First of the new generation console is in. A very big welcome to the family!
(This entry might not be for everyone's understanding, especially if you have no idea what gaming is all about...please also note that an average gamer's age is 28-38 years old. Not 7-18 years old. Tell me, where on earth do a 15 years old student get US$300-500 for a new gaming console?? It's ridiculous. Only hard working labours like us can burn a huge hole in our wallet to acquire one...)
Honestly, never did have a good opinion on Microsoft's product. However, this monster prove me wrong in many ways.
Firstly, it hooks you up to the internet in 3 easy/idiot-proof steps. Once you are in, configure your system and your user name, MSN Chats, sign-in names etc etc. It will bring you to LIVE where you can chat with all the gamers thru the world who might be online then. You get to download trailers, game updates, system updates, top ranking gamer for a particular games, the gamers' comments and star level etc etc etc.
Playing the game in High-Definition is totally mind blowing. The details are amazing.(PC Gamers, eat your heart out!) Halfway thru the game, a message pops up on screen and tells you that the trailer download is complete. Then a message pops up saying that you have a incoming message from a friend. You get to do all theses while on the game.
Not forgetting the Media part of it. Download all your pictures, store your holiday video clips into it's hard disk and view it on your High Definition TV set. Download/synch all your CD collections from your iPod into it's Hard Disk and you can listen to your CD collection while you are playing any game.
Controllers are wireless, so no wires to mess up your beautiful living area.(PS3 is gonna have Bluetooth controller)
There are many more features that I am still trying to explore and learn. Was pleasantly surprise at what this Box can do. And reports are that Microsoft are soon to be introducing some system upgrades for releasing the regional lockout.(in anticipation of Sony's competition come Nov)
This is the first of High Definition Console to enter market(Dec 2005), I am a little late in acquiring one. But never too late! Next, high anticipation for the arrival of another High Difinition Giant....PS3. How things and technology have change! From those 16Bits to the High Definition graphics...it's scary how things advanced. HIGH DEFINITION RULES!!!
Kokoro and Snake have found their home...
Mario...it looks like you are the homeless sacrificial lamb..with no High Definition or online support...
Me...gonna be living off bread and butter for the whole month. When Sony comes knocking...think I will have to live off high chlorine-flavour beverage for 2 whole months...!!
Photos : Anyone who loves newly opened items...will love this...(the one with the TV shows the XBOX LIVE page menu)

Amazing. U r making me drool.
So envious...
Too bad the games aren't as good, Ghost Recon probably the best lot of the launch titles, hopefully we see some more good games coming out. Waiting for PS3, which will break my bank when I bought it.
