Kind of pointless imo.

Pay an extra $150~ for the same hardware in a shinier wrapper.

The built in Wi-fi is the only saving grace imo.

They'd have to lower prices and have more reliable hardware with a more sustainable cooling system to make this even remotely appealing.
I suppose time will tell though.

Another good point Weewoo. The original Xbox 360 has heating issues, packing it into a smaller and less ventilated casing will only hurt the life time expectancy of the console.

Kinetic is a horrible name also, Natal sounded far better.

I'll be avoiding Kinetic myself personally, If I want to play the Wii, I'll play the Wii.

Didn't the original Xbox 360 have something ridiculous like a 63% out-of-box failure rate? They would have to make huge strides in hardware reliability to make this work, otherwise I just see another brick with a big price tag in the making.

Not particularly, Lag + Motion control sounds incredibly frustrating to me.

lol microsoft finally decided to do it huh.


"Lollookwhoisgonnatryandcopysonynow"


IMO they're too late in the game to be announcing this type of thing, they should have already had (AT LEAST) the wi-fi thing on the normal 360s, the only reason they didn't was because micro$oft is just greedy, 100 bucks for a small plugin wireless thing... no thanks.


GG Microsoft, you finally FINALLY did something right.

How about the hard drive prices, though? It's just a standard hard drive in a pretty plastic case with a connection adapter shoved on the end. Look up how much that drive REALLY cost Microsoft some time.

Only times I lag is if it's a game that has 20+ people in one lobby. >.>;

I'm wondering what games they plan on making with Kinetic.

Not a fan of the redesign. They should have just saved their money because this Kinect is going to FLOP and it's going to hurt.

What a boring way to start E3.

Actually, the technology used for Natal, was originally offered to Nintendo but they turned it down and Microsoft jumped on the opportunity. I see it as a brilliant business opportunity that Nintendo will be kicking themselves for if it turns out as great as they're making it out to be.

But isn't a fair amount of stuff today just copied from other things and slightly modified? I think the most original thing I have seen in say.. a week is a list of 20 phones that were extremely out of place.

Meh, the design for the slim is really plane jane. Aesthetically I liked the original since it had that nifty hourglass figure and looked decent standing up or lying down. This new one took box a little too literal.

Still am not impressed, they could have done so much more, but yet they didn't ... hard drive? I can probably buy a drive 5x as big for less then Microsoft will probably offer them as "upgrades"

Are the hard drives even interchangeable? If not it's just yet another negative thing.

I used to have a 360, had it for awhile, but I ended up selling it because everything I wanted to do with it always had some stupid cost to it or I had to buy some stupid piece to use it.

I dunno, it doesn't look much different other than applying sharper angles on the edges and adding a slightly more appealing ventilation grill on the side. But really, that's a piss poor design change. Is that supposed to be the "elite"?
