Title is extremely misleading, I was expecting a NEW CONTROLLER.

yea still doesnt beat a ps3

 

[volks1470]

That's exactly what I was thinking! New controller design?? What?? Nope...

 

[cpike84]

Big deal. They are throwing in 2 games that are on the clearance racks at retail stores now for only $20 each.

I am struggling to find any thing "New" in this news at all. At least it was a short waste of time.

The real question is, when are we going to be seeing (or at least, hearing some buzz) new consoles? The 360 is the most dated console of the three, and the Wii doesn't even off HDMI or true HD resolutions. There is plenty of room for improvement in consoles... so let's get with it already.

And while their add it... how about building some expanability into the damn thing. Have an available SIMM port or two behind a screw plate, give us the ability to switch out existing drives (with standard SATA drives, not ones epoxied into their proprietary mounting). There are so many ways they could do this and yet still retain control of the console. Plus, it would give them something to market while they were in between console models.

NOTHING WORTH MENTIONING HERE. SAME OLD SAME OLD. WHAT THEY NEED IS TO RELEASE PROJECT NATAL FOR CHRISTMAS IF THEY WANT THE EDGE. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY ARE WAITING SO LONG TO LAUNCH IT. THEY ALREADY HAVE A HAND FULL OF GAMES MADE SO THERE IS NO REASON NOT TO LAUNCH IT NOW.

Correct title: New xbox 360 bundle for Holiday '09

hakesterman: turn off your capslock

 

[smokinu]

I would have to agree with the previous post on this one. Tell you what "I smokinu forum noob have just invented a new xbox 360 controller myself in PURPLE!!!!" ok who wants to buy? It's NEW!!

I think Marcus Yam (the author) is just really excited because he thinks he's getting a new 360 and a new wireless controller for the '09 holidays. We'll see, Marcus! if you're good...

 

[gt1209]

I thought there was going to be a new 360 console and a new 360 controller by reading the title. Couldn't we just say "New super-duper kiddie friendly Xbox 360 bundle coming this Holiday" instead?

 

[mr_tuel]

Its just a new combo deal with the existing Elite: A console, 2 clearance-priced games, and one controller. MSFT has always had a combo deal like this. Last time I believe it was with the Pro and the Kung-Fu-Panda game. I bet this new combo pack won't include any HD cables (component/HDMI).

 

[xophaser]

No natal controller here, I'll hit the back button now.

 

[bad_code]

xBox 360 needs controllers like the PC and PS3. I feel sorry for those people who say Forza is so realistic, as they shift the tiny stick on the xBox controller with their thumbs.

 

[hixbot]

^^Because the PS3 controller lets you play Forza any differently? What are you trying to say?
People who play Forza use the wheel.

Can we do a "thumb down" on an article when it is useless and with a missleading title ?
If yes, where is the button please.
