XBOX 360 is amazing!

My wife was gracious enough to buy me an XBOX 360 for Christmas this year. This thing is totally amazing. I have been playing a PS2 for a few years now and had only briefly gotten to play the 360 here and there. Once I got it all setup and started to run it through a few games that I picked up, all I could say was “Wow!”.

What I like about it

First, the graphics are simply amazing. After playing the PS2 for a while, jumping to the 360 is like moving from a Civic to a Ferrari. Playing Madden now is just so much better that it is almost too much to comprehend. Start-up time is quick, the dashboard interface is laid out really well, and keeping track of game play and other stuff is a breeze. Finally, the wireless controller rocks! Being able to play from anywhere in the room is cool, as I am not limited to sitting right near the console to play.

What I don’t like about it

The controller itself is a little sketchy. I do like the wireless part, but the button layout could have been much better I think. I also think that it is a little too thick and could have been slimmed down just a bit. Next, the console is freaking loud! It sounds like a jet about to take off while it is running. I am sure it takes some really heavy air flow to cool this thing, but it is a little loud for me.

All in all, the 360 is completely insane! I have yet to play XBOX Live but I will be doing that as soon as I get my network adapter for the wireless network in my house. I am certainly happy with the 360 as a whole, now I just have to put it through some work and hope that it hangs in there to be a great gaming console.
