Wont it become sticky or slippery with sweat? I woudnt' go for it. Cuz with 5-6 hours continuos play hands become sweaty.

Horny6598d ago (Edited 6598d ago )

not many people want to risk their x box over heating playing that long. I damn sure wont leave it on for more than 2 hrs so that wont be a problem.

Looks good, but unnecessary unless you have kids running around.

@Deee
Mine often runs for 7-8 hours, and I haven't had any problems :>
Only problem I've ever had with my 360 since launch is a game (Ninety-Nine Nights) freezing twice.

@dee

I agree with mari, i play cod4 daily online for 4-5+ hours. Since it got back repaired 6 months back i haven't had any problems.

gaffyh6598d ago

The normal 360 controller is durable enough.

jollygoodchap86598d ago

that was my thoughts exactly.

They are very sturdy, but I guess it doesn't hurt to have a controller that can reflect bullets...

The army should have waited for these instead.

I want one. Hand- AND eye-candy :>

xboxftw6598d ago

Well, i guess with matching 360 chrome face plate it will make chicks want to touch it.

marichuu6598d ago

That tells me more about the chicks than the faceplate xD

Herbert tholdpervert6598d ago

Report suggests the UK is a console nation

Bit-Tech: Perhaps the biggest surprise was that the tide of console gamers is a cultural phenomenon which does not appear to cross every border. According to NPD's research, while the UK has the highest incidence of console usage out of all the markets analysed Germany boasts the biggest number of PC gamers.

France, meanwhile, is clinging on to dedicated hand-held consoles like the Nintendo 3DS and Sony PlayStation Portable at a time when NPD's analysis shows that gamers in most other nations have ditched theirs in favour of getting their portable gaming fixes on smartphones and tablets.

"when NPD's analysis shows that gamers in most other nations have ditched theirs in favour of getting their portable gaming fixes on smartphones and tablets."

you mean like japan, europe or the US where the 3ds is breaking records?

People are ditching the 3DS so fast in the US, 3ds sales have doubled over ds first year sales and the year isnt even over.

No source, no truth

who approved this garbage?

Knight_Cid5197d ago

you shouldnt be proud to approve slander

ATi_Elite5196d ago

but 250 million global online PC Gamers say other wise.

Everyone with a Gaming PC can play Wii Games so does that mean the world is a Wii Nation?

I think people just enjoy Games and it really doesn't matter the platform.

Console Nation, PC Universe, iPhone Realm, doesn't matter just enjoy your Games.

StayStatic5196d ago (Edited 5196d ago )

Considering most PC Gamers will own 1 or more consoles , declaring the UK as a "console nation" is complete and utter bollox.

kevnb5196d ago (Edited 5196d ago )

owning a console and playing the occasional game once in a blue moon doesnt make you a console gamer. Just like owning a pc and maybe playing some random flash game doesnt make you a pc gamer. Alot of pc gamers bought ps3s, its a blu-ray player and media hub that plays games.

guitar_nerd_235196d ago

I'm from the UK and game on nearly every platform I can think of.

But yes in general I'm more thumbs than fingers when It comes to my games.

Paul Christoforo to Write a Book Based on the Ocean Marketing Debacle

Remember in December of last year when Paul Christoforo became the pariah of the internet? Ocean Marketing was at the center of a scandal that took the internet by storm after Christoforo exchanged rude, angry emails with a customer of Avenge Controllers, for whom Christoforo was providing customer service. I recently had the chance to speak with Paul about the whole ordeal and what his life has been like since.

That is a very nice looking xbox 360.

gamingdroid5210d ago

That does look sick and the sound is even more awesome. Too bad the darn Xbox 360 is so expensive still.

LX-General-Kaos5210d ago

When the Wii U drops the xbox prices will take a serious nose dive. Hopefully they still have that particular one floating around retail.
