Built in WiFi, and 250GB Smile

Quote:
* Microsoft introduced a new glossy-back Xbox 360 console. "Sleeker, "leaner" and "whisper-quiet" according to MS. Comes with build-in WiFi-N and a 250gb from the same price as the current 120GB 360 (299usd). Ships to retailers today, available in stores this week (US-only, rest will get it later (mid-July for EU?) apparently).



And just underneath it, the new Kinect (Previously Project Natal)

What is due to come after the 360 though and when is that due out. I don't see the point in buying one if in a few years time they will release a 720 or something.

True though. I've had Wi-Fi and a 250GB HD since November, not as if they're breaking new ground in that respect.

Natal is the only thing MS have that is going to make a difference if they market it right, dont personally think PS's Move will do well, just a glorified Wii+ remote.

I personally don't see the appeal of a character on screen replicating my moves or talking to a virtual boy. Amazing technology & i'd like to try it but it just seems like it'll appeal more to kids or when you have friends over.

The games are obviously going to be limited & from what i've seen, they do look very bland & unexciting.

Be interesting to see how responsive it is, especially that racing game. Smile

If they could somehow create 'virtual' controls so you could play more in depth games it'd become even more interesting. But i don't see how just with 2 hands & voice control.

It's cool tech & i guess it's a start but doesn't look too appealing at the mo.

Huh? They have made a better one, it being quieter is defiantly an improvement, as is the wifi and HDD.

Are you expecting a new generation of console to come out, during a recession?

There's still a lot of life left in the 360 and this natal thing will only future that for some years to come.

I couldn't agree more.

I have watched them videos a shit load of times and I still can't figure out if the first one is staged. Is it just a video and she just talks between the bits to make it look real or is she actually talking to Milo.

You never upgrade your PC/TV/Phone etc then to get more/better/newer features?

I've had my 360 since Sept 2008, so must be due its first RROD soon, so once it does will get myself one of those shiny black ones.

I wouldn't bet on seeing another next generation console for a while yet. Thumbs Up

Peter Molyneux telling us how great a new product is going to be. I'm sure we can trust him 100%, there's no way he'd ever over exaggerate or flat out lie about what it is capable of. He's always been such an honest gentleman in the past.

Laughing

I'm looking forward to seeing what actually gets released but don't have big hopes for it after the very scripted examples they've given so far.

Perfect. It will match my TV now as well. Now, how do I manually RROD my current Xbox? I can't possibly justify another Xbox to my other half mid-way through saving for a wedding?! Laughing

Makes me think of the ps2 eye toy more than the wii. I do agree with you about it being a bit of a gimmick as although it is impressive tech, who wants to have to flail about to play a game? Then if you have a small house like a of the people in the UK, you probably wont even have the space to use it.

I had a look at the ad's on the 360 site, they're full of women and young kids using the Natal. This is what their aiming at.

Looks very similar to my desktop PC, but I think MS have missed the boat with a few things with this release though... e.g...

Arrow Bluray drive - having the capability for playing bluray movies, games would have to remain on DVD to keep backwards compatibility.

Arrow No HDMI 1.4 port - would help with the move to 3DTV etc..

Arrow Gigabit ethernet for media streaming - just no excuse not to include it these days.

Arrow Allow users to replace their own Hard drives with capacity of choice, there's no reason apart from MS wanting to dictate prices for a pitiful 250GB size.

With the inclusion of above, there would be far fewer reasons to buy a PS3.

Remember this is only a "facelift", not a new system. they also want to keep the price competative, selling at £200 is the same as the old model but you get the big drive and wi-fi.

Yes i do ..... when the need dictates it .

Fact of the matter is the wifi connection could have been included from day one , and the hard drive is a load of tosh - just microsoft packaging it in a way that you have to buy THEIR model HDD.

I'm not impressed with natal/kneict/PSMove, I dont want to bounce around my living room and lose weight.
I'd rather sit on my arse with a nomral controler.

All this stuff is purley aimed at the casual market, basically trying to cath up to the wii, nintendo expsoed a massive gap in the market and microsoft/sony are struggeling to catch up.

Us core gamers need not worry, we'll still get our normal goodies Smile

Impressed with how quiet the new one is Thinking
