Buddy4point0 your so missing out! there have been some great games on the 360 already.
Developers just love developing for an easy system(slight jab at the ps3 there)
but i reckon forza 2 would sell 360's as well if they advertised it on tv and the likes, but real gamers have known about this for months.


oh and bring on HALO 3 YAY
