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

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

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.

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 love FPS games, I just can't afford anything at the moment.

I had the first two Smackdowns for the PSone, and then I got the first one for the PS2. It was rubbish and I haven't bothered since. I don't have an interest in wrestling anymore, but this latest one looks great on the 360.

Rumble Roses sounds good :D but are there any good RPGs on the 360 yet?
