Xbox Live is the greatest online console experience as of yet.
-XBL to boast the XBLA with 62+ of your favorite downloadable games.
-Free downloadable demo's.
-Fantastic friend system.
-24 hour movie rental system.
-Download Music Videos.
-"Live Anywhere" for "Games for Windows" users.
-W/ the Wireless gaming adapter, connect semelessly between a Windows vista computer and your 360.
-Use your 360 as a DVR
-Photos and home movies from windows media center

Addicting achievement feature.
-Microsoft to do more achievement-for-prize contests, as done in the past.
-Achievement points challenge you to do new things, and add value to games.

7AAA games, and 50 AA games, including the gamespot GoTY Gears of War.
-Including3 more AAA hyped games coming this year.
-Xbox has multiple "platinum hits", unlike any of the other 2 new gen systems.
-Xbox 360 multiplats > Playstation3 multiplats, take Madden for example. The 360 and Wii versions run at 2x the FPS compared to the PS3 version. Concluded by gamespot... "We found that the Xbox 360 actually had better graphics in the majority of the games we compared." I quote gamespot again "Games on both systems looked great, but the Xbox 360 games had more polish. We found that the Xbox 360 edged out the PlayStation 3 with higher-resolution textures and better lighting."

Microsoft gives the consumer theOPTION of 3 different SKU's, and the recent price drop of all 3.
-Core to compete with Wii at only $269. And have themost highly praised/award winning controller.
-Pro to boast a 20 GB HDD now $349. And have themost highly praised/award winning controller.
-Elite to tout a whopping 120 GB HDD, black finish, now $449,and have themost highly praised/award winning controller.

The OPTION of buying peripherals such as the wifi adapter, HDDVD player (which just got a price drop), XBL, Faceplates, different colored controllers, game themed consoles, wireless headsets, and MUCH MUCH more.

THE CONSOLE----Microsoft just recently gave the consumers a 3 year total warranty, and refunded all money received due to the RRoD problem the 360 was/is experiencing.

-Microsoft extended warranty from 90 days, to1 year, to 3 years.
-65Mn, and 45Mn chipsets aredue from IBM,to reduce costs, and raise reliability for 360 Microsoft and the consumers.
-Compatibility with a little less than half of the original xbox games.

For the People confused on which console to get.

The games are why I bought it. I went for a year without Live and it was still good. To me, Live is just a bonus.

..because XBox360 is just frickin awesome!!!

I've been playing games since Atari, and the Xbox360 is in my opinion one of the best video game consoles ever. Quality of games, multimedia usages, downloadable content, XBL, the arcade.

Which cooler? if it is nyko, change it ASAP! Voids the warranty, and actually breaks the 360.

Dude, If u have ur 360 close to the modem, u can connect the 360 str8 to it .... u'd have to turn off the 360, disconnect ur computer and connect the 360 to the modem. after that, u have to reset teh modem to configure a new IP address being that it was connected to ur computer b4 :P ... after it resets, turn on ur 360 and there u go bro .... thats wut i had to do at first, i wasnt trying to spend 50 buck or more on a router ... i just finally got tired of connecting and reconnecting the computer and the reseting, but it IS a great alternative for the meantime
