I just want to put out a warning of problems Microsoft is having with bad consoles, and problems the consumers are having with content they download. As of today there are 138 pages on this http://forums.xbox.com/1/11979922/ShowPost.aspx#11979922 Xbox forum that you might want to read at least the last few pages before buying an Xbox or spending money on Xbox live content. We just got the box to send in our dead xbox under warrenty. So wish us luck, I have my doubts as to whether things will work when it comes back. ~Gemcilly EQ1, Aylah Guk-EQ2, Gemick Test-EQ2

I had heard just a little before, but had no idea it was this much of a concern. I am still waiting for a good excuse to buy a PS3 and may settle for a Wii console first. Lord knows when Tecmo will come out with another Gallop Racer game, if any. If they do it might be an online-only game for the PC only.

We bought one after the 360 died. It's much better for family type play, but if you're looking for online play the PS3 might be the best choice. We have bowling, tennis, table tennis, baseball, golf etc for the Wii. Eventually we're going to get the PS3 too, there are games we like that are only made for Playstations, and I might break down and get some Japanese games if I don't have to mod my machine hehe ~Gemcilly EQ1, Aylah Guk-EQ2, Gemick Test-EQ2

I only have 1 movie in Blue Ray so far (300), but the visuals blew me away! I am well pleased with my purchase. My best friend got a 360 last week for Halo3 and that game is pretty awesome. He bought from Best Buy and added in a free replacement warranty. Smart move, I think. Beau

I also bought my PS3 in anticipation for a PS3 Gallop Racer version but have given up on those hopes. Fifa 08, Call of Duty 4 and Burnout Paradise are All incredible games that just won't let me put down the controller. I have played Halo 3 on a friends 360 and it doesn't even come close to Call of Duty 4 on the PS3!! Now we just have to see if Socom will top COD4!

If that's happened to you you can download the lawsuit at http://xbox360defective.com/lawsuit.php There is a link part way down. ~Gemcilly EQ1, Aylah Guk-EQ2, Gemick Test-EQ2

Don't change the orientation of the console when it's running. The DVD drive's running gear isn't as well secured as it could be, so knocking over a vertically-standing console can cause the machinery to collide with the disc surface. Characteristic circular scratches are the result and are generally fatal for the game." That's actually not correct. A study in the Netherlands I think, tested 360's. For defective disc drives, it doesn't have to be touched or moved to scratch discs. And a note to people, I can't remember where I read, but if you call about scratched discs Customer Service will ask you if you have your Xbox vertical or horizontal. If it's vertical they will try to blame the problem on you. ~Gemcilly EQ1, Aylah Guk-EQ2, Gemick Test-EQ2
