Xbox 360: more impressions
I like:
-the community games. I haven't come close to checking them all out, but there are some real gems in there.
-the ability to install any game on the hard drive.
-the games that don't exist on the PS3.
-the fact that the video output is 1080p all the time, so I can set my TV to it "dot-by-dot" mode, which only exists in 1080p and sticks only as long as the video output doesn't change.
-the charging cable that's long enough to play while charging.

I dislike:
-the controller layout, with the asymmetry between the analog sticks.
-I'm still not a fan of the entire user interface, I find the menu hierarchy annoyingly deep, and the whole thing feels like it's overly tuned toward selling additional stuff all the time.

I'm still not sure about:
-the machine's capabilities as a games console. Forza 2 is a notch or two behind Gran Turismo 5, Kung-Fu Panda (bundled game!) falls into tearing and dropped frames as early as the first game scene.
