Any reason not to sell Xbox 360?

jkcampbell730 · 04-29-2008, 08:07 AM

Hey All,
I just upgraded my computer (specs in signature with addition of 22" Widescreen Samsung monitor) so I can game better on it and because my old one was outdated. I really upgraded to gear up for StarCraft 2 so I'm ready when it comes out (whenever that will be).

I am now thinking about selling my Xbox 360 because I heard that all the games coming out on the 360 are also coming out on PC. The only reason I can think of to keep my 360 is so I can play on my 50" Plasma Vizio HDTV, but other than that I got nothing.

Can anyone think of any reason why I shouldn't sell it and vic versa?

well you can keep it for possible exclusive games, wen friends are over. but if ur sick of it and u wont miss it wen its gone, sure sell it if thats wat u want. its ur stuff so u can do wateva u like with it.

I'm sure I'll miss it when it's gone, but I don't even play much of it right now due to my work and my wife. So I figure I might as well sell it and get the money for it since I dropped a load on upgrading my computer and still want to upgrade it some more.

Just looking for some insight to see what other people think.

Hook up your PC to your TV. You'll forget about your 360, lol.

360 is good for gaming because the games that are made for the 360 are, well... made for the 360, so you wont see any game lag. the 360 is also good as a multimedia player, because you can hook it up to your Windows PC either directly or over a network and listen to music, watch videos, view pictures, etc, plus you can use the 360 for watching movies.

the only way a 360 could lag is if they made Crysis for it...

for me, exclusive games was the only reason. i got rid of my 360, and i'll admit i'm a little bummed i have to wait for a PC version of GTA4 and SW: Force Unleashed

I vote for selling it, it seems to me like you are only keeping it around to own it. I personally have a Wii that I should sell simply for lack of playing it.
