The Xbox 360 - Rating: 5 out of 5

I had a chance to play Call of Duty 2 on the 360, and I was kind of dissapointed. Im still going to buy the premium 360 with all the cool features and things it comes with, but I can tell you now, I played it on a HD plasma TV, and I can honestly say, it really didn't look that much different from Call of Duty 1 on the normal xbox playing it on my REGULAR Toshiba TV. If you are a fan of Xbox and Xbox live, then you will deffinetely love it, but if you are low on money, and don't know if its worth it, either wait for a price drop or wait for PS3. And deffinetly get the premium, as its a bargain,cause the core package is waste due to the fact that it don't even come with a harddrive! As for me, Im DEFFINETELY getting it first day, and as for Call of Duty 2, I don't think that game even pushed the graphics enough, as for me, I'm getting Ghost Recon 3 and Project Gotham 3, and the maybe the new NFS.

Being out near holidays, with a line up of launch titles that is the largest ever seen, an unbeatable hardware, the support of the old companies plus many more (especially japanese), the 360 can only be a huge success. Why saying that the price is too much? that's simply unbelievable how low it is!!! (by the way the ps3 will probably cost much more...) why saying that companies are not supporting? there are all the best ones plus many more than on the first xbox!!! Why saying that the games cost more? the price is exactly the same!!!
I don't understand why Amazon lets people say completely false things about products, just for pure bashing pleasure...

This is probably the last machine I see Microsoft putting out. All the rushing to put this out 6 months or more before the PS3.

The only thing the Xbox had going for it was the hard drive.

I have both the PS2 and the Xbox and the Xbox 360 will be a let down if you buy it.

You have to spend $300 on the console and then you have to spend $100 on the hardrive.

To play games online you need to have a subscriton. So just to get started your looking at $600.

Then games which ar $10 to $30 more than PS2 and hoepfully PS3 games.

The biggest thing to watch for is that this console wont be supported by most of the big game manufacturers.

The big game titles may put their games on this system after they release it for the PS3 when it comes out.

So if you buy this it will be an investment that will only last till the PS3 is out then most people, game producers, and advertisement will go to the PS3.

Then you have a $600 dollar paperweight.
