Xbox 360 games?

[FYB]

I've owned every system mentioned in this thread and never had one fail other than through stupidity on the part of the people using them.  Squid just gave away his PS2 and doesn't want 3.  So I'm getting a slimbox for 'Christmas' meaning when I can afford it and I'm bound to a promise I made him to learn Halo so I can play online with him. 

Halo players PLEASE tell me it's somewhat easier than AH to play.  I really don't want to put a controller through the wall.

I never said Xbox wasn't as fun as can be! 

I'd wait on that SlimBox if i was you, they're still shipping in the first batch and so far they're having "technical" difficulties, so far red dot of death and the power supply popping like you put popcorn in the microwave, wait a bit longer.

Personally, I feel that PlayStation3 IS a bit more reliable, but not so much as to dismiss getting an Xbox 360.

Hmmm...PS3 has a failure rate of less than 1%.  The Xbox 360 (depending on which of the many revisions) has a failure rate of 42% (pre-slim 360) to 16%(slim), a wise minded consumer would be smarter going with the more reliable hardware.

In any event, whatever console to get is personal preference.  I have an a couple of Xbox 360s (one dead (RROD) and other one a new slim) in addition to a PS3 though I do find myself playing the PS3 a lot more often than the 360.  I only got the 360 to play some of the exclusive games to that console.

ack-ack

Oh yeah you did remind me, you guys also have to pay monthly payments

I do not pay monthly, I bought a life time subscription.  It is a small cost for a truly great gaming community that is very well policed for cheaters.

Oh trust me I'm not running to Gamestop today.  I've been fortunate enough to observe what happens when first generation systems and software get run out (my dad is HORRIBLE about this Vista, bought it the day it came out even when I TOLD him 'Skuzzy said NO' and considered smacking him on the nose with a rolled up newspaper). 

Probably be in the Nov / Dec time frame.

I'd give it more like Dec/Jan.
