360 Anxiety

[synthetic_moon]

Ok, so I'm about to purchase my first brand new game system. I'm pretty excited since most of my other consoles; my playstation and gamecube, were previously owned. However, my boyfriend, who lives with me, has one. I think he's trying to guilt me into not buying one, but I really want to be able to play my games while he plays his

Have you played any games though? Is it worth the extra hundred?

I've heard great things about Kinect and Dance Central, mainly just how some people can lose weight on it xD
But you can tell your boyfriend that if you have your own 360, you guys can play the same games over the 360 community without having to share screens! ie my friends have 2 360s so he and his brother can play Call of Duty together (of course that'll require you to both have the same games too, which he might also guilt you about, haha)

There's a post a few posts down about the Kinect with lots of helpful reviews. :)

As for getting a second 360- maybe tell him that you could play co-op games on separate TVs if you had a second one? Me and boyfriend actually quite want another for this reason (as well as it's the console favourite in the house, so if one plays the other can't :P).

See this is how I feel, and I want to play Black Ops too, but he's all like, 'radda radda radda..' I'll show him my tread here and maybe he'll agree with me.

I guess if you get a good console deal with the Kinect go fot it. I'd love to play Dance Central but to me one game isn't worth the buying it just yet, I'm waiting until the library grows a bit.
