I bought an xbox 360 mainly for halo 3 but i have bought call of duty 2 and oblivion. And they

are awesome. But i can not see how the graphics for halo 3 look like when you are playing.

I voted no cause the 360 is great without Halo 3, but if the PS3 and 360 were released on the same day, for the exact same price, I would have gotten a 360 because of Halo

I bought my 360 mostly so that my brother and I could play Halo 2 on XBL at the same time. Also for the games that are currently/will be out for it. Halo 3, as gruntfarmer put it,

Gears of War might be sumthin to hold us off until halo 3 gets here but its not better than halo 3

Whats your time?
Im no forum ninja, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

As soon as I got my original Xbox I was a fan, so halo 3 didnt sell it for me but it is something to look forward to.

Seeing how neither game has released yet and almost nothing is known about H3, you premise is flawed and laughable. For all you know, H3 might suck, where GoW has already been playtested by journalists at E3, who said it basically blew the doors of nearly everything else.

You have to take into account that Bungie has a nearly spotless war... I mean game record, and has a long history of quality.

They are, in my opinion, the best in the business.

why are u bashing halo on it's on website in which u have an acount.... how -blam!- up are u to say that halo 3 will suck?..... its mother effin halo....the best video game story ever.... nothing compares... that's why we all joined this site, its cause of what we love

and what do critics or game journalists have to think???... why does someone else saying this game sucks or this game rocks, with out u playing it make u want to buy or not buy it... doesnt make any sense... u test it, play it at a store, download the demo, friends house whatever, but dont ever let a nother person tell u what to think about a damn video game....

and gears of war will not be better than halo, GoW blew everything away at E3 and that was probably said by an xbox enthusiast or something, ( i admit i could be wrong on that one)... it's gonna be a great game but its not even in the same genre as halo... its a third person game where u use tactics and duck and cover... Halo is a first person shooter, where u scream and look for ammo.... two different things

any whoooo... there will be great games for hte 360... and thats why i bought it... but no matter what Microsoft does... XBOX, and whatever variation comes after... will forever be teh HALO MACHINE.... MC's Cabinet...Truth's Vibrator... whatever.

I bought my 360 for TWO games. The first of which was Perfect Dark Zero.

Since that game, I've bought a few others...

Dead or Alive 4 was a bad purchase, as well as Final Fantasy XI (3 hour installation!)...

But PDZ and Farcry were good purchases...


I'm picking up TWO copies of Halo 3 when it comes out.

Why?

I plan on buying a SECOND Xbox 360 before the game debuts.

And let's be honest... LAN parties with it, ON THE DAY OF RELEASE would be awesome. Especially at the party I plan on throwing. Heehee.

Can I vote twice?

I actually bought my Xbox 360 mainly because of Rare(the developer of Banjo-Kazooie, Kameo, and Perfect Dark). But yes, another reason why I bought the system was because of Bungie and Halo.

i bought a xbox 360 but not for halo 3. i really bought it for DOA4. i have GRAW COD2 and Oblivion but i could get those games for computer.

i would never spend 400$ for a xbox 360 to play one game. not even if it was halo 3.

I bought one and a half Xbox consoles for Halo 1... I bought two Halo 1 games, two Halo 2 games, six controllers...

I spent all that for HALO.

Buying a 360 JUST for Halo 3 isn't bad at all. Ha ha. Not too shabby....


I'm so obsessed and enthused with the game series that I'm buying a SECOND 360 and a SECOND copy of Halo 3.

Halo is THAT cool.

PS3 doesn't have that good of a line-up of games at launch to make me spend $600 on one. So... it's not happening.

But Xbox... AWESOME.



I'm sorry, but Halo will ALWAYS be worth buying a console for... While Final Fantasy... Well... it's final fantasy. I have 12 games to beat of it ALREADY before FF12 comes out.

Not worth my cash like Halo is.

Haha, nice post Tai.

I actually bought my 360 once I saw that Fight Night, GRAW, and Oblivion were all receiving such positive responses. Not to mention Lost Planet coming up, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Blue Dragon... and now Halo 3??? It's almost too much. :)
