Xbox 360 (4 hours of use review)

I don’t know why. Well, I do. But still. I now have an Xbox 360. The reason? Because I wanted good racing games, and HD games for my HDTV. I will run down a list of my likes a dislikes after using it for the first 4 hours.

Likes:

• HD Graphics and 5.1 Audio
• Wide variety of games
• Ability to stream music from my mac during gameplay (connect360 app required)
• Free downloadable demos of most games. Try before you buy is nice.
• Online play

Dislikes:

• Gigantic power supply
• Very loud console
• It brought Microsoft into my Apple house :(
• Signing up for xbox live is a pain, you have to sign up for just about every M$ product ever created.
• Very lacking in the storage department... 20GB?? what is that?

Overall: I wanted to play good racing games that also looked great, and this system does that. Mission accomplished, for now. Further reviews will come as I get to know the system better.
