silky hun get a 360
youll love it, theres nowt like a good frag fest at the end of a day on gears of war, lol (and not forgetting the fantastic Halo 3)- - oh and if you play against the americans then dont mention friendly fire...................I did and it started a right slanging match online one night on rainbow 6 lol and i was loving it hahahahaahah. I play online with people from all over the world. Got some players on my freinds list from Japan/Austrailia, a lot from the USA, a few from france and a couple of guys from Hawaii !! lol and a few more countries - and its ace!
you can also access your windows messenger through your xbox too - tbh once you have it you will realise its much more than just a games console, if you have a live vision cam you can video chat, theres voice chat and picture messaging - you can download videos and and game demos and gamer themes and pictures from the xbox live marketplace through the 360 to customoise your xbox dashboard to your own tastes.
I would never be without my 360 now - in fact ive just upgraded to the 120gb hard drive as they are adding so much more content to the market place that i was running out of space with the amount of games downloads i had on my machine as well as the amount of music i had on there. You can also play and charge your ipod up through your 360 too
- AND its also windows media centre compatible, and its a pretty good DVD player.
check out this site - have a browse and see what sort of features and current downloads are going on in the world of xbox live right now.
Xbox.com | On Xbox 360 - Xbox 360 Live Home Page
if you were definatly going to get one then you may as well get the new Black xbox 360 elite (as it comes with the 120gb hard drive already)
youll love xbox live - once your online on it you wont want another console
