    This is a serious question, and I would appreciate only "non-snarky/fan boi" responses(i.e. XBOX IS STUPIDZ!) Is the 360 a good system for your average/below average gamer? Is there a good backwards compatibility? I ask as someone who has a non HDTV, won't use a system to play movies, liked the original XBOX, and would like something to play to kill a few hours and isn't worried about online play. If so, are there any bundles, necessary/vital accessories, etc... that one should look for? I thank you all in advance for any help.

    @SpongeSteveSquareDave_GitEmSte...:


    Yes, there are good games (both on the 360 side and the Xbox originals) and no, you don't need to be online. If you have Netflix I would recommend using Live to stream movies.


    You don't need any special accessories. Not all Xbox games play on a 360, but most do. You can see the list at xbox.com


    The two games included in this bundle are great fun, I think it's a deal.

    @Islandkiwi: I have played Fable, which got me hooked, so the idea of playing Fable II is really intriguing,and more so if Fable can be played on it as well. I think one of the worst things I lost when my Ex left was all my saved games on her XBOX.

    @SpongeSteveSquareDave_GitEmSte...: Fable II is much better than the original. I own all three consoles, but the majority of games I play are on the 360. And if it's a multiple-console game, I usually buy the 360 version because I prefer the controller.

    @TVGenius: My though exactly!!!.
    First thing I though was you NEVER put on of these on the side, they are not engineered to handle 120+ Lbs on the plastic side of it. The Frikking base is at the BASE....
    So I though maybe it's OK and the box does not say...
    NOPE. Sure enough the arrow is on the upper left of the box.


    I bet when they stack them, they lay them flat to save space. (another NO-NO).


    Idiots, just plain idiots....

    @aec007: Yeah, laying 'em flat is probably the worst of the ways to lay 'em, especially when shipping. Vibration and bumps will cause the glass to bow.


    Probably not too bad on the side; sure it's 120+ lbs., but the plastic is nicely ensconced in foam, so the lbs./in.^2 won't be too bad. Shipping them that way probably gets bad though.

    Nice try but no... Pioneer smoked anything and everything for color quality and black levels ohhh and speed. (Every Plasma is 480HZ) Plus none of that weird movie speed up and lag that 120Hz sets give out. Pioneer was the best and even now that they are out of the game they are still the best.

    In reply to Elite Racer Pro Is More Fun Than Watching Vin Diesel Act
    Sorry, but watching Tyrese and his angst-ridden persona of puerility street tough character in 2 Fast 2 Furious is way worse than watching Vin Diesel act. At least Vin Diesel can entertain while he snaps the neck of a batshark after eviscerating it, and staring with a listless yet angry stare into the dark with silver eyes.


    Boy, Pitch Black sure is old. Nuts to you Vin. XXX was a shitty movie, but that's more Rob Cohen's fault than yours. You were passable but forgettable in Boiler Room, but it was all Giovanni Ribisi, and that dude from Boston Public.

    @Kaiser-Machead: IMHO The only movies that Vin entertains are the ones where:


    1. He dies.


    2. Is "acting" in movies best suited for him. (The Pacifier)


    Not saying the other actors are any better, but it's fair to say that F&F movies are where actor's dreams go to die. But people don't really watch those movies for the acting, now do they?

    32 inches? Are they kidding me, only 32 inches? Like that's gonna give my peripheral vision any kind of VR thrill. Let me know when it gets up to at least 6 feet.

    In my Castro Street neighborhood, anything more than 8" gets you into, uh, "movies".
