Well XBL is the best online gaming service I've ever seen. I've used PSN Nintendo Wifi and Steam and none of them match the quality of XBL. I think the least MS should do is lower the yearly price.

ok i got some more questions.

1. does the 360 get hot, fast? and do i need to buy a cooler for it? and also i read some reviews on the ebgames site and they are saying that the coolers and some other accessories CAUSE the rings of death, is that true and what is the best cooler out there for the price?

2. the 20gig hard drive is that alot of memory to make maps, and videos on halo 3? and do i really need the 120 gig hard drive?

3. do i need one of those wireless network adapters if the router is close to my system?

4. is it good to get a memory unit to save my games and stuff on to save space on my hard drive?

and thats all for now.

Spire88

1. OK heres the deal: a majority of the halo 360 console have the new 65-NM chipset. what does that mean? The CPU runs cooler and quiter than launch consoles and a like. Whatever you do DO NOT BUY THE INTERCOOLERS most of the time, they mean trouble.

2 You only need the 120GB of your gonna download A lot of HD Videos such as movies 20GB is totally fine if your gonna store any game data and demos and arcade gaem.

3 Nope 360 comes with internet wires so if your router is close to your 360 and TV just use the internet wire that comes with it to plug it in,.

4 You have a hard drive and thats what it is for. Storing any kind of data. In fact the hard drive is 10x better tham a mem card. Only use a mem. card to transfer you data on your hard drive to another 360

Glad i could help :)

Macs are over priced and incompatible. Dont tell me that I can run Windows. Well guess what? My can can run Windows too :). And why would i want my PC to run OSX, i dont. Dont tell b/c of iLife b/c the Windows live apps are better and free tools. And the fact that you have to run out and buy a copy of windows for mac is crap. PC's come with Windows for free, do macs?

The wii badly needs online demos. Its an important nex-gen feature that wii-owners are missing out on. The problem is that the wii doesn't have a hard drive so it would be impossible for the wii to get lengthy and detailed demos like xbl and psn demos. Why go to blockbuster and pay to get a feel for of a game instead of downloading a free demo from you couch thats gives you a good taste of what the game is like?

No. Not unless MS has another company make the hardware. Plus they would already be so behind the DS and PSP, that it would be tough for them to make a huge dent in the market IMO. Do you want another Zune??msjr78

M$ is clearly waiting for a DS 2 and PSP 2 and they'll come out with a Xbox portable. And the Zune is not designed to compete with hanheld gaming systems, it designed to be a ipod alternative.
