Yes it should.
He's still new to this forum so I guess he doesn't know the rules quite well.
Hope the Moderators would give him some chance.

The 360 looks really amazing! Especially the games Kameo: Elements of Power and Halo 3 (will Halo 3 launch?), the 360 will have one of the biggest 3d party support and many games will be released, in fact the 360 have stolen some developers from Sony!I will buy this thing, and a Revolution too. Isnt the PS3... you know, will I have to spend 399 dollars on it, what is the price?
