Smaller "Slim" 360 - Now official

[hanzo]

What the fuck is that. Visible vents what.. what. Hello 1996.

It is interesting though that it looks so hardcore. The very antithesis of YAY FAMILY TIME. I wonder if this means anything for their overall focus.

[NecroMorrius]

It's quite appealing, but then my PC looks like this.

Down with smooth lines and tasteful exteriors!

[Dandy_Sephy]

That's quite astoundingly ugly. Did Lady GaGa design it or something?

The Alienware comment is the very bangest of ons.

[Hyper P]

Can't see that attracting the 'casual' crowd alongside Natal.

"I can't allow you to play that, Dave"

[Rudderless]

right back at you, my good fellow.

[NecroMorrius]

The newly designed controller just leaked:

That's right bitches, it's a mouse

[Dandy_Sephy]

Looks more like the next Batmobile

If you're planning on getting a Slim 360 and playing on it with a mouse, well you can just leave the thread right now, heathen.

[roskelld]

Honestly I couldn't give two shits what it looks like as long as it's slim, quiet and stable.

[A.C.R.O.N.Y.M]

Like to see how slim it actually.

[Hyper P]

If it's genuinely slimmer it might not be too bad, but assuming the disc drive in that ad is the same proportion to the original, they haven't took a lot off it.

[Kevvy Metal]

My eyes.

I can't unsee.

I certainly can give two shits with the amount of resource they've put behind that. Did noone at any point go "hey guys uhm that looks a bit scary, i thought we were trying to appeal to everyone" WTF who are their designers? Oh yeah, programmers. It's just a bit strange. Then again, they've never really had a proper sexy looking product.

This? It's cool. It's got air vents on the side that make it... cool.

Looks no worse than the current 360.

First info on the launch games:

Among games in the works:

•Kinectimals lets you train and play with 20 different virtual cats, including a lion, cheetah and tiger.

•Joyride, a racing game, lets players use their hands to hold an imaginary steering wheel — pull your hands toward you and push back out for an acceleration boost — and their bodies to execute jumps and tricks.

•Kinect Sports has six activities including boxing, bowling, beach volleyball, track and field, soccer and table tennis. To serve a volleyball, you mimic the real motion; in soccer, you can kick the ball or do a header.

•Kinect Adventures includes a river-raft time trial and obstacle course, playable by up to four players. On the raft, playing as a duo, you and a partner must lean one way or another to steer. Jumping helps the raft reach special areas for extra points.

•Dance Central, in development by MTV Games, brings a So You Think You Can Dance experience home.

•Star Wars characters and iconic Disney favorites will be featured in separate new games being developed at Microsoft in conjunction with LucasArts and Disney.

Now I want a Tumbler mouse.

I think it does! A bit. It looks like a step backwards. The current one we have is quite clean, at least. This wouldn't look so bad if it didn't have the super air vents on the side. I'm pretty sure having massive, visible vents is illegal in terms of modern product design.

Can't wait to see more angles 'n shots of the thing.

I got rid of the led's though.

I like it, it reminds me of this.

[zektbach]

Time to get a PS3 seemingly...

This had all be complete and utter bullshit or Microsoft are going to do a Sony, circa 2006. Upside though, plenty of entertainment and well-deserved facepalming.

Sony are doing exactly the same thing though.

[Paulando]

It looks like a cheap NAS, y'know?

[Dandy_Sephy]

If you are referring to Natal/Move, I'll point out that Sony were doing stuff with eyetoy long before Nintendo even binned the cube

I was referring to releasing a movement-sensitive peripheral with a host of rubbish minigame collections.

[pranny]

the more vent holes the more they save in plastic. I`m not seeing the bike at all but i never was good at those magic 3d picture things.It does look a bit like a tubby X now though ..which is nice.

[Dandy_Sephy]

Yes, thats my point exactly. Sony invented the market in the first place back in 2003.

[Ferine]

Yes, thats my point exactly. Sony invented the market in the first place.

So we have them to blame?

[Dandy_Sephy]

Essentially yes.

Sony sold 10million eyetoys (plus however many PS Eyes which are basically eyetoy HD). I don't see Natal doing half that (5mil would be about 1/8 of the installed base when its released), it's not going to be anywhere near as cheap for starters

"Kinectimals lets you train and play with 20 different virtual cats, including a lion, cheetah and tiger."

So that's Nintencats then.

[GViper]

Kinect can suck my balls. New 360 though? Hello sexy!
