Got it!, Finally got my 360! Options

After several months of failed deliveries, broken promises and begging, my 360 touched down Last Friday. I decided to wait a week before giving the good news in case it crashed and/or caught fire like my first three V1 Xboxes. Like Paul's, my console fitted straight into my home network with no drama. I was able to stream music and pictures from my main PC with ease. Project Gotham 3 and Ghost Recon were stunning, as expected. What I wasn't prepared for was the slick dashboard and how it integrates all the features of the console. I like the way the system tracks all your acheivements in the games, and how you can view the progress of your buddies online. I'm currently looking forward to Test Drive Unlimited, a Massive Online Multiplayer Racing Game. Warcraft meets Gran Turismo .

Multiplayer Gears of War is the new Counterstrike. Jezza, Shaun and myself have been playing it alongside several other likeminded ne'er-do-wells. Mr Bell, in particular, deserves praise for his 4-in-a-row chainsaw bayonet rampage last week. Very messy...
