I finally was able to get my hands on a 360 Sunday, I've been playing it alot since.
Call of Duty 2 is fucking amazing, I am glad I didn't pickup the PC version. I am about 50% done with the Campaign and the AI is fucking smart as hell on Veteran. I have only played Multiplayer 5 or 6 times but I really love the new Xbox Live interfaces.
Project Gotham Racing 3 has spectacular graphics and some awesome new cars. The gameplay is pretty much the same as 2 with new tracks. The Online component is what really makes it stand apart from titles like Gran Turismo 4. You can watch other people compete on PGR TV over LIVE and the ranking system makes finding opponents online with your skill level easy.
As manager of my store, of the 1000s of XBOX my company has sold we have not had a single return, so if people are unhappy with their machines they aren't having bad enough problems to warrant returns.
My 360 doesn't even get luke-warm so I'm not sure about all of those reports about crashes and overheating. Looking at the console and how its designed with the fan blowing out through the top I probably wouldn't reccomend anyone lay it flat or put it in a cabinet.
As for all of the PS3 talk, good luck waiting until next christmas to pay $600 for one. YEP, $600.
