It's a remarkably intuitive and clean interface, and really hits home the 'next-gen' feel of the console. Flipping between the different screens is as easy as moving the thumbstick.

The interface for the console is a series of screens arranged in an interlocking pattern of tabs, or blades.
Setup completed, I had my first look at the 360 'blade' system. By entering the setting on my Live account, every FPS I play on the 360 will use that setting by default.
I don't know why, but I like inverted look on console games. As a final touch I was asked my preferences for controls in FPS and Driving titles. Selecting letters from an on-screen keyboard seems like a good idea until you start entering your 32-character-long email address. The only annoying part of the setup was the grueling process of entering my email address and password. This apparently allows me the opportunity to get to some additional content, and make use of the Trueskill ranking system we reported on a while back. The Live account I had with the Xbox was still in good standing, putting me into the 'gold' version of the Live system. The setup wizard asked for little more than the time zone and my Passport account. With everything plugged in and set properly I hit the large central button on the controller, and the console whirred to life. It's set by default to 'TV', and if you want to experience the HD signal right away you're going to want that switch flipped. One important consideration: If you're fortunate enough to be using your console with an HDTV, make sure and flip the switch on the component cable before you start up the console. Pulling the massive thing out of the box, I had a flash of a bad bumper-sticker: "My second console is my 360 power brick." The cables are all surprisingly lengthy, with a nice long piece of cat5 cable making the trip to my router with more slack than the one I was using for my Xbox. It is, unfortunately, as large as everyone says it is.

The bottom of my entertainment center has wire shelving, and the free flow of air around the brick has so far allowed my 360 to be glitch-free. As per the copious recommendations across the internet, I made sure that the console's power brick was not on the carpet once the system was in place. It only took a few moments to set things up before I was working with the setup wizard. While I don't feel the need to bore you with pictures of the packaging, the out-of-the-box experience is attractive and intuitive. Read on for my impressions of the Xbox 360 experience after a month of retail sales and a week of gameplay. Today I have for you a rundown on what it's like to go where others have gone before. When my local game store called to let me know my console was in, I bit the bullet and swiped the plastic. Overall though, gamers seemed to be pleased with their purchases. The reports that came back were mixed, with occasional technical difficulties and tepid gameplay marring the first next-gen launch. Indeed, it allowed me to focus on launch news and information, posting stories for the games page and absorbing the mood of early adopters. In the grand scheme of things, getting bumped from the first shipment of pre-ordered Xbox 360s to the second wasn't the end of the world.
I try to look for the best in every situation.
