Desktop-pro Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 I got this article from IGN. It seems sorta biased to me. Post your thoughts. November 22, 2005 - We like to consider ourselves equal opportunity gamers. We love Nintendo and we adore its home consoles. But we've never been in the practice of ignoring or, worse, proactively picketing competing systems simply because they are not made by Nintendo. That being true, we have naturally followed the launch of Microsoft's new console from concept to ship date, carefully weighing the pluses and minuses to jumping into the next generation. Our Xbox 360 sister site recently published the article, "Top 10 Reasons to Buy an Xbox 360," and the piece made some convincing arguments. These were arguments, we're confident, that the scores of consumers lined up on Monday night to get the new console would heartily second without a moment's hesitation. For the record, we have already purchased our Xbox 360 consoles and we would recommend the console to players whose wallets know no boundaries. And yet, what kind of editors would we be if we didn't play devil's advocate? Are there any reasons not to get an Xbox 360? And just as valuable to any Nintendo fan, are there any advantages to passing on Microsoft's system altogether and getting a Revolution instead? We thought about both questions for a time and came up with 10 legitimate reasons for single-system users to wait it out.

cdoggown Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 I completely agree with just about every ppoint he makes on why NOT to buy a 360. The only franchise exclusive to Xbox anyone gives a hoot about is Halo and I sure as hell am not goign to spend 450 plus whatever else i need to play a single game when I know I will enjoy PS3 and Revolution a lot more. We are probably getting them for Christmas this year at work, but I most likely wont even break it out of the box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im gonna get one when prices come down altho the fact revolution can play all those types of games is really cool....i mean cumon, Link to the past ruled, and ocarina of time (which I made a thread about) Edited November 30, 2005 by CoolMaster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
