Xbox 360 Slim

In case you have not seen it yet, I have attached a pic of it. It will have a 250 gb HDD and built in wi-fi! Bout time! It will cost $299 and there are rumors that the Elite will drop to $249 and the Arcade $149.

Thought I would also mention the Kinect aka Natal, is rumored to be priced at $150 and the games are a full 60 bucks!!! If true, that pretty much means I don't want anything to do with it!

Hurray, built in wifi and as vivid gamers we all know how stable wireless connections are. Anyway, a lot of people ask for this and MS is right to do so. Kinetic (from what I saw it looks like Wii hd) I have no interest in. I already had a Wii I never used, great console and company, just not my thing.

IMO the inclusion of wi-fi is well needed. 802.11n is pretty stable and should be more than acceptable for the majority of gamers.

I agree on this Kinect stuff though, looks like a complete fad to me. I'm sceptical of the impact which both Sony and Microsoft will have with their iterations of casual gaming this late in the console life-cycles. It feels like they've seen the success of the Wii and implemented similar characteristics as an after thought.

I'd quite like to see a size comparison between the original xbox 360 design and the slimline version. Its quite funny how you still need a huge brick of an external power supply!

Have you seen the Star Wars game for the Kinect? Almost makes me cry!

An on rails Star Wars game is just not doing it for me!

That's just terrible.... I'd like to kinect that game to the rubbish bin!

Thankfully prior to that I'd already watched the Force Unleashed 2 trailer and got all giddy... I mean, seriously guys. Stormtroopers already have nicknames about their legendary inability to hit a freaking Star Destroyer at point blank range with a rifle, but now you've made a game in which they seem to not even be able to hit a huge cluster of Star Destroyers that are completely stationary with a TANK!?

The Slim itself actually has me kind of happy. I'd always thought it extremely stupid that the old 360 didn't have a built in Wi-Fi connection personally. And I actually kind of like the new case as well, has a computer tower vibe to it.

The kinect unleashed!

Hm... So for Natal's (I refuse to call it by its new name) launch titles, they created what is basically Nintendogs, Wii Sports, Mario Kart/ModNation Racers, and a crappy 3rd party Nintendo party game, AND takes voyeur pictures of you while you're embarrassing the hell out of yourself...? Great job guys! :\
