You hear all the hype – all the time. PS3 is the best – no, forget that, it has to be the Wii, or no, no, no, it’s the Xbox guys. You know what? I’m here to lay the hype to rest. The best system is the Xbox 360 and this article will give you 10 solid reasons explaining why. Ready… Now don’t get me wrong, gaming systems from Sony and Nintendo are good – solid titles, graphics yada yada yada. BUT, when it comes to really getting the maximum out of your gaming system than the Xbox 360 has them all beat.
Whether it is titles, graphics or its brilliant ability to link to other players, LIVE, around the world in real-time, the Xbox 360 wins hands down!
Here are my top 10 reasons for you to choose the 360 before any other system.
1. The Xbox360 come with awesome wireless connections which I just love.
Letting you remain in control from over 30 feet away, I find this feature perfect for those long gaming sessions when you get tired of staying in the same position. It definitely helps my gaming!
2. The games list is just awesome – and keeps getting better. Not only are some of the best games ever written available on the 360, but many amazing titles are written exclusively for the Xbox 360.
& nbsp;3. The Xbox Live feature is truly revolutionary – you get to play multiplayer games against opponents from all over the world. You can create gamer tags for id, make avatars, create a friends list, set up a rating system, keep track of your achievements and so much more. This alone makes the Xbox 360 the best.
4. If you are thinking of upgrading from the Xbox and are worried about the games that you have already bought, worry not. Over 200 Xbox games are compatible with the Xbox 360!
5. The Xbox Live feature also lets you tap into an awesome arcades marketplace. Here you can try free games, ultra cheap games and more. The possibilities are endless.
6. Xbox 360 graphics just rock! The 360 runs three (three!) 3.2 GH processors that run with a 500MhzATI graphics processor. You want power? Need I say more?
7. Remember, the Xbox 360 is more than just gaming. It is also an all-round entertainment system so you can watch movies, download music and play your own CDs as well.
8. The Xbox 360 plugs you right into the heart of the game development world.
You get the opportunity to download demos, and bonus packs from game developers. This is a great feature that lets you tap into the latest cutting- edge gaming developments.
9. The Xbox 360 keeps track of your gaming history – lets you easily recall scores, favorite games, images and so on.
10. The Headset feature lets you chat in real time to friends and fellow gamers around the world. & nbsp; Imagine chatting to teammates and opponents while playing? How cool is that?
11. Oh yeah – I’ll throw in one more reason as well – the Xbox 360 just looks cool. Not only that, you can easily mod it with different face plates as well.
& nbsp;If you want your gaming gear to look good then you have no choice.
If those 10 (sorry, 11!) reasons don’t persuade you then you must be lacking some serious gaming passion. If you want to take your gaming to the next level then the Xbox 360 is the only game in town. Enjoy!

Top-level comments on this article: (3 total)...not really a good list. I'll adress the problems 1. Wireless controllers? The PS3 and the wii both have that...and the 360 does have wired controllers on the core version...and then the wii and PS3 both have wireless adaptors to hook with to the internet....you need to buy an 100 dollar adaptor for the 360 to be fully wireless. (And dont mention the 20 gig PS3 since its been discontinued) 2.Ok...Ill give you this one for now...but currently the ps3 is catching up with some really good first party titles. The wii is ok..but not enough for the hardcore, but Metroid and super mario galaxy is gonna help put a stop to that. 3. Online for the xbox is better the PS3s (and definitely the wii) but The PS online is getting better with trophies at home...and you can choose your avatar talk with people and have a friends list....but the gamer score and achievement is one of the best features but PS3 home will have trophies to counter act the achievements. Plus its all free on PS3..not $50 a year like Xbox live 4. Backwards compatibility is not that strong for the 360, 200 games isnt that much. The american 60 GB is alot better, though the 80 gb and other PS3s will have worst compatibility due to emulation. The wii is BC with all Gamecube games 5.XBX live games are just basically classic games with new graphics with some online play and rankings..but not really oringinal games. The wii isnt that much better though. But PS3 has alot of oringinal unique games coming out. But 360 does have that XNA that lets you create games... but that costs money..But the currency for the 3 systems...360 has the worst currency with its mesed up scale. Wii is better since its a penny a point...and the PS3 is the best simply because it uses regular money. 6.Actually the PS3 is more powerful and capable of Better graphics...I dont feel like listing the cells if you wanna know just ask me..my email is at the end of the comment. The wii is just kinda weak but twice gamecube power...thought thats not saing much compared to the others 7.The 360 is good for donwloading movies...and thats because Sony hasnt launched their video service...yet. But thats it...cant download too much stuff since the 20 gig will fill up fast....unless you have the elite. 8.Ok..I'll give you that one too since XBX Live has more stuff than the Playstation Network...but thats because it was out longer. 9. I wouldnt call that a great features but its a feature...but you can count that as a win. 10...The PS3 can do that too? So even I guess. 11. Thats more of an opinion. My opinion...The 360 sorta looks ugly next to the other systems. But the detachable faceplates are cool for custimization though.
ok how baout this?? the xbox has its reason and so does the ps3 does that make all you happy?? you think i care if you dont like what i wrote well thats fine too but i think the 360 is better than the ps3 because ive just allways ben nintendo and microsoft fanCalm down m8, That your opinion and thats fine people were just stating that you WERE making most of those out to be special and unique but the PS3 does most of them aswell and some of them better. 3 words for you- Blu Ray Disc(Oh BTW- I don't mind the 360 so don't turn round calling me biased)
One reason to get the Xbox 360: It rocks! :)Great article by the way!
