I Will Hold Off Buying 360
Everybody is talking about XBOX 360 in every corner on this planet.. OK, maybe just in every corner in US. But after reading tons of reviews, I decided NOT to buy a 360 this year.
Here are the top reasons:
1. One of the greatest offerings come with 360 is the online broadband bundle. I am not a XBOX Live player and I don’t have a profile with five-star meter in any game zones. So I don’t really care for this hot feature
2. I’ve got an iPod, a DVD player and all three current game consoles. So I don’t really need another “media-center”
3. Day one games are not that appealing. I looked at the list and the hot ones are mostly in FPS, driving simulation and sports categories. I don’t see Halo3, Splinter Cell 4, and Fable 2, although rumor says these hot titles will come out when PS3 hits the stores. I can wait until they are out.
4. Maybe Microsoft will drop the price when PS3 is released the next year?
5. Is the first generation hardware going to be glitch-free? I probably will feel more comfortable with a release version 3 or 4 after some fix patches are applied.
6. Although I admit that I am a total graphics whore and I will probably buy the machine just because of the enhanced graphics, I am skeptical about the day one graphics performance. PS3 has already warned gamers that the initial release of the games may not have drastic visual differences. So until I see some demos and truly believe that the dots and gray lines are much sharper, I am not going to trust what I read or hear.
On the other hand, I will drop 400 bucks in a split second as soon as Sony releases PS3. Screw the reviews; I just love that system especially if they would release either Final Fantasy XII or Kingdom Hearts 2 with the new hardware. Microsoft has to work a little harder to win the loyal Playstation fans’ wallets.

When Halo comes out is when I’ll buy my 360…. maybe even a little later. I cant bring myself to pay a premium for a console that will drop as soon as PS3 comes out.

$399 isn’t premium price.. google around.. you will see poeple are paying 1200 to get the box on its opening day..

It’s not about getting the physical box, it’s about participation…like those folks lining up for the Star Wars opening…
I can understand.. but I won’t do that..

I gotta go with Paco on this one. Some people have more money than brains. Fortunately - the rest of us get to sit back, watch / point, and laugh (and buy Options?)
Of course, I could see myself inclined to such moments of anti-frugality with the proper motivation. Example: If a paint ball gun had been available on the day I left my old University job, I may have been inclined to pay 500% cost for the chance to pepper the Dean of the college to which I reported.
