Interesting, Where did you purchase the xbox?
BestBuy. They have a holiday bundle for $250 for a 250GB Xbox console, with a download code for Skyrim and a driving game as well. Not sure if they were still offering it, but it was quite a deal for me, especially since I was mainly planning on playing Morrowind on it. I like having Skyrim as a download because now I don't have to put a disc in to play Skyrim. It took almost two hours to download it though on my DSL line.
I hardly use the PS3 anymore, although I still prefer the PS3 controller to the Xbox. I am always going into favorites on the Xbox when all I want is a hotkey because the Xbox has only one button for the Dpad, whereas the PS3 has seperate buttons.
