  • Though I do think Oerdin had a good point re: console on its side. How does the CD easily load that way? Unless it is like laptop CD drives, where you have to click the CD into the drive.

    • It is a marketing gimmick. No one will ever use it like that.

      • Some people use the PS2 vertically

        • How does it work with the DVD drive?

            • It is possible to put a CD in the drive with it sideways, but it is extremely cumbersome.

              • I'd imagine so... but all the promotional stuff has the XBox 360 vertically, like that is the way it is supposed to be.

                • Maybe they are trying to make it appear more sleek/slim.

                  • Maybe they should have used a slot-load system like the one they use in the iMac

                      Considering the massive value of the equipment already in the box, I find it amazing someone would whine about coming with one controller...
                      I haven't bought a consol in years but my Atari 2600 came with two, my original Nintendo came with two, and the Sega my friend had back in high school came with two.

                      Also how many controllers can play at once without going online? I don't think I could ever justify paying a monthly fee to play online when I already pay for broadband and most PC games offer free MP. Sure, the Ever Quest crowd likes to pay to play but most other genres don't.

                          Do you guys really load the discs that often? I don't do it that often, one game stays in for a while til I finish it. I can tilt it over to load it, tilt it back when done.

                          • Yeah, I tend to switch games fairly often. I usually keep a story driven game in the console, but I'll switch it out when I want to play a quick game in a sports title.

                              I use my Xbox to watch DVD's, and I rent movies quite often.
