You don't know how often I hear that... or say it. I still use ethernet cables so I can't be of any help. But I do think it's time you made the upgrade..

Add me when you do. GT: Breakfast

so is it confirmed? .... toughNAME = Breakfast... very interesting

Well i believe you are pretty much going to have to drop 100 bucks on the wifi adapter... and the subscription to xbox live is 50 bucks.. so it looks like you are out 150 right off the bat if you want/need to go wireless, hopefully the wireless doesnt affect connection speed too much

I am almost 100% sure i will have 360 by next week.

If you are serious about getting a 360 I would wait for the Jasper ones (that might be the 60GB) that could possibly have the RROD problem fixed or those will at least last you longer that the current ones :)

Status: offline 		if you have the money, I saw go for it.  It's only a plus when it comes to owning multiple consoles.  I on the other hand will hold out.  I wanted to get one eventually (for Fable 2, if they ever make another Jade Empire, and some other random games); but I decided to wait out.  If MS is in fact making another console, then I may just wait until that one is released, or buy the 360 when it's dirt cheap because there is another console.  I'm in school, and don't have money to just spend like it's all good.

It also might be worth it to wait til the Fall when they come out w/ the new chipset that is supposed to be more reliable. Right now they have a version of that chipset out but it won't have HDMI until the new one comes out in the fall.

Playing online is annoyingly expensive, however their service offers features the PS3 doesn't.

So if you can afford it, I recommend getting one, without a doubt, if not, than the PS3 is still a very good machine

The N64 version is being released on XBLA before the end of the year. It also includes the Stop n Swop feature to link up with Banjo 3.

Lmao Paul had it right. I don't even remember this comment...but my gamercard is in every post I make on the forums, do we not put 2 and 2 together? And Breakfast's gamercard isn't his N4G username...so if you added Breakfast you would get some random person.

Shock and Awe.

yeah, i'm holding off for the Jasper ones. WiFi is important for me. do 3rd party WiFi sticks work on the 360?

2. Get Dead Rising
3. Don't get a fan. It will void your warranty
4. Don't get a wireless head set.
5. Get a 20G hard drive. You are only using it as a gaming platform, right?

Uh oh, Damage control...jajaja

Secret is out, no doupt.

On topic, I wouldn't get it. Everyone I know has had over two consoles by now, and are all now considering PS3s.
Don't hate me cause i'm still on my 1st PS3.
