I've been a gamer all my life, im 26, I have seen lots of systems come and go, but we have to admit that the 360 is one of the greatest systems ever to come out within its first 3 years of release, I know some points are unfair to make because most technology wasn't available years before, but 1. Its had some of the greatest games ever to come out. Halo3, Gears 1 and 2, RSV 1 and 2 COD 2,4, Graw 1,2 Oblivion, GTA4, Bioshock, and many many other excelent games.What other system keapt hits like this coming month after month after month?2. Its got the best online play to date.3. Admit it or not, the Controller is the best ever, perfect size, weight and shape and feel to it, it rumbles, convenient dashboard button, the triggers, wireless.4. XBLA, Great retro games as well as plenty of originals.5. AchievementsIf your kidding yourselves and say things like, who cares about XBLA or I don't care about achievements, who cares if the controller rumbles, well my answer to that is Why is Sony all of a sudden so interested in adding most of this features? it must matterI'm not saying the 360 is perfect, its not, The RROD is a HUGE set back that has angered millions of ppl, including myself, 3 times, but if you think about it the only real set back is being with out the system for about a month. What I am saying is that it is possibly the greatest system within its fist 3 years of release, and who know once its life cycle is over it could be considered the greatest ever. No offense to the PS3, I dont hate it, really. Its just that it got beat this generation. Games have been dissapointing, subpar online play, expensive, the list goes on and on. Oh well at least you could always use it as a Blu-ray player. Xbox 360 has to be one of the greatest s ...

I agree 100%
I've just had the best experience with the 360, from all the great games and marketplace items, to the wonderful xbox live integration and fun community. I agree with all of your points. 360 controller is the best, and of course Achievements are great.
PS2 had it beat, so does Sega Dreamcast in its tiny lifespan
good post, the wii would be the best IMO if it had better online
i agree. the 360 is a gaming beast
It's the best console right now - but best console ever... You might be biting off more than you can chew there buddy. The only aspect in which the Xbox 360 falls short when compared to previous consoles of previous generations is: The games. And the PS2 crushes it.
O.K. I'm just gonna ask this did any of you just start gaming. There have been a handful of consoles that have beaten the 360 in their first three years.
Yea because the greatest console get crushed by one system worldwide in sales, and only true success comes from NA. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I don't find the games you listed anything special, but it's given me my fair share of memorable titles. It has poor hardware and I don't find the controller nearly as great as you say it is (that damned D-pad is atrocious). The online is great, although sometimes for RTS/Fighting games P2P isn't adequate. Still a decent console though. I'd say it's been quite enjoyable.
I agree with most of your post. :)

The PS2 had... what, DVD playback? And even doing so shortened your console's lifespan. The ONLY aspect in which previous consoles have over the Xbox 360 is the games.
agreed, I don't have many games for 360, but I spent more time on it than I did my PS2 in its first years. PS2 really didn't take off till GTA;SA, GoW, and FF12.

[QUOTE=''CrazyyyDylan'']O.K. I'm just gonna ask this did any of you just start gaming. There have been a handful of consoles that have beaten the 360 in their first three years.[/QUOTE]Not for me. I started with the N64 so call me a young naive gamer but After living through the N64, PS2, and GameCube, I can easily say the Xbox 360 has given me the best gaming experience so far. PS2 online play was basically non-existent.

Are you a gamer - do you care about how many good games are on your console, or do you care more abouot how much your console sells each month?

Sorry I think the PS2 and DC had better success in their times.Seriously, the 360 did nothing except for rely on new technology. DC had online access when no one had it. PS2 was the first to integrate a HDD to consoles and broadband connection. PS2 was also the first console that could be used to play games and watch movies on.
