Guilty of going of topic - XBOX 360

I am a very sad game-a-holic!  I've pretty much had every console and computer gaming device.  From ZX81 to Commodore 64 and Sinclair Spectrum through the Amiga to a PC.  I then had a Super-NES, Sega MegaDrive, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2 and XBOX!

I love XBOX - mainly for XBOX live - particularly the American Football games - I was #1 for sometime on NFL 2k4 but unfortunately lost that due to the fact I had a life, job and (understanding) wife.

The Xbox 360 is going to be amazing - I've been grabbing a few quick games in our Reading office where we have some. 

Even though I work for Microsoft we don't get any deal on getting them cheaper/quicker :( So I'm in the queue like everyone else - hoping it'll arrive as near to launch as possible!!!

The great news is that it looks like many old games will be compatible : https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilityqa.htm 

Plus the launch lineup looks awesome! https://www.microsoft.com/uk/press/content/presscentre/releases/2005/11/PR03544.asp 

All my favourites there - Madden, Fifa, Project Gotham - Christmas is going to be great!

The other thing that is really superb about XBOX 360 is the fact that you can use it as a media centre extender so I can stream TV, Video, Pictures and music from my Media Center in the lounge to my study!!!

Counting down the days.....
