Haven't received mine yet but strangely, in the last couple of days, my 3G has been working very well which, for it, is strange behavior. 3G speeds are going fast, the apps aren't overly laggy, and most are not crashing anymore.
No problems so far, and I bought two of them. In fact, not only was activation instantaneous (the AT&T store guys were great) but porting took minutes. I was amazed that porting is now instant too. Last time I did it it too two weeks.
This is why the PS3 is far superior... less issues.
Sorry 360 Fan boys.. but the 360 has been a mess since day one. Typical MS crap, they take 2 years to resolve things.. I'm sure Vista will work great after Win7 comes out. They don't care about their customer base like Sony does. If there is an issue.. Sony seems to resolve it usually within 24 hours.
I think it may be random, I just got my Xbox from Santa Claus, and I get no sound through HDMI.
Not sure if it was mentioned but the only way for me to get sound is to take my HDD off, start up the console and let it load, then put the HDD back on then it resets itself and I have sound.
@Cameron Whaley: huh, my brand new Samsung doesn't have any problems with the audio over HD, but I did also buy a brand new xbox arcade at about the same time to replace my unreliable launch era xbox...
But I also don't normally use the TV speakers, so it may have been intermittently dropping out with out me noticing (I use the HDMI->TV and AV/optical out to my old 5.1 deck)...
But I know the audio signal on the HDMI works whenever I have the TV speakers on.
While this corrupted graphics issue does suck, why do you post such crap Giz?
"Patch that does not mention problem X does not address problem X?" Seriously? In other news, tomato soup does not cure migraines, and Kobe Bryant still does not improve your gas mileage. Outrage!
@diabolusunknownTheSecond: Well, that's sort of true. I installed a video card that was bit too advanced for my mobo, so it didn't position properly on one of the monitors it was hooked to. VGA was perfect, but DVI gave me a bright pink line about 2mm wide on one side. Had to downgrade. Moral is, compatibility is a little more complex than "does it fit?"
@Dafrety: that seems to be very true. Every first gen product has some kind of serious error that takes forever to fix. As attractive as I find the new MacBook, I wouldn't buy one for at least another 6 months.
That said, with the hardware bump on the $1000 Macbook (white) it seems like that might be the best way to go right now. Basically the same hardware, including the graphics chip, but $300 less.

You know, the $30 adapter still exists, and for the most part, users are not going to be hooking up their Macbooks to dual-link DVI externals.

Sure, but shouldn't those who *want* to do this be able to?

In the PC world, we can take our adapters to anything that will fit it.
