Ok so I had my xbox for about 5 days and I just now hooked it up. I have the pro HDMI model with a 120 GB elite hd. I wanted to try a couple of games on the 360 and with Forza 3 dropping that just made my choice quite easy. Now I've had a PS3 since launch so comparing the 2 would be silly on my part, but there are certain aspects of the 360 I like. The interface feels akward to me but in time I can see it being a lot more comfortable.

I'm not quite sure what its called so I'll just call it the hud section where you decide if you want to pick a game of movie or what not seems really colorful. It feels more like a toy then the PS3 XMB. Its not a bad thing, but the PS3 feels a lil more adult to me.

I liked the lil customization character you could make at the beginning of setting up your gamertag. This is something I would like the PS3 import over as the avatar is sorta bland to me. I wasn't to thrill with the hairstyle choices and player complexions but all and all it was fun creating a lil guy.

I signed up for the gold membership for a month just to see what it is all about. All my friends have a PS3 so I don't see this being a long term thing unless it proves to be well worth the money. I'm a total noob to the live scene so any advice would be much appreciated.

All and all I'm happy with my purchase so far. The games I got with my xbox were dead rising, lost odyssey, mass effect, viva pinata trouble in paradise, and Forza 3. I haven't played anything yet but If anyone has like a forza 3 league I would happily sign up, I love racing sims. I also plan on getting L4D 2 next month.

OT: I wanted to put in underscore in my gamertag but for some reason I couldn't is there a reason for this?
