Top 10 Things 360 Owners Want for Christmas

From the PlanetXbox360.com feature list:

"So, it's that time of year when Santa comes and brings gamers all the things we want. From gift cards to underwear and controllers to consoles, but there is so much out there that the average gamer can't possibly just walk into a store and buy. There are circumstances where say, a game isn't out yet, which inspires us as gamers to hound the developers or risk sneaking into the studio for a sneak peek. But, in all fairness, I've decided to play this from the angle of what exactly I think all gamers would want for Christmas, I think it the most appropriate because even with mounds of snow, icy roads and nightmarish cold, we all just want to game."

This is a list of the top 10 things that Xbox 360 owners want for Christmas 2009 - chosen by the team at gaming website PlanetXbox360.com - everything from HDMI cables to PS3 exclusives!

[Valkyrie83]

Gotta love the PS3 exclusive choice, wow would I love to play that game with my 360 controller and achievements.....nice list!

[Kevin ButIer]

You write: Bonus Item - Uncharted 2 - OK so I know this will never actually happen but if I could choose one Playstation 3 exclusive from 2009 to play on my Xbox 360 it would be this title, from the guys at Naughty Dog. It does says something though that Microsoft has somehow only missed out on one triple-A title for the entire year, well done. If Santa is listening I'll also take God of War III for 2010.

I say: Add to your list ---> Get a PS3... 299

[Bnet343]

I agree with GEC. People complain about 360 fanboys, but all I'm seeing lately is PS3 fanboys jerk around for no reason. Just hold the urge of hitting the submit comment button. You'll save people a lot of grief. At least stay in the Open Zone or something.

[deadreckoning666]

Lol, the only way to determine this is to do a survey. I like how PlanetXbox360 knows what the 360 fanbase want without even asking them =D

[jammy_70]

a ps3.......?

[jellybalboa]

they want the beast known to them as the ps3, even santas elves and biatches want a ps3, dammit even santa himself wants a ps3

[presto717]

.

[bjornbear]

However i disagree with DJ hero =/ seriously? Get Forza 3 or smt!

@ the PS3 restraining orders:

As far as I am concerned, this was going on just about when the PS3 was out, except it was the PS3 fans being torn apart by the 360 fans.

Now, the tables turned, and a lot of people that went through that are now just giving it back =)

You get what you give in life, regardless of the form.

In this case, its negative energy being returned as far as I am concerned =)

Still, it is getting stupidly-over-the-top on some articles =/

want to make a change? bubbles,diagrees, and logical arguments

[JokesOnYou]

bjornbear, I love how you act as if there was some point in time when ps3 extremists were being innocently attacked by 360 owners....NO, sony loyalists were so jealous the 360 launched first they spent the entire year bashing anything and everything 360 related saying that ps3 launch would be so much better, blah, blah, blah, we heard it all year, and of course sony's arrogance of "next gen doesn't start until we say so BS" didnt help, the whole year sony folks ate it up, proclaiming ps3 would outsell 360 in 6 months at the time, well we know how that turned out, so stop the BS, fanboys on both sides over-due it with attacks from time to time, but anybody with a shred of common sense can see ps3 fanboys are by far the worst hypocrites in gaming(at least the ones who troll this site).

JOY

[RockmanII7]

Sure, but I joined this site in July. I have to go through the sh1t in the comments everyday and your excuse is that your getting revenge for something that happened 2 years ago that I didn't do. WTF?

PS learn to let go of a grudge.

[UltimaEnder]

I agree on the PS3 exclusive, this time last year I thought it would be Killzone 2 but that turned out to be an epic disappointment.....can't win em all Sony

[Parapraxis]

Killzone 2 was absolutely fantastic in my opinion.

[SlipperyMooseCakes]

I bought both Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2. I didn't really like Killzone 2 but Uncharted is amazing and blew my mind. Both are solid games, KZ2 just isn't for me.

[Parapraxis]

well said SlipperyMooseCakes,
There's a big difference between what you said and what UltimaEnder said.
He suggested that it wasn't a good game, whereas you said that it wasn't a game suited to your tastes.
I don't care for opera music, but I'm not going to say it is no good. For many it's the best music out there.
Common sense, it's a wondrous thing!

On topic...ish.
If there was a companion PS3 list I'd suggest L4D2 as the "bonus" for PS3 owners, I'd love to play this game on my PS3 with friends.

[Ragz017]

"I agree on the PS3 exclusive, this time last year I thought it would be Killzone 2 but that turned out to be an epic disappointment.....can't win em all Sony"

Gamespot Competitive Multiplayer of the year
Gamespot Shooter of the year

[Wrathman]

how bout that 1 year warranty on the breakstation!!! lol. 2disc drive failures....and 1 refurb death.lol..all for the small price £130.lol

the ps3 is so popular they have to release 2 consoles in the space of 3 years just to catch MS xbox360 sales.

thats a laugh.

all 360 users need is an xbox slim bah hahahaha

[Vertius]

I thought a PS3 would be number one! ;)

[Anorexorcist]

But ow, FFXIII certainly shows them that Blu-Ray is better than anything they got left to bargain with.

[Main_Street_Saint]

I'll wait for Final Fantasy 15. Sure to be published on a quad layer Blu-ray disc. It'll be the ultimate FF game: an awesome 30 hours of cinemas and 5 hours of actual game.

[edwineverready]

At least they get some triple AAA action!

[EpicGamerSwordsman]

Triple A Action hahaha...

[FiftyFourPointTwo]

All they want is another Halo game starring Master Chump.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Loose the PS3 exclusive at the end and make it Mass Effect 2 released this year and I would say you got a decent list there.

Not that UC2 isn't excellent but I find that a completely stupid thing to put on the list, even as a bonus.

[presto717]

.

[Bathyj]

I fiind it stupid that #1 isnt a PS3. If I was a XB only owner, that what I would want. You're supposed to be gamers, why would you overlook that.

And it shouldnt put future releases, its for Christmas, otherwise I'd be saying where the hells Splinter Cell, and can I have something a bit more imaginative than Microsoft points?

[deshon09]

it will never happen

[RockmanII7]

People can want a game knowing they won't get it. I personally really want Mod Nations Racers for my 360.

[sleepyazn]

Halo:Reach to come faster?

[NoOoB101]

I agree, I would love left for dead 1 or 2 to come to ps3.
Maybe even Mass Effect.

[Aleusia]

I imagine they want PS3 exclusives to come to their console, hence all the petitions.

[LEGENDARY PELON]

why is their a lot of ps3 fangirls just bashing the 360 on n4g?

You guys are so retarded by making fun of Halo!

You guys are the ones that need good games!

Just give me ps3 exclusive that has had Halo 3 sales,reviews,hype, and multi??

NONE!!! Stop hating and go back to playing unfarted 2!!!

Halo Reach GOTY!!

[Microsoft HQ]

Gran Turismo

[LEGENDARY PELON]

ha ha ha!

are you for reals?
i said ps3 not ps2!

gt5 is not even released yet!
but c'mon it looks friggin boring!!!

but answer my question would ya??

[Aleusia]

You know, there are alot of petitions for PS3 exclusives.

[DigitalHorror81]

But the question is, which will it be?

God OF War III
Heavy Rain
White Knight Chronicles

There are more, but the PS3 haters likely won't listen. I could sit here all day naming off hot exclusives.

[Dutch Boogie]

NO RROD lol /jk

[Bush]

What I want for Xmas is a 360 that won't red ring my did it last week after playing Assassins Creed 2 I also want a North American Release date for Tales of vesperia for the PS3

[chidori666]

more multplataform games..

off topic: merry xmas all of n4g people ;0

[Jamescagney]

Maybe Xbox owners should wish that ps3 fanboys don't invade 360 articles on n4g.

[Dutch Boogie]

Maybe xbox360 owners should stop crying about ps3 fanboys in 360 articles. You do realise that many gamers have multiple consoles right? Bet you're one of those kids who also thinks NA = the world lol.

[Jamescagney]

That has three flaws. The first is that you assume I'm not a gamer with multiple consoles. The second is that you assume I live in North America. The third is that you assume I'm a kid.

[Marty8370]

A console that works.

cheap hard drives

[fafoon]

They are all gonna get a RRoD for christmas

[Johnny Rotten]

and a $50 fee to play online.

[havikzero]

I would actually like a rrod for christmas. I need to replace one of my controllers that I dropped and broke using best buy's awesome replacement plan. But I would have to take a break from playing mass effect and crackdown to prepare for the sequels.

[dgroundwater]

"the PC gamers might actually still have something to lord over console gamers (mouse and keyboard doesn’t count since most consoles accept them now via usb)."

What? What console games have Kb/M support? Who thinks this is an advantage?

[Persistantthug]

I've actually been wondering why more game don't utilize this feature/option.

I just got Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 and it could have benefited from this.

Obviously FF11 offered the option on PS2 so it's probably likely that FF14 Online will probably have it too.

Hopefully more games offer the option....Consoles are basically and fundamentally computers now anyways, so they might as well start having Keyboard and mice.

[eagle21]

ROXANNE.....PUT OUT DA RED LIGHTS. :)

[Man_of_the_year]

I would love to have steel battalion on the 360. I would say that is the great game ever made. The best Mech sim ever created and i had the best time playing that game. Thank you Capcom for the greatest game EVER!!!! However due to the very expensive controller ($500) and game, there was a small community and Capcom only made a very limited amount. They ended up closing the multiplayer servers when the community started to die down....since there were limited sales for this game the community was dead. Took about an hour just to get a game going with 4v4. Most of the time it was 1v1 or 2v2. great example that SALES MEANS EVERYTHING. Without a community playing the game, then what is the sense of having a great game if you can't play it the way it was ment to be played?

[menoyou]

Well it can't be games because the 360 didn't really get any this year.

[DigitalHorror81]

Sad, isn't it?

[Main_Street_Saint]

8 out of the 10 things they have listed isn't on my list; Microsoft points and Full backwards compatibility being the obvious two that would be. Don't get me wrong, Halo: Reach might be awesome but it isn't something I really WANT on my top ten. So what is on my list? Here is my top ten:

10. Full backwards compatibility.
9. Two Capcom official 360 Street Fighter IV fighting controllers.
8. The ability to log on your live account from any friend's console without the memory unit or having to 'recover gamertag' BS.
7. A Konami Castlevania collection disc with some of the later Castlevania games (starting with Rando of blood).
6. Zach and Wiki ported over to 360 with more features and new quests (either that or a sequel).
5. 50% price cut (at the least) for wireless mics.
6. This is a two in one, involving the Video marketplace: A larger anime list and the option to have a purchase all for a season at a somewhat discounted price.
5. News about Saint's row 3 and/or a teaser trailer.
4. Orange box 2 (come on, I want Portal 2 and Half-life 2 episode 3).
3. Companies having cross console online game modes for 360/PS3 for most 3rd party games.
2. Larger and less expensive Memory units.
1. IPTV in the US.

There you go, that is my list. I know some of those are just downright not possible but I do like to dream big.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Steel Battalion: LOC on my 360. Yes, I would love that!

[Aleusia]

360 has no gaems...seriously, the tables have turned.

The fanbase is dominated by alpha male minded shooting fans.

Jrpgs will never sell on the 360, Japan is done with you guys so don't expect to get FFvsXIII or FFXIV. The guys I listed above ruined that for the rest of you, they also call Japanese games gay and believe that only girls like the games, they really ruined it for you. I really don't see anymore Japan exclusives for the 360.

RROD is not any better and the sales mostly come from replacements and people who were too impatient to wait for their consoles to be returned.

The controller sucks, mainly personal preference but also because it takes AA batteries that aren't even rechargable.

You have to buy all of the accessories to be able to do the same things the ps3 can do.

Live isn't better than PSN, I can live without Cross Game Chat plus we get to play online for free....

We have more exclusives and more on the way than you guys, I'm sure more might be confirmed for the 360 but it won't matter and you're deluding yourself if you think Halo Reach is going to matter or stack up against our exclusive line up.

Why do our exclusives always look better? You guys claim to have the bigger gpu which is true, but our exclusives always have the best visuals and gameplay, why is this? Hell, Folklore looks better than any of your exclusive jrpgs and it came out in 2007..our early exclusives look better than your most recent ones, that is sad.

Blu ray a failure hmm? Well we made you eat your words with that one..do expect more plates of crow to come to your table sirs.

Why didn't any of your exclusives win year end awards? Forza 3 got the best racer but there really wasn't any competition, GT5 wasn't out.

Mandatory installs are not a bad thing, if it improves the gameplay and I have the space...who really loses? By the way it's a good idea to install your 360 games if you can it lessens the chance of console failure.

Why do you think Microsoft pushed it out the door a year early? A whole year guys....I think it was because they knew they really could not compete with the PS3 and Sony, you can deny that all you like bots.

And for the guys toting the install base, are you aware that our install base has reached 30 million? That's 5 million behind you and 1 million of those were sold in 1 week after Final Fantasy XIII. What do you think is gonna happen when the game comes here to the States and Europe? What about God of War 3? White Knight Chronicles? hmmm?...

Xbox 360 is dead, I don't want microsoft to be back next generation, they are a plague on console gaming.
