Hey there,

Tiger Woods
Fifa Word Cup
Fight Nights 3

and soon to be

Tom Clancy Rainbow (whatever it is called)

Anyone wanna hook up online for some gameage?

I want to get one. Would you recommend getting it now, or waiting for more games, etc. How do you like it?

I love it.

I will admit that there aren't alot of games at the moment, but it is killer.

You must have an HDTV though for it to really be worth it.

Wireless remotes have no delay. You can power the console on and off with the controller.

TW golf is awesome. Putting is a bitch though.

Hockey game is killer.

FIFA game is real fun. You have to be a soccer nut though. (I am) In 5 games though, I have yet to score and yet to be scored on. I assume it can be done though.

Fight Night is absolutely awesome. Really good boxing. I loved FN2. This one is way better.

The next game comes out on Thursday. The Tom Clancy game. It has major hype. Hope it can live up to it.

Buy one if you can find one. I had to pull some strings with a buddy of mine that runs a game store.

Be sure to get the Premium version. The one with the Hard Drive.

One downside though...

Backwards compatability. It is there for some games so far but not for any of the good ones.

I have about 20 games for the regular XBOX. None of the backwards compatability has been done yet by Microsoft. (What this means...you put in your old game. 360 connects to LIVE and downloads an update and VIOLA. You can play the old game on your new system.)

You can't play any of the Maddens or NCAA's yet. My brand new James Bond game isn't done yet either.

But hell, if you have Cabela's Deer Hunter the update is out there.

I won't pay more than retail though, but I want one real bad. I have 50 inch LCD HDTV and although my regular xbox is great on it, I think the 360 will be that much better. As long as I can get Halo and some good sports games on it, I will be happy. Thanks for the info.

Halo 1 and 2 are backwards compatable...
