Xbox geeks

And yet you still pedal this thing as the best. Whatever floats your boat.

I guess I'll throw in my 2 cents.

The 360 is known for failing. Especially the pre-Jasper units. Mechanically, yes the 360 is inferior. However, for my personal preference I like the Xbox. I have played the PS3 numerous times, but there is something about it I don't like. I can't pinpoint what it is, but I just don't like it as much.

On that note, I know probably 2 people with a PS3, I know around 20 people with an Xbox.

My buddies all have PS3s.

the pros outweigh the cons imo. I have had my elite for almost 3 years and haven't had a single problem with it. I think my launch model had already red ringed by that point. so the point is as long as you steer clear of the early models you're good.

I had ONE rrod. And it was fixed under warranty. This on the cheapest 360 you could have bought back then.

Granted I only use it for racing games and last.fm and netflix, but its been rock solid for me. So has Live.

It came down to a decision for me, get into the Forza franchise, or wait three more years for GT5 to come out.
I had even planned on trading my 360 in for a PS3 when GT5 was released, but it got shit on so hard compared to Forza4, I kept it.
I'm happy with my decision, but it could have gone either way. I'm not a fan boy for either, and if the next Forza sucks balls, and GT6 is amaze balls (plus who knows about the next gen consoles on the horizon), I may switch back.
I used to own a PS1 and PS2. I had to limit myself to one system or another. Can't afford more than one.

You get to play video games out of the deal too. The Red Cross doesn't give you video games.

I'll buy them from you if you're willing to deal.

Forrest doesn't have Forza 4 yet and I need my own copy of Skyrim now that Dragonborn is out and he wants his back.

Thank you very much for that...my subscription is up in a couple of weeks...

Mine just renewed a few months ago but I'm picking it up anyway.

Sad thing is, I really only use it for Netflix access. I don't think I use any other feature that's specific to the Gold membership. I never game with anybody (which is why I quit WoW). I'm an anti-social gamer, haha. I think I accidentally played co-op on Dead Island (before I figured out how to disable it) and the dude was pissed off that I didn't have a headset on so he ran off for a bit and then came back and tried to kill me.

I'm in! Message me! I can Paypal you or whatever.

Ok. Ill message you the code for skyrim but ill have to mail you forza. it says its the essentials edition i just noticed. im not sure if this is the full game or what.

Essentials is missing a bunch of cars and tracks. As I understand it, it's missing pretty much all of disk 2. I think you can download the rest of it as DLC, but it's like $20, and doesn't include the other DLC packs for the full version.
