So Microsoft isn't catering to a crowd of just gamers anymore. Now it's both a gaming machine and family platform. That is simply marketing a different demographic. The system still has the best online system, best games, and the best of gaming technology like Kinect.

Every store in Cincinnati, OH has one in stock. Sound like a sales pitch to raise prices. If you were going to sell your Xbox now would be the time.

No details on what is changing? I assume it has to do with the addition of the Keyboard and better ways to integrate pro instruments. It is too bad they don't provide a free development platform for the PC where songs can be played and tested but then pay to upload. The whole $99 a year for the XNA membership is a bit much.

I went to the site. Put in a code and it crashed the site. I sent the error page to the MS support people but got no response. the free track suit was nice though.

Awesome! This is why I love Rock Band. They need a bigger pack and more Slipknot too.

None of these are deals. The HDD can be bought for $70 on ebay.

These numbers can't be right. With the release of a new COD, Halo, Rock Band, multiple Guitar Heros, Assassin's Creed, etc. Not to mention Kinect and the immense sales of hardware. That is just the Xbox. There is also the Move, Wii packages, etc. I don't see how it is possible that it went down from last year which didn't see much at all.

How has no one done a straight comparison to EA Active Sports 2? I prefer the heart rate monitor, online integration, free workout creation, and all the other in game features. It does require a lot of space to properly recognize the user though. Outside of that the game works great. I am hesitant to buy another workout game without seeing someone discuss them side by side.

I participated in the beta for this game and had to say it is a much better game than 1 vs. 100. This is a live game that will draw lots of poker fans to win real prizes. Definately hope it's free like 1 vs. 100.

If they have that much extra stock on the warehouse shelve perhaps they should sell it off cheap to get people back into the music genre. Perhaps they are charging to much. Perhaps they are over producing. Do what Ms does, make only a few then ramp up production to meet any demand. Rock Band and Dance Central are both amazing games but without decent priced instruments, music, and feature updates most people won't be interested. I just hope they don't ruin the series. The new ow...

This has been free all week. Actually it was part of the first day countdown deals. Lame

This is lame. You need room to use the Wii Remote so it is not a good system to be made portable. The thing doesn't even resemble a laptop. It looks more like a LCD on top of an ugly Wii. The Xbox 360 laptop was revolutionary and should be put to market in on-demand numbers. I think that one would sell because it was full laptop size and only need a remote and headphones.

We already knew it was coming for the PC a long time ago. When MS said it was working on releasing the drivers as part of the next XNA development package that means PC development as well as Xbox will be open to Indie developers. No more hacked drivers. The uses of the Kinect won't become apparent unless they can increase the accuracy and prevent lag. The video of XBMC on the PC are nice but the application interface needs to be redesigned thinking of Kinect usage. Developers will h...

I would just like to see a campaign similar to Armaggedon or Deception where you create your own character and customize their abilities and appearance. That was a long and fun campaign that should be back. Also the mini games like tetris and bumper cars were fun.

I should have waited to try this before buying a few songs :(

5511d ago 2 agree1 disagreeView comment

Have they said anything about modes other than fighting? If the game doesn't have a campaign style mode or other challenges to do as a single player I will not be buying this till the price hits $30. I don't think just fighting games are worth more than that anymore.

They should have made it support USB3 to eliminate transfer speeds. I will wait till they update the XNA development kit with proper drivers.

If memory serves me correct Kinect is the best selling device ever in the first 2 months. How could the Move beat it by that much...answer...it didn't.

I love Rock Band but they need to make game expandable and not just the music collection. A weekly/daily challenge like Halo Reach would be interesting. Guitar is just a s*** hole of a music game and makes the genre look bad. I hope Activision passes or the whole genre is over and I best sell my music stuff now.
