Honest Xbox 360 first impressions

jmke · 22nd November 2005, 22:19

The Xbox 360 launches tomorrow in the USA and on December 2 in the UK. We will have full coverage of the UK launch when that comes around, but we have got some initial impressions of the hardware now to co-incide with tomorrow's big event.

We had the chance to go hands-on with the Xbox 360 at the recent Multiplay i26 event, and we spent a substantial amount of time playing the games that were demoed there. Since then, we have another chance to get to grips with the hardware and the games, so whilst these aren't full reviews, hopefully they'll prove useful teasers, especially given our unique 'technical viewpoint' on the hardware - a viewpoint you probably won't see on the gaming sites that will be launching opening-day coverage.
