Yeah, I picked up my 360. Boy was I happy just looking at the box as I preceded to the checkout. Then the cash register ringed up the total. With the 2 year warranty, plus two games and the play and charge kit, it cost me more than that premium PS3 and then some. Which I guess was to be expected, but damn this thing better be worth it!
But yeah, back to that darn Y button. Why do you tease me like this Microsoft? I just wanted to play some Oblivion, but nooo, I cant hotswitch between my different weapons and spells, therefore making me go into the menu every time I want to do something different. Seriously, of all the problems to have, I get a broken button. I checked all over the internet for ppl with similar issues, but couldnt find anyone with a broken button out of the box. I guess I'll just have to go back to the store and ask for a replacement tommorow. Untill then, I'll be playing Ridge Racer 6, minus the ability to unleash a double or triple nitrous
Anyway, back to my initial impressions. First the graphics. Damn do they look good! Oblivion was stunning, and Ridge Racer 6 was looking good too. Ive yet to put in Ghost Recon, which came with the console, but I'm sure it will be impressive as well.
Next, the noise. Well its a little noisier than I thought. You can really hear those fans chuggin away inside, but its not a big issue, since I hooked up my ipod and pumped out Micheal Jacksons Billy Jean while drifting around hairpin turns
Would it be a cliche to mention how big the power brick is? I know it would be, but damn is that thing big!
A couple other things to mention but I'll save them for next time. Gears was supposed to be released yesterday, but the store told me they wernt getting their shipment until Thursday. I guess I'll pick it up when I take back my controller.
This entrys already gone far past what I expected in terms of length, but final thoughts are here!
- -The store where I got the 360 said they were getting 50 units of both the PS3 and Wii, which I thought was pretty high, but thats cool.
- -Ive been stuck at level 20 for like...ever.
- -It seems Gamespot enjoys taking away my emblems by the month. I once had a second row, but now theres only 1! Seriously i need more emblems..
- -Whoever is still reading gets pudding! Its only vannila though..
- -Gamespot Gearathon on Tuesday? Just some multiplayer fun if anyone wants.
Thx for reading!
