UPS delivered my 360 to MS yesterday, and they updated the status today to say they received it. Yay....

I just called for shit and giggles and no offense but I shoulda hung up as soon as I heard the guy's voice. Anyway, according to him I have to wait another 2 weeks and he claims it's being repaired and not replaced. Yeah...that's what they said last time.

My biggest disappointment about my refurb is my wife can't play arcade games on her profile now.

its actually a $250 difference the PS3 is $600 with a free game, and the x360 is $350 now.
alot of people cant afford $600 so they go with the $360 system, but i dont think its a good invesment,
i mean for $250 you get a system that wont brake, with a free Blu-ray player and free online and some other great features like dvd upscaling and such.

It does little to offer anything of value to the discussions - other than fan the fires of fanboys on the internet.

I guess the PS3 may be a better deal for the whole 5% of the population that gives a rat's ass about HD movies, but for the other 95% it isn't a good deal.

I still have to be connected and logged in. Oh well. Just confirms my dislike of the whole downloadable purchases idea.

I also have a hard time believing units are actually being repaired and sent back. Maybe a small number are, but I'm sure it's a very small number.
