Aright, this is sort of an ongoing log of my screwing with this console, as well as discussion with anyone else wishing to do the same. Just got my shiny new box, and upon realizing my TV was SOL, a shiny new TV to go with it. Oops. Oh well, had to happen anyway.
The console just arrived today, and it's...remarkably small. Even a wii looks huge compared to this sucker. It's downloading updates, but finding networks, syncing controllers, etc seemed to go smoothly enough. Controller is...basically an xbox controller. Twin stick, dpad, four button panels, two front triggers on each side. Sync button in middle. It only lacks the start/select buttons of uselessness. The batteries go in the handgrips, rather than the central bubble on the xbox. Was skeptical at first, but it makes for better weight distribution. Also, a way to replace controller faceplates. I've coded for xbox, and while XNA was fantastic, here's hoping this system isn't much harder.
