XBox 360 out soon
I'm trying to think of some reasons why I NEED (aka - can use to justify to Kim) purchasing this $400 upgrade to my entertainment center. I've got (and love) the Xbox and I'm sure that there are some compelling reasons why I need the new one:
- new, better looking games (but I don't have a HD TV so that feature is lost on me)
- wireless controllers (but I can get this for my existing Xbox without spending $400)
- play my images and DVDs (but my DVD player does this already)
- super cool b/c it's new! (yup, but Kim's not biting)
OK - Microsoft has done a good job of creating some amazing looking websites but they've not really gone the extra mile to convince me what features the new Xbox has that I just can't get in my current model. It looks like the smart money is on me not actually buying the new Xbox until mine either dies an unfortunate death or I can come up with something really good that let's Kim know how much I need the new Xbox. Alternatively, I could make $400 on my own somehow...
