XBox 360 -- what game next?

#41
XBox 360 is the biggest POS ever designed. I would not invest one second of my time, much less my money, in that P O S!
Did I mention it was a POS?
Yes, it is a GREAT BIG POS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They break down all of the time, they freeze up, they are a money pit (ie: you can not get updates for your games without paying for them, you cannot play online with paying)....I could go on and on.

POS!

You got the wrong one! get one that runs on 12 amperes, now 14.2 which is what caused the breakdowns and overheats RROD...ive had mine now for 2 1/2 years and leave it on all the time...no troubles at all.

At least MS's online play wasn't knocked down by a single person for what seemed like an eternity.

Well, to play Devil's advocate, What good is online play when:
You have to pay for it?

Your console is broken?

You cannot play the same games that others are playing because they have the patch, which you did not pay for?

Etc...

And in Playstations defense, you cannot blame Sony for what some A-Hole did.

I would much rather pay for a superior product, especially one that works when I use it. Microsoft has always reimbursed me for my time lost on live during console repairs, and sometimes they even give me an extra "free" month. The only time that live was ever down, I got a free arcade game out of it.

As far as patch's are concerned, I've never had any problem with that. The only time that it ever worked that way was with Reach (as far as I know).

My brother's PS3 went out, and Sony refused to fix it. They claimed that their form of RRoD (YLOD?) was from user error, and wanted $160 to fix it, and wouldn't pay for shipping. He (rather reluctantly) agreed that our experiences with Microsoft's customer service was much better than his with Sony. I'm sorry, but a company's true colors show when something breaks in warranty, and they try to cover up the problem or call it user error.

And I CAN blame Sony for what happened.

Well my experience has been with Left for Dead. Valve was more than willing to release new maps and such for free, but Microsoft would not allow people to download them without paying. FU Microsoft.

And I guess you can say Sony did not have the greatest security, but there is always going to be someone with the knowledge to do such things, which there is no excuse for.
So, to draw an analogy, anyone could just walk up behind me and stab me in the back very easily if they were quick about it. Is that my fault? Nope.
But anyway, enjoy your XBox, sounds like your happy with it at least.

Bioshock 1,2
Dead Space 1,2
BOth Series are great no complaints

Lost Odyssey
Blue Dragon
Two of the best RPGs this Gen especially Lost Odyssey.

Silent Hill Homecoming
Need I say more?

GHost Busters just fun IMO

Not sure what else My 360 hasn't been fired up in ages.

I'd avoid Duke Nukem for the moment. You'll probably start to see lots of copies turning up preowned fairly soon.

There's lots of older games that are worth checking out
Chronicles of Riddick
Half life: Orange Box
Assasins Creed / Assasins Creed 2 / Assasins Creed Brotherhood
Condemned 1 & 2
Dead Rising 1 & 2
Dead Space 1 & 2
Borderlands
Bioshock 1 and possibly 2
Halo Reach
Prince Of Persia
FEAR 2
Far Cry 2

There's probably a ton more but I'd need to fire up the xbox and have a look through the games I've played.
