    Dude Battlefield 3 is multi platform.

    Games are always going to look better on PC, but those couple of polygons aren't worth the continual hassle of dealing with the pc upgrades and patches.

    Haha, well thats kind of my point exactly. Why would i compare pc exclusives to console exclusives? Also i have a relatively good pc the only thing i have had to upgrade in the last 3 years is my Graphics card. And yeah to me... the extra polygons are worth it. Its not a thing that makes or break it for me in a game, but it is one aspect that I judge a game on.

    But that wasn't the only thing.... 40 extra people is a big difference in gameplay. Please don't get me wrong I love my xbox, its my primary gaming machine, but 5 years is long time for a technology of its nature to be around.

    Gir, I have bad news, they want to keep the 360 for at least 3 years!
    (They said 5, I don't think that it will be their main console for all that time)

    I think they mean the life cycle of the xbox 360 will be another 5 years. Microsoft want to keep the xbox 360 going until 2015. This isn't suprising considering the ps2 is still selling even though the ps3 has been out for years. This in no way means the next generation of console will not come out before then.

    I am ready for a new Xbox. The fact of the matter is that one can not linger with things such as this. No serious PC gamer will upgrade only every 5-10 years! Can't wait to hear its name and what it will look like. This is going to be the longest 2-3 years of my life.

    And that last sentence: Overheating problem.

    I've had 4 Xboxes now due to overheating and DVD Rom failure... FIX IT.

    I've been damn lucky, I had a core xbox 360 [not even made anymore], bought a new one for the HD connection, both are still working fine.

    Let just hope its not called the 720.
