Well, after having PS3, Wii and PC for a long while I'm finally getting a 360.  It's on order and due to arrive soon.

I'd flirted around a 360 for a while, but struggled to justify the purchase to myself (bear in mind on PC I have Valve titles, Mass Effect, etc and on PS3 I have probably over 85% or more of the same library as 360 available).  It wasn't cost - I just don't buy stuff without some decent - dare I say reasonable - justification.

But, my eldest son is now a teenager, he's been asking for one, and this gives me the perfect 'stealth' justification.

So, he get's a 360 coming for Christmas and - indirectly - so do I!  Just waiting to hear what the wife says when she finds out you have to pay for online vs the PS3/Wii/PC...

So, I have Reach and CoD:BO on order, too.  I have pretty much every big recent multi and the only exclusives that appeal outside Reach and CoD are Halo 3 and Gears (which I've played on friends 360s but might pick up cheap) so I'm interested if any other notable titles I might have missed that are 360 exclusive and in particular I'm interested in any good XBLA games - I hear Limbo is very good for example.  I've played Alan Wake so I doubt I'll bother with it given it's a short SP only afair but am interested in anything else good.

BTW - not to cause trouble but I thought it was interesting my son made it clear he didn't want Kinect!  I think he thinks its a bit meh for his age group (13).  I didn't want to force it on him so got a 360 250GB and will pick up Kinect in January for myself so he doesn't feel I'm making him have it.

So... I also want more Kinect feedback.  Kinect Sports / Dance Central going by reviews and general feedback seem the only two really worthwhile titles at the moment.  Joy Ride I hate in principle and Kinectimals for sure isn't for me.  Anything else good though at the moment?

Ta!



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
