XBOX 360 (in Off-topic)

Allright guys I have decided to save up some cash and buy one of these. Problem is I have no clue which one to buy.
I want to be able to play older xbox games and new ones. I dont really want to play online, I'm more of a casual gamer.
I want to play oblivion and some fps.
Which system would you recommend for this?
Possibly a PS3 instead?
Any help would be appreciated.

Xbox360..

I bought one, and I must say.. It is amazing.. also, Fable 2 (sweet RPG) and Halo3 are both coming out soon, and will be great additions to it.

PS3, FTW!

But I am bias, right now XboxLive is better than PSNstore...

But...

With the PS3 you get a Blu-Ray player, WiFi, Free On-line

If you decide the 360 be sure to get the external HD, the HD output adapter, the external HD-DVD drive, etc...

Also the hardware failure rate for the 360 has been speculated to be around 30% O.o, where as the PS3 has around a 0.2% failure rate...

And if you buy an Xbox be sure to get ready to buy the next version they come out with, first there was a 'standard' and an 'extended' version now there is the 'elite', so in about 6 months expect a 'hard-core' version etc...

As for games they both have their exclusives...so that is kind of a draw...

But I say PS3 all the way =)

Xbox 360. Enough stuff.

Gnu -- You have a one year warranty on all Xbox 360 acesorries that come with the Xbox360, and also a 3-year warranty on the Xbox360 console for cases with the three-red-lights.

so is there a new xbox that is coming out?
i have looked online and what not but am not sure

No, He's just saying that because of the 'Elite' All it was, was a much bigger Hard Drive.

And the Elite was black!

so would i need a smaller hard drive to play these things?
i dont plan on having movies or anything like that on it.

Noo.. Premium is what like 98% of people have.
