My Xbox360 arrived this afternoon. Brother and roommate are currently playing with it. Mildly excited.


In my excitement..... never realized that MXPX was beating me to the punch. So this is now a redundant thread. Powers that be, please lock, delete and destroy or whatever you do. Thanks Adam!!!

This was what ivan was talking about,but congratulation, add me at quezcatol later when i have mine.

Congratulations...now being yer not a big MS fan I' d be happy to come right over and take that ' piece of junk right off yer hands'

Being the launch games arnt gonna be to glorious how would you rate the ones you got...actually how would you rate the system itself?

We ended up getting Kameo with it today, and the gaurentee that a second game will be shipped with in the next two weeks.

Ok, since I haven' t gotten mine yet, and only got to go see my brother in laws, and since he wouldn' t let me play Kameo, I can only say that the system looks great. Sounds silly, but I thought it' d be shinier. The power source is huge. Think 2 litres of milk and you' re in the ballpark. High (and I mean high) quality cables. The HD cables that come with it feel like monster cables. The remote looks nice. It will collect dust well. Last, the Controller. It really is as nice as people say. It feels so nice in your hands. One complaint though, and this will really get Joe and Terry angry with it, the d-pad sucks in my opinion. It feels like it' s going to just pop out at any moment. Seriously, why can' t a company just look at an original NES or SNES and copy the dpad exactly???? I did manage to see some of the boot up screens before I had to leave, and it all looks real nice. What' s interesting, is that (with Kameo at least) when you go to save your game, it' s not an ingame save screen. Instead it pops out to the system ' blades' and saves it. Makes it feel very different even though it seems like a little thing. The other game we' re supposed to be getting is either Madden, or Need for speed. I' ll be taking whichever it is in to Wal-Mart along with Kameo (since my brother in law has it), trading it in for in store credit, and buying Perfect Dark Zero, and either king Kong, or Call of Duty 2.

One complaint though, and this will really get Joe and Terry angry with it, the d-pad sucks in my opinion.

I checked out the controller with the 360 version of Need for Speed but didn' t have a chance to get a feel for the d-pad in a gameplay environment, so I have no idea much better or worst it is compared to the original Xbox controller' s d-pad.

The 360 does support USB devices right? If so, import Sega Saturn USB pad here I come!(for 2D style games)

From the pictures at E3 I' m sure the pads and console were more ' PS3 silver' than the white they have become. I' ve not seen a 360 close and personal yet but the 360 tour rolls into Leeds on Friday. I' ll be popping down after work I reckon and get a good look myself.

How' s the graphics on Kameo? It look Next Gen?

Paul I like it a million times more than the Xbox (but most people know how much i am not a fan of the Xbox). It is definitely sleaker and sexier. I' d give it a 9. I do approve of the controller as well. Sorry, gotta run.... graphics thumbs up for sure. More later.

I haven' t had a chance to see the game in action for anything more than 20 seconds. Tomorrow I believe we' re bringing it to my house and hooking it up on my hi def tv, so I' ll give it a graphics review then.

Oh so lucky! *jealous, jealous, jealous*
