Anybody pick one of these up today?

My original 360 busted, so I put some money back and just waited until this one came out. I know I'll probably get bashed as some sort of Halo loving idiot, but in all honesty, I do think it looks pretty cool. I was never a big fan of white (it's ok, I s'pose), and Elites were a pain in the ass to find around here until recently, so I opted for this one.

I'm pretty impressed with the design and the small details they added all over the unit. I think I like the green controller the most. I found it pretty humorous that it was listed all over as 'limited quantities' yet Best Buy had about 50 of them on a pallet.
 
When I first saw pics of it I thought it looked pretty good, but after seeing real pics of it I didn't really like the color. Its not a bad pick up. I'm glad M$ is giving the US some special consoles.
 
I don't know what to think about it. I like the orange and green, but the red and black buttons bother me, if it was solid green with the same orange pieces I'd be all over it.
 
I like the look of it, but I'm not going to go out and get one, since I already have a 360. If I didn't though, I'd consider it. Anyway, congrats on picking one up.
 
Five honest replies, and only one snarky one? I'm a little surprised by the ratio;), thanks guys!

I'll be happy to take some pics of it, it's a neat looking box. I figured everybody had seen enough of it, but I'll pop a few up when I get home from work.

Missed out on the PSTwo slim design, the different colored Dreamcasts, the fruity see through N64's, the Halo green Xbox 1, and the DS Lite, so I've never had the opportunity to own anything but the standard style/color consoles. I think it's pretty cool just by default (ugly as sin, but I could care less).

I've also never had to rebuy a console because it broke before, so there's that whole aspect of it. :rolleyes:

As Penny-Arcade said 'When life gives you shit, make, what, Shit-Ade?" :D
 
I saw it at fry's today. It does look good in person. Not a big enough halo fan to pick up one though. The retail halo controllers also come with a mini toy master chief, pretty neato.

You're right, he should have gotten a PS3 so he could watch BR's and play gam....oh wait...

oh oh, I got it, he could have gotten a RevWiiCube and once he played the 3 good games for it, he could have it sitting on his shelf for 8 months like most others....


see, other people can be assholes too....
 
Well, here's some quick snaps of it in its new home... pics are huge if you click, the sides came out clear, but the tray is so damn shiny, I don't have the set up to photograph it without glare.






*Obligatory "I read the [H]ardforum, so heres a pic of it on my monitor in the background of my picture" included for accuracy :D
 
Something cool I didn't realize until today, theres a card inside it that gives you some gamer pictures (meh, but sorta neat) and a theme for your dashboard. The theme I really liked.

Same green shading as the box, and some lowkey backgrounds of the logos that adorn the box.

I like it.
 
hdmi? I think i'm with the majority. Didn't like it at first, but it grows on you. Pretty cool.
 
I like it; but I'm waiting for the Falcon chipset until I upgrade my 360.

Yes. It does have HDMI out. I don't really have a use for it currently, but it's nice to have the option.
