First of all a BIG HI to everybody on the board... ...Now,i m planning to buy a Xbox360 in the very near future..lets say within a month or so...but it is one hell of a costly piece of machine with some really costly games ....so i would like to inquire about few things..... 1) Availability of games...i mean how readily they'll be available?? If a game launches world wide...when India get to see its release??? 2) I checked many threads and found that XBL is still not available in India...so,any idea when it will be available???(i know it's a bit stupid question...but i can't help myself.. ) 3)Durability of console....Read a lot about its breakdown so kinda worried about that also. I m really looking forward for replies guys so on the basis of it i can take a decision. I'll appreciate..

1. Most of the good games are available here either in stores or ebay.in....there will be some games that u wont find here....about releases, they come to india a while after they release elsewhere, if at all...if they're games published by microsoft (pgr, crackdown, halo, forza, mass effect, etc) they will have simultaneous release with the west
2. XBL is expected to be launched earliest in june....latest i would say november...but as u can see most of us use XBL already
3. the xbox 360 is a complex piece of hardware and there is always the possibility of something going wrong....but the one yr warranty will ensure that ur console will be replaced if anything goes wrong....the customer support is top notch.....after 1 year ur on ur own (unless they come up with a paid extended warranty option)
welcome to the boards
peace

Except for Gears Of War, I've so far not come across any game that makes X360 a must buy - better wait till the killer apps halo 3, GTA 4 or mass effect and forza releases and then based on how they fare, get your machine !
I still feel better games are still on PC ! So in case the above turns out to be damp, invest on a good gfx card or a killer PC and play your games at fraction of x360 game's price !
