Got this from off the internet thought it would be nice to share with you guys.

Other than being one of the longest articles on seven things the Xbox 360 does well, Firing Squad makes an interesting and thorough case regarding the key selling points of the Xbox 360. From the article: "Despite some initial launch stumbles and a lukewarm reception to the Xbox 360 in Japan, we still remain optimistic about the Microsoft Xbox 360's success worldwide... When discussing the features that the Xbox 360 does better than the competition, virtually all of the strengths are gaming related."

The seven points that make their list are as follows:

1. Well-balanced development environment
2. Wireless controller
3. Free Downloadable Demos
4. Always On" Xbox Live
5. WMA/MP3 playback with Online Metadata
6. High-Definition Media Center Edition Extender
7. High-Definition Gaming

You haven't been playing for any gamerscore in a while. That's all I do is get gamerscore once I have gotten all the gamerscore from one game I stop playing it and move on to another game.
