So, I have a 360

In light of that nice price drop, I picked up a Premium bundle at Future Shop. Came with Forza 2 and Splinter Cell: Double Agent at no additional cost. Everything looks so nice and sharp on an HDTV, you really notice it when compared to the Wii. Of course, you also notice how much crappier it is to navigate menus and the like without just pointing.

I'm really liking XBL so far. It tells me whenever anyone playing anything is online or wants to chat, and I can do voice chat with someone regardless of what either of us is doing. I can look at what they're doing now, what games they have and what they've accomplished in each game. I can tell already that I'm going to care about achievement points more than I really should.

I'm not far enough in either game to really make solid comments yet, but they both seem pretty good thus far. Eternal Sonata looks amazingly pretty, realism is nice but this thing produces fantastic cartoon cel-shading. Bioshock, from the demo, looks crazy violent and pretty interesting.

Anyone else here have a 360? I was never compelled to really get an Xbox, but the 360 has some pretty good titles this gen and a great online system.
