I'm in England, I got one yesterday. Bloody amazing thing.
Halo - gorgeous! It's the only FPS I've played on a console that I like playing with a pad...
DoA 3 - love it even more than 2. Hit/Collision detection is much better, the counters are a lot more fluid. Hitome is my new favorite player ^_^
Jet Set Radio Future - I loved the original and this blows that out of the water...
Wreckless - feels like a mix between Crazy Taxi, Carmageddon and GTA.... all goods games
Most of my friends are Sony or Nintendo zeolets... they played the Xbox for 5 minutes and started writing "For Sale" ads for their consoles
