I'm just floating this out there to see if anyone has one they'd like to trade for smokes.

My wife and I played Kinnect at a buddies and it was pretty sweet. I think my daughter would like it too.

Let me know!

I'd highly recommend purchasing this brand new AND taking out the extra warranty.

We're a PS3 family so I'm not really up to date!

Some people have had a hard time with the "red ring of death" where your 360 doesn't work anymore. You would have to send it to microsoft to get it fixed. The newer ones don't get the red ring as much. I got it once and was without my 360 for weeks.

Don't get me wrong...it's a viable platform...it's just that it's a M$ product filled with bugs and glitches!

If you do get one...get it brand new...why inherit someone's "problems"...there have been numerous XBOX's kicked off the net for cheating and altering maps too.

Just saying'

If it's a game system...I've either had it, have it or want it.

oh yeah. I definitely like my xbox more than my ps3. The gaming is better. The online is better (but you pay for it). The graphics are better on the ps3. I play my xbox for games and ps3 for blu-rays.

We have a 360. We got Kinnect at Christmas and the kids had fun with it for about a month...it's collecting dust now. Actually the xbox doesn't get too much use, but part of that is we don't really buy games for it much and we never got Live (yet). I think I play it more myself than the kids when I'm just sitting around.

Yeah...that how we are with the Wii (collecting dust) I play the PS3, but too many buttons for our five year old daughter. I thought maybe the Kinect would be a good in-between? Higher end enough of a challenge for me, but easy enough that she could give it a go.

She probably would enjoy the Kinect. Not much involved other than trying to stay within the area where the Kinect can read your movements...sometimes when kids get to jumping around they leave the zone. Our Wii is collecting dust in the basement as well.

Mike check here for current deals on game consoles:

http://dealspl.us/Game-Consoles_deals 

for a time they had $100 gift cards with the purchase of a 360 4GB with kinect at $299.00. I just missed that deal so I am waiting for it to come back around again. But I think the $50 gift card is still available.

Mike,

I have 2 XBOX 360's, 1 I bought a few months after it came out and another that was purchased a about a year ago. Never have had a problem with either one so far.Have just about every accessory for them, Even have the HD DVD player for the older one (mine), lol .Also got The kinect accessory for the newer one(the kids) and my kids love it. You just got to pick a good game for it(the kinect). Not all games for it are good....meaning highly rated......worth playing.......worth spending money on. Some games are great, some suck. Also IMHO, the 360 and its problems are no greater or less than than those affecting the Wii, PS3 or PS2.
