My impression... "Meh"
Seriously, it aint a bad machine, the games looked great and played well.
However, I don't understand the hoopla over it.
To me it appears the 360 is just an "upgrade", an improved XBox.
Nothing about it jumped out and screamed "I'M THE FUTURE NOW!!!" as they all promised back at E3.
Bottom line... take an Xbox, increase the visual quality to reflect CURRENT technology and you have a 360.
The main problem with the internet is the entire place is filled with !!!!!!s that will back any product with as much enthusiasm as they can possibly provide. Truth be damned.
Remember, in trying to sell others on something, there's always a good chance you're really just trying to sell it to yourself.
Is the 360 a nice product? Yes indeed.
Will I buy one? Not at first, but when they come down in price, probably so.
Does the 360 warrant the raw emotion displayed on this and other forums? Hell no.
Have a nice day.
