*thrills*
My 360 arrived tonight. It's all set up, works great (although I did have a brief Red Ring of Death scare when I set it flat on the ground. Standing on end seems to have fixed it.), and even included the Xbox Live headset when they claimed it wouldn't. It's kind of shitty and I don't think I'll be using it, but more stuff for the same price is always nice.
Dead Rising is indeed a bit annoying on an SDTV. I thought the problem with the text would be reading mission objectives and that sort of thing, things that I could get around with a walkthrough. No, the problem is reading all the tiny little action and item labels that the game pops up around you. I think that's fairly important, and I don't think I'm going to get to play Dead Rising until I get an HDTV. Oh well. It's my friend's copy for exactly this reason.
Now all I need is a decently long ethernet cable and a proper router and I should be good to go. Well, and a Play and Charge Kit for the wireless controller wouldn't hurt, but I plan to use my previously purchased wired one for most things.

Always nice to get new toys. I'm debating picking up a 360 when I get my tax refund.

I know, right?
