Review: The guy who commented before is wrong. Xbox live is only $50 a year for just the subscription. For $70 you get a rebate, head set, ethernet cable, and the $50 13 months of Xbox Live time.

Review: This article is great and everything, except that you can't buy an Xbox 360 anywhere. Believe me I've tried. Unless you want to pay over $800 on eBay, you are going to have to wait a long time before you can get your hands on one. How come this was not mentioned in the article. Does anyone know where I can get my hands on one? I am willing to pay above retail.

Review: A few more comments on the article: 1) Burnout Revenge is also available on PS2 and the original Xbox. A mild graphical upgrade is no reason to buy a new system when you can play it perfectly well on your old console. 2) Several of the recommended titles (Kameo, Ridge Racer 6, etc.) were met with generally lackluster reviews by the popular gaming press. There's no reason to buy an expensive new system when your old console has perfectly good (perhaps even better) new exclusive games coming out all the time.

Review: This is pretty much last year's news recycled. I thought a weekly magazine would have more up-to-date coverage.

Review: Wow. That was a miserable article. As the other comment points out there are several errors in it: Xbox Live Gold shouldn't cost you more than $50/year; it doesn't come with a DVD remote; and if they were dumbing down the article this much, they should've mentioned that in order to access Xbox Live you need a high speed Internet connection. Overall, seemed like a lousy article written by someone who doesn't really have a clue about video games. They suggest Zuma Deluxe, but then leave off Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. Bleh.

Review: Couple of mistakes in this article: 1. The free media remote with the premium version of the console was a limited-time offer at launch. I'm pretty sure Microsoft is no longer including it. 2. Xbox Live is $70 a year to play games online against other people. All the other things your writer mentioned (downloading demos, watching trailers, posting high scores) are free if you hook your console up to the Internet and create a free Xbox Live Silver account.
