Well I went out Saturday morning to see if I could find an xbox360 to buy, low and behold a Zellars near me had 4 preimum systems. I purchased one as well as copies of kameo, perfect dark and the VGA cable.


First off I don't know what people are complaining about with the noise the console makes. I mean you can hear the fan but its not exactly a jet engine or anything. While playing a game there is no possible way you can hear the noise. The power brick is very large as everyone knows. This is not too much of a problem but that cable that goes from the actual brick to the xbox could have been much larger. Other than that its fine.

Kameo is very fun and worth the purchase The controls are fine and the graphics are amazing. ( I am playing in 1024X768 with gameplay smooth as glass that I would say is running at at least 60 fps) I have not progressed far because I have been to busy playing PD0. PD0 is a fun run of the mill shooter because of its great graphics and quick based gameplay. The only problem is of course using a gamepad. I am knew at this but after playing the game now for some time (Over 12 hours for sure) the control scheme is a crime against god. Its virtually impossible to aim at enemies because you crosshair can never stay steady. And areas that would have been easy to complete with other control methods are extremely hard. Espcially when it comes to sniping.

All in all its seems to be a great console with superb graphics. Sadly I was proven right in that a controller is a useless input method for a FPS.
