I got a 360 premium with two controllers, Burnout revenge, PGR3, Cameo, Ninja Gaiden, Lostplanet, DOAU and DOA4.. (also a VGA cable) and um.. its much better then i thought.. graphics are superb.. demo download is really great.. and my games pwn..(dunno which to play first) on the downside the console does not seem to drive attention of other people like the wii does. Friends visiting me get amazed by..it but it did not last that long... while the Wii is a whole different story.. In the case of Wii boxing... Everybody agreed that FN3 looked much better on the 360.. but even they were hooked, it only took 2 hours then they lost interest on the shiny graphics.. while they played at least 6 hours of wii sports on one session... which was absolutely amazing.. (i wanted to show them monkeyball and wario ware but they just wanted to play boxing over and over again) and another problem is that its damn loud and gets really really hot.. so im kinda worried it might break.. in conclusion.. im satisfied with my purchase.. especially because i got it for a cheap price and the library seems to be really good with Wii60 i have the access to games like Sonic Wii, SSX Blur, Super Paper Mario, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, GTA4, Manhunt 2, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Trusty Bell, Infinite DIscovery, Fire Emblem and Halo 3... absolutely amazing for one year..

What? You didn't get Dead Rising or LOTR BFME? Or GRAW? Or FEAR? Well, that's okay you can always pick em up later. Congrats on joining the 360 family. I was a skeptic once too...then I got one myself. You'll have loads of fun.

Can't forget I forgot GEARS lol. Plus Viva Pinata, Rockstar Table Tennis, Oblivion...well I missed alot. But hey don't knock LOTR if you've never tried it. The last RTS I played before LOTR was Age of Empires and trust me it doesn't miss a beat on 360. Multiplayer battles with teams on live with LOTR is a blast.

Your jokeing? I know my friends are a little more gamer than most but we could play FNR3 for way longer than Wii sport. Don't get me wrong sport is fun and all but FNR3 has alot of depth to it.

they were no nongamers.. thats for sure.. heavy PC users (and one got a PS2 recently..) actually

and there is a lot of depth in wii boxing if you play versus.. since there are no punches and evasion moves or blocking moves that are preset.. its all about your movement... and thats what makes it so great

How do you like Ninja Gaiden? That game is hard as hell, but the combat system is incredable. I recently beat it, a proud moment.

It was not crap. Just because you dont have the brain power to play an RTS on a controller doesnt make it crap.

Well Xbox is not the kind of console you would buy just to get your friends over and enjoy it all together, that's what the Wii is best in. And if you're worried about it getting hot. Make sure it's on a place where it can cool down, don't put it inside anything because after a while it's allways gets real hot and I don't think that's good for any console.

Agreed. Don't put your 360 inside of anything. Leave it out in the free air (don't put it on the carpet either). Also make sure the ghost trap/ power brick has enough room to breathe. Looks like you did Wii60, congrats. I'm going to be doing the same once SSBB comes out...

Gears of War and Rainbow six Vegas should have been the first two purchases. I would still like to welcome you to the XBOX family though :D

Ah you lean to the side. We where impresessed with the depth in Wii boxing to be honest but in the end disapointed with the lack luster motion sensing. Now to play well we all use flicks of the rist and sometimes the elbow but rairly full fly punches.

The wii certainly has more appeal with the general audience.  I've had tons of people that were never into gaming asking me about it.  It's nice to see that kind of excitement about gaming.
