Games and Entertainment. It's a part of everyday life now. Xbox Live is sensational!
I have three Xbox's in the house. All can play recorded TV via the Windows 7 Media Center PC I have in my home office. It can also show pictures and play music.
Latest Xbox 360 with Kinect is great. No controller needed. Actually recognizes your voice and body movements. Makes Kinect game playing really fun and can be a good workout too. :)
Xbox Live is still the best thing about Xbox. From playing games online with your firends to watching movies to ESPN it's fantastic. This is going to be what everyone does on a daily basis.
One thing missing is a Bluray player. That's it!
Microsoft will always keep updating and making this console better so go ahead and jump right in. This console will be around for a very long time until the next major Xbox console comes.
