just now dealing with the 360 is a pretty dam good product... except the reliabilty factor... don't like that part.
looking at the 2 games not on it,its not worth it, if it was not an easy break oven it might be worth fooling with, but don't worry the WII and PS3 are not worth the cost yet either :P.
I wish the 360 would get a BR drive and a overhaul and not change price,I'd pick up an elite then....
As long as microsoft fixes the RROD consoles, I think they are OK. Note i dont own one of the older consoles so I havenot had any RROD though... Regardless people are going to continue to buy the Xbox360 b/c of the best lineup of games currently and knowing microsoft will own up to their warranty with defective consoles. But honestly, do we do anything different in everyday society. I mean when we buy a vehicle not everyone buys the most reliable vehicles. Most of the time we buy what we like and knowing it has a warranty is our security blanket regardless of its reputation. If you own a ford, GMC, Mazda, Chevrolet, you dont have a the best reliability in quality. Lexus has been number one for something like 8 years in a row. Honda and toyota are suppose to be very well built also. But my point is this, people buy dodge and chrysler (Some of the worst quality products made)but they offer a warranty so people feel comfortable with them. Dodge has been plagued with engine and powertrain problems for years and evedently they couldnot fix them and give reliability in those areas like Honda etc.. but they did have enough sense to finally offer a lifetime powertrain warranty and try to give people some sense that we have your back. Give Microsoft some credit, they do fix the consoles and of course they are working on making the consoles more reliable everyday. Note that those consoles only cost a few hundred bucks but those unreliable vehicles will cost you a lot more out of pocket and some headaches yet we still buy them b/c it is what we like. My question to those that constantly complain about the RROD is did you buy the most reliable quality brand lexus or did you buy what appealed to you when you were on that car lot???? Did everyone complain as much when Sony kept having issues with the lasers. I still have my lauch PS2 and a slim but most people eventually had problems with the laser. But you know what, most people bought the ps2 regardless b/c of the library of games. Dont know from my own experience but i have read that the xbox was the better consoles, hardware and reliabiity wise.

Ok..I going to get straight to the point on this constant comment...
NO ONE PLAYS PC GAMES. LOL straight up man. When people talk about videogames people dont even consider PC b/c it isnot a videogame console. When i say no one plays pc games all you have to do is look at the comparison in statistics when you look at game sales and you can validate that this is not just my opinion. It doesnot matter that PC may have better graphics, control, and be cheaper on the consumers pockets. The numbers say gamers prefer it on a videogaming console. So it doesnot matter what game xbox360 has that PS3 doesnot just b.c it is on PC. We are talking about WII, Xbox360, and PS3. Mass Effect,GOW,Bioshock etc.. are all exclusives to the xbox360 when we are talking in the regards to what actually sells, the VIDEOGAME CONSOLES.............
Also i have no proof but on the GOW2 comment about the game being short, LOL which it really was i was like man its over already, I have read it is 5 times bigger.
Oh almost forgot, Bioshock isnot exclusive anymore. The rumor has been confirmed that PS3 will be getting this great game. The storyline in video games really plays a big part today into the games overall success. Played it all the way through and beat it and i can tell you, it really plays like a legendary "Horror Novel". It is one of the best FPS i have ever played and you PS3 owners should check it out. If you are are a fan of resident evil, its like RE with a new twist. Here is a link so check out the reviews, the scores are some of the highest i had ever seen on any game until GTAIV was released.
