new xbox 360 and project natal renamed

E3 is on and a couple of exciting new announcements from M$ already.

There is a new xbox 360 coming, new design and everything. a lot smaller than the current model, and it looks heaps better.




and Project Natal has been renamed to Kinect. much cooler than the rumour of Wave thats for sure.

Well they have said onboard wifi along with a internal 250gb hdd which is what should have been there to begin with, also whisper quiet..... so i hope to god they redid the cooling on this thing being a "slimmer, sleeker design" in my books "slimmer and sleeker" means same shit packed tighter into a smaller box which is good in a way, but more shit crammed tighter into a box, to which that stuff produces heat, not good IMO, let hope they got it sorted.

Looks good will admit, not a big fan of the Konect , if i wanted to play a wii ill play my wii.

Also while we are on E3, COD: Black Ops its been announced that Activision will be timing its DLC releases with the xbox 360, meaning we get it before any other format, which is cool, but the thing they noted is that its not specific for Black Ops, more so its for any COD releases, but its for 3 years on the 360.

So that being said, im gunna go out on a limb, is that a new xbox (not a improved 360) is hopefully coming out in 2012/2013 perhaps??

Either way, E3 looks to be massive for the xbox community, now, wheres a new steering wheel with clutch and decent force feed back Micro$oft??

face -> palm.

yeah, you're right... someone had to.

Just got an email from EB saying the new box will be available 1/7/10 for $449.
Built in wireless N is a pretty good move to.

so im up for 450 next time im at EB! not too bad i say.

A reveiw comparison

makes me want one even more haha.

just found this out. DSE has the new slim 360, plus 4 games, for $450. so so so tempting for me to empty my bank account and get one haha.

If anyone's looking for just the new console...

Slim XBOX

don't forget to say that DSE has free delivery, and the 4 games are Forza3, Halo ODST, Rainbow six Vegas 2, and Football (soccer) of some description.

Very tempting in deed with that sort of a bundle deal

yep it is, so tempting in fact im getting it tomorrow

You're the first to crack crow...I say with a large amount of jealousy. Saving my coins for a large diamond ring, so I can then save more coins to buy a new wheel. Ahhh you have all this to look to look forward to Mcrow.

picked up my new xbox on thursday pluged it in first thing it wont do is go wireless ...then i pay $24 for the cable to transfer hard drive to new xbox ..then i go into forza and most of my DLC cars are locked ,when i go to download them again they wont me to pay again. NOT HAPPY .

Does it not come with the transfer cable already? I'm pretty sure they said at E3 it would do, sucks if I was wrong.

you stole my crown Rinkly haha, i wanted to be the first OZFM'er to get one.

no the cable is not in the box that's why i'm not happy+ they don't tell you router has to be able to communicate with the inbox wireless
B Gates must think we are all drowning in money like he is

But Gates has absolutely nothing to do with Microsoft anymore, don't think he ever really had anything to do with the Xbox project.

if you need to be exact i bought mine at 9-10 am on thursday morning
if microsoft own xbox then Gates has us to thank for SOME of his wealth
