I have a bud here at work that was very excited to buy a 2nd 360. His 12 year old son and he play a lot of split-screen co-op games... but this generation it seems that split-screen is being dumped in favour of online only multiplay. He bought the 2nd Xbox and a 2nd copy of some of their favourite games so they could play those together.

Today he came by to tell me that he sold it. I was baffled since he told me he was so happy with the purchase. Turned out he had bought a third one on a deal and had flipped that one, not his 2nd one.

I keep pinging him. He keeps telling me it was money well spent. My oldest is 6 years old and he's not quite into the same games I am yet. But maybe we'll do something similar next gen. The thing that really kills me is the 2nd copy of the game. If they would let me play both consoles on one copy of the game, I would probably have already picked up a 2nd unit just for people coming over and stuff like was said.
