ruby651 get a X-box 360 and the games Gears of war 1 and 2, Fallout 3, Fable 2, Bioshock, Tomb raider: underworld, Halo 3, Grand Theft Auto 4, and the new Midnight club. Then next year watch out for Street Fighter 4, Resident Evil 5, Ghostbusters, and probably a few more games. Oh i almost forgot the new Call of Duty: World at war. The X-box 360 just keeps getting better. A friend of mine has a PS3 and hates it, he's selling it and getting the 360, and then buy a Blue-ray dvd player. He wants the gears of war games and Fable 2, and they won't be on the PS3. Also look for Bioshock 2 next year only on X-box 360 and not on the pc or PS3. Well i hope you get it ruby651 it's worth it trust me, i had mine the first day it came out and i can't stop playing it. I have about 27 games right now and plan on getting more, Well good luck with it when you get it, also lay it down don't stand it up, Mine is laying down and never had a problem with it, everybody who had problems with their 360 stood theirs up. But now with the new systems microsoft says they think they have the problems fixed, i hope so just incase mine deciedes to die, then i'll get the $200.00 version because i have two hard drives. Well talk to you soon Merry Christmas. Dave P.
