I didnt want to get a 360 right away either, but I had a deal I couldnt refuse. Man is it amazing. I would have to assume you haven't had some quality time with a 360 yet or you wouldnt be talking that softmodded bollocks. Sure it would be cool if we could hardmod (i dont care much for softymods) but the 360 is great and now my modded 320gig xbox 1 will sit unused for a loooong time (but never sold).
