Yep, that's probably very true. But the 360 still has a better game library, and that's all I give a shit about.
Target XBox 360 deal

- Start date

Same here.
There are four games I'd play on the PS3 and two of them are not even out yet and I can tell you one of them is not MGS4.
Well, that is ofcourse a matter of opinion...
But different opinions are good...
True...
Close the internet...
At FYE it's $5 cheaper than the Target deal; it had a $30 rebate.
So yeah, I finally got a 360.
I got Halo, Mass Effect, Gears War, Bioshock. Halo is great so far, LOVED 1 and 2, and even on split-screen the graphics are amazing. Mass Effect I'm 5 hours into, and it's certainly a worthy KOTR successor, maybe even better since there's live combat in this one, it's like 1/2 Halo 1/2 KOTR. Unfortunately my disc won't load 50% of the time; I can only assume this is b/c its a used game with one teeny pock on it. Also, the frame rate skips constantly as I run around, is that normal?
And is it better to have the console standing or lying down? I have it lying down b/c I'm paranoid about the disc falling out when you eject it.

Horizontal, if only to avoid the disc scratching issue.
It takes less space vertical I guess.
As for Mass Effect... I hate to say it, but I'm going to say that BioWare is a pretty janky console developer. Whatever the reason may be, their PC versions always run better.

Vertical 360 (Falcon revision) running in my house for a year with no problems whatsoever.
So how do you know which version console you have? Is it written in an indicia somewhere? Mine has a humongous black power brick separate from the console, do they all have that?
Oh yeah... 48 hours of ownership and I've had my first red ring.
At first I thought the damn thing burned out my power because the TV snapped off as well, but it turned out I just had a brown out where the power on side of my apartment went out but not the other side (even in the bedroom). And the 360 worked fine after that thank GOD.

I know it's a falcon board because it's a premium 20gb model with an HDMI port, purchased a year* ago.
At least I'm pretty sure that makes it a falcon.
*Um, now that I think about it, 7 months is a pretty loose definition of a year...

Yes, the premium 20gb model with an HDMI port is a Falcon.
BTW Mr. Light, congrats.
No, that's not true. There are HDMI 360s that have both the 90nm CPU and GPUs. There's a "model finder" out on the Internet that you can check to be sure. I think you want a Team CSON with a Manufacture date of June 2007 or later... but I can't remember.
The replacement 360 I got last winter barely met that "deadline"... and in fact, many of the Arcade packs - which do have HDMI ports - are NOT Falcons.

Dammit, Canadia only...WTF Microsoft??
Kidding of course. It's good to see our Canadian friends getting some 360 deals too.

That's a retail level bundle... probably to get rid of old 360s and UT3s.
