When one of those comes out for the PS3, then I'll consider getting one, <em>if</em> it's dropped to around $400 at that point. And I don't know any "must-buy" titles for the 360, although <i>Dead Rising</i> is pretty damn cool. I think what impresses me the most about the 360 is Xbox Live. I hardly ever use it other than for downloading demos of Dig Dug and Pac-Man and Doom, but I'm impressed by how well it's put together.

The reason I haven't gotten a 360 is because there are no titles out that I 'must' have. I'm not saying there aren't good games for it, but nothing has jumped out and forced me to buy one. The only games I tend to play these days are PC RPGs. Are there any 'must buy' titles on the 360 you can't get on a PC?

And I'm in the g**damn videogame industry. The main thing is that, yes, it's SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS. SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS. As much as I agree with everything you wrote in this post, I still would probably get one at $400 and it would *almost* be a no-brainer at $300. But $600?? Forget it.
