has anyone played an Xbox 360 yet?

[den68]

I have. I was at Target today and they had one set up. I played a little bit of Call of Duty 2. I don't think the 2 minutes I played it gave me any real feel for it. It did look and sound real nice and Call of Duty had some neat smoke effects in a gun battle. the contoller felt about the same as the Xbox though the triggers felt a liitle wierd, nothing I wouldn't get used to after some real play time though. I wish I'd had time to try some of the other demos on it.

any one else tried one yet?

I played COD2 as well.....i liked what i saw, but i did only play for maybe 10 minutes

my dilemma right now is i can get a gb micro for xmas or $100 to put towards an X360.....i dont know what to do

The controller shoulder buttons probably felt strange because the way you would normally hold it seemed to be restricted because of the plastic arm that connects it to the kiosk.

I played CoD aswell.

It was pretty cool and very pretty.
Now that we know they can make things pretty lets hope the quality of game increases. Or atleast doesn't drop...

@Izret - the one I played wasn't on an arm it was the core system with the corded controllers so it was free in may hands.

@tholly - I picked up a pamphlet on it and all but one of the titles listed were sequels. only Gun was an original game (this one's not a sequel to something is it?), I would have liked to have seen more original titles. I'm not going to rush out and buy one just to get the latest version of Madden, Tiger Woods, Tony Hawk, Need for Speed , Project Gotham or Dead or Alive.

as for the $100, I don't agree with Tynstars assessment of handhelds but you'll probably be able to get a Micro for $80 bucks next year and you'll be $100 closer to playing all those sequels on the 360.

Ahh i played one with wireless controllers.
It was pretty comfy other than the huge piece of plastic that made it kinda hard to use the top shoulder buttons.

I liked the controller.
I am going to go out on a limb and guess i have smaller hand than you do so that might play a part too.

Is it just me or am I picking up a small wave of disappointment? There's no Woo Hoo!!! 360 rocks!!!!!! (just a meaningless jab to the ribs by a Sony fanboy)

I played Kameo a week ago, and while the graphics do look really nice on an HDTV, I found the controller to be no where near as comfortable as I would have expected "the best controller ever" to have felt. I thought it was slightly uncomfortable to hold due to the trigger button placement. I too have a smaller hand, but I just found the trigger setup to be really uncomfortable. As for Kameo, it is an interesting concept, but I played too little of the game to pass judgement on it.

There is no doubt that this thing will probably sell really well, but I have better things to spend 500 dollars on.

I was going to play an Xbox360 at Wal*Mart, but I wanted to save the suprise of how everything is until I open mine up and begin play

No, and I refuse to.  I have to buy all new hockey equipment (there was a terrible accident involving my gear, rain, and some strange and unclassified insects) and if I get my grubby little paws around one of those sexy controllers, I'll have no choice but to buy one.  I still want one more than I have ever wanted sex, but if I don't know how sweet it is, I can still muster up an iota of self control.

Dude, what is wrong with you?  It's just a video game system.  Maybe if it had Hot Slots 2 I could understand, but it doesn't.

Ummm WTF is wrong with you!!!!!!!!!  I am actually thinking about delaying getting on so I can try it out.  :-/

remind me to never touch any of Sauza's controller's without wearing rubber gloves. there's no telling what's on those things.

Played 360 King Kong at EB. Have to say WTF?? The graphics sucked. Maybe King Kong sucks but I expected something better; MGS3, RE4, and Battlefront 2 on PS2 look hella better then that did. I'm sure later on they'll be able to get more out of the engine but jeez, I was suprised. After seeing that (and the crappy flimsy controller, though PS3's looks like crap too) there's no way in hell I'd pay 400$ for it. I was thinking about gettin one because I didn't want to wait six months for PS3 but...I'll wait.

Microsoft had a chance to pull me over to their side, but they failed.

I played it 10 mintes to realise I won't buy it anyway soon with the crappy backwords compatibility (don't own a x-box).
