Happy Birthday, Xbox 360

It's hard to believe, but five years ago the Xbox 360 was released in North America. Since then we've seen several hardware revisions, an impressive failure rate, and a ton of great games. We'd love to hear your thoughts on the anniversary, the platform, and anything else you have to say about Microsoft's console.

Personally, I was on the fence about it for a long time. By the time I decided to pick one up, it was nearly impossible to find. That was fine by me, because I was planning to get the Elder Scrolls: Oblivion at launch and it was delayed. Thanks to Bethesda, I ended up getting Condemned: Criminal Origins instead.

Anyway, I've had a lot of fun with the console over the years. It gave me an excuse to get an HDTV, and achievements have changed the way I play games -- for better or worse.

What are your thoughts on the 360? You have the floor.
