Considering you can get a DVD player for like $30...why would you want to drop $200+ for one that may crap out on you? Buh buh Netflix...I seriously doubt someone buys an Xbox so they can watch their Netflix off of their TV, it'd be much more beneficial and efficient for them to just Netflix off their computer. So in short, no I do not know anyone who buys a 360 just for viewing things (though I'm not saying that it's impossible, just highly unlikely).
Kameo, but that might have something to do with that fact it was a launch title. Still, it's a great game that I think goes widely unnoticed. I wish they would make more adventure/platformers like Kameo for any of the systems.

Controls were a little wonky sometimes though, like when you go into Chilla's throw, the camera should turn to where you were facing and force Chilla to automatically turn, not turn to the way he's facing because it's usually in the other direction...don't get me started on swimming xD
Under-the-radar game for me...uh Bourne Conspiracy wasn't that bad, got repetitive though with the extremely long contextual fights on the hardest level. I don't know if Too Human is under-the-radar (because it was hyped to death), but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Put about 30 hours into it.
They are still not exclusives tho.. exclusive means only on that platform not 2.
Alan Wake will be published by Microsoft, so it is a Microsoft Exclusive.
Same can be said about MLB 09: The Show.... If it's on more than 2 platforms, it's not exclusive.
So no Alan Wake (PC/360), no Splinter Cell (PC/360), no Mass Effect (PC/360), no L4D (PC/360). Works both ways too, no MLB 09: The Show (PS3/PS2/PSP), no DC Universe (PS3/PC).
[QUOTE="CTUDude"]Price match at BestBuy to take it all down to like $220 before taxes...Paradigm09
How does it take it down to 220? Can you explain their pm? When you price match at Bestbuy, they take off 10% of the difference. So if Wal-Mart has something for $100 and Bestbuy has it for $300, the difference is $200. So they will take the price to match it with Wal-Mart at $100, then take off an additional 10%, or $20. The Arcade is normally $200, Wal-Mart has it for $150. The Starterpack is normally...uh?, Wal-Mart has it for $99. So the difference on the Arcade is $50, 10% is $5, the difference on the Startpack is 10% w/e. Sorry it wouldn't be $220, more like $235/$240. It's pretty early I wasn't thinking straight lol...
I forgot which PSP game it was but it had these girls on the cover with huge uhm...anyways they were pretty exposed, so theNA version had clothes covering it up and a person was blocking some of the cleavage.
OH GAWD WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN! =P
- Games such as Bioshock will now display 'Platinum Hits' while on dashboard in the game library
This sucks! Im OCD about my collection and I try my best to get the original boxart for my games. Now MS is stickin me with the platinum hits boxart on the virtual display? AHHHHHH.....I know, I have issues.
Man, I went out and picked up a non-platinum hits Bioshock and was so happy but now this, at least it's virtual and not physical. I'm the same way man, all my games have to be the same box. That's why I hate Halo, it's a black box (gotta find a green one..) and DMC4 cause I have collectors... I wish they packaged Collector Edition games like MGS4 or Resistance 2 where they gave you a nice box, but inside came with a regular game box. OCD OCD OCD...
Alright so after the day down of Live, the following are things players have noticed or seen a change in. Please post if there is anything else and I'll be sure to update!
UPDATES
