Ok, I don't like the downloadable game content, particularly the Premium downloads, this isn't good and its a FACT that the gaming industry is heading that way. Its like paying for ringtones for your cell phone, yeah its cool, buts its usually overpriced and a mark of Greed on the companies selling it.

Anything with "Additional Fees may Apply" is bad

I like all the input devices, and all the formats that the Disc Drive Supports is pretty handy. Also note the HD support, this will be fun Halo 3 in HD! I hope they make the games all compatible with standard TV's too, cause people tend to screw up stuff like that.

3 symmetrical cores?! I'm doubting this, but it looks solid, but I'll need to play it to really give my review.
