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

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
