It's the greatest gaming system to date. Does that make it a letdown? Hardly, how could it? Are you just trying to stir things up, or are you serious? This makes no sense. Get back to playing your PC bro, and stop asking silly questions.HilbillyRokstar

Stop bashing the pc also bro..Love my xbox you still dont need to bash the pc..Answere to tcs question is no..Great games have come out for the xbox that where entertaining for these five years..Gears,halo, Red dead, Alan wake, Mass effect, Batman. Nba 2k12, Oblivion, Skyrimm, those are the few on top of my head i can think of..

For me, the 360 started off with a bang, but is has recently gone down hill, rapidly. The whole Kinect thing and lack of QUALITY 1st party exclusives outside of Gears, Halo and Forza has become almost too much to bear. It had been one full year since i purchased a 360 game until Gears 3 and Forza 4. Those may be the last two 360 games i ever buy.

I wont miss out. As a multi platform owner, i have choices. Its just somehow i value my 360 less now because its is not supported with enough quality 1st party games. MS needs to bring back first party and new IP momentum like it did in the old xbox days with Crimson Skies, Mech Assault, Conker Bad Fur Days, etc.

At first I couldn't quite figure out what you were trying to say but then your profound logic twisted my thoughts and I completly agree.

Love love love my xbox360. Come home after a stressful day at work.... my husband plays guitar to mellow and I immerse myself in a little gaming. It's relaxing, and to me, a healthy way of de-stressing. :)

It's better than the original Xbox. None of my friends had it and the only good exclusive game on it was Conker:Live and Reloaded and maybe Crimson Skies HRTR. The 360 has a much improved 3rd Party support, most of my friends have it, and it has Alan Wake, Crackdown, Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts, And Kameo. There's also an absolute Fantastic Arcade library that I've had so much fun with this Gen. :D

The amount of exclusives compared to the PS3 is an enormous let down.

Might want to edit that as I believe bringing up the PS3 on this board is Mod Worthy.

No not at all, I thought that there could be nothing better than the og xbox and the 360 has exceeded every one of my expectations, something I cannot say about the ps3 or wii, and yes I have all three.

They're asking if the xbox 360 was a let down. Better to compare it to its competition to help justify its means.

To me it is. It started off strong then just nose dived to garbage. They release no exclusives and have Rare making crap for kinect instead of actual games. They charge for XBL when it should be free all tho it never will be because people pay etc.

I'm very satisfied with my 360.

You might want to try this in System Wars. It might get locked here.

NO! A great console with great games. Now I have the Xbox360 slim with Kinect on a hi-def TV, along with an Xbox360 original upstairs on a spare PC LCD widescreen monitor.

NO WAY! I've had tons of fun with my 360, and I've had quite a few systems in my day. It is one of the better consoles I've played, and its longevity has shown that many people appreciate what the 360 has brought to the table.

Not really, the only thing I expect out of my console is to play the games I like, so it's not a let down . . . It's not something that's ground-breaking either but it get's the job done . . .

I kinda beat around the bush from 2005-2010 and just borrowed friends 360s, or played games at their places. I had other consoles, and having all three major home consoles right now, I have played my 360 the most since I got it. I really should've bought it sooner.

Not for me I bought 4 Xbox 360's during the 7th generation. Only my 2005 launch model RROD, The second I sold for a Plane ticket Plus the 40 games i had with it, So I bought another Original model Xbox 360, Last of the Jasper models45mn Chip 2010-04-21 before the Original Xbox 360 models were discontinued, before Microsoft introduced the Xbox 360 S, (Slimline console)

So now I have 2 Xbox 360's An all white Arcade edition with a tiny 20GB HDD and an Xbox 360 S, 320GB HDDLimited edition Gears of War 3 console, With a headset and 2 Controllers and the pack in Game Gears of war 3.

So I have had 2 20GB HDD and 1 60GB HDD Xbox 360 Model 1 consoles (only 1 died of RROD), Sold the other 60giger. Now just have 2 Xbox 360 Model 1 & 2.

Plus have 35 Xbox 360 games, (75 X360 games purchasedthis generation) played an additional 26 with friends, game I do not own.

So the Xbox 360/Xbox 360S was not a let down. The opposite was true, The games rocked, I would have botheredbuying Xbox 360 and games if it wasn't worth it. The controller is the best, most comfortable, (thankfully the D-Pad has been improved) Plus the Xbox 360 is at about 56 Million consoles sold thus far. Much better than 24.5 million for the original Xbox. and despite launching with the RROD issue.

The reason the Xbox 360 was not a letdown for me is the games. Which is the most important aspect of a Console, The softs are more important than the machine.

Plus Xbox hasalways had the best consoleon-line multiplayer.

Not a let down for me and i dont think its nose dived to much with games in the past year great games have come out for it like Red Dead , Alan Wake, Deus ex that's just a few but everyone likes different things. As for paying for online it doesn't really faze me at all costs me 10 bucks a month it doesn't really make a difference to my living lol i dont even notice it come out of my bank and i make stuff all. As far as the dreaded RROD goes i had a 60 GB xbox 4 years ago that i had for bit over a year didnt die but i sold it when i needed money then about 2 and a half years ago i bought another 60 GB one is still running fine only problem as of late is if i dont leave a game in it sometimes it wont let me open my disc tray, which is kind of annoying lol.

No its been good. But I do think its overdue or at least due for retirement. Bring on the new system. Every time I go to my PC and back to my xbox I feel how dated it is.
