I finally picked up an Xbox 360, and despite my continued criticism of Microsoft’s launch process, it is an excellent replacement for my original Xbox.

Microsoft definitely got the online marketplace right. Downloadable trailers, demos and skins really takes the idea of a connected console to the next level.

One nice surprise was the ability to play DVDs without having to purchase the remote.

Also, I wonder how much of the Virtual PC technology they acquired is in the 360?
