New xbox 360 Slim

Sign in to disble this ad
Well. That was totally unexpected at E3. This thing is sweet.

Built in Wi-fi, 250MB hard drive, sleeker design, quiter operating system, and less prone to red ring of death.

and the shocking part- only $299 and the are shipping out to stores.......TODAY




In other good news, the new motion sensor called Kinect (also known as project natal), will be out late 2010 and a Star Wars game will be out early next year.

The little Star Wars freak inside me is peeing himself.

I do not currently own a console. But if this is KotOR 3, I'm not gonna wait for the PC version.

Why spend 300 when you can just send it to microsoft and get it fixed for free?

Mine red ringed barely a month out of its 3 year warrantee, so no free repairs. Haven't played 360 in most of a year.

I was going to just buy a new one, but now I may just have to wait for this - will it accept old 360 hard drives?

Not to mention any of the old republic games would hardly be a good use of a body sensor motion controller.

Xbox 360 slim, eh, I already have an Xbox :/ Kotor 3 however

Personally, I'm liking another hot pursuit game and m vs. c 3. The 3ds could also be awesome, but we'll see.

Actually, after looking more into this I found out it's two separate games. The KOTR game is for PC.

The new game for the motion sensing is like the new cartoon Star Wars. That kinda kills the fun, but it was developed with Lucas Arts. So we shall see.

Yea Bioware the guys who made the first kotor at getting backed financially by EA and LucasArts to make this mmo. Its based around the same time period as kotor

The one thing I don't get is the new says "Kinect-Ready", so does that mean the old 360's will need an adapter for Kinect?

I'm still going to sell mine and get this either way.
