Well i got my xbox with halo 1 and barely played it then got h2 and got xbl 6 months before h3 came out, and i was like omg0rz h3 will rockorz so i bought a 360 but it dissapointed(h3). Now im glad i did, most of my friends have xbl and 360's and it has alot better games.
I bet if the xbox never had a rrod problem it would of destroyed the ps3. I think the next xbox will destroy the next playstation if it dosent break.
and lol @ people saying MTV etc made it popular lulz.
