I've now heard more than 1 person other than me say that some of the street battles are eriely similiar to the bank heist scene in the Movie Heat
Haha, I know who one of them are. The Casino Vault and Border Town totally come to mind.
I've had both games for at least a week, and I can tell you this: I've spent 30 minutes playing GOW, and 4 days playing R6V, and that's not including the several nights that I did not sleep at all because I was playing it.
R6V is addicting as hell. It's tactical, it's realistic, and it's so much fun. There's 10 maps I think, several different game modes, and lots of customizable functions. Just make sure you join Player Games and not Ranked Games (Ranked kicks everyone out to the main menu after game completion, I guess to prevent ranking up?).
It can take a little time to get in a game (if you join a game in progress, you have to spectate until the end), but once you get in a good room, you'll be there for hours.
I absolutely love my 360. Every day I find some new amazing sh*t it does, and it just blows my mind that the PS3 is so much higher in price. I got the high-end 360, R6V, Live Vision Camera and the Wireless Mic all for less than the high-end PS3.
If you're considering buying the Vision Camera (which allows you to send picture & video messages, as well a map your face to your MP character), check this deal at Bestbuy out. It's the camera, an extra headset and a year of XBox Live Gold for $80.
Also, you can reserve your gamer-tag at Xboxlive.com

It's funny when I mention how awesome My 360 is to my friends that are way Biased and only want or have a PS3. Whenever I say, this or that, is so cool , I get nothing but silence for a response. Which makes me talk about it more .
And Yes my 360 does continue to Amaze me everyday.
Yeah, I used to be one of those guys, but seeing is believing. After reading that the PS3 online service is essentially a glorified version of the PS2 online service, I lost all interest.
If it's one thing I want them to get right, it's online, because that's what I do more than anything. When I get a new game, I may play through single player once, so multiplayer is very important to me.
I can understand the differences in graphics in titles that are on both systems right now. PS3's fresh and new, and it'll be at least a year until developers really have the hang of it and can start pushing it's limits. But I doubt that PS3 online will ever come close to XBL.
As far as I can tell, you can do pretty much anything with XBL. And aside from 2 instances, I've experienced no lag at all online. It's insane to think of it, having been 'raised' on Socom online, but to see no lag in such deep & rich environments is astonishing.
And then going back to Socom for a night, putting a clip into a guy, me dying and then the guy dying 30 seconds later. It's priceless.

I've had one instance of Lag on R6 , the day after it came out. But I've had few very laggy games when playing Madden 07 online for 360. But still it wasn't anything like I've experienced on Socom.
It's funny how it's not Socaine anymore, Now it's S.O.L.O.N.G.

I agree with both of you... my 360 continues to amaze me each and every day. I'm so much happier now that I realized I could change my Xbox 360's console settings to a 1080i setting. Felt like such a dummy for playing it so long on the 480p setting... mostly because at the time I first got my 360, I had yet to own a HDTV.
But it's like the (new) Xbox 360 commercials state - "The next generation is playing online with your friends." I couldn't agree with that statement any more than I already do...

You're welcome, NUN!
They just added the 1080i console setting with the most recent dashboard update... and I am so glad that they did this upgrade. It's like night and day with the difference in picture quality...
