Worth Buying an XBox360 on Black Friday?

What do you guys think? I've been a PS guy since day one. I have had friends with Xboxes and after years of playing PS, I just couldn't get around the controller, so I didn't ever give them a chance.

That being said, A LOT of my friends prefer the XBox over PS when it comes to competitive gaming, like in Madden or COD. I've also noticed a trend over the years for official/sanctioned tourneys to use XBoxes over PS, which was kind of telling to me.

I've contemplated getting one for awhile now, but when I've looked and saw them selling crap like the 4GB version, it turned me off all over again. That's a joke. How could they even seriously put that in a box and sell it? I digress...

Do you think it's worth it? Another thing I can't get around is the Live subscription, which apparently they have found ways to nickel and dime people with even more than they did before.

Well, I grew up with PS. I got an Xbox 360 to replace my PS2 back in 2005 shortly after they came out. Got the newer Xbox with the 250 gb hard drive back in 2010 for Christmas. I like it, but I still experience a ton of freezing in new games (LA Noire does it at least once each time I play). That's annoying. And as far as competitive gaming goes, it is better, but worse. From my own experiences, there are less annoying kids on PS3, making CoD gameplay better, to me, on PS3. However, Xbox has the better servers. You pay for Live, which sucks, but really, it's no different than paying for a new game. $50 covers Live for a year, and there aren't many games that I play for a year, but I still pay the $60 for them. So, it makes it worth it to me. Plus, I don't play Halo, and that's one of the very few Xbox exclusive games that people fawn over. I much prefer the PS3 exclusives.

You have upside and downside either way. They're both good products with their own things that set them apart. I'm looking for a change up and I like the PS3 exclusives and the idea of free online play, even if the servers aren't as good (they're known to go down for hours at a time for maintenance, from what I'm told).

I already have PS3, and intend to get a 360 bundle. I'll probably do online games that are on both consoles with the PS3 cuz its free. Then Halo, GOW, etc on the 360. Also, I'd like to get a kinect. I hear the wii and PS move just don't even come close to comparing to that, and I think my wife will really like it.

Also, I've had both xbox consoles before. I foolishly sold my 360 for a wii thinking my wife would play more with me. I then sold the wii cuz she wasn't playing, and the games sucked IMO. That's when I got the PS3. I chose it because of free online play and blueray. Point to this paragraph. I don't find switching controls to be a big deal. I actually like the 360 controller best, but have no problem using PS.

No idea what you're talking about with this. Live is still a flat fee. If you're referring to games charging for DLC, that has nothing to do with the actual XBL subscription.

In terms of Xbox live, there's a saying "you get what you pay for" so between PsN and live live is def better but it's also one you have to pay for, with that said I got a Xbox live subscription special were I paid $70 for 2 years + 2500 ms points so I guess you could say I made out like a bandit last time I renewed

It was a special I got right after Reach came out, they run them every once in a while usually around the holidays, you just have to keep an eye out for them when it becomes available, btw when you renew on these deals it adds to your existing deal so you don't get the points till the new one kicks in

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
