Well following on from my "Xbox 360 - Already hanging" thread, I thought it'd be a good idea to post a thread from the other side :D
Sure the first Xbox360 had a problem, but I can only guess that I was one of the 5-10% of people that had a duff console.

So here's a nice friendly list of everthing I like about my new toy:
  • Wireless controller - superb feel, fantastic button placement. Doubt this format could ever be improved in its current form!
  • COD2 & Condemned - fantastic so far. Smooth frame-rates and top-of-the-range PC style graphics.
  • Looks superb even over RGB on a standard CRT. Will have to wait 3 weeks for my Hi-Def LCD to be delivered, toooo long :(
  • Dolby Digital sounds awesome, almost soiled my undercrackers playing the first level of Condemned in the dark last night :eek:
  • Xbox Live & Dashboard - really impressed, nicely integrated. So easy to download videos / game demos.

Downsides? Well it is slightly noisey, but once the volume is up to a reasonable level on the TV then you don't notice it, especially with DD5.1 on the go :D

So so far I'm very glad I bought it, I was a bit worried the initial games would be buggy and distinctly average. But so far I've got two cracking games, and i'm looking forward to buying Kameo and PGR3 in the next week or so, then much more in the upcoming months!!

Yeah, what's happened to you mate? Checked your name on my list thing and it's been ages since you were last on.

back on topic: very very pleased with the xbox. Have 5 games and i'm torn between which to play every time i turn it on. So glad i returned mine to MS..haven't had a single problem since. On the HD Samsung it looks awesome too...colours are so vibrant (especially in Kameo) and coupled with 5.1 has positively turned me off from PC gaming.

Had the speakers up almost full whack last night playing PGR.... :eek: :D

You got the 26" or 32" Sammy then?
Got mine on order now :D
