I would much rather play videogames with my ass on a couch in front of a reasonably sized TV in surround sound than in a chair at a desk with my face a foot away from a screen.

"So, will Microsoft follow suit by cutting the price of the original Xbox from $149? "

As I pointed out about two months ago Microsoft RAISED their retail price to $179.99 by bundeling in a $15 game.

"At this point in a console's cycle, would you consider purchasing an Xbox to catch up on the choice titles of this generation?"

I bought a 360 on launch day, own a game cube and a PS2 and ended up 2 additional Xboxes within the past month, not so much to "catch up on choice titles" but rather to have one in the living room, den, and bedroom.

"If they can can make Halo available via XBLM, why not Halo 3?"

They can't even make Halo 2 bareable to play online on the 360 why don't they work on the lag, garbled voice chat, sputtering music, and dropping framerate of a game people still play first.

wtf does it do?

The game should have been fixed BEFORE they released it. It seems to be a trend for developers to release unfinshed games for $60 a pop with the intent (although they may not always actually intend to) fix things later. I find this unacceptable.

Why is it that every patch that has come out thus far for the 360 and for 360 games has not addressed the majority of the major issues present in the games? It seems like every game has some sort of serious coding problem and every patch released to "fix" these problems is completely half-assed and neglects most of the problems plagueing the game. With the inccrease of price on most games you would think they would try to get their shit right the first time.

Wait, so the normal retail version comes with "a nice map" and the special edition comes with no map?
