I recently read in an XBOX 360 magazine that they considered the XBOX 360 to be in its "Autumn Years" so this got me thinking "I wonder how long the 360 has left?" I think perhaps around 2-3 years at the most.

Any thoughts?

I Recently finished the excellent Prince of Persia and would love to know if you can get hold of the soundtrack anywhere? The music was amazing and for me was the icing on the cake.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

I too will wait until Modern Warfare is released to see which one to get.

I am relatively new to posting, so I apologise if this has been discussed before.

Personally I was disappointed with GTA IV, this hasn't quashed my hope that GTA V will have the things that GTA IV missed like being fun to play.

If anyone has any thoughts on what they would like to see in Rockstars next outing, please add to the post!

I can wait until Redemption is out to compare the both.

If Juarez turns out to be the better game, by the time Redemption is released Juarez should be cheaper.

If Redemption turns out to be better then I won't have wasted my time buying Juarez.

Before buying my 360 I was PC gamer for 15+ years. One of best series of "games" I ever played was the MS Flight Sim franchise. As the 360 is from the MS stable, I was wondering why MS Flight Sim has never been released on the 360? Graphically it would be awesome. MS would probably have to release a Force Feedback Joystick, but that could be put together in a bundle like Guitar Hero with the guitar.

I understand that MS has closed its Flight Simulation department due to the recession, so perhaps this is all a mute point, but would be interested in anyone elses opinion on the matter!

Gold is most certainly worth it, you won't regret it. I subscribed to gold earlier this month and it completely changed the way I viewed my XBOX.

What makes them so crap?

I mean why is it that pretty much any game linked to a movie is never any good? Superman, Transformers, Wolverine, Terminator Salvation to name but a few all very successful decent movie franchises have failed to generate a decent game. I haven't played Superman, Transformers or Term Salv, but I played the Wolverine demo on XBOX live. Very bloody and it was clear to see that the gameplay could become repetitive quickly.

My two pennies worth is that the studios that are tasked to produce these games are under tremendous pressure to get the game out just before on at the same time as the movie. Game production as we all know can be a very lengthy process and personally I would prefer the game to come out a little later than the film if it will make this game better. Movie - July, Game - July (Game Crap), Game - Oct (Game Excellent) who would moan waiting an extra few months if the game ultimately becomes a better product? Also I think that in doing this you will extend the longevity of the interest in that movie. Maybe when the game is released on blu-ray/DVD, that is when the game should be released? Just a idea.

Any thoughts?
