360: Less Huge

Right. That up there is actually an iframe. Didn’t even know Safari and Firefox chose to support that because I know I wouldn’t. Frames are evil yet Microsoft seems to like pushing them.

So anyway, if you want to add me to your friendlist on Xbox Live, here you have it, my gamertag. Wonderful isn’t it? ;) I must say, even though I’ve always hated the old coffee table errr… Xbox, I do like Xbox Live. The possibility to very easily play with your friends online, have instant access to voice chat etc did change my way of console gaming. I really hope Sony will do something simular with their PS3. The new Xbox isn’t that much smaller than the old one though. It’s more an optical illusion. The design makes it more slim and doesn’t make you feel ashamed to put it in your living room.

Let’s also hope Japanese developers go crazy on the 360 though, because currently we really lack good titles. DOA4 is great, Ridge Racer 6 (still have to buy this one) looks amazing and Ninety-Nine Nights looks promising. But that’s not enough to justify the 400 Euro spent on the new console.

Nah, I’m quite happy with the 360. Only crashed 4 times already. That’s 4 times more than my PS2 though which I own a few years longer. But I must be fair, it all happened while playing demos that I downloaded, so I’ll blame those and the fact that it’s Microsoft, well, my Windows at work does crash at least twice a day… There’s no heat problem though, the brick stays cool and the 360 doesn’t get amazingly hot. My advice? If you ain’t got one, get one now. My friendlist is lonely :D

    FYI: you don’t have to use iFrame. Just go to http://www.mygamercard.net/ and knock yourself out ;)
