I did a search but couldn't find it. I thought we had a thread at one point where people were posting their gamertags for Xbox.

I think it's time I buy an Xbox. I was thinking about buying a cheap used original Xbox, but before I do I figured I should ask y'all: is it worth another $100 to get a 360 instead of the original at this point? I'll probably be buying cheap used games for whichever one I get, and I'm not so much into cutting-edge FPS gaming as much as I am simpler platformers and puzzle games.
Opinions?

I like our XBox 360 cuz of all the media stuff it can do as well as play games. In fact, we 80% use it for media stuff (mp3s, movies/tv shows). Has integrated netflix if you have that.
So I'd say yes. And it has all the indie/xbla games that you can get.

Yeah. The 360 is worth the extra $100, easy.

Yep, go with the 360.

What can the 360 do that the PS3 can't, besides play XBox games?
Posted: Fri Apr 16, 2010 1:56 pm
Cost less.

PS3 isn't super expensive any more, so don't care. What else?

Seemlessly integrates with MS Mediacenter across the network if you use that. One of the thing MS did really well with it.GORDON wrote:What can the 360 do that the PS3 can't, besides play XBox games?
And it's not Sony which is one of the most evil comapnies in existance.

here are loads of old school arcade games you can get off the marketplace as well as many of the old original xbox titles for download. You just need to get a 360 w/ a HD.TPRJones wrote:I think it's time I buy an Xbox.

I've got a 360 Pro (20Gig HD) on the way. And I picked up Fallout3, the Sega Genesis Collection, and Dead Rising today. Although I'll probably mostly play the downloadable stuff, it's more my sort of thing. Once I establish my gamertag I'll post it.
Are there any older (i.e. cheap used) games that are a must play that I should try out? What about original Xbox titles, are they compatible?

go here for a list of old Xbox games that work on the 360. Even though it is compatible there can still be some issues like frame rate or sound loss.
Since you mentioned cheaper games I assume you just got Fallout 3 and not the Game of the Year Edition. The Game of the Year comes with all 5 expansion packs. It is still $59 but has been out for a bit and I think the price will be falling soon.
As for older games if you have not play Mass Effect(unless you PC can run it), Knights of the Old Republic, GTA IV, Elder Scrolls Oblivion, Fable I&II. You can play almost all of these on the PC but if you missed them they are cheap on the 360.
A downloadable game called Shadow Complex that jumps between $10-15 is great too.

Have no need for it. None of my TVs are over 40". Things are moving so rapidly in media downloads, I don't see the blu-ray having much of a shelf life.GORDON wrote:How good is the Blu Ray playback?

The answer I was fishing for was "XBox360 dos not do blu rays." 
And I'll bet you $10 Blu Rays are still being sold 7 years from now.

Preferred media. THE way to buy movies on physical media. As popular as DVDs were last year.Vince wrote:Still being sold, or still the prefered media?GORDON wrote:The answer I was fishing for was "XBox360 dos not do blu rays."

The lack of broadband competition and the recent passing of "Net Neutrality" means most peeps in this country still won't have high speed internet with which to DL movies any time in the next 5 years.
