I bought the 360 premium, Live card, and the games he wanted. He tried it out for a couple nights then went back to PC gaming. Warcraft 3, Trackmania, L4D, COD 4 and WoW are his latest favorites.
So much for the influence of friends. He had to have one because they do. Now it will gather dust along with the Wii and PS3. Well, not so much the PS3, we watch a lot of Blue Ray movies on it. :)
