From what I've read and heard (the Rubik's company has done a good job of spreading the news of the 360 through the press), the 360 is like the Magic because there is only one solved state.

So it will probably hold your interest for the first few solves. Then it will lose its novelty after you try doing the same thing over and over again.

Nevertheless, I'm interested in seeing if and how the 360 will be implemented in WCA competitions...

You didn't do a very good job describing this. The 3x3x3 only has one solved state

And not every Rubik's puzzle is done in competition. I expect this one not to be included. It might show up in competitions as a price though

As said above, thats not exactly what happens with the magic. The magic is solved the same way, every time. This is more of a puzzle, where you have to figure out how to get it through. I think it will be fun, not just for the first few solves.

LOL yeah. If i'm not mistaken, most puzzles only have one solved state.

Oops.

I stand corrected. What I said was stupid and inaccurate. Disregard my previous post. :(
