I like Xbox360 and xboxlive, I just hate their pricing system and that they charge to play online, you'd think maybe they could give gold members benefits like % off on purchases etc and let silver members play buy put small advertisements on lobby screens and loading screens.. I dunno maybe it's just me.

I also suspect I'd like it more if I actually had a friend list lol

The issue is you get what you pay for with XBLA vs. Nintendo and PS3.

On XBLA, yes you pay $3/mo (its far less than $50/yr)

However, there is a demo for 80% of the games, trailers for most every game, free content, and all the little knick nacks for free. On Xbox, it cost.

Also, versus the other systems the online gaming aspect is better, as far as I've heard, in terms of preformance. Remember, Nintendo games have just become online compatible, and only a handful of PS3 games are online-compatible. We've had online play from Day 1, tons of XBLA games, and everything has worked.

MS is far outpacing the others. Why? They actually are investing in the system to make it work. Yes it costs, but you get what you pay for. I won't mind $3.45 a month to download demos to every game.

kn - download speeds really just depend on your connection speeds. I downloaded PGR3, a near-1GB game in just under 20 minutes on cable.

anybody wanna be on my friend list on my 360 lol I really need to try it out.

Thank God for XBL

now you see the real next gen gaming system
