It arrived! On time! Actually pretty early. I ordered pizza for lunch wanting to snack a little bit because I expected UPS Saturday delivery to be a little late and I could have pizza for dinner while I played, but the 360 arrived before the pizza at 11am.
It didn't have Madden '06, instead it had Kameo which is a pretty good game. Taking out the mini-camps for the 360 version of Madden really stinks, that was THE best part of the game. Anyways, I played Kameo for about 6 hours and when I finally went to bed my ribs where hurting from laying on the couch for so long.
The wireless controllers are great! No lag at all, very responsive and the AA batteries have lasted for over a month, I could never go back to wired controllers.
It also streams music, tv and recorded tv from my Media Center Edition 2005 computer in the other room. I recently used Movielink to download a movie online to watch on the 360 and had problems initially but finally got it to work. Hint: turn off Xbox while installing Movielink, get it to work on the computer with a free sample first.
The MCE2005 experience is so great I convinced my Dad to get one as well. Of course he can't find one anywhere...
