Ok, just sold my Xbox and am thinking of getting a 360 at the beginning of next month.

Have any hardware bugs been fixed by now? Do you think it would be worth getting one now or waiting? My Xbox Live account is ticking down too, so without an Xbox it's being wasted.

GAME have a good pack available; the full pack + Fight Night and PGR3 for £319.99

Well, in my opinion, if you're not a fan of FPS games, there's not much point in getting a 360. At least for the moment.

Seems to be all producers are focusing on, and it's annoying me. The only games on the 360 that appeal to me are PGR3 and Oblivion, and even they don't all that much.

And just to gloat, I have every Smackdown game :-) and I'll probably end up getting 2007 as well, even though I gave up on wrestling well over a year ago.

I feel like such a git. I was lucky to get a 360 last Christmas and I've not really used it since about March. I don't even have any games for it anymore.

Test Drive Unlimited looks good. I'll probably get that, and the new Smackdown as well. I haven't had one of those for a few years.

Simple plan: Cook the kids, and move to some random cannibal island. You'll be a king.

I'm gonna ask my brother if he's going to get one, at that price he might be tempted but only if it has some good games. he earns over £800 a month but that seems to disappear within a few days. God knows what he buys. I'd get it myself but I wouldnt have the time to play it.

Only if I sell all my current games.

There's bills to pay and mouths to feed, you know!

The funny thing is, you know millions will get lawsuits against Nintendo for such an eventuality.

I'm going to damage my wrist even more so swinging around a remote control as if it were a sword or tennis racket :(

I'll ready my lawsuit.
