Completely forgot about this. Awesome. I'll probably do that.

I'm also hoping that in the process of upgrading it'll come with Natal. That way if Natal turns out to not totally suck (doubtful) then I will probably save some cash on getting it. Buying it bundled with a new console would probably be cheaper than buying the new console and then adding Natal later.

Haha Microsoft stuff had to leak at some point. Funny that's again the Italien department that might be responsible. I think it was 2 years ago when we got the full press release before the conference even started. :lol

I mean that's the aim, right? Do you think this will help them do that?

- Silent.
- Reliable.
- Smaller.
- Require less power.
- Not sound like the jet landing scene from Wayne's World.
- Have a good sized HDD included (give us some fucking value for once).

Do that and the overall look won't really bother me, even if that picture is ugly. Looks like somebody smashed it with a metal pole. Might just be the angle though. MS and Sony both went the semi-ugly route with their slim designs, maybe ugly is hot right now?

Atleast the console isn't as ugly as the new case designs. Now that's what I call ugly.

Lets be honest, how often do you stare at your PS3 or X360. I mean I play videogames not looking at my console all the time.

If this thing has build in WiFi and 250 GB HD and this thing is quiter, that's enough for me to get a new one :)

I really don't care if this thingie looks ugly, build in PSU would be awesome, let's hope so.

The Wii and Alienware comments seem on track really. Kind of the first vibe I had.

I like the design itself, but let's see that size. Too big and almost no reason to upgrade. Also see how it looks horizontal. It's going to be interesting to see what they call it.

If this is the real deal, then my E3 happiness curve point of origin is below zero. And assuming such, what happened to this "only 3 execs know about the 360 press conference" "Microsoft E3 on lockdown" etc...

Lets be honest here. Why go uglier when you redesign something?

I think it's the fault of MicroSoft's AdGuys. They probably wanted to activate the Ad for the day AFTER the Natal event. But it seems like they didn't consider, that this day starts in Europe before even the event started.

I wonder if there has been a controller redesign as well. Like a useable d-pad and built in li-ion polymer battery.

DENT the reputation of your brand.

If it's cheaper, then yes. If natal is overpriced, then no.

Not as bad as the middle aged woman who put a credit card in there to buy Wii points.

There aren't any real advantages to slot loading drives aside from aesthetics though. Doesn't surprise me they would ignore it given that doesn't seem to be the biggest thing on their list.

Slot-loaders are much more convenient when the console is vertical.

Ahah, you can see what I mean in the youtube vid. Watch the start carefully and you can see that it's all wrong... and the vents just sort of appear after the spin animation.

Will have to wait for the real thing I guess.

Their ad partners fucked up on the UTC time conversion for the ad's visibility date
