I am still debating on whether or not to buy one.

I guess my main concern is whether or not you can use Action Replay, for X-box, to download the rosters to NCAA Football for 360?

Are you able to play your regular X-box games on 360?

Thanks in advance......

EA stunk it up with Madden 07 on the 360. It was a terrible job.

As far as RIGHT NOW.... Right now the X360 doesn't really have a ton of good games. There are some promising games coming out before Christmas, though, as VKB said. Mostly shooters, like always.

So to answer your question, is the X360 worth the money? Really, ehhh, give it a year. Right now there's just a decent number of good shooters and not much else. A few other good games.

Yeah my bad. EA just bumped up the graphics a little bit, took away all the features and put it out.

if youre in love with shooters. Otherwise wait a year for the X360 to get more good games in other genres, or get a PS3.

If you like gaming, sure it's worth it. If you're worried about having "good games" to buy right now, then you should probably hold off a year or two. PS3 will be plauged with the same first year woes that all consoles have. 95% of games will be on both PS3 and 360 and look pretty much the same (I'm talking less distinction than XBOX v. PS2).

Of course, if all you play are SoCom, Gran Turismo, Jax, or another Sony exclusive then that's another situation. Although, you'll be waiting a year or two on Gran Turismo unless you want GTHD, which is GT4 with some work done on the graphics.

Games on the shelf at Walmart isn't the only selling point of the 360, either. Again, if you like game, odds are you'll find a lot in the arcade that is fun and cheap. Plus, lots more coming including a online XBOX Live versions of Street Fighter 2, Frogger and Lumines. Geometry Wars rocks. I've probably spent equal time on the arcade titles as I have the shelf titles. Having E3 demos and videos to download during E3 was great. MS has a solid online service that has taken years to evolve. Sony might give it a good shot, but it wont be anything near Live. It might be enough, but I already know Live works well.

In the end, it's a personal decision. I have a 360 and will have a PS3 on launch day. Looks to me like I'm getting a lot more for my money with the 360 unless you take into account the BluRay player on the PS3 which you are paying $200 for. In the end, both are similar when it comes to games...one has a tad more horsepower, one has a slightly better video card. With game development costing what it does now, there isn't going to be much difference unless it's an exclusive title and has Sony throwing money and resources to it. Another reason I like the MS arcade because it gives you cheaper, not as grand games. I think I'm starting to get too old for the games that require a few hours just to learn the controls.

Eh it depends with sports games. I personally find basketball games more comfortoable on the dual shock and football games more comfortable with the XBox controller.

Having even analog sticks makes freestyle moves very fluid feeling. Same goes with hockey games. Playing hoops on the XBox feels less fluid. But, that same thing works to the XBox's advantage in football. So, you could really go either way for sports games between X360 and PS3.

That's funny. I heard it was a patent thing or something. I thought I remember it having to do with another company who makes them or something. Anyway milo, I am pretty sure it's out as of right now. However, since this machine exists at this point only in our imagination, they could still add it back.

I wouldn't mind if they did. But, I assume that because they're dumping millions into this system, that there's no way they could release a bad controller. Nobody could do that, right?
