360 Reasons?

Post by Fluffy_the_ic »

Well, now that 360s had a maybe $120 price drop, I'm thinking of getting one. I would just like more reasons to get one, as my mom won't let me, unless I find quite a few good reasons. Halo 3 is the only M game that counts, just so you know.
Current reasons:
-TFU
-Halo 3
-DLC
-Graphics
-DMM + Euphoria
-More harddrive space than most every comp in my house, even w/ only the 20 gig
-XBL <-Chances are, not gonna happen, though.
-RB2
All I can think of for now.

It actually has a good library of games.

Instead of the Wii (Gimmick games) and the PS3 (Ports of 360 games, not a lot of good exclusives).

I enjoy the wide expanse of games and being able to use normal xbox games is a plus

:? I'm saying a mother isn't letting me get it. If my mom weren't so logical that she's illogical at times, that might work, but sadly, that ain't gonna cut it.

The best version of any given multi-platform game is usually the Xbox 360 version.
Of course that's debatable, but that's what I think in any case, and they do usually get the better ratings.

If your not allowed getting M games then I wouldn't bother getting one to be honest.

It's more that there aren't many M games that interest me, though I'm only allowed to play Halo anyways. But I know of quite a few worthwhile non-M games, such as Lost Planet and TFU.

Soulcalibur IV ain't half bad, and it's got Yoda and Starkiller in it. (Xbox 360 version)
You can also get Battlefield Bad Company

Well, Yoda and the apprentice were already on 360, and I hate Vader, so eh, i wouldn't get Vader if he's DLC. But so far, I ain't doin so well. My parents are paticularly... Bad at hiding stuff, and when I found a was of over $260 in one of the bathrooms in my house, I thought it was for a 360. Turned out to be ticket money.

Because I'm plugging it everywhere...

Vigilante 8: Arcade --> 10 bucks over Xbox live, and it's one of the best remakes of a classic game. Much better than Twisted Metal.

What's it rated? I haven't actually heard of a lot of 360 games, as I haven't really cared about them until now, and I might only be able to get XBL for a little while, just for DLC and that sorta stuff at first.
