I said long ago that i'd wait to see what both next gen consoles (360 + PS3) were like before i bought any. After playing on the two of them, i've made my decision. The Xbox 360.

Need some help on when to buy it though. I hear there is this 'thing' coming out at the end of September, that'll stop the annoying Hardware failures and things. Its probably around the best date to buy one, with the Fifas, Pro Evo's etc coming out in Octobertime.

Another problem is, how much should i go around getting one for? (obviously want the Premium) I'm in no lack of money, but i really don't want to pay over the odds for it.

Another question. How well is the live system on it? I mean could you stay on it pretty much all day? (social life right out the window when i get one :D)

Thanks, hope you can help :)
