aww, you make it sound so bad! it wasn't horrible, you know?
at least, imo.



also, the first text that pops out in the video is:
"Whisper Quiet"

LOL

XD ...anyway, uh. apart the design (they could make the xbox even uglier!!! congratu-fucking-lations, MS!), i like the built-in wifi thing! :o that'd free me an ethernet port!


i don't know... it could interest me. o_o but what about what loki said?:

And what games work with Kinect, because as far as I can see, it's "xbox 360 jump in" thing at the end has the swirly thing, same as the ones at the end of Halo Reach...
I'm confused
Kinect is crappily and juvenilely named product that works as a motion-detecting add-on to the Xbox 360 that detects your body's movements and uses them as input for select games.

Well Taxi, the 360 was released a while ago. The xBox 3 will no doubt be announced within the next two years simply because they need to progress with technology and competition.
The xbox should've been upgraded around the time they removed the premium option from their website, to compensate for their lack of variety. It was either the shitty Arcade, or the overly priced Elite.
I don't understand why people have an appeal to this thing.
So what it has wifi? If you already have live, then I don't see a problem with the connection.
The hard drive? Who actually needs that much room anyway?
The design? It looks like a special edition Midnight Club xbox.
New quiet fan? Just buy a better fan and install it yourself, fans are so easy to replace.
In total, I'm sure one could upgrade to a much better xbox if they were to invest $100-150 bucks or so into it.

o_o don't you mean midnight crew?

but yeah, man! i totally agree with your points! (apart the fan one. <_< like, are you sure that is possible?) and i'm not going to buy a new xbox just because they claim it to be silent-er. <_<

i'm just saying that if for some reason my current console gives me the RROD, i may put some thought into getting the uglier one! o_o



also Zanghfei: it must have the RROD. ¬_¬ like, MS put the ™ on that.

And besides, why should you? You can install any game you're going to be playing for a substantial period of time. Once installed, the regular Xbox is quiet.

I was gonna get that 360, but instead got the arcade version. (kinda sucks, can't use the theater in halo 3 :() I MIGHT get kinect, this is relevant to my interests.

All I'm gonna say is that it should have been a sphere. Or perhaps a Dodecahedron.

I just bought the arcade when itCaene out and added a harddrive I bought off of eBay to it... Who cares if it's quiet and looks like batman? You can do everything it does for cheaper!
