Re: OT: Thinking About Buying An XBox360
Get a Wii, if your a real hardcore gamer your using a computer for that already. Spent many a hour at a lan party last weekend playing the Wii and it is well worth it.

Re: OT: Thinking About Buying An XBox360
If I had to buy any console right now, it would be a Wii from Nintendo...

Re: OT: Thinking About Buying An XBox360
I ordered a 360 with Gears as a bundle but the carrier lost it. In the meantime all I heard about were crashing games and that it sounds like a helicopter taking off when the DVD gets up to speed. So I counted my blessings and cancelled my order. Maybe look at it in the new year if there's a significant price drop.
OTOH my Wii should be here tomorrow or Monday. Hopefully...
You have to ask yourself what you actually want it for though. Buy whichever based on the games you want to play. Or more likely on the games your kids want to play. (And remember both the Wii channels and Xbox Live (and probably Sony's live service but they can go eff themselves. Dicks to the gaming community I say!!!) should give you a steady stream of demos to play.)

Re: OT: Thinking About Buying An XBox360
I bought a 360. Couldn't afford a new computer and I was going through game withdrawls. It was only $400. I don't have the HDTV setup and it sill looks great on a normal resolution set. I don't play online, but that doesn't bother me at all. There isn't too many kiddie games for the 360 yet. Maybe for your nieces and nephews you should buy a ps2. But for you a 360 is great. I bought great RPG call Oblivion and currently use the 360 as my DVD player.

Re: OT: Thinking About Buying An XBox360
All I've ever had in the way of consoles, was the original Nintendo (circa 1987 ). It was awesome.
That said, I think you should invest that money instead in upgrading your PC, computer games are usually far superior than their truncated console versions. I have no plans whatsoever to buy any console, I'll stick with my computer.

Re: OT: Thinking About Buying An XBox360
Atrocities,
Definitely get the Xbox360. My kids have had it since last Christmas and it's great, especially for first person shooters. Make sure you have an HDTV to get the full effect. Also the online experience is second to none.
By the way it's about $399.
