Welcome 2 pi fans! I mean, 360 fans...welcome! grin

This thread is for general discussion of the Xbox 360 console-opinions, backwards compatibility, game recommendations, questions, etc.

We've come full circle ( tongue ) with the one year anniversary not too far away so it's interesting to see how it's been doing. With an exciting line-up this holiday season and next spring and a new array of accessories coming out, I think it's doing quite well. grin

Yay!

Xbox Live down today for a whole 24 hours! cry They're upgrading something... but apparently it's not a dashboard update. thinking

Here's some videos of upcoming games, just to get the juices flowing.

Bioshock
Mass Effect
Gears of War
Assassin's Creed
Star Trek Legacy

I am so psyched for Bioshock, Mass Effect, and Assassin's Creed. grin

I'm hoping that the 360 will drop in price pretty soon so I can pick one up for myself. happy

Are they set to come down for christmas?

The PS3 delay in Europe is good for MS, but bad for buyers, since there won't be as much competition driving down prices this christmas.

I don't know, but that would seem to me to be the right time.

Damn you Guitar Hero 2. With your downloadable songs and awesomeness you may force me to get a 360.

I'm planning on buying a 360 sometime next year. Games like Assassin's Creed, Halo 3, Banjo Threeie, and the Half-Life bundle (Yay Team Fortress 2!) leave me no other choice.

Be sure to buy one of those base cooling systems with it. It only costs around $20. If your buying a core system, the hard drive costs around $100. If you don't have X-box live, you can also burn a patch on a blank Cd in order to upgrade the backwards compatibility of your 360.

Pretty sure it comes out as 2 pi, though I can't be bothered working it out tongue

Bioshock, Mass Effect, may induce me to get this thing once prices drop. GH2 is a good one, but the controller looks bad for my left-handed self. I prefer the classic Gibson SG.

The 5 titles Zac mentioned, plus the 5 or 6 XB titles that caught my eye, will likely draw me into picking up a 360 after a pricedrop (though I'm guessing that'll be at least another year since the 360 doens't have to worry about pricepoint against Sony or Nintendo, and M$ will want to ride the full price through the inevitable Halo 3 sales spike, then drop it afterwards).

jade empires combat was too easy :P

I'd like to see more party AI like that of Sudeki, which was a highlight of the game, you could keep control of one character and your allies wouldn't start dropping like flies.
