it's pretty sweet so far, but I can easily see some complaining about how short it is. I love these types of games and the freedom to do anything I want for hours on end like Incredible Hulk, GTA 3, and Spider-Man 2, but the core game can be beaten in about 10 hours or so.

I'm making the same debate Matty. I have an Xbox, and since they stopped making games for it, I'm SOL once the new round of EA games comes out. So I'll probably get a 360 here soon...

The Wii is fun and when Tiger Woods comes out for it, look out. Being able to actually swing the club and its only $250 can't beat that. I'd get the wii for playing sports games (except madden) and entertaining alone, but 360 for adult type gameplay .. does that make sense?

I wonder if kids even really play video games anymore... they're less and less the targeted demographic...

I never got very far through any of the GTA games, I always have too much fun just doing whatever.

Not many people did. I know that I played the ORIGINAL GTA & GTA 2 for Ps1 and they were the shit! Then GTA3 came out and I lost my ****ing mind. I was used to this top-down shoddy looking rendition of beating people up, running them over, spitting on them and blowing their cars up with grenades. I beat Vice City and THEN went nuts just doing dumb shit. San Andreas is the best tho. Nothing better than drive-by's on BIKES! HAHAHA....the next one is in Vegas I think. Thats going to be too fun....

I love my 360, I wish I could get more use out of it. If you have an HDTV, it makes it that much sweeter. I highly recommend grabbing a 360. I was skeptical at first, but I love it and wouldn't trade it for a PS3

How do you have it hooked up to your HDTV?
Are you considering buying the HD-DVD player? If so, will you be able to take avantage of the newest Dolby and DTS codecs?

Gears of War is the shit, **** PS3 worthless and has no games, you look stupid playing the Wii, but 360 is the middleman in the equation.

It's a pretty kewl game that won pc game of the year last year. It's kind of a mixture of Half-Life action and Silent Hill freakiness. Wait another month or so and u should be able to find it for another 10-20 bucks cheaper if I had to guess. If he enjoys it, u 2 should check out some stuff about BioShock which is supposedly coming out sometime in June.
