Re: XBox 360 or Not?
It wasn't - so its a pointless question.
However - if the PS3 did come out the same time - it would be just as, if not more unreliable than the 360 due to being rushed! Butuz |

As for Home.. how long did it take after launch for Live! to be released? |

Re: XBox 360 or Not?
Yep Live was implemented on the original Xbox, it was launched 2 years (i think) after the console was released, with MotoGP being the game of choice for its launch. It had friends list, not sure about invites & messenger tho, can't remember.

Anyway this is all a bit silly - none of us should be providing excuses for any of these companies. The fact of the matter is that Home isn't available here and now. All any of us can do is judge the market as we see it today and make our own decisions. Me? I'm sticking with my trusty Gamecube and when anyone can come back to me with anything half as fun to play with a group of mates after a night out I'll start paying attention  |

Re: XBox 360 or Not?
Don't knock the gamecube, there were/are some seriously good games for that.
It's a shame that many of them are so hard to find these days. |

Re: XBox 360 or Not?
i'll make the statement that if you have 4 friends in the room, that the Wii is much more fun than either of the other two consoles for 4 players.

I agree with Tig, that is until Rockband appears for the 360 very soon
