As I've said in previous posts, our Xbox 360 was purchased for Christmas over a year ago. We had not even considered purchasing the Xbox 360 until we learned that Final Fantasy XIII was to be released on multiple platforms. Our biggest reason for choosing the Xbox over the PS3 is that it has the ability to stream Netflix movies directly to the TV. (This is something the PS3 can do now, but was not available at the time we were considering the purchase). The streaming ability of Netflix is awesome, but we are not big fans of watching movies on the computer. We had been procrastination on purchasing a wireless adapter, and failed to do so mainly because we just never thought to when we were out and about shopping.
This year for Christmas we recieved the wireless adapter for our Xbox from my parents. Out of all the gifts we've received, this is the one we put to use first. It fits securely in the back of our Xbox and stays out of the way. We set up our Xbox Live membership, and can now watch any Netflix movie or TV show that is available for instant streaming. Hopefully this will help with checking off some movies from the list I must watch for my 101 things. This also enabled us to access downloadable contents for Dragon Age: Origins, and will probably provide us with the motivation to purchase some massive multiplayer online games. I don't even know why we waited so long in obtaining this. If you have an Xbox 360 and aren't online yet, I would recommend a wireless adapter. No messy cords to trip over, and it is easy to set up.
Readers: Any of you Xbox 360 users out there? What games do you like to play online? Any recommendations?
