Help me justify the purchase of an Xbox 360

Anyone who has Kinect Adventures get's a two song demo of Dance Central.  If you have a friend with Kinect you could try it out.  Or ask nice at a store and maybe they will let you try.  I think it's similar too, but much superior to Dance Dance Revolution.  (Make sure you have enough play space.)

I have a Xbox 360s, Gaming PC, Blu-ray and a Wii. (All my frieds have PS3's too.)  Like others have said, there is so much in the arcade, plenty of free(demo)/inexpensive entertainment.  Plus, watching new movies in Zune and going 'Xbox Pause,' (go makes popcorn), 'Xbox Play' is very, very satisfying.

I end up using my Xbox more than thought I would.  Even for Netflix, it's browsing and finding new stuff is better than my other 3 options.  Plus, when they add the Netflix Kinect ap it will be a killer.

Try Limbo, Braid, etc.  I even got an indy space game called "Solar" where you are a little star, and get to go around the galaxy and gobble up planets till you become a Black Hole. It's sounds simple, but I found it really fun, and it was only $1.00.  There are so many little gems in Xbox Live it I've been pleasantly surprised.

I would strongly encourage you to get an HDMI Cable for your TV and the Optical TOS Link cable to your surround sound stereo so your X360 can really shine.

PS I took my Kinect to a PS3 Fanboy/MS Hater over the weekend, who loves to dislike things.  And even he had to admit that Kinect is 'nice and pretty cool' and 'works better than I expected.' (And that was will no config/set up).
