Provided your XBox 360 doesn't Just Burn Up.  ;)  Judging by what I'm
hearing, people are returning them in droves because they're overheating
and failing.

Personally, I'll probably never buy a game console, partly because I
don't want to be tied into any single manufacturer's games, partly
because I don't see the need for a piece of dedicated hardware to do
what my PC can do (and probably do better most of the time), and partly
because I hate and detest game-console controllers.
