The Depth of the 360
Kotaku has a long day's worth of hands-on information about the Xbox 360. Information covers packaging, hookup, the Interoperability, Multimedia, and Live interfaces. They also have hands-on impressions of some of the launch titles, including Kameo, PGR3, Amped, and NBA 2K6. From the hookup article: "I was surprised at how much I like the new controller. The design feels lighter that current gen stuff and the minor tweaks to the shape really help make holding it a pleasure. The button layout is mostly the same as with the xbox controllers with one major exception. The black and white buttons, always a pain in the ass to find in the middle of intense Xbox games, have been converted into two small rectangles located over the triggers, making them much more intuitive to use."
Good lord! That is an impressively large power brick.
That is from a debug kit though... has anyone actually seen a final retail unit, and can they say if that has an internal or external PSU? I seem to remember hearing the actual retail consoles were supposed to have internal PSUs, even though the various debug units etc. have external ones.
