I thought that might be the case. I don't really see a reason to have a 360 at this point, unless you haven't played Halo 4 or Reach or Gears of War. All of the early, super exciting, XBLA stuff has mostly been ported to computer and PS3.
I'd say Deadly Premonition is still worth checking out, since the PS3 and PC versions had framerate issues(though I believe this has been fixed on the PC). The game and story are a little different in the original release too, since you don't have the framing story that was put into the game for the Director's Cut.

Its all about Zoids Assault man. Actually, my 360 is used more for Perfect Dark XBLA than anything else. If they ported the Halos and Perfect Darks to Steam/Gog, I would sell my 360 that day.

as much as I love Deadly Premonition, I wouldn't advise anyone who already owns a PS3 and PC that they need to buy a 360 console just to play that specific version of the game.

Oh God no, I agree. But as I had a 360 at one point, I got Deadly Premonition for it. I no longer have the 360, but I still have Deadly Premonition.

Of course, I also have it on GOG...

The pawn shops in Charlotte sell the 4GB models for just under $80; so, I have considered picking one up. There are a few exclsuives (e.g., Alan Wake, Halo, Gears of War, etc.) that I wouldn't mind trying out, and there are a few compilations (e.g., Qubed, etc.) that are probably worth owning. I may pick one up at some point (especially now that the games are getting so cheap).

Alan Wake is great fun, I'd definitely recommend that one.

I used to be just like you prfsnl. Let me think, if you got a PS3 in 2013 then that puts you on track to get into PC stuff in 2015. :wink:
