I watched a video on Spike HD that specifically said it was a video of controller free gameplay of the StarWars game. Not live play. On Spike HD, It did not show a person live controlling the demonstration like with all the other games with Kinect.
After finding that video online, That video referenced above shows a person jumping infront of a screen that is showing a prerendered video. The person was not using the Kinect Device like with the other demontrations.
The above picture is taken out of context.

| Integrated wireless... About time they began integrating that. I kept hearing complaints about people being unable to use their 360s on the Internet either because the Microsoft wireless adapter was too expensive, a Bridge adapter was too expensive, or they had no access to Ethernet with no Wi-Fi. There are some who have asked about using their laptops to serve the Xbox 360 Wi-Fi which worked flawlessly, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

| Re: Now with more LAG ever notice the extra 40 ms of lag on a wifi connection ? me neither but some gamers will kill for that 30 to 40 ms. I don't get it but to each his own.
I bet the "slim" comes in at a heftier price tag.
Or maybe this will solve their over heating issue , by maybe using the metal case as a heat absorption device?
I just want to see the tear down, Im interested in if they solved the over heating.
And I will note I still have a first run 360 that runs literally 60 to 80 hours straight without over heating at all.

I just want to see the tear down, I'm interested in if they solved the over heating. each successive motherboard they've had has used less and less power. RROD hasn't been much of an issue for well over a year maybe two. The new motherboards have CPUs that are 45 nm. The new xbox has one huge fan instead of 2 small fans. If you see the pics it has huge vents too. | |

My neighbors have every channel covered,and even some of them have n using multiple channels , and they all compete for the channels, adding 50 ms or more while it has to keep trying to send the packets.
Beisdes surely you must notice tongue in cheek humour also ?

2 edits | There are ways of using your own drive... and they do use laptop hdd's... though they must be Western Digital I believe and formatted with M$ filesystem... Though when you do something like that with the hardware it then violates the EULA (which can cause your system to be banned). So, thus rendering an upgrade pointless... as well as the filesystem limiting you to 120 GB's (mybad they upgraded the fs for 250 gb hdd's now anyways...) anyways... | |

| Re: Awesome! the difference being that they can watch ESPN3 on their TVs instead of their laptops.
For me, that is a very, very big difference. I cut cable years ago. The only thing I miss is the occasional sporting events. I have ESPN3, but a laptop/desktop just aint the same as a nice big TV.
And in 720p "HD" to boot? It'll probably be 3mbps highly compressed HD, but that's still better than what ESPN3.com is streaming.

| Re: It's only a matter of time Ugh, I know. It's disappointing, honestly. The hardware has made such bounding leaps ahead, yet there aren't any worthwhile games being released. Games aren't intuitive anymore, simply too straightforward. Maybe it's this reason that I'm discouraged from purchasing goods from these companies.
I say, move onward! I know Microsoft made leaps ahead with Windows 7... now why can't they do the right thing, and produce a new and upgraded platform -- that would HOPEFULLY be backwards compatible!
I'd love a PS3 -- Except the new ones aren't backwards compatible. That, honestly, is my entire reason for not purchasing.
Sad... competition isn't working.
Nintendo has targeted the families, as always.
Sony & Microsoft aren't adequate competitors, as, (in my humble opinion) xbox live is superior to PlayStation Network. It's sad. I say we need more competition! | |

Boulder, CO | 360 Arcade systems for dirt The best thing about this annoucement is dirt-cheap XBOX 360 Arcade systems.
The Arcade is $150 now, but Target has it at that price PLUS you get a $50 gift card.
I just walked out of Target this morning with a brand-new 360 Arcade effectively for $99 (since I buy stuff like food and home supplies there anyway). | |

for those of us that have(had) a 360 without an HDMI port the arcade is great
I traded in my old 360 and got one with an HDMI port (out of pocket cost was $60) and now if I play my HD DVD's or downloaded 1080P video it plays at 1080P (I hate HDCP with the fury of 1000 white hot suns) | |
