Xbox 360 - Out for some peep

This guy has received his Xbox 360 a few days early...go check out the pics!

It still looks a bit big for me....similar height to the original Xbox just a little thinner! The controller is huge...but then again I think Americans have bigger hands than us Europeans.

"Microsoft included batteries for the wireless controller & remote. Energizer alkalines (AA size). good quality but I'm using my own rechargable nimh's instead."

My main concern here would be how quickly do the batteries run out and how responsive is the wireless signal. Most gamers that i know refuse to use wireless mice for gaming since they say a wired optical mouse is much more responsive and feels better. Will this wireless gimmick backfire on M$...and if it does will they be able to add a wired controller to their current setup?

Lets see if people switch to Microsoft or wait for the PS3 to come out....

one thing i'm not sure about....does the Xbox 360 have HD-DVD??? anyone know?
