| said by Caphead :another victory? what the.. oh wait is it still a victory when all your red lights come on at once? I feel Microsoft is doing an excellent job marketing (hype) the new NXE the same way Sony did with Blue-Ray. Not to mention it lives up to at least 90% of the hype if not more.
I think MS has a slight advantage over Sony since once you have Blue-Ray it will always be the same not really much to change for marketing (even though your movies will alwyas look beautiful). I know their #1 priority is getting that Home service up (if its not already).
Microsoft on the other hand has XBL which can be upgraded changed flipped renamed to always make it look new and feel new even though its an old service... This makes marketing almost as limitless as you can upgrade or add new features...
I will be honest I have had 2 XBOXs die on me but XBL is like crack (I have to take a hit at least a few times a week to make me feel good lol)... If this one dies I will get another one, may sound dumb or stupid, but that's how good it is....

| Re: Score another victory for the Xbox 360 ... said by pandora :said by Caphead :another victory? what the.. oh wait is it still a victory when all your red lights come on at once? It is a victory for Xbox 360 as described in my first post. As for the red lights, and possible noise from the DVD drive ... eventually one day we all hope Microsoft will resolve it once and for all. Though I won't have direct experience with the Xbox 360 until Christmas when we open ours. I'm ordering a bunch of Xbox 360 stuff and hope the console works well once it is plugged in. If you plan on playing online don't forget to save $50 for XBL Gold and $100 for a the wi-fi add-on. Unless you're happy with a ethernet cord running across your floor. Oh and that $50 only covers ONE profile. If everyone wants to have their own account you need to spend $50 PER PERSON. | |

You can get a year for $55 with a headset, chatpad, and Project Gotham 4 right now. You'd have to be a fool to pay more than 40 bucks for Live alone.

And I'm not sure why you consider the wireless adapter a necessity. Almost nobody uses that thing.

Oh and that $50 only covers ONE profile. If everyone wants to have their own account you need to spend $50 PER PERSON. I ordered a charge kit, and have wired ethernet in the game area, even our Wii uses wired ethernet. The years membership was about $39 and some change. I do not like paying an annual membership fee, however that seems to be how Microsoft has set it up.
You seem to get more for the money from the PS3 with respect to controllers and no online fees. At the same time, despite having a ridiculous failure rate, alleged vacuum cleaner noises when playing games, and other issues, there are many fans of the Xbox 360. In about a month, I hope to understand more about it.
I'm so concerned about Xbox 360 hardware issues, that instead of buying two consoles as was done with the Wii and PS3, my acquisition this year will be of just one. The Xbox 360 has been out for some time, and I'm wondering why it still seems to have significant issues.
Edit: Corrected approximate annual gold membership price

Who the hell runs cords across their floors? it's pretty damn easy to run cable through the house.
I don't understand your title "another victory for the 360" are you selling your 2 PS3's? if not I don't see how it's a victory for M$.
