It's a fucking game system. You play video games on it.
And Kinect is Natal's final name :lol
Design's alright. It's not as bad as the original Xbox's, so there's a plus.
And Kinect? Really?
HOLY SHIT SAME FONT TOO :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Well, I'm predicting major bombing from this whole MS thing they got in the cards.
The redesign doesn't do anything to improve the image and it doesn't even look Slim, the new Natal name is borderline distinguished mentally-challenged and won't fly with casual consumer at all.
Man MS sucks so hard.

I think time has proven that there's no name for a product that doesn't sound distinguished mentally-challenged. Playstation, Xbox, move, wii, ipod, natal, anything...it all sounds kinda distinguished mentally-challenged. Nintendo Entertainment System is so sterile that it works, though. and at the time, that sounded high tech.
lol alienwareYeah, pretty much this.

Why not call it Wave?
Wave sounds organic, Kinect sounds like....well it sounds like shit only a level 100 nerd would think sounds cool (I'm a level 50 nerd btw).
Wii, Move, Kinect. Ugh...I'm sure the tech is impressive but that's a horrible name for the product.
•Kinectimals lets you train and play with 20 different virtual cats, including a lion, cheetah and tiger.

Does MTV Games have a development studio other than Harmonix, though?

wave is still cheesy though it does feel a bit closer to the core of the functionality of natal (using your hands to do shit.) Maybe i'm poisoned at the root knowing that all of this shit is decided on with 1000s of focus groups and millions in research about what's "cool." the corporate process for coming up with the name for something naturally arrives at something that feels patronizing. So anything they choose is like pre-ruined for me. :lolAdding "pre-ruined" to my lexicon of clever phrases.
The slim PS2 came at a perfect time; my PS2's disc tray was about to die right when they launched it.
Are you going to have to stand to play Kinects?
Who the fuck wants to stand for two hours while playing a game?
he has one tattooed upside down on his belly for ease of access:lol
yeah, i really don't give a fuck what my videogame systems look like, they're all ugly as sin to m
LOOKS HOT
:drool
I don't want to sound rude, but why would they make new controllers when this slim Xbox is a way to relaunch it with Natal aka controller-less gaming? Not that I wouldn't appreciate a perfected 360 controller.
LOOKS HOT
:drool
god you are disgusting atleast move will have actual games.
Looks bigger than the original X360, and uglier, too. I think MS is missing the concept of "slim"
OG Arcade is $149.

"45NM and integrated CUP and GPU." Is this that "Valhalla" chipset they rumors a while back that the CUP/GPU would be on one chip?
flash drive would work fine until you run into shit it won't transfer (OG xbox dlc, some save files).amasterninja on gaf once said that all saves can be moved now, including old ass saves like doa4.
X360 launched at 399 in 2005, here we are in 2010 with a redesign, why is it 299? I was considering getting it but this price is exorbitant
Kinect is also $149. Just a few dollars more and you can get a Wii with that kinda money. :lol Good luck Microsoft.

Yeah, me too. I was even thinking "Everyone will have to re-rip any CDs they've got on 360," but since those are already data which is internal to the system, it's coo'.How would you transfer your the information saved on your HDD?what info? gamertag? achievements? licenses? all that is live.
saves/dlc/games can be moved via usb.
Haha I completely forgot about the USB support they put out recently!
I don't like that the USB ports have been moved to the back of the system. I use those all the time for controllers.2 in front like always.
It still has 2 on the front.

I'm going to buy the $100 Xbox Arcade this weekend. Can anyone recommend a good Flash Drive, or does it really not matter?
Should be fine; the USB "compatibility" stuff is really only for DLC/game installs, IIRC.I'm going to buy the $100 Xbox Arcade this weekend. Can anyone recommend a good Flash Drive, or does it really not matter?
doesn't really matter, just get a sandisk and not some shit from china off ebay
I have an 8GB Toshiba flash stick. Will that be okay? It's just gonna be game saves and arcade stuff.
After looking at some high res pics of the redesign, I gotta say that I kind of like the look of it now. Not that I necessarily give a damn about that kind of stuff and I don't ever really see my PS3 or 360 since they're behind a cabinet door, but the 360 250GB isn't as bad as I first thought.I'm leaning toward it now, too. Man, a quiet 360 hooked up through HDMI... tempting.
If they're as quiet as reported, I might pick one up for the bedroom just for the Netflix thing.
flash drive would work fine until you run into shit it won't transfer (OG xbox dlc, some save files).
Sorry to keep going on about this, but the 360 will recognize any size flash drive, yeah? It's not just 8GB and 16GB units, is it?That's correct, it'll just divide the stick into a 16GB portion for the X360 stuff and leave the rest free for your other crap.
starting to see this on my 360 today

Microsoft covers repairs for the E74 error for a period of three (3) years from the original purchase date of the console. If you are outside the initial three-year warranty period, you can still receive console repair service from Microsoft for a fee for the E74 error. For more information about this repair process, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: (http://support.xbox.com/support/en/us/nxe/kb.aspx?id=941377&lcid=1033&category=hardware)
I can't wait to pick up mine. Hopefully I dont get proper fucked on trade in for a original xbox system but w/e. I'm excited about a xbox product. For once.
If you own an Xbox 360 you know the most annoying thing about it is the RRoD. You probably know the second most annoying thing about it as well, and that is that it can scratch the sh*t out of your discs. Nothing like plopping down $60 bucks just to get home and have the game ruined because your console destroyed it. You'd think this would be something the Microsoft would take care in their new version of the console since it seems they've taken care of many of the other issues the console had. Think again. Our intrepid E3 team tested the console out with an Alan Wake disc and then Nick decided to move it. Suddenly all hell breaks loose. Goodbye, Alan Wake.
Sure, there was a sticker on the damn thing saying not to move it, but it isn't like he was tossing it around the room. They're planning on having gesticulating children play Kinect anywhere near this thing? Some games are going to be getting destroyed, people. Looks like everyone needs to be really, really careful around their new 360s while they are on or their games are going to get wrecked.

Does the Wii or PS3 scratch the disk if you turn it 90 degrees mid-game?
It's a color we know so well, but it looks like Microsoft would like to dissociate itself from its RROD heritage, or perhaps just ran out of red LEDs: the new Xbox 360 only has a green ring around its power button, so even if you wrap the thing in a blanket and set it on fire, it won't be flashing red to tell you how it feels. This was unearthed in a spec sheet that Joystiq received from a tipster, along with all the other fancy specs you can see above. Overall the console is 17% smaller, which really goes to show that Microsoft was much more interested in noise and heat reduction than sliding the new 360 into a smaller crevice of your home entertainment center.

Looks like most places around me here aren't getting them until Monday, so that gives me the whole weekend to convince myself that I need one. Let's hope my current 360 doesn't have an "accident" between now and then!

My gamestop didnt have any so I bought a DSiXL instead
I got one! My first Xbox. I also picked up Crackdown, Dead Rising, Halo 3, Gears of War, Left 4 Dead and Fable 2. I took advantage of the game sale on XBLA and bought Castle Crashers, Trials HD, Shadow Complex and Geometry Wars.
Any game suggestions? I decided to start with some older games and work my way forwards. I'll be getting Mass Effect tomorrow. I heard that installing Halo 3 is a bad idea. Is this true? Are there free TV shows like on PSN? Anything else I should check out?
Has anyone bought any of the Games on Demand titles? Any thoughts on their pricing, performance, etc?
WTF, didn't you just buy a PSP?

this thing is so ugly. microsoft is pretty much screwed between this version that still overheats and Kinect being stupid expensive and laggy. Will buy a cheap arcade console when they eventually release Microsoft-ga-ga-ga to make fun of themselves for failing so hard.
I may have went a bit overboard in my return to Gamestop today. In addition to the 6 games I bought along with the console, plus the XBLA games I purchased, I just picked up:
Mass Effect 2
Left 4 Dead 2
Gears of War 2
Hitman: Blood Money
Forza 3
Deadly Premonition
Dyack's Folly
Kameo
Perfect Dark Zero
I guess I should start playing some games.

With my Edge card, the total was $122.06, but I traded in $38.60 worth of games, plus I had $15 put down on games that I had received review copies of, so I put that towards the total as well. Out of pocket I paid $68.46.
Edit: I know I shouldn't install Halo 3, does this apply to any of the games I bought today?
No
I would install Halo 3 anyway. The luxury of not having to use the drive outweighs any increased load time - supposed load time, anyway

Built in wireless N (PS Triple got b/g) a 250 g drive, has reduced power consumption drastically, is smaller and by all accounts I've read so far is quieter, all important aspects which have addressed problems with previous iterations. As with any new SKU new problems may arise with it at a later date but at first impressions it's a big upgrade from previous units. So yeah, relatively this thing be packin.
This new Slim 360 is awesome, I may be getting a free system because of it!! :rockI can finally like you.
So... they didn't fix the disc scratching issue and now the system still overheats?
Did they do anything to the damn thing or did they just put wireless in and drop a new plastic case on it?
qID, I can't believe you're even responding to such a clear case of sarcasm and empty trolling. Ask him how he likes his group voicechat, cross-game voicechat, playing his custom music while using any kind of network connection, being able to play games offline if you don't feel like updating over the course of hours, and how great it is to be able to demo any downloadable game before committing to a purchase.
That's if he was being sarcastic about the superior feature set of the PS3. If he was being sarcastic about the Wii, just ask him about his friends list.

Kinect bundles and $199 360 confirmed (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/kinect-bundles-and-USD199-360-confirmed) (reg req'd for full article)
Microsoft has appeared to confirm hardware bundles with the Xbox 360 and Kinect, as well as a $199 version of the redesigned Xbox 360 console - although details remain sparse.
An internal marketing Q&A obtained by website Kotaku indicates that the newly unveiled Kinect camera system will be available as "part of a bundle with the newly designed Xbox 360 console".
Although console bundles for Kinect have been widely assumed throughout the industry, Microsoft's refusal to announce a price for the standalone Kinect system meant that no package deals have been officially confirmed.
The Kinect price is due to be revealed at the gamescom event in August, but multiple retailers are already listing it for $150.
The website of U.S. retailer GameStop has previously listed a $299 Arcade bundle with Kinect, as well as a $399 Elite version - although both these listings now appear to have been removed.
The Q&A also confirms that Microsoft will release "a $199 Xbox 360 this fall". Although this would seem likely to refer to a cheaper version of the new, slimline Xbox 360, the exactly wording of the document is ambiguous.
The only version of the redesigned Xbox 360 confirmed by Microsoft at E3 is currently listed for $299 and includes a 250GB hard drive and a built-in Wi-Fi adapter. If this is assumed to be equivalent to the current "Elite" Xbox 360 SKU, then a $199 version is likely to be equivalent to the Arcade bundle.
The current Arcade SKU does not include a hard drive and is instead bundled with a 256MB memory card. However, the redesigned Xbox 360 does not feature memory card slots and instead has two additional USB ports.
While specifications for any cheaper SKU remain purely at the speculation stage, possible candidates for feature-removal in a cheaper SKU might thus include the 250GB hard drive, or the newly-integrated wireless networking - which required a costly add-on on the older models of 360.

Reading comprehension, ftl.
If you're going to talk about PC gaming, let's get into how inferior the 360 is because it lacks printer drivers, and how bad the PS3 is because you can't use OpenOffice any longer.

Whatever the S stood for when they released the Xbox Controller S.
So anyone buy it yet?
I don't care that it's not actually slim, I'm just confused by the chosen moniker vs. the reality.

yeah, never ever stand your 360 up vertically
Nutjuice, that's cuz you're only using it for Netflix.
Microsoft's just dropped details on its new Xbox Live family subscription plan. Starting in November, it will offer the Gold Family Pack, enabling up to four users to have Xbox Live Gold subscriptions, for $99.99 a year. It'll also debut the Family Center, a new menu accessible from the dashboard for customizing account settings. We've certainly wished for something like this in the past, and the pricing sounds like a pretty good deal to us -- we'll be able to afford a new cap for our avatar, afterall! Full press release is below.
Cool, so the S stands for nothing.
99USD/year is too much.
99USD/year is too much.
For four accounts??? Goddamn everybody wants everything for free.
Update: We just heard from Microsoft that you could split these four accounts across consoles, so long as they were all in the same country. To do so, first the second, third and fourth accounts need to be added to the same console as the primary account holder. After they are activated onto the Family Pack, they can recover that account onto a different console.
Problem with sharing these among friends instead of just family members is that the primary account holder is still responsible for purchases, meaning, people who add points on the other three accounts will just bill the primary account holder. Which would be great, if you weren't the guy paying for your three chumps' DLCs.

This actually came up for me when trying to use Video Chat, where I logged in and was talking to my sister in the USA. My wife wanted to talk at the same time, so I pulled out an extra controller and headset, and turned them on. It wouldn't recognize the other controller's mic, so I logged in my wife's Silver account. The 360 ended the Video Chat without warning or explanation. It wouldn't allow me to restart the video chat until I'd logged out her account. It pissed me off.
Last but not least, as we just discovered, you can simply rip open your old Xbox 360 hard drive and slot it into the case, at which point it will be immediately recognized. Needless to say, we don't recommend this route for a variety of reasons... we hear Microsoft's warranty support service doesn't take kindly to freely bouncing hard drives.
What advantage would electronics bring over a regular physical coxbox?I cannot parse this.

I beat Mass Effect 2! And I've played MW2 for a few days total!
