On my second now....
First one had overheating problems and sent it to a repair facility in Texas. They sent me a new one with an EXTRA HDD because I sent my with it. So I had 2 HDD's
Second one came and they gave me a complimentary 2 year service contract for switching my Live account to 360 since I've had live since day 1. No problems yet and thoroughly enjoying Oblivion ATM.

Don't have one, Don't want one. I was not a big fan of the games on the Xbox (mainly FPS's) and I'm not a fan of online play so buying a Xbox 360 would be a big waste of cash on my part. I have 9 different console's hooked up right now so I think I'm good on the whole console front. I even own some dupes incase one of my consoles breaks on me I won't have to go out and buy a new one.
Hello. You have 9 consoles? I hope their the ones that cant be emulated. You must be collecting them. I had all the consoles from atari all the way up2 today, but i only use the emulators to play my games. The PC/Xbox can emulate Most of the consoles anyway. Takes up less space & can do things the orignals can't.
I love playing my X360. Oblivion is not an online multiplayer game. You think all x360 games are going to be fps? Most games can be played online, offline, system-link, co-op, etc... If you don't want to play online then don't, but you do spend a lot of time online with your computer. So are you going to get a PS3? if yes, then are you going to play online? if yes, then you just made a false statement. If not . Have fun playing all by yourself.

First one had lock up issues with the red ring of light
Second one, same thing.
Third one works fine. Lovin Oblivion. I do have to compliment MS on how quick a turn around there is on exchanging my faulty systems. The whole process only took about a week and a half to get my good system. Only bad thing was that one of reps told me to format my HDD when it wasn't necessary. Good thing that was before Oblivion came out.

Some of the consoles I own can be emulated but the emu is just not the same as the console itself. Room is not an issue with me and yes I like to collect games and consoles. I know Oblivion is not online and I'm aware that not all online games are FPS. I'm also aware that I can play Oblivion on my PC so why waste $400 USD on a Xbox 360 for one game, that is a waste of cash. No, I'm not getting a Playstation 3 either so it's not that I'm hating on the Xbox 360. I've played my friend's Xbox 360 and I just was not impressed with it. I just don't care for modern gaming anymore as it's all about graphics and online play. Gaming use to be gamers making games for gamers but now it's all about CEO's making their pockets as fat as possible. Games themselves are just not as good as they use to be, IMO. So I'm done with modern gaming as I just don't enjoy most of the modern games.

I totally disagree with you on that. Yes games are big business but games nowadays are sooo much better than they were say 10 years ago. I only recently discovered Xbox Live for games like Halo 2, Ghost Recon 2, Burnout 3, etc, etc and my mind was and still is totally blown away by it!. Its just so much fun and too addictive!.

While im having a blast on Burnout Revenge (which totally KICKS the Xbox versions ass btw, you can actually SEE the oncoming traffic in time to dodge it now its in 720p) you guys can moan about how its not worth the price.
If they ever sort out the backwards compatibility then the 360 will be even better as playing Xbox games at 720p gives them a whole new lease of life. MUCH better than the PS2 improvements for PS1 games (though considering Xbox games have to be recompiled then no surprise).

glad you're enjoying it so much. the 360 version is much better but int he end it's the same game. i bought the 360 version and it was much easier than the xbox one. every time i played a level i'd get gold in one or two tries. I wish they'd remake burnout 3. I enjoyed it more since the levels were more out there revenge just feels more industrial and traffic checking just makes the game less challenging in my opinion. but it's worth buying it again though. Well i reserved my x360 around march 2005. Due to low shipments people were going to get calls to pick them up. They didnt' have enough so I didn't get a call. I called them to see where I was on that list. I was the next person on the list. I was shocked and I expected mine would arrive in no more than a week or so. since they only need to get like 1 and i get it. but yea gamestop started being gay and recieved the systems but sold them online instead of shipping them out to stores. They told me i should at least get it before christmas. december 24th I'm awakened by a call saying my x360 came it. and I laughed, because they were right. It arrived before christmas. Got pd0 didn't like so I was dissapointed got doa 4 beat it. then put the 360 away. brought it back out for G.R.A.W and revenge and might get rumble roses now. so I don't know. I dont' play my 360 much, sure I can play it online and play other people, but i'm not into all that online playing. That's why I'm not into the system so much i suppose since it mainly focuses on everything being online. I played revenge online a few times, once me and some other people were facing some people from france, and they kept dissing us, and we started to diss them back. they kept saying stupid americans etc etc, and yet they're using a product created by americans. after that I really didn't want to play online anymore. cuz ridiculous stuff like that goes on and it just takes the fun out of the game.

Disagree, I don't care as you have a right to your own opinion. Since I'm not a fan of online play or care about pretty graphics modern gaming is just not for me. Modern gaming is all about money, the games cost more then most of the cartridge games from back in the day that actually had a circuit board in them. You got all the nice fees for playing online and downloading maps which is just stupid (no I'm not poor, just don't think I should have to pay to play with idiots or pay for maps that should have been in the game in the first place). I'm no longer paying to play online with rude people, cheating lamers, or getting cussed out by some timmie (someone under the age of 18), that is just not my idea of fun. Modern gaming is just a cookie cutter industry and that is just boring. Games from back in the day were about gameplay, fun factor, and innovation (granted there were not as many games out back then so doing something new was not that hard) which is what I look for in a game.
You mentioned Halo 2, well I feel that Halo 2 is one of the worse FPS's ever made. I traded my Halo 2 for 4 NES games a couple weeks ago. The more I played Halo 2 the more I hated it as there is no skill needed to win in Halo 2, just dumb luck. Plus there is way too many morons online in that game.
I wasn't having a dig at you bud, just saying what I thought. But live doesn't cost very much considering what you get for your money + most games come with a free Live trail so you dont really need to pay for extra downloadable content etc. Yeah you do get a lot of dicks online but once you play a few ppl and get a friends list going it becomes much less of an issue. As for your comment "I feel that Halo 2 is one of the worse FPS's ever made" I dont see how but yeah that is just your opinion I suppose.
Gaming has always been about making money. Its not like they made the first games consoles and sold them to the public just for fun is it?. Its just nowadays its a much bigger and more streamlined business.

Viva la Revolution! This, I feel, will be the only next gen system that will stand out as a gaming console, just like the good old days.
It seems like we've come full-circle. Prior to consoles, there were PC's marketed toward gamers withe the C64 and Apple 2 and so on. In the middle of the curve PC's and consoles offered very unique experiences, mutually exclusive of one another. Now in the seeming denoument, consoles and PC's are intersecting once more with the 360 and PS3. If the ingenuity of Nintendo doesn't hold, I fear a gaming apocolypse similar to 20 years ago.
Just my thoughts.

It was mine along with PGR3 and Burnout Revenge. I play it every day and LOVE it. My wife thinks I am nuts but she is addicted to pogo.com and spends an equal amount of time with that.

I preordered before christmas and had PD0 from then sitting around at home.
Got it at the midnight launch and instantly hated PD0 so I sold it for $50 and got an extra wireless controler instead.
Up until launch I was collecting all kinds of discount vouchers and store magazines so I'd get the best deal out there. Very funny considering I'm in real estate and $ is not a problems. Guess I was really looking forward to the new rig.
I play for many hours every day and have got almost every Australian release game. We are so lucky here because we have Ghost Recon 3 and Oblivion as launch titles !
I hated PGR 3 (cabon copy of the old game) and the sports games because they are LAZY programming and will all be replaced within a few months with this years titles.
Example : Fifa .... we get the launch one in a few days but 25 days later the next Fifa game comes out. What the heck ? How stupid does EA think we are ?
I am a fan of Fight Night 3 but that's only because I've never played that series before.
For all you retro gamers out there I only have one thing to say "Xbox Live Arcade" .... you can play all the games for free !
I love the whole Live thing ! So much so that I won't be moding my x360. Why on earth would you want to wait till the x360 can be modded ? The whole point of the console is to play on Live (which no mod should mess with) ... If you want to do other stuff just get a laptop or something.
The old xbox was crap until you modded it ... its the only reason I bought one : but MS has really listened to us and has created a machine that caters to our needs.
Finaly it's great that the acheivments are cool ! I mean you can just look at what your friends are doing "hey look at Mark he's ranked as a murderer in Oblivion ! wow"
Anyway if you don't plan on buying one then don't even think about testing the machine or you WILL BE HOOKED ! lol

hour waiting, there were enough people in line to account for all the consoles the store had so they passed out
tickets and let us go home until midnight, picked premium system up with PGR3 and PD0 with the intention of keeping it and was not blown away so I sold it on ebay that day for BIG money. A few months later at the
same wallmart they had a few cores in stock, and I decided to pick one up, I rarely play it though, as I just
have not been playing games much recently.

I just bought one because I dont think a price drop of $150AUD (my estimate) is worth waiting for.
I got my 360 today. Love the new controller but I only have Blazing angels right now (picked it up for $55) about $40USD which is a hell of alot better than paying $120AUD max in stores.
I would have been so furious if I were in america waiting all that time only to come home to a faulty console.
WTF HAPPENED WITH DIVX/XVID SUPPORT DIDNT MS GET THE MEMO?????? I WANT DIVX/XVID SUPPORT
I thought that was a major + for the original xbox WTF didnt thwy add it to the 360?? just a couple of codecs and your set.

Not only do i own one but it does eveything my old modded xbox used to do, of course except for play copied games/
This makes no sense. Besides some pictures and streaming media (no DivX/Xvid support out of box), the 360 can't do even a fraction of what an original modded xbox can do (XBMC, linux, other homebrew, etc). The 360 benefits are next-gen games and HD - that's it. Oh, and it does look nicer.
I'm in the "not in the next 12 months" category (of course, depending on when H3 is released or the 360 becomes unlocked for homebrew, that could change).

I really want a 360 but at the moment they're way over priced. The main reason I want one is so I can play G.R.A.W. on live!!. But to get a premium package with that game is probably going to cost me about £300!!. I cant justify paying that for a console i'll only be playing (for now anyway) one game on. Also I already have 2 modded original xboxs that do everything the 360 does + a hellava lot more
. I think i'll wait untill the end of the year when MS drop the price waaaayyy down to piss Sony off and pick one up then. For now I suppose I'm happy playing Summit Strike on live and the awsome XBMC for all my media needs!.I totally disagree with you on that. Yes games are big business but games nowadays are sooo much better than they were say 10 years ago. I only recently discovered Xbox Live for games like Halo 2, Ghost Recon 2, Burnout 3, etc, etc and my mind was and still is totally blown away by it!. Its just so much fun and too addictive!.
I read that you want to play GRAW on live. I have played GRAW on live and really hated it. I played it for like 2 weeks and i never really liked the fact it is who sees who first. It is way to easy to kill people. I know it is a tactical game and is supposed to be as realistic as possible but if you try to hide and be sneeky the other team eventually kills you then they come spawn camp. It is not as bad if you play last man standing though. Sorry that this is kind of off topic with the poll, but i extreamly disliked this game while playing on live.
