Here’s the things that bug me so far and are minimal.

Ok now I have my xbox360 standing on my TV pretty high up well 3 1/2 feet from the floor. I got a problem with the frigen HUGE power supply. They made the cord to short on the wrong end. So I have to have this UGLY power supply beside the Beautiful Xbox 360. I wish the cord was longer on the other side so I could hide it behind the TV. Stupid design in the power supply

Also beware they place a sticker over the DVD eject tray, Mine wouldn't open at first and I thought it was ****ed...it’s hard to detect. So that’s a warning for you guys.

Other than that everything is flawless so far and I'm loving it, the interface is liquid smooth.

PD0 is the killer app in my eyes; it looks great on my regular TV.

So overall I'm very happy.;)

Post your nit picks:dong:

not for me...infact since it has progressive scan and my default dvd player did not,...I took out the old and replaced it with the 360. Only problem I had was it froze once...yes PDZ is very nice :)

Hooked up the xbox to my HDTV and wasnt impressed with the graphics, and then HOURS later realized that the AV cables manual switch was set to "TV" LOL... once I switched it to HDTV and saw PRG3 in its full glory, I was a happy camper! :stupid:

I found a bug with the remote controler...I put in the PD0 bounis disc in and I had the controler charging so I decided to use the remote for the menus on the disc...so it said press the a button to view a selection but would not work. Just a wierd little bug.
Its just with the remote and not the wireless controller.
So that makes the remote useless...mabey its just with the bouis disc and nothing else.

How come it takes so long to download the demos/trailers from the Marketplace? Anyone else experience this or is just my set up?

I got a wireless controller at walmart since I only got the Core. I tried getting the 360 to recognize it but the controller never would do anything. I followed all the instructions in the booklet and kept retrying it and still nothing. I used the batteries that came with the controller and the battery for the play and charge kit and still nothing from the controller. Then I hooked the cable for the play and charge kit into the console and the controller then it started working and I hadnt pushed either of the buttons on the console or controller. Has this happened to anyone else?

Yeah i pushed the link button on the xbox and controller but it doesnt do anything until i plug the play and charge kit into the controller. It works great after that. It seems simple to do it just doesnt work right for me LOL. Atleast it works though. Thanks guys for all the help.
