I'm kind of curious (Not that I mind obviously), but why do you desire to have a 360? Certain exclusives, or?

this is clearly an experiment
if succeds they will pull the same shit with the nextbox

I wouldnt say confirmation but it tells us that MS is ready to hold off the price cut if this deal takes off.. 

Many people dont see that this mirrors that of buying a house......you pay more with a downpayment then you do when you pay for the whole thing upfront.

A downpayment now and paying off later costs more in the end because of interest.

So offcourse many people here dont see this as a deal. Because its not meant for them, as we are too used to buying consoles upfront.

This deal is meant for lower income families. They would end up paying more in the end, but the payment plan is done so that instalments are affordable to them.

Good list of games, I think you should enjoy all of those.

I would "advice" you to not buy Fable 2 though, for the simple reason that the series has been in serious decline since, so unless you intend to enjoy it as a stand-alone experience, you may wish to put that on the "someday when it's 5 bucks" list.

I must admit, I still have to play Lost Oddesey myself :/ Might have to order it tomorrow. :P

When you make a downpayment on a house, the real estate agent isn't telling you that the house costs the downpayment price.

The problem here isn't the contract. It's the asterisk. They aren't saying "Buy an Xbox 360 for $99 upfront plus $15 a month for 24 months", they're saying "Buy an Xbox 360 for $99*".

You forgot 

Amped 3 (Pretty average but worth my thime)

ACE Combat 6 (Old game)

Crackdown 2 (Average)

Shadow Complex (XBLA)

Viva Pinata : Trouble in Paradise

Toy Soldiers Series (XBLA, Freaking amazingly fun)

Trials Series (XBLA)

Minecraft (XBLA, best if you have siblings to play with you) 

FEZ (XBLA) 

*orders game*

Yes I do, I just have very little time to play games at the moment, let alone a RPG I do love them though.

I personally think that the subscription deal is something that would work on a new consoles release to take off the heavy price tag from non-enthusiasts of that console. As for releasing it now, it shows nothing but a blatant regard to attempt to rip off consumers yet again. MicroSoft doesn't impress me at all with their professional ethics. Their console is worth $100, yet agrogance determines a high market price.

PS: Kinect is stupid. Move is stupid. The Wii is stupid, and U are too!

What's wrong with Fable 2? I could see waiting for Fable 3 to go down in price, but Fable 2 was great imo, even with the few draw backs it had. Fable 2 is already pretty cheap at the moment, you can get the GOTY edition for $20 at GS.
