In what has turned out to be a monster thread over on the Gamespot Forums, a 360 gamer has gotten the evil words “360 or me” spoken to him. Whether or not the gamer in question here has a significant problem playing to much is of course in question, but what if he’s just the average gamer with a girlfriend who just hates games?
Yes, he did buy his girlfriend Viva Pinata for there anniversary (bad move). He does admit to thinking about fudgehogs while making out with her, but does that mean he needs to get rid of his 360 just because she wants him to? Why make him make a choice like this in the first place. Obviously she doesn’t like who he is anyway. A 360 is in no way a replacement for a woman, but an Xbox doesn’t make you choose between it or a girlfriend. Maybe this guy should dump her for someone who happens to be a gamer also, so things like this don’t become a issue.
What would you do?

honestly?? who cares about a girlfriend these days?? hookers are much cheaper and they don`t ask question about your weird fetish… me? I`d only consider to take the girl over the x, if I can definitely say I had more fun with her than with the x so far… and no I am not referrin`to the sexual content of the relationship… problem that I see for the girls and the human population would be if men realize they can have just as much fun without a girl… that would be against natures plan… however lucky humans, there are enough males out there fucking everything remotely human just to spread their genes so no problem there…

This has turned into some thread. I am a gamer too but my girl friend understood that. Find another girl dude. I mean why was she your girl in the first place if she didn’t understand your interest.

Why doesnt she admit she want the 360 for herself… I would kick him out and keep the 360
)
Seriously if he doesnt have a gaming problem such as neglecting other dutys, I think he should find himself a gamer.
neighter me or my fiance would live with another person who doesnt fit in under gamer …
Good luck dude

this is tough…I’d lower my gaming hours and spend more time with her so she’d realize that she is more important than my box.

Any female threatened by an Xbox is retarded — FACT — Does this chick have down syndrome??? Oh yeah who buys thier girlfriend an Xbox game on their anniversary. Do they both have down syndrome??

uh, the issue isn’t that they’re threatened by an Xbox.
The issue is that who wants to be with someone who is always ignoring you?

Video games take up a lot of free time and if you and your girlfriend disagree on such a major hobby of yours; it probably wasn’t meant to be until you find someone who doesn’t mind games, you get tired of games or you can hopefully come to a compromise.
I’ve never ran into it though; all of my girlfriends have enjoyed watching Television, which I don’t really like. I like movies on DVD, but nothing on broadcast TV really interests me (other than South Park) so we would compromise by giving each other their collective space to enjoy their hobby; mine being video games and theirs being television.
Another example is some ex-girlfriends of mine have loved coffee, like Cuppy’s Coffee. I can’t stand the taste of coffee, although the smell doesn’t bother me. So every morning I would go by a gas station and get an energy drink and they would go by a Cuppys Coffee and get their espresso drinks.
The point being; sometimes life is about compromise, and you can have both.

Xbox360s have nothing to do with relationships!

Hmmm, well, the 360 is a one-shot deal…spend the cash and it’s yours for life. The girl, on the other hand, requires a top-up more regularly (and expensively) than a Roadrunner with a Hemi. Save your $ and keep the 360…a year from now you can buy that Roadrunner with the money you save…
A girlfriend is like the land version of a boat…a hole in the water into which you throw money.

XBox 360 won’t wipe your ass for you when you’re too old/sick to do it yourself. Get your priorities straight. People always trump machines.

You’ll grow out of XBox, but not your girlfriend.
XBox doesn’t come with kids and a future, but a girlfriend does =]

XBox may be fun, I agree, but it’s temporary. It becomes out-dated in a year or two. A gf? lifelong if you’re lucky, but you’ll probably get bored of her in a year or two also. So get a new girlfriend and a new hobby.

My girl does that same thing.. I cant even play Gears of War for an hour without a dirty look, and her trying to talk to me when im in the middle of a round.. and then getting pissed when i dont hear exactly what she said. I mean damn im fighting it out 4 v 1, and have people yelling the Mic.. and she gets pissed… annoys me so much and just makes me want to play more.
The girl should leave the guy alone.. chris rock said it best Feed Me, FUK Me, and Shut the FUK UP.

Hahaha, you think you guys have it bad because your Gf wants you off the xbox!! My boyfriend told me the exact same thing, and I picked the xbox, but later on he decided that he’d rather have me with my hands glued to it rather than not having me =) .. and I love him for it.

My boyfriend plays video games all the time, but he also makes separate time for me. Video games are what he loves and I would never ask him to choose me or his x-box. That’s just selfish. I think it’s cute when he plays. If you make time for your significant other, then there’s no reason why they should make a big deal over you playing. I mean at least you know they’re not out doing things you wouldn’t like

Look im a gyal in tha same position wif my boyfriend! He eitha works or plays his xbox with his friends! I mean i realy don’t mind him playing it but its jus the fact that i never see him unless he finishes at his friends house then he comes to mine at like 4am! This does not amuse me! It is gettin me proper down so i think he should talk 2 her and explain that guys like to play tht xbox but he wil make time for her aswel!
I wish my boyfriend would make time for me!
