I hear they just dropped the price to like lower than the Wii. But I'm not 100% sure. :/

Rock Band 2 isn't out for the PS2 yet >>

Besides, RB2 was developed for the 360 and just ported to the other consoles, so you'll get the best experience on it.

If you want the bare-bones package (Wired controller, small memory card, two free arcade games, and a white Xbox), it's $200.

If you want a 20 gigabyte hard drive, a headset, a wireless controller, ethernet cables, shiny trim, and the ability to play original Xbox games, add $80.

If you want a black Xbox, a 120 gigabyte hard drive, a black head set, an HDMI port, and some other junk, think at the $400 dollar range.

Star Trek Legacy is absolutely terrrrrrrrible.

Buy a PS3. You'll thank me later.

Which would you suggest?

And, why does Legacy suck?

But I don't really like PS3s... What's better about them?

I'd go with the premium, if you plan on getting Xbox Live and downloading things.

I really don't like downloading things. They cost money, 1 thing of which I do not have.

~X

What about the demos, or the free add-ons?

Plus Xbox Live is amazingly awesome.

Good point, But you have to pay for Xbox Live too, don't you?

~X

Only if you want to play multiplayer over it. Otherwise, it's free.

How do you mean?

~X

There are two types of Xbox Live (Abbreviation: Xbl); Silver and Gold.

Silver allows you to download stuff off of Xbl, make a friends list, get game updates, that stuff. This is free.

Gold allows you to do all that, but you also get the ability to play online multiplayer. You have to pay for this, but you get a month of it free when you start using Xbl.

Get it now?

Yep, Got it. Thanks. I think I'll go for the Arcade 360... Anyone got objections?

~X

Get a Premium/Pro. You'll regret the Arcade the second you get it.

Why? My friend told me to "do him a favor" and get the arcade...

~X

DON'T get the Arcade. Not nearly enough memory. I have, like, four games I play, and I've got 9 gigs taken up. The arcade gives you like half a gigabyte... it's just a scam marketing ploy to make you get it, then realize you need more memory so you have to buy a separate, and expensive, hard drive.

Alrighty then. And the Pro? And what of this "Red ring of death" syndrom? Any of you guys get it?

Ooh, the Red Ring of Death. I had it once. Had to wait four months to get my Xbox back. It's less common now, so you should be good. Besides, if you do get it, Microsoft will replace your Xbox for free.

Ok, So, Get a Pro, is what you're all telling me?

~X

And how do I tell the difference between a Pro and an Arcade?

~X

The box.

And If I buy one second-hand? [no box]
