One new bit of info (new to me anyway) confirmed here is that all XBox 360's come with at least a 20GB HDD.

I have to admit, the exterior design doesn't look as bad as it looked before. It seems the power button is recessed which makes it look kinda wierd from pictures without shadowing.

I'm not sure about the white controller. The thing is gonna get real dirty real fast, with our greasy fingers handling them. Videogames are best coupled with KFC.

The desing's not bad, but it's not 'good' either IMO. Not sleek. Not swish. Not overly practical with the HD tagged on either.

BTW Anyone got any direct links to the MTV movies of PGR3 and others? I've searched and searched and found absolutely nothing, clicking links and using the site search.

I would've loved the design if they took out the concave nature of the face plate.

The DC controller fared pretty well, the machine itself didnt though. The controller looks like an oogly 3rd party effort though.

You could also visit Xbox360.com. They have different angles of the unit and controller.

As for the controller? My only worry is the four major button. It seems they're place the same way as the old one. Which is not the best way for fighting games where you have to slide your thumb side to side. I prefer the flatter four major button on DS2. And it was more effective (comparing to S controller) in terms of response and sensitivity. But of course I won't know till I actually tried it out myself.

what do you mean ? How the top and bottom flare out ?

Yeah I would've liked it if the front face plate is just rectangular than vase shaped.

God, these launch games look terrible. Couldn't they get Tim Sweeney to run an UE3 demo or something?

Nope.

UE3 is a DOG.

I've seen it in person on a 6800Ultra, it runs about as well as those choppy PDZ videos but looks 10x better, and there's no reason you can't show cut-down tech-demo levels.

Another thing... That huge green ON/OFF button seems very... big and bright... I HATE led light in a dark room while i'm playing games or DVDs... Even PS2 ones are already too much already.

and let me say again. the XBOX360 is BIG

its practicly the same size as the old XBOX on his side!
