Three things gamers should thank Microsoft for this generation.

[Dystopian Delight]

On the flip side, I think achievements are the worst thing the xbox brought this generation, I see my friends hammer out annoying and generally unfun instances of gaming just for the sake of the. I dunno maybe i'm old school where the incentive to play the game was cause it's fun not some weird gamer epeen or little pat on the back for doing something trivial. Other then that I don't mind ms all that much in fact I would sooner own one then buy another wii (returned it in a week).
