Well the good news is that I was one of the lucky people to get my hands on a 360 on launch day! To say I was surprised is an under statement, but that was soon taken over by that feeling of being a kid in a sweet shop when I got the thing hooked up.
Now this is either going to encourage, or really piss off a few people reading this, but it is a sweet machine. Even working on my 3/4 year old widescreen CRT TV, it still looks stunning. Plus I'm glad to say that I've not experienced any of the 'overheating' issues noted by our cousins in the US of A. In fact, the thing was on for a good 6 hours straight doing various things on Sunday last and the power pack wasn't even near to being hot, nor the console for that matter! (Check vagusnet.com for more info on the problems rasied after the American launch)
Now you'll excuse me while I go find lots of wood to touch!!!
*disappears*
That's better!
Sadly the downside to all this is that our house move, which was on track to complete on the 16th December, now looks like it won't happen until the new year. Fricking marvellous that is, as I now feel like I've wasted most of the holiday I booked over Christmas. On a positive, at least I won't be at work for much of the festive season (we only use get a maximum of 4 days off).
At VN, we've also got a little thing planned for the end of January/beginning of February to do with one of the launch titles on the 360, but I really can't say much more as Paul would probably nail my parts to his wall! I've also just appointed a new Deputy Editor in the form of Ed Jones (aka Praetorian on the forums) so if you see him around there, say congrats to him.
Till next time folks, happy gaming!
