I have recently purchased an Xbox 360. It has not died form heat, it has not scratched discs, and I love how user friendly it is. The console is great that is all I have to say. The media blew up any little rumor or minor problems the consol had but I am glad I bought now rather then earlier.
The Games I bought for it: Perfect Dark Zero (mistake...do not buy because it will freeze repeatedly), Kameo: Elements of Power (do not buy it...you can rent it and finish it in a day), Dead or Alive 4 (buy it ...rent it...do whatever but it is a good fighter and can be fun with friends), Elder Scrolls: Oblivion (buy it, buy it, buy it. THe game is wonderful. if you played Morrowind...forget what you hated because every issue has been fixed. The game is wonderful and i will play it for a while to come.)
That is all for now but remember the console is good..but save your money and decide when the rest of the competition is available.
until next...i am too busy too do a full fledged post.
