When it first came out I questioned getting it, because there weren't a lot of great games out, but now they are starting to really come out with some good titles. Plus it plays a lot of the old Xbox games. Add in the ability to play online and I give it a definite yes! If you get one, I would highly recommend getting "Burnout: Revenge" with it. Awesome game.
Also, for those who would like Hines on the cover...
I had a much better picture to work with on that one. I will make more "replacement" covers with different players if anyone wants them and can give me a link with a good high resolution photograph of the player in action.
