I have long wanted to buy a next generation console. Not because there are any games that I must play but simply because I want one. And the next generation console that I wanted to buy was a X360. Why? Well, because my brother has one but also because the PS3 is just too shiny and I absolutely hate the Sixaxis-controller. And the Wii doesn’t look next-gen enough.

One of the reasons that I haven’t bought one yet, apart from the fact that I have already completed the only good game on the console, is the general and persistent stories I hear about boxes that fail, die, jam or simply just explode.
Interviews like this one doesn’t help credibility either.

Well, now Microsoft finally did something to easy the problem. Namely a three year warrenty on all machines.
This makes me happy, that they are at last doin something. Also Peter Moore send out an open letter that never really says that they are sorry, but it is probably the closest we will get.

Now I just need that HD-TV, a more permanent place to live, a job and that some interesting games released, and I am all set to go next gen.
