I've had a PS3 for about 3 years now, no problems whatsoever. However, recently I've been thinking of getting an XBOX to play halo with my friends and experience the "amazing" features of the 360. I just would like to know, is it really worth the money? Will it break in half a year?
I usually take pretty good care of my consoles and I don't want to waste $300.
Unless you're a die hard Halo fan, getting a new console at this point in the current generation is a bit of a waste. With the new Xbox and Playstation consoles on the horizon for next year, you would be spending your money on an older console and then buying the newer one shortly after.
If you really want a 360, then it's a great system with some pretty good features. Halo is a great series as well. The new slims have a much lower failure rate then the older 360's, so it should last you awhile if you decide to buy one.
