Good to see it's a work in progress. Hope you enjoy the games you bought.

On a side note: You should be able to get Gold a bit cheaper than 35 pounds...Atleast in the US, if you know where to look (Ebay), you can get it for $35 USD.

Welcome to 360. Disagree with your dashboard and xmb comments. XMB has less features if you ask me. And I hate the menu system on PS3. Prefer the blades alot more. The most important bit to come yet. The Games.

Sounds good. I may be gettinga 3600 this fall myself if there is a price cut.

It comes with an ethernet cable that could be used for a wired connection right? If so, is it plugged into modem or extra computer ethernet port? Are there any possible incompatibilities?

lol Machina, u'r always up all nite.

That was a very well written article. Reading it Im going thru the same feelings as when I bought my own X360 and launched it.

Heh, so Munkeh is obsessed with bundles and Machina with packages, lol.

Well, Ι'm jealous of the OP! Oh, I guess i didn't have the time when i bought my 360 (ten games with it).
The games you got with the bundle... Bloody Hell!

I think the PS3 has it's power supply built into the machine (makes it bulkier) like the original fat PS2.

As for the batteries, what do you do when the rechargeable batteries run out on PS3 controllers? Can they be replaced or do you have to buy a new controller?
I use rechargeable batteries on my two Wii controllers and I have one plug and play kit for my 360. I only need one charging cord even though I have two wireless 360 controllers since I never re-charge them at the same time, hehe.

What Machina said

 

PS3 controllers don't have removable batteries, just plug the controller in to the PS3 via a mini-usb cable to charge them up again.

Pretty nifty imo
