I have gone through 2 xbox's, first one cd drive burnt up. couldn't play anything... understand cuz it was the first shipment. but that should have not happen when ur paying around 400 bucks for a brand new machine. and 60 bucks a game.
second one destorys my games. after extensive time play (like the machine gets too hot) u begin to see that a little crease in the actual cd is formed towards the center. until it cracks
i am really anal about my electronics and take care of them religiosly just like my car.
on top of that xbox live alwasy lags, i get kicked out of lobby's. alwasy says servers are full. its way too expensive.... product sucks.
Graphics wise, it is an improvemtn over xbox or ps2 but nothing comapred to computer games, like counter strike source etc.
the games seem to be really short for some reason. i finished deathrow in under 3 days. call of duty in couple weeks. i remember games like that being a lot more difficult and always lasted some times months to finish. i guess, microsoft and all the other companies are making them short so taht u get tired of a game and have to buy the new releases.
