It's a decent deal, but most likely the new system is coming next year.

Hi `Mike & thanks for your post...There always seems to be something new coming next year or next month (LOL)...

I WANT IT NOW GENERATION ~> lol

So it would be like the day I got it ? It would already be out-dated (LOL)


I'm afraid `if I had a game system like above that I'd be addicted 4-Sure...But they sure look like they would be a lot of fun...I would love to try the new racing games...

Thanks again for your post + all your helpful posts to member's

The 360 has had a very long run, so the options to play would be there.

It's not TERRIBLE. But if you want the newest it isn't worth jumping on a deal like that

Thanks `Mike for sharing your knowledge The Bum's & I were talking about getting a system, but I will do more research...Bum `Mike said it would be best to wait until after the holidays for a better deal ? I don't know `if that's true or not ?

I hope other member's post their preference and share their experience knowledge on gaming...It just looks like a lot of super fun 4-Sure....

OK, whose next ? Who are our MCF Gamer's...
One thing I like about the above is that it states that you can play others from around the world (?) and we can race each other member's that are on the MCF ? & find out whose the best ?? LOL

I've had an xbox for a few years now and i think it's great. There are some good games and yes you can play others on the internet if you have xbox live which you have to buy seperately and isn't free. If you have the money to buy the games, you won't be bored for long

Hi `Jordan & thanks for your post/words. Yes, I noticed it's about $15 a month to play online, but there's 5 beachbum friends that I'd share the cost with `if I get one this year..


I've never really got bored in my life & have always found something to `do that I like...Since we got connected to the Web, I've never got bored...I love searching the web & learning about so many different things..Somethings I didn't want to learn about also (LOL)...I'm constantly amazed 4-Sure...

I'm just afraid I'd get addicted to racing games...I wish I could race live on the track, but it sure is cheaper racing online...How's life in your area ? Do you graduate next year ? Good to see you posts.
Peace/Out from `Space

I've had mine for a few years... I used to play a lot more in high school, my friends and I would usually play after football practice for a couple hours every night That was back when I had little to no homework, didn't work as much, and didn't have bills lol.

Now that I'm in college I just don't seem to have the time for it. I just noticed last month my gold membership renewed. Set me back about $60.. Totally forgot about the automatic renewal, I suppose I should probably enjoy it when I get time lol. And the games are usually too expensive for me to buy them new, so by the time the prices come down a little, my friends are already on to a different/newer game lol. I'm sure I'll play some Forza over winter break though

Thanks `Justin for your post. I know that I haven't had the time to play, but hope to in my future. I'd love to play the Fonza games & it sure looks like a lot of fun...Now my fun is the MCF ...I've been working double night shifts for close to 2 years paying for college etc, but I will go on a more normal shift after the first of next month...

I hope college is going good for you & I hope you get time to get back play'in some games & having some fun

Peace/Out from `Space
