Well Mati could not resist any more, he went and bought an XBox 360. He got the complete pack with 2 games, Moto GP and Ninety Nine Knights. In addition I bought Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (GRAW) and Table Tennis. First impression of the console are that it definitely puts out HD right, DVD play back is better than my media center which is to be expected since I’m not upscaling to HD except when I use TheatreTek.
The games look great, still trying to work out how they play. quite like the Table Tennis and GRAW. Dead Rising is out next week, and hence the reason my brother has bought the console since he reckons that it will be the best 360 game to date. He has been playing demo’s at a friends place. Most of his friends already have 360s since they are all in the game business like him.
XBox Live is also vastly improved and the Marketplace is really well implemented, I think Sony are going to have a real hard time beating it. The dash board has changed greatly from the original XBox it running in the background properly and is available even whilst a game is running which is spot on. you can even have multiple conversation going on, the first channel is the in-game channel. In addition you can talk on other channels to other people in your friends list. The hooks for the new webcam which is due out soon can be seen in the UI. I haven’t played with the media center extender yet, but I will do at some point.
