ugh. There's a site that writes a daily faux-blog from the point of view of your 360 based on your gaming habits that day:

Xbox 360's are a noisy lot.

This has been around for awhile actually.

And I think it's kind of neat!

I want a version for the Wii, even though I don't have one yet.

The Wii comes packed with one.

more to the point though, and not near as clingy.

The problem is that they're all the same. They need to let you edit the personality type of your 360, or maybe your 360's personality changes depending on what games you play or how well you do. If you play gangsta games a lot, your 360 starts talking all gangsta. Or if you don't play a lot, your 360 starts going emo. Or if you do really well, your 360 starts a stalker blog where it talks about it's infatuation with your manliness and how it hates the friends you play online with the most because it's jealous. Or maybe you could define some terminology. So instead of saying "George657 added 130 points to his score today," it could say "George657 added 130 coconuts to his fruits basket today."

The 360 blog could be a very amusing feature if it wasn't so underdeveloped.

"DontPressStart's Xbox - 1/23/2007
What is with guys and the whole 'going out with friends' thing? Hey DontPressStart, you try partying with this massive power supply permanently strapped to your rear."

Way to remind us about your badly designed power supply

Badly how? The PS3's power supply is 380 watts, which is a fuckton more than the 360's 160. I prefer the power block on the outside of the unit, anyway. The 360 runs hot and is heavy enough. Imagine how big the slim PS2 would have been with an internal adapter? Or the Gamecube? Or the GBAm!!!!!

Don't tell her, but I didn't go out with friends. Tuesday nights I go out bowling. I need the practice.

The breakdown they have by game is pretty interesting. They show the number of registered members that played the selected game every day so you can see some interesting trends like how many people really only play on the weekends and the popularity shifts of titles and such.
