My views on the Xbox 360

Yesturday I decided to say "Fuck Sony" and bought a 360. I got to admit, I was abit of a Sony fanboy so was gearing up for the PS3 but after hearing so many disappointing things about it, I decided to go for one of these.

First things first, the staff at the shop treated me like royality when I said I wanted to buy one. There was a queue that was about a mile long, and I just cut infront, lovely.

I had heard jokes about the weight of the console and good god it's a heavy bastard, no wonder they say in the manual not to let it fall on little children.

When I finally got it home and connected I was really impressed by the design of the menu's and stuff. So slick and easy to access everything with loads of stuff to do. Last night I managed to be on the console for about 3 hours without even touching a game I'd bought.

The graphics are really impressive, even on the non-HDTV I'm using, must be great to play on one of those, better start saving.

It was stupid easy to connect to Xbox live. I remember having so much trouble hooking up my PS2 for online gaming, but this was a piece of cake. Haven't actually played a game on it yet, but have downloaded stuff from there and the download speed seems pretty good.

Got two games in the bundle I bought but they gave me a third one free. The games I got were: Perfect Dark Zero, Top Spin 2 and Burnout Revenge.

The one problem I see at the moment is how hot the fucker gets when your using the console. I have never known an appliance pump out so much heat other than an oven! I've seen a cooling fan is available, so I think I might buy one of them. Don't wanna melt my console or burn a hole in my carpet.

If anyone is in two minds about getting a 360, they really shouldn't be. It's an amazing piece of kit, well worth the money you pay I think. It's got some great games coming up so I would invest in one before they go at the christmas rush.
