[JMcEntegart]

Microsoft spent most of its E3 keynote talking about Kinect but it did save a few minutes at the end to cover the launch of its brand new Xbox 360.

Remember to wear gloves when you press the power button kids. ;p

I'm interested that the Elite's dropping to $249.

 

[scione]

Might be time to get an arcade.

 

[ak22]

ooow Shinny about time they got wifi still no bluray?

 

[qwerty45]

i like

 

[gpace]

Humm, interesting. They should think about a Kinect bundle with this.

Next thing you know, the Wii Slim will come out too at $200.

 

[tokenz]

I dont like it. Looks cheap to me. Glad they finally put wifi in though. Not that I care. I have it wired up, and before that I bought a wifi router and turned it into an access point for 30bucks, instead of the 100 they wanted.

The real news is the Arcade dropping to $150 and the Elite to $250.

 

[TomsSound]

They should have added blu-ray. HDDVD Lost the war.. time to move into the next generation already.

 

[husker]

Really? That is their "big" announcement that they touted as being bigger news than last years Natal announcement? Advancing technology always allows for smaller form factors of older technology. That's not an announcement that is an axiom that is universally known and expected.

 

[cekasone]

Never owned an XBOX before, don't know if I will now. PC for life and PS3 for Blu Ray

 

[frye]

I'm going to get it.

250GB hard-drive ($150 by itself), Wifi adaptor ($80 by itself) and now support for HDMI (mine doesn't have it) + being quieter? That's up to $230, plus Best Buy said they'll give me $80 for my old one.

That's $310!

 

[haakonmt]

Oh snap, why did they have to go the glossy way? Guess I'll stick to my old Elite for a while then.

 

[mr_tuel]

should have included wifi from the get-go

 

[lradunovic77]

And it is a crap, at least they could ship it with blu ray.

 

[azconnie]

But... now it's ugly. And probably still over-heats.

 

[descendency]

I want one... but I don't want to spend $300 for it.

 

[shovenose]

well its about time. but i think it looks a little cheap and flimsy

Wow what a bunch of hypocrites. Greenberg quote from last holiday season-

When asked about the PlayStation 3 Slim and whether Microsoft would ever consider such a redesign for its console, Greenberg said, "We feel great about the hardware that we have in the market today and our focus has been on great bundle and doing things like the holiday bundle, and not on going back to the drawing board on a console."

Hmmm, well first that wasn't exactly true, as this link proves clearly-

Now this. Funny how they still have a lead at all when they've been playing technology catch-up to Sony all generation.
