The OS features look sweet, I'm in love with the new controller, kinda like the new Kinect, dislike the name, and loathe the new console design. Seriously, WTF M$!? How do you go from the incredibly sexy 360 Slim to this!
That said I do like the idea of Xbox Live original programming. If there's enough of it, that alone would make the subscription fee worthwhile--assuming that there isn't ANOTHER fee attached to it. Live TV isn't much of a plus, but it is nice being able to do everything on one system. I couldn't care less about the NFL stuff, though. :(
Now, as far as games go, this conference was a nightmare. Despite that, I don't feel that there's much to worry about, because it's pretty much guaranteed to have excellent 3rd party support, and this was only the first piece of a two-part reveal. The main deal breaker is the fact that it essentially blocks used games and sharing, but game trading may soften that blow just a bit, so I'll postpone my rage filled disappointments until after E3.
