You have the NESes. 8-bit. 2D. Slow. Square. And then you have… the XBox 360s. Life-like graphics. Fast. Can connect to the internet. Can play DVDs on them. Worth a lot. Has a cool accessory called kinect. I like people who are XBox 360s. I’ve noticed that the straightdope has a high amount of this type. That’s awesome. The SDMB rocks! 🙂 ---
