I've had a difficult time with the Xbox 360. June of 2009 was the "last straw" and I sold my last broken 360 for scrap, sold all of my games, all of my accessories and even gave away my 360 stickers. At the time, I was so pissed at Microsoft for selling such rubbish to people. I wasted a ton of money on 360s for them just to break. My final system was an Elite, so that pissed me off even more. Now that 11 months have gone bye with no 360, I'm starting to miss my XBL friends, particularly my Halo group. We didn't even play Halo 3 for how great it was, because most of us were sick of Halo anyway and didn't even consider it a good game. We kept playing because of the close friendships we developed over the years going back to the original Halo. I keep watching videos on Halo Reach and it has my interest piqued. It actually looks like it might be a good game.

I'm going to spend the next few months trying to decide if I should pick up another Xbox 360 just to play one game. I'm perfectly happy with my PS3 and have even used the Wii more since the 360 left the house. I'll probably end up scraping together the money over the next few months and buy the guaranteed to brick system, but I'll feel like a real moron when it actually does red ring. There's certainly no doubt it my mind that it will. I'll never get my hands on a 360 that lasts longer than 12 months.
