Reserved. Mine will be here in an hour or so...

along with Ryse, Forza and DR

 

Console is here... the other pack of games and controller are coming via a different courier so will be here later.

Anyhow...

Unpacked. 

1st impressions:

Sensational build quality.  Second to none.  By far the best I have ever seen fro a console.  Smaller than expected and the power brick is way smaller than expected, Im sure the one on the unboxing by Major N was bigger.

Now downloading the patch:

Instant connection and instant start on download (obviously, this is LIVE we are talking about).  Full download took 5mins 20 seconds.

Rebooting now...

 

Bolded/Underlined: Unless I'm overlooking something, you don't need a Live or PSN account to take system firmware updates. Are you saying the system requires you to log into an Xbox Live account subscribed to Gold?
