    Are there any games on it your after ? Apart from oblivion the games are just tarted up versions of games you can get on the xbox.

    Kristok is wrong.
    Sure some games are just upgrades, but the likes of GRAW, Kameo, Condemnded are either only on 360 or else so much better on 360 that they might as well be a new game.

    In short, if you have broadband and HDTV its most defintely worth it.
    If you dont have both of those, then its not quite so attractive a package, but personally I would still go for it.

    Kristok is not wrong all them games are just prettier versions of something you can get on the xbox. Its all about looks the 360 has some great looking games but the gameplay is nothing new in fact oblivion is only a prettier version of morrowind and the 3 games you mention might be exclusive but they dont really do anything new you cant get on an xbox. Xbox arcade is pretty rubbish at the moment only a few games on it and not many on the release schedule. Also the backwards compatability is pretty bad only a hand full of games working on it at the moment.

    Hey ive a 360 and im happy with it but its probably still a bit early if your not sure you want it especially with ps3 and wii around the corner. The way I see it if you dont have any game you want to get it for (in my case it was oblivion) then why bother getting it.

    One thing is you really want to have bb the 360 is defo better with it im not sure the same can be said about HD its nice but the games still look great on a regular tv.

    Yes, I had the original xbox and moved up to the 360 earlier this year and haven't looked back.

    If you can get yourself hooked up to Xbox live then your away, the HDtv will of course make things even prettier - especially making things a lot better in GRAW and Oblivion.

    Mmm.

    I have the BT broadband 3mb line, HDTV to come in October as a wedding pressie to myself. I would like upgrades of PGR, and maybe a shooter but aprt from that Pro evo would be the only thing i am looking for and thats a fair way off yet.

    Thanks for the heads up though

    Ah with the broadband and hdtv you can't go wrong! If you have surround sound thats another plus too!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,705 ✭✭✭BrookieD


    yep surround sound is already here so just missing the 360.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,860 ✭✭✭Julez


    Well then my honest advice is get it, you'll wow everyone who's see's it, i have the hole set up (hdtv, surround and broadband) and I know two people who've bought the 360 just by playing it at mine and there both happy with there's!
