Should I get a XBOX360?
I have XBOX, infact I bought it when it first came out. I barely played the thing, and now its collecting dust. However when I bought it, I was in college, low on money, so maybe thats why I don't have many games for it, and haven't unboxed it since I have moved.
I visited my older brother in FL this past weekend and he has the XBOX 360. I was pretty hooked on PGR3, and I'm looking at the game lineup and incoming games, looks very promising. I was blown away at how fun it was. Now that I'm out of college and have a full time job, I have the money for it, and I think I would play it more, esp with HD support out of the box (I have a 32" HD LCDTV) I am seriously considering it. Plus I have $25 bucks off at BB so why not.
Any reason why I should wait or not get the XBOX 360 (besides PS3, which I don't see myself getting)? If I got it, it would be the Premium version.

Yes, you should get it. I've been debating getting one also, pretty much the same train of thought as you. I decided to get one.
If possible, get it at costco. Can't beat their return policy.

If you like the games you've already played and the upcoming ones, I'd say go for it. As you may or may not have seen, some people are experiencing freezing, but as with anything, it's probably not EVERY system. I played Fight Night on a 32" LCD, man, it was like watching boxing on tv.
I am a die hard Sony fan who has never even played the original XBox, but even I was thinking of picking one up. If you can get one, I'd say go for it

Its like having a BB service plan without actually buying one.
