I've been playing WoW lately, but I've had an urge to play my 360. I can't seem to play two things at once. You guys think I should quit WoW and just stick with my 360?

Do you have more friends on 360 or WoW?
 
Whichever one you socialize with more stick with that, it's good to play together.

Yeah, I got Halo ODST, CoD MW2, and AC2 preordered. That might actually sway me away from WoW.

Well I never even really cared much about WoW as a MMO, and while Xbox Live is really mostly for online play, there's definitely a ton more to it than a single game...

I dropped WoW along time ago but if you have friends on there (and by friends I mean REAL friends) then sure stick to it

Go for you Xbox 360 then.  Xbox 360 has a bunch of online games while WoW is just one game.

No offense, but what a horrible, horrible thread.

I've never been able to do both.   If you are at the point where WoW is eating your soul, play xbox360.  It's a good palette cleanser.  I'm currently on a 4 month WoW break but will probably be back for the 5th anniversary crap, good luck.

Same here which is why I quit.  I loved WoW while I was into it but it's such a time sink and it made me feel guilty about playing other games.  Sure I had fun with GTA, but I could have been leveling all that time.  WoW consumed my soul and I gladly fed it on a silver platter.   But, I quit and I don't regret it (well, I was momentarily tempted when I saw Cataclysm).  I agree that if you feel you are spending nearly all your time in Azeroth, take a good long break and play something else.

Asking WoW vs 360 on giantbomb.com is a one-sided argument.  WoW has no chance here.

Perhaps there's a reason for that.
Would you recommend going to a World of Warcraft fansite instead?
 
You're going to get biased opinions anywhere, at least the community here on Giantbomb tends to have less fanboys than most places.

Yes, you can play more games on Xbox Live than playing more games on World of Warcraft.

@WinterSnowblind:  
 
 Agreed.  There are a lot of former WoW gamers on Giant Bomb, but I've found that even among the never-played folks, most at least respect what the game has to offer even if it is not to their tastes.  Some people just enjoy bashing WoW because it's WoW, but those aren't all that present.  A lot of members will recommend games that they know and enjoy as an alternative, because people can only suggest what they are familiar with.   And, there is nothing wrong with that.  It's all about spreading the love..."this is what I am having fun with now, you should play that." 
 
If you want to just talk WoW, there are many of good sites out there.  You should probably start with www.wow.com.

WoW is extremely easy now, and can barely be considered a time investment after level 80 (which is partially why I and a lot of my  other guildmates quit after WOTLK). I see now reason why you can't play both. You can get best-in-slot raid gear from heroics, for gods sake. So stop whining, suck it up and spend more money. =D

if you don't know what the point of the XBL monthly fee is....all I've gotta say is...."sigh"
 
Also, depends on what you want more. WoW is $180 a year, and XBL is $50 a year

Should there even be one? We're pitting a console vs. one mmo. The choice is pretty self-evident, maid especially obvious by the season ahead. 
Not to mention the amount of people who would do well to put WoW down more often for any reason. 
 
Should I play littleBigPlanet or my N64?

That's a pretty coy argument. Add in the cost for the actual games and it might be a somewhat comparable statement.
 
 Asking this on giantbomb is fatal. I'd say WoW but it's your call.

Wow is only one game, if you get Halo 3 ($40) + a year of XBL= $80

It was actually Microsoft's Xbox live tagline for a couple months, before they changed it to "jump in"

You're not making your case look any better. Go on, insult my intelligence, tell me what it is.
