Post your gamertags here so that we might play an Xbox360 game sometime. Dawgas grapehead: Jcw87: Jessiah: RampantAndroid: Slice:
Realize, I doubt simon even has a 360, let alone knows what the NXE is. The blade system was lacking...I rather like the NXE...and netflix is always a bonus.
I like the NXE. It's pretty slick, but it doesn't fix some of the bigger problems the 360 has. Like how people have to host there own servers and the red light of doom or death whatever its called. If anyone wants to get on some world at war get at me!
The RROD is a hardware issue...and a firmware update won't help. Newer consoles should help alleviate the problem... COD WaW is crap if you ask me (I have it on PC) - its sounds are shit, its textures inferior, gameplay is the same as, or worse than COD4...guns feel wimpy...dogs are annoying as hell...more tolerable than a damn chopper, I suppose.

We have TWO 360s in my house. Mind you I've used them for probably less than 10 hours and neither have live.....
hmm, How many of u already got three red lights? I hate the Xbox, its too expensive! on the first look its cheep(179€, 1€ = 10 American rubels), but u have to pay for the online gaming wich costs mothly about 7€ and for the equipment to go online, like the wlan module, headset and the chatpad. I prefere the playstation 3, because it has got a wlan card onboard and u can use ure usb-keyboard and usb headset to chat with other guys. online gaming is also for free and it has got a blue ray drive. btw, my xbox nick ist h0t_butt0n.
get a not arcade bundle to be awesome, also, you do not need a keyboard of any kind also I'm so fucking awesome, my gamertag is Dawgas
PSN costs money...Sony being the idiots they are, charge developers/content providers though, not the user. Thus, every GB downloaded on PSN costs the company that made it money. PER GB. So demos suddenly become costly - yet ANOTHER reason for developers to avoid the PS3 - the fact that the PS3 is nearly impossibly to write code for being another massive deterrent. I hope Sony totally sinks the PS3 ship, and Sony starts to hemorrage money...oh wait, they ARE already, from BluRay and the PS3. They laid of 15k employees....and still lose money from BluRay.
So what developers got money (except for the little indy ones) . It just means that there will be less demos on PSN (Not that there are alot... unless you got a Japanese account). Besides for demos & free content they only get taxed for like the first 60 days. As the the other stuff I heard the fee is only a couple of cents per download.
My Xbox has not red-ringed yet. Since this is one of the newer models that doesn't get as hot, I doubt it will ever red ring (unless someone does something stupid to it of course.) Games make or break the system, and, as RampantAndroid pointed out, Sony isn't exactly helping in that department. Also, I hear that Xbox Live is a lot better than PSN. I think the Wii is being left out of these console war "discussions" way too often. The main reason that the Wii is better than the Xbox360 and the PS3, is because you are not going to find the next Mario, Zelda, or Metroid game on an Xbox or a Playstation :p.
