Day Before Launch 360 Impressions

There'll be a blizzard of launch day articles tomorrow, but in the calm before the storm we have some last minute thoughts. Gamecloud has impressions from the developers, and a pre-launch review of the system. Gamers with Jobs has impressions of the console and the launch title selection. From the Gamers with Jobs article: "The actual console is a far cry from the large, black and American design of the original Xbox. It's slim and white, it's also pretty quiet but I can only imagine that has something to do with the console's lack of a manly internal power supply. Instead, the black monster resides outside, like the ghost of what was mocking the feminine new system's lack of balls. It's ok Xbox 360, I think you're ADORABLE! Hee!"

    I think I speak for all of us when I say WTF?!

    Y'know, I have some thoughts on the XBox 360 launch, but they don't really fit the themes of the "Day Before Launch 360 Impressions", "Hardcore Offer Mixed Verdict At Xbox 360 Zero Hour", or "Prepping For The 360" posts on the Games page.

    Any chance we could get another XBox 360 launch thread to go over some of the finer points? Specifically, something pertaining to the possible effects of getting various soft cheeses jammed in the controller ports?

    So what you're saying is...white consoles can't jump?
