i see your point, but that is quite an extreme negative!

Positive:
Xbox Live
Games
Graphics

Negative:
Hardware Failure

the only negative is the hardware, but thats covered by MS with a 3 FREAKING year warranty, and most of hardware problems are gone if your buying the system now, and once they include the new chips, you dont have to worry about anything.

its the best system you can buy this gen, plain and simple. and the game line-up speaks for its self

good: best selection of games, beautiful graphics, great online, prosperous future of games line up

bad: alot of hardware failures BUT you get it fixed or replaced for FREE so thats not really bad

thanks for the info on what MS is doing to resolve the issue....but as far as sauing its the "best" of this gen....another topic that just may not be appropriate in this forum!

Sony's customer service with my PS3 was astounding! I received the box in about 8 business days. When Isent itbackon a Saturday, I got it back that Thursday! Well, it seems MS is taking steps to resolving the hardware issue. I guess I'm just a bit hesitant to get the 360 because its for the "north american gamer". I like the japanese style games more. I'm an RPG head. It Knights of The Old Republic 3 is anounced, I will buy it that day! Loved the first one!!!!

I conpletely agree. The new warranty cancels out any hardware issues.

Positives

Best online console

xbox live market place

xbox live

Great graphics

Large selection of games

Negatives

It needs a price drop cause its the oldest next gen console

t-bolt, how the hell do you have 200 running riots, that thing in your sig is fake:Paxes03

that's it 200, thats nothing i had at least a thousand of those

Highs:

- Head start = wider selection of quality next-gen games

- Gears of War, BioShock (I'm not a Halonut, but if you are than add that here)

- Live/Marketplace (very nice service)

- It really does double as a space heater in the winter time

- better message forums

Lows:

-Games are mostly shooter/sports biased (I actually don't mind but it does feel uncreative)

- Unreliable (I'm on 360 #4. So it hasn't been just a couple of weeks its more like over 2 months of down-time since I bought my launch console. And my 4thone doesn't even have the new upgrades so who knows how long it will last. Not only is that a long time...these breaks can come at bad times, like when GRAW/GRAW2/Saints Rowcame out.) I'm really hoping it makes it through this holiday season.

- My compensation for my troubles was Kameo and a 1-month Live card (and I guess you can include the warranty extension) Better than nothing...but weak.

- You have to pay to play over Live

- The Elite

- The cost of repairs probably prevents a price drop.
