Now I bought my Microsoft Xbox 360 gaming console some time back now and must say loved it to bits when I first started playing with it, well as time went on and ears starting to hurt I left it sitting dormant for the much better Sony PS3.
The 360 was good and the online gaming was awesome but things started to go from bad to worse, the fans within were so loud I though I was at Heathrow Airport, so I went and bought a fan cooler, yep you got it; nothing happened.
I then got the crap red ring of death (RROD), now not one to bore all you PS3 fans with the 360 problems I spoke to my cousins and of course many friends, they all said the same go and get a PS3.
Now I loved my Xbox 360 and thought hard for about 3 months what the hell I should do, should I buy the PS3 or not. Well I did buy the PS3 and damn well fell in love with the thing, Xbox 360 is no longer as it just sits there in a room collecting dust.
So I thought to myself what the hell should I do with my Microsoft Xbox 360, there are many things and I have listed five.
1. Go to the highest building and drop it from the top.
2. Sell it on eBay as a classic. LOL
3. Go to a Microsoft Xbox 360 convention and abuse the hell out of the console in front of Xbox 360 fanboys and girls.
4. Play it for Xbox 360 exclusives only.
5. Use it as a spare heater just in case central heating breaks down.
So please answer this for me “What the hell should I do with my Microsoft Xbox 360?

If I was in your position I would definitely go for nuber 3.

Play it for Xbox 360 exclusives only and dont worry im in the same boat as you i got mine day of relese and dont get me wrong it was good console with some great and ground breaking games but ever since i have had my PS3 its been collecting dust the last game i brought for it was mass effect or halo 3 cant remember played it for bout a week and left it and havent played it since but, as there is going to be games on it that wont come out on playstation 3 like gears of war 2, ninja Gaiden 2 the halo games even though the last one was not that good and too humen and others it will be worth keeping as you will end up kicking yourself having to go buy one to play squal.

I personally did 1 but thinking about it 3 sounds like a brilliant idea

I personally did 1 with my XBox 3fixme but thinking about it 3 sounds like a brilliant idea

Play exclusives on it.
Its not like you have many games on the PS3 to play on and very few are actually any good or worth justifying a PS3 for…yet!
Plus it will be a long wait till you get any.
If you do not care about good games, seems to be the case, I would definitely drop it from a building! SMASSSSSHHH!!
Though I like the heater idea!
You could put a block of ice in between them both and see which side of the ice melted quickest.
I think you would be pleasantly surprised!!!
Or maybe not as your mind seems to be made up! lol

I cant believe this , i have a ps3 and a 360 and i get fed up with ps3 fanboys there such geeks, this is an example of the geekiness of ps3 fanboys, this crap all the choices listed except for no 3 are fanboy suggestions. Pathetic, u know what m8 shove it up ur arse.
9 Shriv // Jul 9, 2008 at 6:04 pm
um…ive kept mine for 360 exclusives….its not a bad system…though the ps3 (this year at least) is far superior
10 Nynja // Jul 9, 2008 at 6:32 pm
lol, jee Con little touchy aren’t we… I have to admit, my 360 has collected so much dust since the Live trial died it’ll probably RRoD as soon as it powers on.
What’s so funny about your complaint, you make it seem like 360 fanboys are any better. I’ve been on Xbox sites. I read the ‘other’ side. I’m informed of the complaints.
This author is right. 360 and Live has issues, worst part - you pay a membership for them. MS is just like Comcast - screw the customer.
11 WinkerT.Baggins // Jul 9, 2008 at 7:45 pm
Wait until Gears of War 2 comes out. I don’t like my 360 much now, but I now I’ll need it for later.
12 Shister // Jul 9, 2008 at 10:08 pm
I have both machines and have since they both launched. I dont agree that the ps3 has had better games this year. The 360 has had a bumper year leading upto the beginning of 2008, so much so that I am still wading through the list this year. The ps3 has had to rely on late and second rate ports and this is not about to end soon. The future ps3 release calendar now looks bleak with all the triple A titles being delayed and shipping early 2009 at best. There is no doubting the ps3 ’s power and capabilities but without software this gamer remains unfulfilled. I therefore advise you to keep both machines and get to sample the best that both have to offer.
13 Myke // Jul 10, 2008 at 4:06 am
hmm, you can give it to other kids wanting an xbox 360.
14 PS360Owner // Jul 10, 2008 at 5:28 am
How about you just send it in and get it fixed for free since it is covered for 3 years? Unlike Sony and the PS2 DRE problems where they tell you to get bent.
Or sell it and wait with the rest of the Sony sheep. You can cook a burger and watch your games and Blu-ray movies.
And btw - I agree with %100 Con. PS3 fanboys suffering from last place syndrome. The worst fanboys to ever curse gaming.
Btw - I own 2 360’s never had any problems and I also own a PS3 (40gig). If I was a one console owner I would go thru many 360’s before I would own just a PS3. When I’m on the PS3 I always find it lacking in many ways.
15 SW // Jul 10, 2008 at 7:08 am
Yep No. 3 sounds very interesting. Although 2 could end up making you money if ppl see the funny side.
16 Chris // Jul 10, 2008 at 10:10 am
Keep it for exclusives,
Got all three wii, ps3 and xbox 360.
The 360 is the one I dont use, thats since I bought the PS3.
The 360 does have exclusives but if they were out on the PS3 I would explode the 360 into the air.
Online gaming should be free!
Gears of War 2 should be great though.
BIOSHOCK PS3, it was good on the 360 it should be great game too on the PS3.
17 DMB // Jul 10, 2008 at 12:41 pm
PS360Owner, why do you have 2 360s? What is teh point?
Anywho, I bought all 3 consoles on release. 360 died on me twice b4 ps3 came out. When ps3 finally did come out i played 360 about once a month for 1 hour. The wii I play on and off with the nintendos own games. PS3 I usually have a go on it for at least an hour or two a day.
PS3 isn’t FAR superiour than 360 but it does have its perks, this time around they are listening to their owners.
Ps3 doesn’t have the support it should have atm because MS keeps on throwing money at the devs to get exclusives.
In europe atm PS3 is closing the gap on 360, even though 360 had over a year head start. Wii is just head by a large margin.
Keep your 360 for teh exclusives but I would love to read in the paper “Man drops 360 from building onto mans head” so go for 1

“PS3 fanboys suffering from last place syndrome”
“Btw - I own 2 360’s”
haha, lol well most people who buy a ps3 don’t need to buy another one to get sales numbers up, or to repleace a RROD.
I love the way people chat on about how theres nothing to play on the ps3, do you realise it’s 2008 now, not 2007?
Why don’t you tell me some games you can play on the 360 and NOT the PS3? I’m not talking about old games, i want something new, released this year… gears/halo3 lol!!
How about GTA with the (ever so slightly) increased load times or (tiny) amount of pop up over the ps3 version… but wait, i’ll just go on the marketplace and download my exclusive DL…oh… i’ll go watch a HD-DVD instead then: without any background noise whatsoever.
19 Con // Jul 10, 2008 at 6:38 pm
To clear this up why dont we just say stop bein a sad arse and just be grateful u have the consoles. thx to people who agreed with me ohh and stop talkin bout HD DVD as if its something the xbox created, xbox chose HD DVD over Blu ray cause they thought Blu Ray was to complicated.
20 LB // Jul 14, 2008 at 9:27 am
Well 360 makes a good paper wieght! PS3 is the way
21 tuono // Jul 17, 2008 at 7:59 pm
ps3 fanboys again!!
i use my ps3 for collecting dust.
online is a joke!
xbox 360 will always be better for online gaming.
voice chat, video chat
hang on my buddy just came online, he is playing grid.
i`ll just invite him to a game on cod4
pity you guys cant do that,
oh the amazing 2.41 update!
wow they tried to copy xbox360 again!
if its so crap, why do sony copy ms`s ideas??
am no fan of either.
i use my 360 for online gaming.
and watching movies
i play some exclusive ps3 games.
who cares if one has better graphics, the wii`s are dismal, and that’s out sold both, so you cant expect us to swallow that buddy.
i watched 3 blueray movies in 1080p
£25 each
i just picked up a new hd dvd player and 10 movies off ebay £100
matrix trilogy, heroes box set etc.
best thing is, i just download movies and drop them on to my 500gb external hdd drive
as i installed it as a mac drive, 25gb movies for free, then watch them on my 360 in HD
am now on my 2nd 500gb hdd
and that half full
you can keep blueray,
copy protected, my arse!!
you buy blueray, i`ll download it and watch it on my xbox360 thanks.
you cant do that on a ps3
only if you have a blueray writer.
22 bader // Jul 20, 2008 at 11:56 pm
honestly i really like number 3
now what would be really sweet is if you showed up to E3 and smashed it right infront of microsoft
23 COPYRIGHT // Jul 21, 2008 at 9:24 am
Get yourself an ELITE 360 I’ve had no problems with this baby, No RROD, just pure gaming bliss.
PS3 was the biggest waste of my money, I only play Metal Gear Solid 4, and GT 5 Prologue is just SO BORING.
Everything else on PS3 sucks, 360 does it all better.
24 Ih8dopes // Jul 21, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Wow, you PS3 lovers are really lame.
Yeah go get your PS3 with your sh*tty trophy system, wow I got 23 bronze trophies and am so 733t

26 Trent // Jul 23, 2008 at 6:18 pm
1 - Mod it
2 - d’l pirated games and burn them

28 Ramble // Jul 25, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Google News search: xbox 360 brings most of the 360 fans to this article.
What?! You were naive enough to think that the author wanted just PS3 fans here? Look at his title…and THINK about it.
Microsoft
xbox
360
If you want a site that caters only to PS3 fans, go to

29 Bill Gates // Aug 2, 2008 at 11:27 pm
My word, all your fan boys are just little over te top, there are two consoles, two specs, and it all comes down to personal preference. so stop being childish arguing over silly crap its not going to make your E-penis any bigger so stick a sock in it. What i cant understand is why oh why it is that the 360 fans come to a ps3 site in the first place, one would only presume that it must be because they have too much time on their hands, shouldn’t they be playing their 360s? or maybe it sucks.
30 jim // Aug 4, 2008 at 11:19 pm
I have had both since launch and I must admit, the 360 destroys the PS3 for games, especially online.
Sony will always be close to my heart but I find myself using the 360 98% of the time. I will get the exclusives on the PS3 and since I am in the States I have an original 60GB PS3, fully BC so I can play my PS2 games and movies, but all other games go to the 36o, it;’s just better, and everyone here has one. Not many people here have PS3’s and it’s not really taking off .
31 jim // Aug 4, 2008 at 11:20 pm
What are the people with 360’s doing here?
Maybe some of us have all three consoles, but prefer the 360. hows that?
32 The Donald // Aug 7, 2008 at 3:01 am
hey all you douche fag 360 fans stop trying to brag that 360’s online is better i find that they are equal not in content or online play but the fact that you have to pay evens it out and no exclusive good games is a load what about mgs4, lair(not unless you have the update to allow joystick control)and my fav resistance fall of man.
33 Chris // Aug 8, 2008 at 10:47 am
Sell it!
The 2006 core system you might be lucky to get £78 for it.
Use it as a door stop.
34 Anthony // Aug 12, 2008 at 2:18 am
Ok man i got the xbox 360 launch day and since then i have had the red ring of death 5 times and had to wait with no games for a week (sometimes longer) with no games to play besides the only 2 good exclusives on xbox 360 is gears 0f war, halo 3, and ninja gaiden 2 with the edition of gears 2 and fable 2 later this year and beyond that no good aaa exclusives in 2009 that i have seen. And my wireless controller is broke as in not even batteries get it to work and by harddrive was messed up and i had to get a new one, there was just to many probloms with my 360. I bought my ps3 a couple of months after launch and have had zero probloms with it and there are some great exclusives out for it. Resistance fall of man, uncharted drakes fortune, moterstorm, metal gear solid 4, heavenly sword, For ninja gaiden fans they have ninja gaiden sigma witch has graphical improvements as well as new levels costumes and weapons. Later this year there will be resistance 2, moterstorm 2, siren blood curse, little big planet, for naruto fans like me they will have naruto ultiment ninja storm, and Socom confrontation. Into next year we can expect killzone 2, Tekken6, white knight chronicles, dark cloud 3, later on there will be god of war 3, the agency, dc universe online, Driver, Heavy rain, InFamous, Massive action game (mag), Red dead revolver 2, and a secret game sony plans for 2009 that will blow the gaming industry away . Then at some point we get twisted metal, Final fantasy versus 13, shadow of the collosis 2, Yakuza 3, and my own personal assumption i think we can expect kingdom hearts 3 as an exclusive. I am done i have proved my point that ps3 is superior to 360 exept in online gaming but ps3 will catch up eventually
35 Anthony // Aug 12, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Those are all Playstation 3 exclusives come on 360 fanboy’s give me the list of 360 exclusives coming out oh yeah gears of war 2, fable 2, halo wars, and alan wake. Thats really all 360 got coming out.
36 Anthony // Aug 12, 2008 at 8:45 pm
Oh hang on my bad 360 dude’s how could i forget huxley.
37 Anthony // Aug 13, 2008 at 1:59 am
Oh and tuono you are a dick. How bought this sony will stop copying microsoft’s online when microsoft stoppes buying all the ps3 exclusives. Final fantasy 13, Assasin’s creed, Grand theft auto 4, Devil may cry 4, Silent hill 5, were at one time ps3 exclusives but ms bought them off of ps3 and they even tried to get metal gear solid 4 to 360 and also tried to get residentevil 5 as an exclusive so i do not want to here shit from you about sony copying xbox live. I am also sick of 360 fanboys saying that ps3 fanboy’s are whining to much about final fantasy 13 coming to xbox 360. If halo 4 came to the ps3 ya’ll would whine just as bad.
38 jess97 // Nov 4, 2008 at 9:30 pm
all you have to do to fix the xbox 360 is get 4 towels leave it plugged up rap it in the towels leave it for 20 minutes turn it off then turn it back on and it should work………just follow the instructions and it should work
