    So yeah I have a Wii right now, but the games are getting pretty old. .. Since blackops is coming out soon I was thinking abot getting an xbox. Which one should I get? New slim/old elite/or even old pro? Or a PS3?

    just look at that ps3 vs xbox thread... xbox has bigger online community if thats what ur interested in, xbox triggers are better than ps3 so better for FPS

    well I'm actually pretty sure that I'd take an xbox over ps3. How good is the 4gb version of the slim? I could get it for $150. But then again, I heard it doesn't work with halo reach online mp....? >_< oh and i'd mainly be playing blackops :O

    you're seriously wanting to buy? with money? just get with your points with the 1000 referal sites u use, most of them offer xbox dont buy w/o hard drive, some games require it u cant buy based on one game, gotta make it futureproof, thats why i think i prefer ps3 but it depends on the style of games

    Just buy the 250GB New model. It's quiet, kinnect ready, and will hold your shit. Enough said.

    the slim is really only worth it for the 250 gb hd and the wireless adapter tbh, but i always prefer ethernet > wireless

    Well I don't want to spend another $60 or so on a wireless adapter.. so slim is a given. Gonna talk to my dad about this tomorrow 8) //HOw bad is the lag on xbox live? I just played some MWR for wii again.. and the lag completely destroys the game. I'm thinking it'll be the same for the wii version of blackops... so yea

    for call of duty, lag depends on the host and your own connection. often there is no/little lag, but there are some times when the lag is just unbearable. in MW2 especially, a lot of rage quitting goes on, so if the host rage quits, it goes into host migration and that shit is annoying >.> but yeah, connections are pretty good in terms of online

    There are no servers to host games, so naturally it's going to be complete shit.

    If you want, I can sell you a xbox live 12 month subscription for $40, retail price is $60.
