $30-$40 online. Also, my gamertag is RB28DET.

Nah, I just felt the need to point out that high horse you're sitting on. And what's the matter, didn't get your daily dose of furry porn to keep you nice and happy?

But lack of decent furry doesn't detract from the fact that PCs are best.
Power, game quality, versatility, mods. Everything's better, really.

Mmhm, I like PC gaming as much as the next guy and I respect your preferences because I'm not an autistic sweaty mess, but at the end of the day, that's all it really is. A matter of preference. We may as well be having a cut vs. uncut debate right now.

I'll probably wouldn't get a 360 or PS3 since one of my motives is to play games my PC can't run which seems entirely pointless when I could just upgrade/buy a new PC instead. Still, it would be nice to have a "mainstream" consoles for games released solely on platforms (Red Dead Redemption) since the devs fear pirates now. But I really dislike paying for online access on a console when the PS3 offers it for free and from what I heard, better exclusive games as well. Most of the games I want to play anyway both are on the 360 and PS3, but 360 might have more marketplace titles I would likes.
