What game's worth playing now? Halo3 and Ninja Gaiden were all I really played on XBox.

Also, that really is Bill Gates in there since it was at a Best Buy in Redmond, WA...I guess he just has a huuuuge head (large brain)

Release this in two months:
Driving to the nearest Best Buy ~ $2 dollars in gas
Purchasing an xbox 360 without the hassle of waiting all night ~ $400 + tax and any games you may want
Telling the guy that bought it on release day and took the day off just to do that, and that you own the SAME unit with the same games and didn't do anything special except wait a few months ~ Priceless

let us know how it is. I am going to wait awhile before I get mine. Glad to see you didn't get robbed at gunpoint like this lady here in Atlanta did. She said the guy must have saw her buy the 360, and then followed her home and robbed her at gunpoint. All he wanted was the 360.

I got mine, am debating whether or not to sell it.
I got lucky, they had a raffle for tickets at costco, I was up against at least 150 other people.
They are selling for double on ebay right now. I can't decide between playing it now or selling for cash.

Anyone's Xbox 360 crash yet?

Jsgongwon, one of our forum members, reported that his newly bought Xbox 360 keeps crashing while playing Project Gotham Racing 3 in single player mode.
A quick look on our forums (more and more) seems to indicate he's not the only one. Several of our members seems to get crashing 360s. It doesn't seem to be related to a specific game, as we get reports of the Xbox 360 crashing with several games. And it's not all the same Error-number either (E79, E74, E64, real crashes, ...).
I quickly checked over at TeamXbox and they also have a large thread and poll about defective Xbox 360s.

I love it. PGR3 is awesome, simply the prettiest racing game ever. It's no GT4 in terms of depth, but it holds its own with fun factor and ease of pickup. Perfect dark is an awesome game also, it just looks gorgeous. I bought an hdtv for this system and oh my God what a difference. I saw the system on my lil bro's standard def and i was like this shit looks like a prettier x box. But when i got home and hooked it up, i was blown away at the difference.

PGR3 looks unreal on a big HDTV. A few times driving the NYC course I felt like I was actually there. Kameo is also very impressive so far in HDTV.
I also love the media capabilities. I have Media Connect set up so I can stream all of my mp3's from my PC to the 360 while playing the games. The blades are also very cool and make it almost like an easy to use PC.
I'm really happy with my purchase so far and I give MS many props for coming out with an outstanding system.
