Well, my perspectives go as follows:
Got up at 9:15 a.m. Turned on my 360. Update prompted. Took only 10 seconds to do the first loading part. 360 restarted, then downloaded and installed the update in about 1:30 seconds (not sure why it was so fast! I have 20mbps internet, so maybe that is why? I was expecting 5-10minutes like others have stated).
Watched the intro vid which was cool except the poop looking thing was weird.
Immediately created my virtual likeness, although I want a Colts jersey and some more hats to choose from!
Downloaded a premium theme :D
Messed around searching and browsing. Downloaded Netflix.
Then had to go to work :(
Once I get home, I am immediately subscribing to Netflix so I can start the streaming! I wonder how many new Netflix subscribers there will be because of this. I mean, $9 a month for unlimited streaming in SD AND HD! That beats the pants of off everything including Red Box!
Oh, and I plan on getting a 120GB hard drive for the Xbox 360 from Buy.com. They have it on sale at $135 with free shipping, plus if you use their credit card (first purchase with it), you get $30 off. Plus, after I transfer my data, I'll sell the old hard drive and cable, so all-together the cost of the 120GB hard drive for me will only be about:
$135
- 30
- 25 (hard drive sell)
- 20 (transfer cable sell)
-------
$60 WOOT!
