Subject: Who needs Xbox 360?

Vijay is a common given name for males in India. The word Vijay is derived from Vijaya, meaning "victorious". It is another name for Arjuna, the hero of the great Hindu epic, the Mahabharata.
The word Vijay is similar in meaning to Jai, although there is a small difference. Vijay indicates being victorious while trying to conquer, Jai indicates victorious while trying to defend.

A couple of weeks ago, my Xbox 360 died. My one true love, Halo 3, couldn't be played until my Xbox was back from Microsoft. That could take weeks!! Rather than slump in defeat, I tried to find a way of playing Halo 3, be it playing at other people's houses or otherwise. After many failed attempts, I decided to root in the loft for fun.

I found my first Xbox. Well. You have no idea what emotions ran through me. I eventually found all the cables and my controllers (not to mention Stubbs The Zombie), and couldn't wait to get it hooked up. After completing Halo 2 campaign on Legendary(again) and finding all the skulls(again), I decided to see if I could use my Xbox 360 gamertag on Halo 2. It worked. I was hooked on Halo 2. Highest Skill 25 and a whole lot of fun later, my Xbox 360 returned. I did not rush to collect it from my mum's arms. I did not build myself up into a frenzy. I simply finished my game of Big Team Battle, went downstairs and unwrapped it.

After collecting all the cables from my room, I went across the hall to knock on my brother's door. When he opened it, I said to him "You can have it". I gave him all my games, and went back to my room, ignoring his gaping mouth. To this day I play Halo 2, while my brother plays Halo 3 (which I now consider the lesser game). He's made his own account on HIS Xbox 360, and he's fairly happy with it. Gamerscore's got him mad though, he often rents games just for the Gamerscore. I, on the other hand, am glad that those idiots at Microsoft can't be bothered fixing the 3 red lights. Without it, I couldn't have found my calling.

That's my story. Anyone else got any more Halo 3 rejecting stories?

You can play Halo 2 on your 360 you know. I wouldn't want to give up the 360 controller. I like it a lot better than the xbox controllers.

Good Story

@Face

You getting lagged out is the same as quitting from a win/lose standpoint, if your team wins you win.

If more than two people are lagged out in an 8 person game, the system senses cheating and the game doesn't count. (if more than one person are lagged out in a 3v3, the game won't count)

My friend's Xbox 360 died over the weekend. Since then he broke out his Xbox and we've been playing a little H2.
I don't miss it. Everyone is using glitches and cheap weapon combo (PP and BR). Lag is still a problem too....
360 FTW!!!

ARBITER, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER!!! WORT WORT WORT.

Halo 3 is alright, but is it worth buying a system and the game for all that cash? Not really, not to me. Not when I have Halo 2, even without Live on my regular xbox. All a guy needs is KoTOR, Halo CE, and Halo 2.

I have my own Xbox account. The gold is less for the original Xbox than the 360, due to it not being as popular. Plus my brother uses my old account, so he probably has been on it today. He loves the 360, while I'm too scared to take it back, in case it breaks again and I end up talking to the (read:dumb) Xbox customer support.

So... you gave up a multi-media gamesystem, with the ability to download arcade games, movies, tv shows, a plethora of new games, and wireless controllers for ONE game?!?

^Yep, he's gotcha there.
So you gave a HUGE amount of features and potential games for slightly better compatability?
