XBox 360 not quite Amiga I know

[harima_kun]

So the XBox 360 is coming out next month, what do you guys think is this a system worth investing in? I must admit I am quite interested plus I can get it from Japan for 80 quid less than the Uk

Thanks for all your help guys, it is good to see the range of opinon, I must admit that I think I will probably get all three systems as I am going to be moving to Japan in the next few months but at the moment I am console.....less....or something so I was intruiged by the XBox 360, I did like my previous XBox, Live and Doom 3 were fantastic and it really felt like there were games more for the older generation on the XBox but the PS 3 really does look amazing ...... oh well, prob get the XBox 360 in December from Japan and then get the PS 3 when it comes out I gotta admit I like my gadgets lol Cheers for all your help though guys it good to hear from people who know what they are talking about!

Ah yeah Alien Breed 3D II now that would be amazing, that is a game which IMHO should be done up and converted to all consoles because that game deserves a make over and would seriously kick ass!  Well I don't have a PC to be honest so the closest I have got to playing PC games is the XBox.

Yeah the Sega Saturn and Dreamcast really were for me the best consoles with some of the most innovative games and I don't mean by hardware but what the developers did within the confinded space of a standard saturn/dc pad.  It is strange but the X Box for me is basically a Dreamcast 2, Sega have put a lot support behind it and for me that is why I support the XBox not because of MS but because of Sega's support which many people seem to ignore but if you were in Japan you would see how people perceive the X Box as more a Sega games platform, I loved playing Outrun 2 on the XBox that was amazing, monkey ball is coming out and the House of the Dead III, for people who like Sega arcade games sadly the X Box is the next step.

Hi mate, no worries I am moving to Japan anyways so that is why I am gonna buy a Japanese one but I thought while I am still in the UK might as well get to know it as it is cheaper

Yeah I know what you mean, so many people put down the xbox for the most silly reasons ..... i know i used too as well, but when you get an xbox and play on live, you start to realise how much of a good system it is, for myself i love the sega games on the xbox it really is almost like having a dreamcast 2 and it looks like sega are behind the xbox 360 this time too, so down with microsoft but up with xbox! lol

Bloody hec!!!! Those are some nice gfx, well what the hell there won't be another new system for half a year, might as well enjoy the power the xbox 360 can offer now

The XBox does have a lot of PC like games yes but also look at the Sega arcade back log and the the games by Temco the XBox alone is worth owning just for the fantastic games released by these two companies which are usually xbox exclusives.  Plus you had a Metal Slug 3 which ran perfectly on the xbox, there are some real gems which are not pc like and are true arcade quality which people seem to miss for some reason.

I can see what you mean and to be honest I am more a japanese gamer myself and I will be getting a PS 3 when it comes out but I think if people can afford an xbox it would be worthwhile investing, there are some really classic games on the machine and now with loads of Japanese support for the xbox 360 there is more reason to own a PS 3 and XBox 360 .... well that is at least what I think.
