I just got one on the 18th, and I really don't think their as good as their hyped up to be. It is still an excellent machine, the best out, but I really wouldn't suggest getting stressed that you don't have one. The Xbox live features are pretty cool, but the setup for it takes forever. I would also highly suggest calling this number if you get lost: 1800 - 4MY - XBOX. Very helpful people, except for the ones that can't speak english.

@Tankster,

Lol!

I'v heared all the old XBL Arcade games are on the 360, meaning this includes TT. Is this true?

Ha ha I got a 360 day came out but have to wait 2 more days and1 got xbl360 gamer tags?

Bomber -

Pretty sure it is true

I would be surprised if the old arcade games are in the new arcade.

Eep, Just checked

Think Tanks is in fact not in the new 360. Not so sure about the others.

If you want ThinkTanks on the 360.. Call microsoft and demand it.. If they get enough demand. They will want it.. Convince your friends to purchase it on xbox live arcade for the original xbox while you are at it (after you have purchased yoru own ten copies).

^Will that get us our upgrade any faster?? I think not. :(

Hey Tankster, had any problems with disc scratching yet? I heard old Gatesy is getting mad about that 'lil problem. That and the PS3 is twice as fast. And the fact that tray loaders tend to fail after about a year (happened to me on my original PS2 and my friend on his original XBOX, both under 2 years old)!

Yes, the 360 is getting some major errors. If these errors get out of hand, they will be having a recall to take back the 360's and fix'em all. I have gotten a few erros but none for disk scratching. If the PS3 is really going to be twice as fast, I'd keep my eyes open for it.

My 360 is fine except I got a dodgy headset with it well thats nothign wrong with the whole system I connected my pc with my 360 and looked on real arcade not much available to look at
anyways im on my 1 month free gold w/ Kroda 29 Kroda + my b-day date 29 :)

Calll of duty rocks
so does that perfect dark zero im a bit dissapointed with kameo and I havent eve loaded king kong up yet

Hey Tankster, don't know if you're a Halo fan, but theres a rumor that 3 comes out Feburary 9th, as Bill Gates is quoted as saying that Halo 3 will be there to counter the PS3's release. Don't know if it's true or not, as most of the stuff I look up says June, and Gates has let stuff slip that wasn't true before. Still, pretty exciting stuff, huh? XD

Woah! That's smart. No way PS3 would have as many customers if Halo came out during the same time. The new Halo better be good, they've had two years to work on it now :'(. Thanks for the info, moses. I'll bet Bill is actually telling the truth for once.

Lol I knew that ages ago thats why the 360 has made sony r.i.p in console market since it was realesed

Its going to be good, but I wouldn't go so far as saying its going to kill the PS3; it is most likely going to be the final game in the series. With the movie coming out 2007 (which is supposed to be the end of the story), Bungie is going to have to work harder than ever to get a parrallel-storyline game out if they are going to try. Halo 3 isn't so much a death blow to Sony as it is the last thing Microsoft has up its sleeve to save itself...
