I CANT WAIT! I love the old xbox. I cant wait for the wireless controlers. And such. It's gonna be so cool!

hmmm read a couple of reviews by sites that had previews of the box. Most notably is:

toms hardware
AnandTech

Appears to me to be quite a beast. Will be interesting to see what the game makers
are able to bring out. Of course Sony are yet to release details on theirs, though in all
honesty Sony realy dropped the ball on the last one. They made it incredibly dificult for
game developers and stuffed up on net support (something Microsoft has done quite
well).

i love the new RF controllers and the usb support. I think the most
telling difference will be the fact that you can connect any usb device
to the XBox 360 and it will work. You can connect a Kodak camera,
a PSP (sony hand held game), etc. No dependancy on Microsoft
only hardware. Something that I doubt Sony will ever do.

DEfinatley one of my favorite features. I hope you will be able to use your xbox as a internet browser. To view the internet and stuff. I love the usb thing! I would connect alot of stuff to it.

They have no plans to use the xBox as a net browser. They said that in studies by themselves and others, it seems that browsing the net via your TV is not the best environment and most people get fustrated with it.

They didn't rule it out, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Btw they also said that you will be able to connect a keyboard and mouse to the XBox, but they are not requiring developers to support them, its up to the developer to provide keyboard and mouse support for each game. MS reckons not many game manufacturers will use the keyboard/mouse.

I wish they would, the keyboard and mouse, you have so much more control over the player/character, but it also takes the skill out of learning combos and stuff.
