Should I buy an Xbox 360?

[the7k]

People also neglect to mention that Xbox 360 games usually cost a lot more than PC games. I haven't spent more than $10 on a PC game in years - and usually, I spend no more than $4. And that's including games like Mirror's Edge, Prince of Persia, and various other titles, usually only a couple of months after they released.

I guess you see a lot more games on the 360 that appeal to you than I do. Personally, I think about all the games I'm missing out on by not having a 360, and say to myself "Yeah, it'd be nice to have Dead Rising and Earth Defense Force 2017, but I can wait."

If I cared more about shmups, I'd probably be thinking a lot differently. Heck, if I cared more about RPGs, I might be willing to get one just for Lost Odyssey. But, I don't really care too much about either of those genres anymore. Personal preference, blah blah blah. In any case, speaking in such definitive terms as "(Insert Name Here) has the best library" is a mistake. Largest != Best, and even if we're talking about the largest library, I'm sure the Wii has that beat by a country mile.

If you cared more about shmups you'd probably be playing a Saturn.

The Saturn is actually my favorite system of all time =P

Not exactly for the shmups, though. I mean, I like shmups, but the real reason I love the Saturn is for the Fighters and Beat 'Em Ups. (I'd honestly have more shmups if they weren't so damn expensive.)

I hear ya there. I'd buy a lot more Saturn games if they were cheaper.
...but they're not.
