Alas, this is true. But Microsoft fix RROD free of charge, and extend your warranty, and give you free live time as I understand it.

Yeah, that is my biggest complaint with the Xbox, paying for "Gold". Laughable. But then I read a story earlier that Sony were considering introducing a similar set up?

I read that too, but there have been a lot of people saying that wont happen for the simple fact that Sony introduced that as one of the main selling points of the ps3 against the 360.

- SPOILER SPOILER-Who else thinks that the song playing when you get to go back to your farm and your family in RDR make the mood of the story actually worth while?

To be fair, Xbox Live is a superior service by far. Sure it sucks to pay for it, but given that Sony have been haemorrhaging money through a PS3 shaped hole for years, perhaps it's the right way to go after all.

I dont see where you get that really, as long as you can go and play with your mates then what else would make it better? And as far as RDR goes, PS3 gets exclusive content.

Live is better across the board, in terms of profile management, gamerscore, matchmaking etc. etc. They are broadly equivalent in terms of features these days, but by all accounts Live is a better service precisely because Microsoft has been doing it for longer. Not that I'm saying Sony doesn't know what it's doing, it's just less unified, less of a core strategy than Live is.

It's kind of a Myspace/Facebook thing though... People who have abandoned Myspace say Facebook is better, but realistically they're basically the same.

To be fair, the sole reason I ended up getting a 360 is because I only know two people with PS3s and one of them is my father. Where as I've got a friend list of about 30 folk on the Xbox.

Can anyone here suggest a good blue-tooth device for my gaming system?

Got Halo: Reach and am really enjoying it. It might be Bungie's best game (definitely best Halo game). It seems like they finally managed to grab all the good parts of each game in the series and put them together. The multiplayer is much better than Halo 3 in my opinion. Obviously it won't change the opinions of anyone who doesn't like Halo, it still is a Halo game, but it is worth a play for anyone on the fence about the series.

You might be waiting for a long time. I really don't think they will ever see the light on PC.

Yeah, but from my understanding, they don't work nearly as well as PC games, being designed around a console controller. Not sure there will ever be a PC port of Halo 3 or Reach.

A few people seemed to think Halo on PC was the definitive version of the game, but I didn't hear much good about Halo 2, although most of that had to do with the requirement of Vista.

the big bonus of having it on pc as well is the mod community, who create some fantastic things.... like the terminator mod for gears of war!

and the whole controller thing i don't believe as the x-box 360 controllers plug into your computer and works just as well...

Yeah, except not really. The analogue triggers only really work properly in games specifically designed to support the 360 controller. The shitty drivers define the triggers as plus and minus directions on a Z axis, and often games will only map actions to buttons.
