I'm thinking of getting an xbox 360 since a lot of my friends play xbox a lot. So tell me, what are some cool features of xbox 360. Tell me if this is in wrong thread, thanks!
I love it :) I have both the PS3 and Xbox, but the Xbox is still my favorite. You have to pay $35-60 for yearly online play depending on where you get it, but that is the only downside. The interface is very slick, it has Netflix / facebook / etc. integration, ESPN soon too :) One thing I also love is that all games will upscale to 1080i / p. My TV won't do 720p, but setting the Xbox for 1080 never results in the game looking terrible. The controller is also very comfy!
The Xbox Live Arcade also has some very fun, relatively cheap games :D And EVERY disc game can be installed to the hard drive which usually improves load times slightly - not to mention being quieter than reading the disc.
One of my favorite features is that you can watch movies, listen to music or view photos off a usb. I use it to watch home videos off my Flip HD on my TV. Just plug and play. Also the windows media center media extender is pretty cool. I don't use this as much, but it's nice to be able to access the thousands of songs on my PC and play them through my entertainment center anytime I want without having to move hardware around. Netflix is a + too, especially for people who don't have cable TV.

Great controller. XBOX LIve: Play with friends and against opponents XBL parties and private chats: No need to be in the same game with friends, send them a chat at any time and you can talk to friends from all over playing whatever games Music player - Hook up Ipod or Zune and play through your TV or surround sound, like an iPod dock. DVD player Wireless stream music, movies, pictures to your 360. Achievements: Make progress and gain achievements for playing games. Avatar: Design your own unique avatar Netflix: Use 360 as a Netflix ready player. Zune Marketplace: Use the Zune marketplace to download and buy TV shows, music videos, movie/game trailers, and rent or buy movies. Set a background on your 360 with your own digital picture, from digital camera or many other ways. Much more

Also, you can play Last.fm and choose from a bunch of radio stations to listen to and play music. Watch ESPN and other live sporting events on ESPN TV right on the XBOX. Use twitter and facebook on XBOX. You can play music off your XBOX and on the TV when playing in a game too.
