    Xbox360 contains bugs like in windows where you need to keep updating it. It overheats alot and crashed alot. While I was playing it, it shutdown for no reason and I have to play from the beginning of the level. I might as well get a PS3 instead, at least I don't need to keep updating up and waiting for level to load. Xbox360 is not worth it as some of the games are available on the PC, xbox and ps2.

    The zune doesn't last more than 3 hours compared with ipod lasting about 20 hours for the whole day. Zune is heavier than ipod as well.

    Anyone using Azureus ? (A Java Bit Torrent Client)
    AZUREUS releases new Version 3.0 Beta version and raises $12 million.
    The early user reviews doesn't sound promising though.
