New Xbox 360 slim and 360 kinect
 

At Microsofts confererence at E3 yesterday they announced the new Xbox 360 slim and the kinect. The slim 360 comes with a smaller power box, a 250 GB harddrive, free wifi, and is quieter than the models they have out now. The Kinect is basically a Wii with no controller using games redone to have no need for a controller. The Kinect is expected to go for $100 or less and the slim is going to sell for $300.

I wached the program yesyurday and it was awesome! It's unbelievable what it will be able to do. Another toy for my toy box!

Microsoft invented a time machine and invented a Wii. I have been keeping track of E3 and from all the sites all of them have been very disappointed with Microsoft's Wii. The games shown are Wii Sports, Wii Fit, and Mario Kart. I was expecting more out of Microsoft. Sony is going to eat them alive.

Microsoft didn't make the wii, Nintendo did. Microsoft made computers, Xbox, Xbox 360 and stuff. But I just can't wait till Kinect comes out!!! It is going to be better then the wii, it is going to master everything!!! And now sony making a, I think the magic wand or something, well since we heard Kinect by Microsoft, who needs controllers, Sony's idea isn't going to go well, just like the eye toy.

It won't be better than Wii.... Microsoft is just sad that their Xbox can't lead up to the Wii's success. So they just copied them by making something similar to the Wii. It's not that I'm one of those Nintendo fanatics. I do have a Wii though and it's awesome. I just reeeaaaalllly dislike Microsoft. lol.

Actually if it wasn't for Nintendo there wouldnt be a Sony and that means no Playstations and other stuff that Sony makes because wayyy back when Nintendo was one of the first game companys who were making Space Invaders and all the other classic arcade games Sony were part of the massive Nintendo and Nintendo being Nintendo broke the deal with Sony and they then made their own games and soooo if it wasn't for Nintendo Microsoft would be ALOT richer than they are now, so it just goes to show that you never know these game company's history.

When Nintendo's Wii came on the scene Microsoft and Sony dismissed motion control as a gimmick. Of course, with the Wii's phenomenal success they now both release their own (add-on) motion control systems.

Microsoft hasn't yet released pricing info for the Kinect, but if release lists are to be believed, a certain retailer puts it at 149.99.

A few gaming websites are reporting (over)heating issues for the xbox360 slim. Ruh roh.

I read something that they're trying to fix that by making the system shut itself down. It's also supposed to prevent the system from being turned on during that time.

If the article I read was true, it's kind of funny. Someone said that the other fix to the red ring of death was "the new Xbox 360 doesn’t have any red LED lights, just green." It also showed an image of a green "ring of death" with a red dot in the middle :laughks2:
