This is exactly why I wouldn't get a 360. Yeah, you can send it into microsoft becuase of the nifty three year warrenty. It's after the three years that scares me. Sure there will be new consoles, but what am I to do with all the software I would have bought for the 360? I still play lots of games on my older consoles, it'd be a shame to get a 360, fall in love with the games, only to be unable to play them in the future.
