Go to a mall or some original Microsoft store where you'll buy your Xbox from and you'll get all original games.

Also, buying a console means you'll be spending sh*t loads of cash if you wanna enjoy new game titles every time one is released. And PS3 and Xbox 360 are over 6 years old now. The hardware is getting old. You can't upgrade it; you'll just have to live with it till they stop producing games or buy PS4 when it comes out.

If you compare the graphics and performance of PS3 and on a desktop computer with good components, then you'll be surprised at the difference. Desktop computers can be upgraded and still be used with MS or Sony or third party controllers. The performance is unparalleled. I would never buy a console for games as it's just a commercial way of selling them. The games were produced on a PC - they should be played on a PC.

Either way, it's just my opinion; today's technology is developing extremely fast, so buying a console at this time wouldn't be a good choice.

Oh and if you like modding and hacking your N9, you'd love modding a game. Damn, the possibilities are endless and.. that "open" feeling just isn't there on a console game.

After all America is the only place where you get a good smarthphone for $49.99 on the cheapest contract plan...The difference between people who can and can't afford a flagship phone? $199.99 vs $0 or $49.99...


Note: The above are in jest and don't condone AMD's type of attitude which I've encountered so many times personally that I feel its a waste of my cells to be bothered with it...

Google it and do your research, you would've found out the Xbox 360 is easy to mod and play cracked games. The PS3 isn't.

I don't live in Lebanon, but I know for a fact that legit games aren't actually difficult to find. Or expensive. Its simply that the cracked games are easy to buy and they're much cheaper... meaning you simply can't be bothered/care/stingy. Not that I agree the current pricing system is correct or sufficient, but that's a debate for another day.

Besides, didn't you ask your friends?
There's a reason why they have the Xbox, it's because they play cracked games.

And cracked games require a modded console. You can't go on the internet with it. Like ever. Otherwise, M$ sends out a unique code which locks your console, stops it from working.

(Besides we knew the no internet thing was a lie, I mean come on you're on it right now)
