xbox 360 - first thoughts

Now I have an xbox360, and a few games thanks to the promotional deals on at the moment.

Interesting product. Great out of the box experience so far.

The signing up for xbox live is a bit of a long winded task with the xbox controller. Perhaps it's easier to do on a computer and then simply log in using the xbox.

3 software updates downloaded and installed on the first day. I expect this is pretty standard.

I'm pretty impressed at how quickly game results appear on xbox.com - albeit the xbox.com website is terribly slow (must be running on microsoft software... tehehe)

Nice to see that the network support is easy to use. Pity that they only have media sharing software for microsoft windows based pcs.... but... that is microsoft.

I'll be sure to try out some of the Mac and Linux based media sharing apps soon, and will post how it goes.
