    What impresses you most about the X360.

    After a few days of owning mine i have to say the one thing I Love about the X360 is load times, turn on the console and within seconds i'm up and playing a game, and shutting down via wireless with fully saved game is awesome again within seconds.

    I'm just loving the really good pick and play factor and this was one of the main features i've bought it for.

    I'm never going back to wired consoles

    I love the fact that it is soo small that it is actually invisible it takes up no space whatsoever in my living room altho I must say that so far the games are not great and the invisible controller doesnt work to well either.

    I love LIVE - it works well (as I can also spy on Nick!)

    As TiG said the instant on works well and being able to shut it down.

    The other thing I really like is the fact it just works.

    Wireless pads are so surreal but so awesome

    PGR3 boots instantly, i.e you are into the game straight away, the races take time to load but not that long imo...

    Kameo load times are non existant. Only two games i've got, anyone else got any views on this?

    As you say load times for the game to boot is quick but thats normaly covered by intro that you cant skip

    Ingame loads arnt quick but they are no longer than PC games.

    For me its the combination of Media Extender and gaming machine.

    At last I have a console my missus doesn't tut over when I boot it up and its something she can enjoy too.

    Last night we spent two hours looking through all the photos we've taken and stored on the PC for the last four years... Sounds incredibly boring, I know, but seeing the pics again, from the comfort of the sofa rather than crowded round a PC monitor was very nice.

    I hate the spying on Xbox LIVE... means I can;t bugger off and play Gauntlet while David thinks I'm working... still, at least I can see when he's watching telly...

    So

    So many great things! The gamercards are great, although you only get 10 points for finsihing PDZ!

    The media options are fantastic! I love the private chat channels and the ability to pause a game, even during a cut scene.

    Oh, and the Xbox live arcade!
