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

I didn't even know about it until i saw a video of it on some crappy games show. Looked pretty cool, the guy was parachuting down, then he grapple hooked onto the car with the person inside he was meant to kill, got in the drivers seat, drove it off a cliff and then jumped back out and went back to paragliding. Looked very cool, if all the game is like that i'll enjoy it.

Of course the little release of games there is pwned by Disgaea 2 and Xenosaga 3 on the PS2 coming out in America on the 29th August but ah well :-D

So what's all the hype around Just Cause? I've seen a few screen shots, and I've heard that it's supposed to be bigger than all the GTA games.

Even if that's true, is is a good thing?

September seems a pretty good month for releases, Dead Rising, Saint's Row, Rainbow Six Vegas and Just Cause

I'm happy with my 360 playing the likes of GRAW, Fight night and PGR3 online as well as pro evo 5 from time to time.

Only thing is the recent lack of games that appeal to me but I've not got too long to wait hopefully till a bunch of games I want come out - namely Rainbow six: vegas, splinter cell 4 and pro evo 6.

Well, having fun with my 360. I wouldn't agree that the games were dire, certainly none of the ones I have are. Other than the (great) racing games, Kameo is fun, Table Tennis is excellent, LOTR is great (though would benefit from HDTV), Dead or Alive 4 is nice, Oblivion is great (what I've played of it).

But yeah, I guess it depends on your tastes...

I've gone off console gaming a bit at the minute, apart from gunning the multiplayer on some of my Xbox titles. Haven't played a game of single-player on anything in quite a long while. That's also due to San Andreas not working =c(

Yeah, anyway, if I do buy a 360 it'll be after they've gone down below the £200 mark and after I've seen what the PS3 has to offer.

As has been said, at the minute the games are pretty dire. Though they're more graphical showcases and just instantly playable, it's still not what was promised by Microsoft for the launch. Even all these months later no titles leap out at me. Could also be because I don't like racing games like PGR though =\

Its quite expensive, and the other consoles are just about to be released (this year) I would say wait untill the other ones are out.
But, its a good console. Im not really fond of all of the games out right now for it.
There is graw, and stuff, but the games are expensive.
