    Amazon has been selling HDMI 360s for a while (it does specify HDMI). To be fair shipping would have been about $20.

      Did you get the MS extended warranty? The base is 1 year....I'm debating it, even though I know I should throw in the money.

        And I've no idea. Maybe it's cause they actually get budgets?
        Wrong answer - the correct one is that the Xbox 360 line-up has a good spread of games in different genres - Forza 2, Oblivion, GH2, PGR3, NHL08, Eternal Sonata and C&C3 for instance all well regarded games with consistently high scores. And that's just off the top of my head - there are others.

        And 'shooters' are not really alike anyway. There's a big difference between a cover based TPS (like Gears) and Halo 3 (more standard FPS), and hybrids like Bioshock.

        Omg I'm being more fanboyish than Asher.

          What do you think of Halo 3 so far?

          Also, that's not a lot of games you listed. The real standouts for the console -- GRAW 1-2, Rainbow 6 Vegas, GOW, Halo 3, Bioshock..are all FPS.

            Yes, I own RE4 and I completed it (I skipped it on GCN).

            It's not fluid, it's twitchy -- like every other Wii game I've played. It's not a software thing, it's a cheap hardware and bad IR-based design thing.

              I never buy extended warranties.

                Those aren't the real standouts. I suggest you do your research, sir!

                  I'm up to level 5 and it's fun so far but I'm not being blown away like with, say, the Gears campaign. I'll post more complete thoughts when I'm done and have tried co-op, which looks great.

                      Those are all standouts for sure, but no more than my list, which was about the same size as yours. You said 90% of good games were shooters and this just isn't true for any definition of good.

                      Plus, as I said there is variety between shooters as well, which undermines your argument further. Halo, Bioshock, RSV and Gears are all very different games.

                        I think those games have much higher sales than the others. I am just saying that it's interesting most popular games involve shooting crap.

                          So you just demanded a new console? Surprised they didn't say no.

                            Actually, they offered it before I could demand it.

                              You think GRAW/R6 sold more than Oblivion and Forza 2?

                                I believe MS extended the warranties on all XBox360s some time ago, to a couple of years, due to the RING OF DEATH or whatever.
