Why I Bought a xbox 360

Postby Hilton HS2 on Thu Apr 09, 2009 11:54 am

Ok i love my xbox even though it recently is in repair......in my room. Fixing them is prety easy be it the rrod or just disk errors or even e74 errors.

But this song is awesome makes me glad I bought an xbox 360 :P

Only because they have too really. And my point is why buy something that will break. Most people who own one have had something go wrong with them. Anyway this debate will always be here so I back out now lol

Why buy something that will break? You could say that about most things, if that was the case no one would buy anything :P :lol:

You must be incredibly lazy :lol:

You have an Xbox 360 and a Internet connection (The hard parts done :bonkers: ). You can buy a live account from most places its not like they are hard to get hold of, so i don't see whats so hard about getting it sorted :P

Apparently they're much less likely to break if you keep it lying down instead of standing on end.

my mates ps3 broke an his xbox is going strong.

As for getting a pc. Nothing similar at all. For starters pc's are expensive whatever you say. They are also upgrading like every 2nd week therefore the games are upgrading therefore you spending more money to keep up with games. At least with the 360 you buy it it plays the games you buy end of.

Pc's are expensive if your into gaming on them unless you stick to certain games. Look at crysis not quite sure how much you have to spend to run that on your pc with full graphics but im prety sure its alot.

And as for the ps3 he is right they have no games. Amazing console just lacking games and communication.

I think its a bit obvious why the xbox breaks....they rushed it. But it did the trick they might break all the time but they are still up there in sales and is to this day still an amazing console considering the ps3 is a year younger they dont really show much difference graphics wise.

No! Does it? What really!?

So does every other wireless device in the world. How else do you think they're powered? Wireless electricity? :rolleyes:

PS3 controllers have a rechargeable battery built into them, the other don't. The others do have the option of buying rechargeable battery packs separately though and considering that the PS3 controllers are more expensive to start with, it evens out in the end.

Oh and don't forget that additional PS3 controllers don't come with a charging cable, you have to buy that separately.

He meant if you bought another Controller, you would have to buy another charging cable.

My mate just bought two ps3 controllers today £40 each he was complaining cause the dog ate them while he was away in the marines.

I told him its his own fault even the dog doesnt like the damn thing.

Panic over, i got myself to HMV and got me a new one. Got the arcade model( i've got the hard drive and HD cable off my old one) with a controller memory card(though i cant seem to find it :lol: ), PGR4,sega superstar tennis and live arcade for 127 bones. Not too bad when game wanted 180 for a second hand elite, and gamestation wanted 130 for a second hand 20Gb with one controller and no games.

So let the happiness commence
