P90X fitness workout

Has any here experienced the 90 day P90X fitness workout? I am in the US at
the moment and have been bombarded with (impressive) ads on the P90X
workout.
I have to admit I am impressed by the 90 day workout results, however am a
sceptic at "awesome and amazing results achieved in 90 days". Those
promoting it though do claim it does require effort and is demanding
however, in my view from what I have seen, I am impressed.
Any feedback on the product, results achieved and the workout???

go to youtube, there are about 8 zillion p90x people clogging up the
internet with their workouts and testimonials.

it's just hype and will IMHO go away faster than it came in.

I know several people that have purchased (and actually use) P90x.
However, I myself have not personally used P90x, so take whatever I have
to say with as large a grain of salt as you feel is necessary.

Basically several of the "fitness" people that I associate with in real
life have purchased P90x. For the most part they actually like it,
which in itself is quite telling.

I personally have no trouble believing that you can achieve amazing
results in 90 days with P90x. From what I have seen all of the P90x
workouts are strenuous, and most are well over an hour long. Do one of
those workouts daily for 90 days while following a sensible eating plan
and you are basically bound to see some changes in your body.

The "muscle confusion" stuff is pure gimickry in my opinion. The set
comes with 12 different workouts that stress different movements, but
the bottom line is that you are going to be doing about an hour and a
half of body weight exercises and cardio every day.

Of course, I have a hard time believing any program could be good if it
doesn't include deadlifts, so this could just be my own prejudices
talking.

Personally, I think that just about everyone would be better off
purchasing an inexpensive 300 lbs. weight set from their local sporting
goods store. A brand new Olympic set should set you back less than
these DVDs. However, if you are looking for what is essentially a
weighted cardio workout; if you like the idea of working out in front of
your television, and if you have $120 burning a hole in your pocket; you
could certainly do worse.

I have a buddy that is a firefighter that really liked the workouts.
What's more his wife was able to work up to a single set of 12 pullups,
which is impressive.
