I just purchased a Xbox 360. It took me awhile to actually make up my mind. I ran through several situations where I saw a Wii, and it was available. But I have remained skeptical of the games. I know Metroid Prime, and Twilight Princess are two great titles. The thing is, I couldn't bring myself to buy the console just yet since I wasn't to sure about the library. Now the Playstation 3 was heavily considered simply because of Final Fantasy XIII and Metal Gear Solid 4. The problem was that those games aren't released yet. Warhawk was hard to turn away from as well. But since EA's Skate is one of the biggest games for me this September(and not Halo 3) it influenced my decision to get the Xbox 360. Even though the game is multi-platform IGN.com have reassured me that the Xbox 360 version is the one to get.

I spent about $390 on the system with a 10% discount on the entire sale. My purchase was a Xbox 360 Premium System, a Charge and Play Kit, and a 1 year warranty. I still believe that the RROD does exist and I don't trust Microsoft's 3 year warranty. I've heard people waiting for weeks just to get their console back from the company. And because of all this I don't appreciate the failure rate of the system. But at the sametime I like what the Xbox 360 has to offer. I'm still a big PC gamer as well, and because I am apart of the Final Fantasy Experience Union the Playstation 3 will definitely be around the corner. But at the moment I've been enjoying Bioshock, and Xbox Live.
