So that everyone unlocks Halo 3 at the same time.
Hee Hee. I kid. I kid.
I'm guessing the 7gig could be a disk image for the emulators to use. Instead of using the X360 formatted partition, it has its own partition for the xbox games that use the HD. They could make it invisible from the dashboard so you don't inadvertantly delete it. Dunno why they wouldn't make it 10gig, like the original drive.
Either that, or it's a hidden restore partition. Someone needs to void their warranty and check out the drive using partition magic.

Maybe you did get a defective one. I haven't heard one problem with the 360's controller other than yours.
...at least I hope it's just yours.

Thats true but 7GB? Thats a whole lot of space and thats the general size of a game itself. Maybe Demos for upcoming games?
I put more time into Kameo, and yes once you get out of the first stage, the graphics get quite good. Grass everywhere, good bumpmapping, lots and lots of detail... horrible, horrible lip synching to the voice acting, wait till the lizard lady, looks terrible. But that's a minor complaint. Good battling, especially compared to Star Fox Adventures. It feels like a Rare platformer though, so if you don't like that style then you might not like it. Its fine though, the monster mechanic is quite interesting.
EDIT -ooh I didn't check the warrenty, lets look... and I can't find it.... :S

Dammit. Hopefully its just in menus and not in actual gameplay, but I was having problems playing Hectic.m0dus said:Um. I've got the 360 windows pad and the D-Pad is fine and dandy. I use it for all my EMU's, and have had no problems. Looks like somebody got hosed
Found the warranty booklet...90 days :S, spike beat me to it below

I won't give any impressions because I just can't do it justice on my puny 20" TV. All I can say is Halo 1 loads really quickly. :lol
Kameo is beautiful. Just fucking drop dead gorgeous even on my shitty 20". Oh, and don't judge the game based on the demo level. The next level after that is sooo much better.
Do Not go to EB with your tradeins. They always offer you so little when the game first launches. You have to wait for them to update their "Most Wanted" posters to get a half decent tradein price. But now that they no longer have any competition, I'm doubting this is going to happen.
Oh, and just for the record, they also offer $22 tradein credit for SW:Battlefront 2 for Xbox. I don't think that Kameo should be fetching that little. Also, Madden and NFS:MW for X360 will only get you $26 at EB.

Thinks his PR is better than yours.
Well back from work and I just finished playing a bit of Kameo. Allz I gotsta say is HOLY SHIT!!! It looks amazing on my HDTV, extremely vibrant colours, no jaggies, smooth framerate, and the soundtrack is fantastic!! The levels seem to get more and more beautiful as you go along. The first level isn't so good, but once you move on, damn did my jaw drop! If you don't like platformers though, you probably won't want it, but it's gorgeous and messing around with all the characters on the fly is pretty fun. I can't stress enough how good the soundtrack is, I'm loving it. The worlds look so good, things are so shiney! :lol
The controller, I found to be extremely comfortable. Probably the best controller I've ever used, it just melds so well with my hands that I tend to forget I'm holding it sometimes, it's just so well made. The D-Pad, I found isn't quite as good as the S controller, but it's not bad. Don't seem to be having the problems Lake is having. It responds to everything I've been doing just fine. The rumble is slightly less prominent compared to the Controller S, that may be due to it being wireless, or maybe it's a different mechanism than the S controller, but it still works well, just a little bit weaker. Button layout is perfectly placed, triggers and L/R are very easy to reach, and the analog sticks are great.
As for BC, I can't test any of my Xbox games, cause unfortunately I was robbed a little while ago and lost every fucking system and game I had..... The 360 makes me feel a little better, but still...fucking sucks.....
Remote is pretty neat, feels nice and sturdy, not cheaply made or anything. Gets the job done quite nicely. It doesn't feel overly light, or heavy by any means, just right.
Setup was a breeze, dropped the brick supply and damn near broke my foot.........
well not really, but it hurt a bit. Controller was easy to input, just hold a couple buttons down on the controller and system and presto you're done.
Anyway, that's all for now, I needs to get me a little more X360 action going, so I'll post again.... later..... a lot later.... maybe days..... never??.... More KAMEO!!!!!!!!!!

because the original was 8... they used 10GB platters, but they were partitioned to use 8GBfilthy said:

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
A 20GB drive, after being formatted, would leave about 18.5GB free. Subtract maybe a couple hundred more for Hexic, system files, executables (for Arcade titles, etc), emulation profiles, etc. After that, I can see 40 minutes of HD taking up around 5GB or so, depending on how it's compressed. The stuff is high-bandwidth, you know. There might be some other stuff floating on there that we don't know about, but I really don't think anything is "hidden".
Of course, if there is only 13GB or so available even after a reformat, then that's fucked up. I can deal with a couple gigs missing, obviously. It's nothing new. Go and buy a 20 gig iPod, and you're only going to get around 18 or so. That's just how it is.

Oh this is gold!, my friend also won a console from the contest. He comes over and he's like "YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT I'VE GOT!" so we go into my basement and he opens his bag he's carrying and pulls out the X360, and he's just glorifying it like it's god's gift to man! We connected to my 67" HDTV and start playing Kameo. Then he's like "man it sucks you're going to wait WEEEEEEEKS after launch to get yours and I got mine FREE, FREE FREE!! :lol " I slowly pulled out my console box from the side of my sofa and just put it there on my lap. I just kept it there till he noticed it and when he did, it was classic, I'm quoting him here ".... YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! YOUR A JACKASS! WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM!?" and then he grabbed the console packed it up and stormed out of my house lol. Oh boy did I piss on his parade

No.
It's about the same. Remember, this is a feature-cut version of the remote. It only controls DVD functions. If you look at the regular remote, cut out everything below the Windows Media Center button, as well as the Channel +/- and Volume +/-, TV, and Mute buttons.

That kind of sucks. I remembering reading in an interview with some MS rep that there were going to be 3-4 levels of force feedback. Oh well. I think I'm going to do without it from now on anyways. I never even notice it anymore, so it's just a waste of battery power.Spike said:

Maybe it could be up to each game (setting for each game)? It would be better to have a Universal setting though (through the Dashboard).
