Is Xbox360 worth it? (For me?)

*jeff the cheff* · 08-19-2007, 03:27 PM

I went into an EB store the other day to check out some wii games, and Madden 08 was on an xbox 360. I played for a little bit and thought it was amazing, it looked great especially compared to madden for PS2.

I have a wii that I share with my little sister, and I'll be at college without a car so I won't have it all the time. I used to be really into videogames, but as I got older, I've been more of a casual gamer, enjoying simpler games, like anything on wii.

Right now, the only reason I want an xbox 360 is for madden, although I know there are some other great games out, and more coming. Do you think it's worth it to spend that much on a system when I will probably only spend a few hours a week playing?

The first part is more up to me to decide, but I'd like some opinions. My other question is which kind should I get. Do I need a core system, premium system? Whats the difference? Also, I heard you need an hdtv to have the great graphics. Is it worth it to get the system if I'm mostly going to be playing on a 20" tv without hd? I do have a 50+" tv at home with hd, but I have an apartment away from home for the next 12 months at school, so I won't be playing on it a lot.

btw, on ebay a used core system is about $200
