Full disclosure - I started gaming on an Atari 2600 back in 1981. I survived the "crash" of 83 with my twitch reflexes intact, though I didn't get an NES until summer 1988 (my parents bought it for me after finishing sixth grade). The only Nintendo consoles I didn't own were the Virtual Boy and Wii. I had a PS1 and a PS2 and loved both.
I went with Xbox 360 this last generation because
1) the PS3 was WAY overpriced, tried to do too much, and reeked of Sony trying to dictate to the market with its overhyped "Cell" processor
2) Xbox Live looked awesome
3) Call of Duty 2
4) A little Gran Turismo replacement called Forza 2
Even with the red ring of death, I have not regretted it, or the money sunk into Xbox Live. There have been some amazing games on the system that I have thoroughly enjoyed. And playing with my friends all over the country (and in some cases, world) was a blast.
But Microsoft has gone too far. They've made the mistake of clarifying the rumors, and the ones I find the most irksome and unsettling are the always online requirement and the burdensome requirements for sharing/used games.
It was a great ride, MS, don't get me wrong. But unless your system undercuts the PS4 by 200 bucks, there's no way I'm getting an X-Bone.
And Sony, if you're listening, if you pull the same crap with PS4, I just won't get either until one or the other cuts the crap.
I've got a Wii U and I LOVE it. I would eventually like a Blu-Ray playing console, though. So the first company that ditches these draconian measures gets my wife's hard-earned money.
It's time to part with our lovely XBOX and HALO. It's available in my shop at www.ccstudio2380.com
Thanks, Chris

The light projected on Jason reminds me of ritualistic face and body paintings found in other parts of the world. For some, the XBox 360 is a way of life. For those that also have the Kinect, they will probably never be aware of how their face and body is being painted with infrared light as they engage in games.
I recently bought a used Canon 300D camera that had been converted for dedicated infrared use. I intend on using it primarily for landscapes during the spring and summer time. But as I initially played around with the camera one evening, I was confused when I saw many bright points of light on back of the camera with its low quality LCD. It looked like noise and I thought maybe something was wrong with the camera. I took a number of pictures anyway before looking at them more closely on the computer. But when I opened up this picture, I was REALLY surprised. It took a moment to realize what it was. We recently purchased an XBox 360 Kinect. Apparently it emits a dazzling array of infrared light to track a game player's movement.
Infrared tends to make people eyes look a bit evil and unflattering, so I made them look more normal. I wasn't initially going to post this image since it was more of a snapshot, but it has grown on me and I have never seen anything quite like it.
The flare came from a candle that is just out of frame on the lower left. Multi-coatings have little effect on infrared light in preventing flare. I learned that I need to use a lens hood on the camera even while inside! The only light illuminating this scene was the XBox 360 Kinect, a candle, and a 40watt CFL from the other room. Fluorescent and CFL bulbs put off very little infrared light, so this ended up being an 8 second exposure. Jason did pretty good at holding still for that long!
If you are wondering what is on the plate, it is a carmel apple that he was sitting down to enjoy.
The camera is a Canon Digital Rebel converted for infrared use by Life Pixel with their standard IR filter, which cuts off at about 720nm.
