Nothing is really exciting to me anymore about the Xbox 360. I was really excited about 2 years ago when everything was in front of me but now that alot of things have come out and most of it was hype I'm somewhat disappointed. Overall I have to say the Wii is the only system that feels next gen, graphics to me don't count. Everyone look at the features of the original Xbox games. Clan support, most of the content was free, the ability to message all of your friends at the same time (Halo 2). And then you arrive at today where alot of the content now costs money, alot of games don't have clan support, and there are no more games with message everyone that I know about. My point here is the only thing next-gen here seems to be the marketplace, and my ability to find non game related content. The Xbox Live arcade was last gen. So this leads me to the fall update. Major Nelson I'm hoping for a major update not a minor update, like how about Live Anywhere for my windows mobile phone, what happened to that? I have a Windows Mobile phone but live anywhere for my phone never came out. How about the ability to download podcasts (video and audio) directly to my 360 from a podcast marketplace of free podcasts (just an idea), I'd love to download your awesome podcast to my 360 directly but alas you guys haven't added that function yet. How about a Xbox version of Sonys Home? A myspace style zone that your friends can mingle in, it would be cool. But how about the simple stuff, more than one person in a private voice and video chat or faster movement of the blades and upgraded video/audio/and photo blades. Anyways that is my 2 cents for at least a month, just thought I'd stop by and say I also appreciate everything you've done for the commuity and you should get a Justin.tv lifecast. It is open to everyone www.justin.tv. Check it out everyone would love you for doing it.

Conan Demo was awesome loved it. I think Claudia Black sold it for me plus cutting both arms off very sweet!

This list will get very interesting when all the good games like Call of Duty, Mass Effect and GTA IV come out.

Orange box will debut at #2 or #3. Still though I don't think anything will beat Halo 3...its that good.

i disagree joergen, lots of demoes maybe, but that doesn't mean newbies. those are all new demoes of upcoming titles that seem interesting. i wont be picking up the simpsons beause EA couldn't beat us over the head with self promotion any harder if they actually went out of their way to. EA branded KRUSTY's, gas cylinders. madden-ing signs, 3 of them side by side for no reason.

i've never felt stronger in my conviction to boycott EA products as when i played that demo.

bladestorm's alright though. i spent 3 hours of my saturday conquering all of the map. caused no end of confusion for the second contract. every single french commander was in the only city left.

I was just going by what Major said on an old post. That is also how he explained why Halo 3 was not on the list a week or two ago.

Oh and maybe the newly released Orange Box didnt make last weeks top 10 because its actually the top 6 since four titles are FREE DEMOS. Think.

i was looking forward to hslo 3 as well, but i dont know , i think i might just be over fps titles. they have so much more capacity than they're utilising.

i want a non linear gaming experience, i've got a rocket launcher so that door is NOT locked. if i don't have a rocket launcher let's look for a window. deus ex managed it last century why did we return to closet like corridor shooters? i thought bioshock might bring it back but it's just as linear as halo is.

i'm sure i'm not alone in wanting games where I decide it's stealthy time, or when i feel like making a big bang to open a door i can. but until i'm making the damn things i guess i have nothing but disappointment ahead

I know I would be playing Orange Box (and Halo 3) but I haven't been able to find it anywhere...

You know, one day I think Major Nelson is going to post "FREE CANDY, HOUSES AND GAMES FOR ALL!" and people would still complain.

Jeez.

Orange Box is not listed cause this is LAST week , next week we have THIS week. Just like when Halo 3 came out or any other game for that matter.

Number 01 - what content on the original xbox are you on about? arcade games? maps? they take money to make and you aren't forced to buy them. The only downloadable content on the original xbox i remember is maps, and I never saw them for free unless it was months after release so they become free (which is the same on the 360). And yes you can message all your friends at once, but they made it a little harder because believe it or not people don't want to sign in and have 29 messages from someone like you where your complaining about this or that and how everything should be the way you want it. As for the Wii, everyone I know and have heard talking about their wii says it's been in a closet collecting dust for the past few months because it has no good games. Just like the ps3. Couldn't actually be bothered reading any more of your comment so I apologize but you bored me to fu***ng hell.
