What People Say

i bought my xbox 360 and used it for four months before i bought a single game on a disc.my wife enjoys playing music and looking a photos on it via any of our home computers. from Overstock.com i plan to use it to stream video and music from my computer to my tv, maybe access online services from the tv, and have games for the kids. from Amazon.com 2nd, most casual gamers will want to be able to play their old games on their new console, leading most back to sony (but myself back to microsoft). from Amazon.com and for ppl who dont think there are going 2 b any rele good rpg games out on it elder scroll oblivion is amazing. from Amazon.com my son is using it about 2 hours/day and no need to install a fan to cool off the system. from Amazon.com it is so enjoyable, my and my friend's girlfriends have even become addicted to playing, and they are by no means mainstream gamers. from Amazon.com also, if you want to try to get your girlfriend to play games with you, this system would be the one to do it. from Amazon.com a great time with the whole family (yes the xbox360 is for family,kids and ofcourse hardcore gamers :p) my uncle was extreamly pleased with the console that he even bought the sony bravia lcd ^^ from Amazon.com absolutely a wonderful product, don't see how this will be toppled in the console war, given the value for the price and the great game selection already available from Overstock.com its a great product that does what it promises." from Overstock.com
