The X-box push

I think I finally have the wife convinced that we need a X-box 360. I have found a great deal on the 60GB at Target in this weeks add and I plan to go and buy it this week. We recently dropped our direct TV service because I have decided it is stupid to pay for TV when it is available for free.  One big sale on the X-box is the ability to download movies from Netflix for $8.99 a month. Does anybody know how much it cost for X-Box live? I know I will also need this for my gaming system to get Netflix. The wife is afraid she will be regreting the purchase. Please help me sell her on it.

Well, I for one, am a fan of this idea. The xBox is a lot of fun and has thousands of games available. It is very cool to be able to play online with your cousins from California and even talk to each other from the headsets. And of course, the clincher is being able to "watch instantly" from your Netflix account (over 10,000 titles available). See my blog post about the magic of "Watch Instantly": http://www.adearone.net/2008/11/netflix-watch-instantly.htm

All this and you get to make an avatar! http://www.adearone.net/2008/11/digital-me.htm

Note to Kristina: There are thousands of old movies on Netflix!! Score!
