So... this friend of mine won a 360...

Thing is you see... this friend lives in Japan...

So to make long story short... the 360 is now in my hands and my friend is $200USD (sans shipping costs) richer.

That's a mighty fine deal if I do say so myself.

Ordered DOA4 off YesAsia, but it hasn't come yet, so there's not much to show. It froze on me the first time I messed with my preferences, but nothing a restart couldn't fix. Enjoyed an hour or so of Hexic HD before turning it off via the Dashboard (sounded gimmicky when I first heard of it, but I really do appreciate it now).

More later when I find the time. Questions welcome. Please don't hurt me, lol.

I wonder if you are going to have issues with regional codes?

Going to? I already do!

Had to order DOA4 off some import site because I heard it's region encoded. Though, without tax, it's pretty much the same I would pay for the localized version, so I'm not complaining.

Hey, if things turn for the worse, it was only $200, and I could probably part it out for much more, lol.

Something tells me whoever took those picture was stationed in Okinawa, Japan. I would know those chairs anywhere!
