XBOX 360 + Restraint ?
Went into Comet today and watched the rolling demos of the 360 and to be honest I wasnt all that impressed, I read the webmasters comments on the other thread and it kind of rings true, i.e. the thing is just idling with the current crop of games, they look like normal XBOX games, perhaps 10/20 % better.
So I am going to wait, anyone else of the same mind.
Obviously this goes hand in hand with not pre-ordering one !

It's estimated that even the most taxing of the release games is still only using about a quarter of the consoles power, so there should be far greater things to come.
I ordered one because a) my old xbox is getting a bit dodgy, and b) I'm a sucker for a new gadget

Have got a severe case of shiny kit syndrome.

I wouldn't be without a games console, but can quite happily live without others things such as Sky TV, a Scoob etc etc

I'm still loving my Xbox so not fussed about a 360 yet. I will get one but at the mo I have Far Cry Instincts, Half Life 2, Pro Evo 5 etc to go at. Loads of life in the current machine IMHO.
However if Halo 3 was here I would have one in a shot!

it's PGR3 for me. I can easily say that game cost me 6 months of my life. It's the only game I've ever fully finished. I worked at it until I had all the platinum medals for career and Arcade.
So I'm about to crawl into a hole to play PGR3
