Ok, so ive pretty much saved enough money to buy an XBOX360... i dont know if its worth it to buy it now, if there coming out with a new one or what?

I currently have a gamecube and a PS2... i enjoy playing on the ps2 but the graphics just arent the same. If i do end up buying an xbox360 what should i buy? Like one that comes with headpiece, controller, game etc... And where do i buy from? like Amazon, gamestop, EB games Etc.

Or maybe Used/New?

Est. Price of used ?
Est. price of New?

I'm a PS3 fan...girlie?

So unless you're a big 360 fan, go for it.

I think every system has it's pros and cons.

Cons (IMO) for the 360 is paying for your internet service
AND XBox live (Assuming you're getting a game you want
to play online).

Really, it comes with everything you need. The only thing you might want extra is the wireless internet adapter. Yes, xbox live is like $6/month or $50/year, but its worth it. For games, if you walk into any store its all the same price. The price, umm, if you have a tv with hdmi, get the 360 elite, its $450, otherwise get the 360 pro, which is $350.

People always complain about paying for internet like it's some giant bill. It's only 6 dollars a month. If you can't afford it, you shouldn't be paying for a game system.

That out of the way, it really depends on what you like. I enjoy my 360 and haven't really had any problems with it.

For 360, buy Halo 3, Guitar Hero 3, Rock Band (if possible. It's very pricey), CoD4, GTA IV, RE IV.

You should get a Wii instead :P.

Super Smash Brothers: Brawl, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Resident Evil IV, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Mario Kart are some of the great titles available for this console.

That list alone tells that you have no idea what you're talking about.

The 360 is well worth it, I've had mine since launch and I don't regret paying the amount I did for it, even though you can get it even cheaper now. As Googlrr said, if you can't afford six bucks a month, then you have no business getting a console, and you're better off playing RuneScape's free servers. Granted that the Wii and PS3 have their own exclusives, but the 360 is still worth the extra couple of hundred dollars.

Just as a heads up, EB Games and GameStop are now one, and it goes by GameStop. That's probably the best place to get it because it takes in trade-ins on pretty much anything. You might as well get the used one because all 360 units are still under warranty for quite some time, so there's no reason to worry about it not working, plus you can always bring it back to the store and exchange it for a working one. As far as which one you should get, I would get the Elite, but if you don't have the money for it then get the Arcade one. It comes with a wireless controller, Memory Unit, and 5 arcade games. Though you they no longer sell Core systems, I'm sure GameStop still has packages similar to that one, and you can just a HDD for $100 or so dollars anyway.
