Streak Thunderstorm Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Well... I'm supposed to go shopping for my Christmas gift next weekend and there's pretty much only two things I want. 1) An Xbox 360 with Sonic or 2) A new Amp. [My amp blows.] Now, I want them equally as much but I can only schoose one seeing as how they're the same price. What should I do. What should I pick?

DimensionWarped Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 An XBox 360 with Dead Rising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hRook Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 You realize a video game board is going to tell you to get the video game choice right? I say you get the amp, because you're going to get a much larger return on that if you start gigging around and stuff. An Xbox 360 is more of a luxury, not something you can actually use.

Streak Thunderstorm Posted December 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 @ DW Ehh. I kinda planned on getting Sonic. You realize a video game board is going to tell you to get the video game choice right?I say you get the amp, because you're going to get a much larger return on that if you start gigging around and stuff. An Xbox 360 is more of a luxury, not something you can actually use. Hey, you never know. Some people play guitar here. I know I didn't ask this question in vain.

Aerosol Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 I'd get the amp, simply because playing guitar is more relaxing than any game. Atleast I think so. So get the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Sage, I sure hope you never give a girlfriend a Vacuum cleaner or pencils or something that will "give a return" for Christmas. Christmas presents are supposed to be a luxury. Anyway, Streak, getting Sonic would be stupid. Its still full price, reviewers dislike it, and its probably going to devalue quickly. Get a game that been around long enough to drop in price and is known to be very good before going for the fanboy wants that cost money. And Aerosol, if you are playing a guitar for the purpose of relaxation, you should be playing an acoustic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hRook Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 That's not a very valid point, DW. He's picking the present out for himself. An amp is a luxury, yet at the same time has more return value than an Xbox 360. Also, it's possible to play relaxing music on an electric. Easily. Just switch to clean. Ever listen to jazz?

Streak Thunderstorm Posted December 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 I pretty much made my decision in this short time. I realize the Xbox360 may go down in price. Sonic might go down too. The amp, however... has ben this price for a while. Plus I have a really ____ty Marshall Mg10 series [it's like... 10 watts. I can't hear it for crap.] so I've decided to get the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"An amp is a luxury, yet at the same time has more return value than an Xbox 360." Psh. For the sake of pissing people off and being different, I'm going to that if you're really good at some generic shooters- get an X360. You can always be a nerd and join tons of tournaments in an attempt to make money. ::mauled:: Edit: Oh. He got the amp. Just remember, you can't PLAY B3YOND with that. Lawl, crappy PS3 slogan.

Aerosol Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 the act of playing a guitar relaxes me. doesn't matter if its a classical, or an acoustic, or an electric. heck, the pllaying of ANY instrument relaxes me. except drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epon Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Get the XBox, pass on Sonic and get Madden instead. Trust me, better buy. I beat Sonic last night; nothing impressive other than the music and cut-scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epon Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Why buy Madden? They are just going to come out with another version in a few months with slightly better snow flake physics anyway. I roughly translated that as "My anus enjoys the company of my head". Excuse me for not suggesting Anime, FPS, World of Warcraft, subscription to a hentai website, or Phantasy Star Online 22. My other counterpoint in this ridiculous argument is that if you researched before stating that, you'd know that the new Madden has about a dozen new features from last year. But again, sorry for promoting a game that isn't any of the above listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shadix Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 It depends on how much amp you are going to get. If your parents aren't going to be willing to pay enough for you to get a nice amp then don't bother. Wait and save till you can get a good one then settling for less. Edit: err... It appears I'm late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slingerland Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Ya, Epon...that was kinda...well...retarded. Madden is Madden every year unfortunately (I rent it every year, just because I find buying the same game is stupid). You gotta admit that some features are pretty lame and do nothing to the game: OMG AH'M UH LIGHTHOUZ! (Luckily, I could turn this feature off) Get the amp, Steak, IMO. EDIT: Oh...you're getting both. Nevermind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
