Replying to Convince me to buy an x-box 360

So now that they are so cheap and im ultra bored with my ps2 im thinking about upgrading. Problem is i have a feeling they will be coming out with a new console in the next year or so. What are some games that you can spend a lot of time on without getting bored. The only games i could imagine wanting to get is maybe shaun white snowboarding, stoke, skate any of them, and ufc. I dont exactly plan on using live the only bonus i see to that is downloading free shit
