If I have a GM made car does that make me their bitch? I dont know why people crap on Microsoft and Gates so much, everything that company has accomplished since its beginnings and how much its grown is a testament to Gate's genius and foresight. Who says you have to run windows anyway, get a Mac then? Does it make someone Apple's bitch to buy a Mac computer and buy an iPod? Seems MS is doing the same thing its always done, provide the masses with a means to operate their PC's and all kinds of useful software programs and so on. I'd say Apple is flooding the stores with its products and force feeding the public more now with its iPods than MS, all you hear is iPod this iPod that anymore, how many versions of that thing will they come up with each year? In fact buying an xbox or an xbox 360 actually doesn't help Microsoft anyway, they lose money on every unit they sell. They get money from the games and accessories. Go buy a bunch of xboxes and dont use them if you buy enough you could bankrupt them.. :lol:
Sorry bout the rant, not trying to start a fight, just dont see how it makes you their "bitch". Lots of corporations do the same thing, monopolizing the markets and shoving crap down our throats with non-stop advertising. At least MS doesnt have kids making the units in a sweatshop like Nike does with its products and relentless advertising campaigns. Im not saying MS's hands are totally clean in the marketplace, I just dont think its fair to single them out.

And if you actually read my post I didn't spend that much on the system, Ive only spent out of my pocket $345(3 games, wireless controller and S-video cable) I sold my ps2 and xbox on eBay and made 600 dollars off them and that paid for the console. But I would of paid for it out of my pocket anyways, so whats the big deal, people spend lots of money on all kinds of things and hobbies and "toys" so what? You got nothing better to do than critize others for liking something that you dont? Dont worry about what I do with my life and money and then pass judgements, like implying Im some single loser who sits alone and plays games all day, if I didnt have to work every day and spend time with my wife and friends maybe I would! :lol: I never critize you in the forum so why you taking shots at me all of a sudden?
i am going to take a shot in the dark and say that you are single. am i right?

What an ingenious idea. I don't know why someone would pay him over $2000 bucks to do something you can do yourself for free? But nothing surprises me on eBay anymore, people will pay for pretty much anything.

like the king i too am not spending $1000. I used the trade in deal where you got minimum $10 for all my old crap. It added up fast plus i also got a lot of free stuff from being a manager and sold that. Im spending around $200 for the system a warrenty and 4 games.
I have also been married commen-law for 3 years now and work 50 hours a week.

Good news everyone I have my 360 
and you wont have to hear me go on about it anymore...after this quick review.
What can I say, its awesome I just finished a 2 hour Call of Duty2 session, my troops are holding back the Nazi invasion into Moscow, what an awesome game, very realistic and the graphics are amazing (even without HD). I couldn't be happier with the system, the controller is fantastic, the 360 interface is excellent very easy to use and get around, xbox live is always a fun experience and the games will only get better each year. In short,
I give it a million thumbs up.. :thumb: x million!!!!!!!!!
Until I get a router I wont be on LIVE, give me a few days. But to let any hipbasers who actually buy one of these bad boys (gratts I know you're on board) know my gamertag is "MassEffect" if you want to play online
feel free to add me to your friends list. I have the following games:
NHL2K6
Maddens NFL 06
Call of Duty 2
Rock on! :thumb:

I was expecting worse...those guys were just having a laugh it seems. Here in London a guy waited in line at Best Buy for hours got his machine and on the way to his car some dink mugged him took the xbox and ran off, the thing is the guy who got mugged was disabled, he had hearing and sight problems and obviously had some sort of learning disability, they chased the robber and bolted to the mall across the street and dropped it and took off. The cops haven't caught him yet. Man, there's just some things you dont do and picking on disabled/handicapped persons is one of em, I wish I had been there I would of chased that guy across Ontario just to wail on him. :x
