You're still young.

Anyone else want to take potshots at an offhanded opinion I posted 2+ months ago?

New 360S for people who have older model 360's

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-20063909-17.html

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2...are-update.ars

There's an upcoming firmware update which may render your old 360 incompatible with games. If your system is one of these, you can fill out a repair form and MS will send you a new 360S in exchange for your old one. Updates start tomorrow...I'm hoping I get a new 360S!

Interesting. Haven't fired up the 360 in awhile to see if I was affected.

Hmm.... wonder if mine'll be included in that. I haven't touched my Xbox in over a year, but it'd be nice to get a new one

I had one of the original launch consoles too, but it was sent in for repairs and I most likely got some other repaired one back.

Microsoft Offering Students a Free 4GB Xbox 360 with PC Purchase

http://www.facebook.com/windows?sk=app_208071072548335


http://www.pcworld.com/article/22841..._purchase.html


Of course there are certain rules and fine print but it's not a bad deal. If you don't want the Xbox you can get 10% off the PC instead (this Xbox retails for $200).

It's not a big deal or anything, but I'm not really sure why this was merged into here...I posted it more for people that are looking for a PC, and if you didn't already have an Xbox, then this is a good deal. Or even if you don't want the Xbox, you can get 10% off a PC purchase.

If they don't have an Xbox, why would they be in this thread and how would they see it?

So, I'm a bit of a Xbox fanboy. I can even rationalize having to buy both a original Xbox and my 360 because my launch consoles died.

This though, I cannot tolerate.

you know that use of the kinect is merely an Extra or an option on games that you'll actually be buying...

i dont want my kinect to beome a primary controller for my games either, but i am excited that they are incorporating it into big selling games so that i dont have to buy Kinectimals to justify using it....

but on games that matter, i wouldnt worry about kinect taking over or being necessarry.

they are supposedly adding one in the next update along with youtube/bing search etc.

but all console browsers blow, and im sure theirs will too.. its cool to play with at first.. but soon you realize its about 10X less practical than a smartphone.

I don't mind so much the PS3 browser but I guess that depends on the sites. It does suck for You Tube though. As long as Red Tube works amirite!

but how are they suppose to change it up.

Nothing revolutionary is going to come from the next gen consoles I think.

They better not stop making games for the current 360. I better be able to get halo 4!

Hopefully they will do a better job of making things backwards compatible this time. They'll also probably have a way of making Kinect and it's games compatible going forward.

I'm sure they will wait. Just because they are announcing it next year, does not mean that it will come out in the near future. Announce it next year and make it available the following holiday season.

I still think it is too soon for a new console though.
