Should I get an Xbox360? Are they worth the cash?

[cc123]

I'm missing something in my life, that spare few hours when I'm bored and its pissing down outside....

Quite a few mates have bought one and now I feel like a reject!!


So tell me, is £250 for a 360 money well spent? Will I get bored of it or will Xbox Live and beating my mates give me £250's worth of satisfaction???

Looking at some of the games they do look good, up and coming Assassin's Creed looks the bollocks, what else is good?

Naw is out of warranty, dunno what is up with it as 3 red rings occasionally, but makes a noise and freezes every game. Bought it off a mate last year, will prob just buy the new one

I would definately say go for it, and while your at it you may as well get the elite.

I use mine for games and DVD's and Im thinking of getting the HD drive.

Xbox live is easy to use and cheap as chips, get the odd nob head knocking about but thats life I guess. The hardware can be a bit pants at times (Im waiting for my third box to be delivered) but the warranty is there for things like that!!

As for games, assassins creed should be good, half life 2, call of duty 4, Halo 3, the darkness, flatout TC, call of juarez etc etc I think GT4 has been knocked back though.

Get yourself one and watch the hours roll by and they help keep cash in the bank!

I'm willing to part with mine if you're looking one mate, its in perfect working order. Two wireless controllers and around 10 games. Give me a shout if you're interested.

Got to admit, Assassins Creed just looks like it wil be worth the cash....

What about Xbox live, all its cracked up to be?

With some games you get the impression that the online part of it takes precedence over the single player. Before I joined xbox live this used to seriously piss me off. Now I pay about £4.50 a month for live and im now 'One of them'!! Its best if you have a load of mates on at once and you can just throw the abuse about as much as you like!

Get an XBOX ELITE. It's elite... Hence the name, and it's only about £50 more. It's the black one, better features. google it.

Aye its definetly worth it Col, over the past 2 or 3 months Ive ended up spending over £600 on the entertainment system for my room, decided to buy a 32" HD TV to go with the 360. As for hardware trouble ive not had any at all (as of yet *fingers crossed*) Xbox live is also brilliant, so far I've been on it 3 months, and not paid a penny You can get a free month when your first join and judge it that way.

As for you Rob, do you know the waurentee has been extended to 3 years?

I think setting aside over billion dollars to repair a fault and Peter Moore (head of MS' games buisness) admitted that faults were commonplace is enough of an admission of a problem for me. They have really skirted around the question though when applied to the Elite.

one of many...

No argument there but then they did repair my 13/14 month old box with the red light problem.

Im still waiting for my third box to arrive

I've been offered a used one with the wireless controllers, Dirt (The Game) and a bluetooth headset for £200. Worth it?

[st3v3]

If it's in good condition, although bluetooth headset's are ten a penny these days.

Forgot to mention, they are doing a special Edition HALO3 XBOX 360 ELITE, robbing cnuts won't supply a game though. At around £280.
