Decision Made: Xbox 360 Elite Edition
February 4, 2009 - 8:06 am - Posted by Sean
Thanks everyone for your suggestions and feedback on which game console I should choose. I ended up going with the Xbox 360 Elite Edition.
Don’t worry Sony, I still love you LOL and I’ll be holding onto my PlayStation 2 system and of course all my PS1/PS2 games.
The major deciding factor in choosing the Xbox 360 over the PS3 was the Xbox Live Arcade, the hard drive size (120 GB) and not needing a Blu-Ray player.
At first I was concerned about not having built in wireless, but since you can add it with a USB dongle, that’s fine and if/when a new wireless technology comes out, all I have to do is get a new wireless adapter. No internal hardware changes required.
On the Xbox 360 game front, to get me started, I was given a brand new shiny copy of Shaun White Snowboarding (Target Limited Edition).
All I can say at this point is throwing snowballs at people is awesome 
plus I love playing 1080 Snowboarding on my Nintendo 64, so I needed to get a snowboarding game for my new console.
Be sure to keep an eye out on Modern Classic Gaming for game reviews from classic games I’ll be playing from the Xbox Live Arcade.
Contact me off site if you want to exchange Xbox Live Gamertags.
Also, if you have any additional suggestions on what games I should pick up for the Xbox 360, let me know in the comments.
I love 1080 too, so let me know how that Shawn White game stacks up.
Good choice man with this system you can get the teenage mutant nija turtules arcade game, classic game.
Great choice Sean. You’ll really like the Xbox 360. I have also sent you my gamertag so we can play online.
Thanks everyone. I’m really liking the Xbox 360 and the Xbox Live Arcade.
@Luke: So far Shaun White’s Snowboarding is pretty fun. I’m still working on getting the hang of the 360 controller, so my skills on the Snowboard need some work but I’ve figured out how to throw snowballs and people, so that’s pretty fun… hehe.
