Default Re: What system do you play with and what made you buy it?

I bought a wii on release date but played sparely. I started playing xbox 360 when I met my boyfriend.....he started to play online poker on the pc and I was bored so I decided to buy a game for his console which was only used for one or two games before. The game I bought was Rise of the argonauts. After watching me a few hours he decided that now he wants to play with the Xbox again and bought also some games ^^
I totally got hocked up with the achievement system and I wanted to overwhelm one of his friends which I can't stand. He had about 30k gs at this moment and we started with a few hundreds ^^ took me about 3-4 month until I got him My first 1000gs was Eternal Sonata and it felt so good, lol.

now I can't stop earning achievements lol (just got 1000gs in fist of the north star: kens rage)

I also own a ps3 because I wanted to play all the awesome jrpgs but time is less, can't play everything and I still have my nds lite for trips by plane, holidays and so on but I hope a ps vita will take place of it soon.

Personally I own a 360, ps3 and wii, the reason I have all 3 is I love gaming always have always will, having all 3 means I get to play all the exclusives for all the consoles. More recently though I have purchased a gaming pc purely to try out mods, I only have skyrim on it at the moment but with the right mods its like i'm playing a totally different game to my ps3 version, I was quite shocked at just how much quicker everything loads up compared to my ps3, I was so impressed I have now cancelled all my ps3 pre-orders and have re-ordered them on pc.

Xbox 360 so I could play Halo on Xbox Live.

EDIT: I also bought a Wii when it came out (was lucky enough to get one 2 weeks after launch) for Zelda and SSBB.

I have been a Nintendo Fan since the NES.

However when the xbox was release a year before Wii and games dried up on gamecube I jumped on x360 when it came out. But I wanted a blu-ray player and purchased a PS3 for that sole reason only. However as I used it I liked the games also and preferred the controller for 2d beat em ups such as street fighter. Honestly the only reason I used the PS3 now is movies or GT5.

I will stick with my PC for hardcore games such as half-life 2.

Do you guys have any recommendations so I can get some more use out of my 360? I see lots of people seem to prefer the exclusives, so I'm curious as I can't really find anything to buy for it anymore.

Im kinda of a shmup fan.
If you like the genre you have a few.
ESPgaluda 2, Mushihimesama Futari 1.5, Dodonpachi Resurrection (PAL), Deathsmiles, Akai Katana Shin, Eschatos, Bullet Soul.
Other games you might enjoy from differente genres: Lost Odissey, Halo Series of course lol, Forza, Gears of War, Infinite Undescovery (Not that bad), Magna Carta 2, Tales of Vesperia, and i might be missing more.

Me personally I only use my ps3 for many reasons. For the bluray, I prefer it's controller and it's exclusives like god of war, uncharted, resistance, killzone and it also use to be resident evil and metal gear but they had to put those in Xbox

Resident Evil a Sony exclusive? Nope, never was, neither was Metal Gear Solid, besides 3 and now 3 is not an exclusive anymore so only 4.
Unfortunately i do not share your taste i sincerely think that resistance and killzone are not top tier exclusives.
On the other hand Uncharted series is just amazing, whilst God Of War is not bad, but it's not over the top either.
And Xbox controller is way better for the majority of games (Except for Fighters, but i use an arcade stick so yeah).
