Wow, this thread is on fire! I agree with several folks who said don't trust any of them. However I think it bears repeating that Microsoft has a long and storied history of betraying and bullying their partners and customers from the very beginning (if you don't know what I'm talking about, take a little time to look it up). And as they say, a leopard can't change his spots.
In fact, working in IT, I have been on the receiving end of their bullying more than once, so I speak from experience. Has anybody here ever met someone who works for Microsoft? They are some of the most annoying people on earth.
Long story short, I prefer to not give Microsoft my money, so I buy everything used when I can. My 360 and most games are used, but I have bought a few new (halo 4 & wars, etc.). Not planning on buying an x1 unless my boys reall really really have to have it (which will probably happen ;)
