i would not only abandon my xbox i would abandon all windows supported software in my home...slvrraven9

Done that already. I am a full Apple supporter. It would be very interesting if apple made a video game console. It probably would run faster, not get the RROD and have better advertisements like the computer. :P

The only concievable benefits to changing the brand name are... -To give the company a clean slate in Japan -To make the console sound more family friendly The former is too weak a reason though. The Japanese game market isn't as big as America or Europe where xbox is successful. A name change only in Japan might be a good idea but every where else, no. And the latter reason would be a big risk. The xbox is a big name now. I'm not sure sounding more friendly to mom is a good enough reason to alienate the core gamer demographic.vashkey

Japanese gamers are always going to stick with playstation. Sony is japanese if you didn't know that. Japanese gamers are most likely to buy a playstation then a xbox 360 mostly because it is made from sony.

No new console is coming out soon because microsoft can't find any technology to beat the xbox 360. The same thing goes for sony. I am not expecting to see any new consoles this year, but maybe next year if microsoft can find the technology to do it.

I am playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 right now. Send me a friend request I will be on all week.

As long as your friend hasn't open the xbox 360 the warranty is good for the RROD.

I popped in the ol' COD disc last night .

Funny thing is, you're all ripping on Treyarch, saying they are rubbish and all, but the majority of you haters will probably buy it regardless....

Oh and I Like Both Developers :)
