I have had my Xbox 360 for about a week now, received in the second shipment from ebgames. I still have not hooked it to the internet. I have had no reason to so far. With the wireless adapter running at $100 it may be quite sometime before I do. The only reason I would personally connect for is to download demos or patches.
My daughters and I have been playing PGR and it is a great game. The graphics are spectacular as well as the number of options in cars. I should mention my oldest daughter is only 6 and she does quite well at it.
The main reason I personally decided to pickup the xbox was cause consoles have finally surpassed afordable computers in power. I mean the graphics card for my computer alone was $300 so whats $400 for a fully functioning console? Not that I'll be give up my computer anytime soon. Also it seems many of the game developers I really enjoy, like Bioware, are starting to create console only games. The PC Game market as been slow at best.
