I just played 360 on Friday, for about 2 hours at a friends place. He reviews games for a few websites, a local paper, and gets everything in advance (for free!). Got to say some of the graphics looked a bit choppy in the NBA game, I liked playing it better on the old xbox (maybe the controller I was more used to, but I thought the game was a drop smoother, and there seemed to be a drop of lag once in a while). Playing Kameo, was cool, the other chars was awesome, but I felt Kameo looked dinky. I mean you can be a flying fairy, a nice elemtal (and you can pickup and smack around the mobs with him, or toss him at others). But what was horrible was your 3rd alt form, a stupid armadillo. I did not play as long as I liked, but seemed very cool. A lot of stuff there seemed from WoW, and the graphics were really smooth. But learning to use the armadillo reminded me of prince of persia, making all the jumps perfect etc...
But basically my thought is, if you can wait a year I would wait. In most platform releases, the good games take a year to come out, and the kinks are removed etc.. I was not that impressed and I still got a lot to accomplish on my current X-Box.
