I dont feel threatened in any way that this is some new MS era that will make the "hardcore" titles i like nonexistant in the future.
I see this Kinect thing as getting people like my wife (who is not a gamer) wanting a console.
The "do it all" box in the living room is somthing I know Sony and Microsoft have worked towards for years.The PS2 being alot of peoples first DVD player for instance. I never felt that it was less of a game system because it also...

Im going to "guess" what I think it will be priced like with the 250GB system.
If the rumored pricing holds true,$399.00 sounds plausable to me.
A Wii drop to $150 could happen, but the darn thing is still selling well at $200 so who knows?

Me too.This one looks like fun as well.

I can see that video chat feature being popular. Big way to draw even more females to consoles for starters....

Yeah I just checked it out. I didnt see bundles with Kinect but saw Kinect by itself for $149.00
Im curious what the "new 360" costs with Kinect,but its only June and Santa is geeting my daughter a Wii or Kinect......

Was there good rumors about? Sure,no argument there.Pretty impressive IMO to keep it secretive enough that they have already BUILT some, and they are about to drop on store shelves though. Sony did a good job with that last year too with the slim.

No need to release firm pricing now. Wait till you have a better idea what the competition is going to do with (Wii/Move) and hold off price info untill its very close to launch time.
LOL..I mean see what they did with the redesigned console? It was only rumored to exist yesterday and then we find out its LITERALLY coming to store shelves.

Yeah but a 1 year warranty has been the standard deal with all consoles for a awile now including the 360. MS only elected to provide a "limited' warranty extension of 3 years due to a increased frequency of certain problems. Car manufactuers do stuff like this too. Like Toyotas warranty extension of certain engines for sludge or V/6 Honda/Acura models with automatic trannies.
If my 360 was to get a read error, im SOL..But if it were to red ring, it gets all new guts.

If its 189.00 for basically Natal and a Arcade together, that undercuts the Wii by 10 bucks right?

Yeah I just bought RDR a few days ago and I'm really enjoying it.Closest thing to playing a Clint Eastwood movie ive ever seen!
Voice acting/story so far is better than GTA IV IMO and the controls are good.

Since its credible,does that mean that the estimated Natal price of $100 Bizweek stated will be used by MS haters instead of $150?

Im aware of that, but was just saying if its already there on a console thats ready to go.
Like the Twitter/Facebook.

If they dont charge me any additional fees for it, then I simply have the option of watching Hulu on the 57" HDTV as opposed to the 17" laptop.
If its a addional service with a fee,I'll continue to use it on the PC only.
Facebook and Twitter are free too,but i guess some people like it integrated into their game console.

I buy several cars a month I see on CL for my business.I Advertise on it too.
Is there alot of BS and scammers on CL? Yeah...But you just need to weed through it and learn how to spot em.

I'm sure someone is making one. IMO even a ported and grapically souped up version of Black should have been a launch title for the PS3.

So its basically a DVR? Dish Network and DirecTV offer that as does just about every cable provider.
I love it though.Havent watched a commercial in a long time....

I was just trying to illustrate the flawed logic in delving into "hypotheticals".
But time invesments as opposed to monatary ones?
Time IS money.
Theoretical discussions are fine IMO. But cherry picking certain parts and omitting others just isnt productive IMO. You cant approach it like a salad bar, where you get what you want and leave the rest.

And where would this money come from? Theoretically of course.

5719d ago 0 agree1 disagreeView comment

Exactly. Where would the incentive be to make them better,faster,prettier,more fun..etc? Would you work as hard if you were unpaid? Heck..would you even work?
We would all be playing a bunch of shovelware that would make your average Shockwave game seem brilliant in comparison.

5719d ago 2 agree1 disagreeView comment

I checked out the list.other than a few notable exceptions (Mario games,GTA SA,etc) theres a whole lot of casual games there!
And people wonder why MS and Sony are scrambling to get some of that market.......
