I'm wondering, though, if they'll be all reactionary like they were 3 months after the first one released and deep cut the prices to try and get 'em off the store shelves. Great as this thing may be, I can't see shelling $400 for anything with the paltry list of games currently available. Got burned with that torch the first time around. Maybe when my box nears the end of its one year warranty I'll trade it up.

Damn... does this mean I have to turn in my 'consumer whore' membership card? :]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/
I'm not sure about everyone else but I don't have a problem with the box looking not very good. After all, you buy it for the product and that is what will sit in the sitting room - not some box which will be thrown in a cupboard and forgotten about until you move house.

Seriously, if this is all you can complain about then Microsoft appear to have done a good job.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/I just don't see why the power adapter is a big complaint, it's going to be behind the stand/ table/ TVunit anyway.
I think it's goo that they give u the remote w/ the 360, rather then go out to buy a $30 remote/adapter to play SOME dvd's...]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/

Plus: I hate it that they only ship with one controller. El Cheapo, and certainly doesn't send the vibe that it is actually "fun" to play with people in the same room. I wasn't going to buy one anyway.

I don't see the power cord or battery in the picture. If not, there goes another $20.

I am so far impressed with the 360. I had a chance to play Call of Duty the other day, and I am now finding it hard to contain myself but I must wait for PS3.

I also totally agree with Tucker the idea of bringing out a HD game system w/out DVI or HDMI just seems plain stupid at this point....Why Microsoft Why?
