Got my Xbox 360

[KneeCo]

Got my Xbox 360 this morning (won it in a contest, hence getting it a week before the street date).

It's pretty cool, only played for a bit with the game they sent me.

The thing is a serious machine though. The plug looks like it was made to power a nuclear reactor, the controller is battery operated and wireless (which is actually annoying IMO, I'd rather have to put up with the wire and now worry about running out of battery power, plus the bats make the controller is a little heavy) and the system itself is far removed from the light plastic grey box I remember video game systems being.

The whole thing makes me nostalgic for the games of yesteryear. :P

Like many on this board, I used to be a gamer (though not as much as many of you), and kind of left it by the wayside when I got into poker.

In any case, the system is nice, the graphics look good and everything loads in lightening speed and all that stuff. Those of you who pre-ordered it probably wont be disappointed.
