I've been enjoying it quite a lot the past week, between playing PDZ, downloading trailers and demos, and messing around with the Live Arcade.  It's also a big damn bastard, with just a deceptive profile in the vertical position.  The cords and power adapter make it feel a lot bulkier to set up than the Xbox1.  (Sidenote:  I fear for the Japanese reaction to all this.  All that talk of making a smaller console is really out the window.)  The controller redeems these flaws, imo.  It's pure goodness, a perfect union of form and function.</blockquote>
