this may sound funny but i'm rapidly losing interest in the whole bloody thing!

also lost track of where i have preorders - probably end up with loads of the buggers after christmas!

I agree.

I was talking to people in an xbox chatroom, and most of them who bought one has resold it because they didn't think it was that good, and these are people in an xbox chatroom!

Its mainly because most of the released games have just been rushed conversions of the original xbox titles.

Conclusion, Xbox 360's only good point is it has better graphics, inwhich most current games released for it doesn't even use the full potential, wait until after xmas when more games com out.

Duno, for me it ain't just the games that's attracting me to the Xbox360 - It's the media centre connectivity to PC.

I have wireless around house and main PC holds most/all my stuff - I'm hoping to use my wireless network adapter to hook the xbox360 to my network and stream movies / mp3's to my TV.

Also, attach keyboard and mouse and get on the tinternet from mi armchair. Stream internet radio?

I was looking at a Shuttle, mini-pc to do this a whille back, but they're £300+ to build at least.

Hmm yeah.

I only discovered this forum last night, and fortunately it came at the right time as I've been able to track down a few Xbox 360s.

But after scowering this thread for hours all day, phoning Argos about ten times etc I'll just be glad to get it on Monday.

I already have a Linksys WET11 Wireless bridge which I use for Xbox & other PC/Mac which for me is better than the Xbox360 only solution.
