An industrious member of the Xbox.com forums, going by the gamertag BlackHawkV8, has posted a series of videos showing off the 360 and its features on what can only be described as a sick setup! It might even beat Joystiq's (on second thought, it definitely does). Although the videos were originally posted on the Xbox.com forums, the Team Xbox forums feature a nicely linked complilation, complete with mirrors. Any similarly industrious fanboys care to write up some show notes in the comments, and we'll add them to this post? I'll start with "360.wmv".
We salute you BlackHawkV8, you are the quintessential fanboy!
[Thanks, Don Wilson, and thanks again!]
