A gift from the gods?!

:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Gifted by a close friend and a colleague of mine actually.

A package cometh a couple of days after Faheem and I celebrated our birthday. Turns out it’s a real shocker. Gifted by the wifey if I may add!

TADA!

A free game (meh!) was bundled with the package. :face_with_tongue:

Up close & personal with the new X360 S console. Matte finish - me likes!

The black controller - part of the standard bundle. Wish MS had a USB-rechargeable Li-ion battery within the controller a la the DS3. Nvm.

The ports at the back of the console. There’s nothing new here other than the port atop the ethernet port which mimics the Display port in appearance - it is the Kinect port.

The setup completado! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Left to right clockwise - the sub, the UPS, Fostex T20v2 vintage cans, the Maverick Tubemagic D1 DAC and the Philips HTS3571 5.1 receiver. The receiver was probably the best investment I’ve made - accepts a coaxial and optical input, processes Dolby D & DTS signals and costed me 16k. Completely worth it IMO.

Cable management anyone? :face_with_tongue:

Some Eneloops and the normal charger for the controller when it runs out of juice!

What better a title to kick start the X360 awesomeness!

A recent DX purchase thanks to Gaurish.

A parting shot of the entire bunch!

Seriously, looking at the neatness of the environs I thought the same. I mean WTH mate !

On a side note that’s like a total newage indian geek. A Ganesh (Gannu?) idol at the bottom totally pwned by the android figurine at the top :face_with_tongue:

Only thing i see lacking in the tv stand/rack is a HD STB.

Thanks a bunch guys. Wasn’t expecting the X to come up soon enough. Was planning to invest in one before GeOW3 was here but alas. I am afraid other than Alan Wake, GeOW 2/3, Halo 3, ODST and Reach, the X is going to shy away from the exclusives that the PS3 can boast of.

@Arun: haha yeah but trust me I don’t watch TV at all. :face_with_tongue:
