I think Sony may destroy them with their conference tomorrow. They've already announced more games in the last two weeks than Microsoft did in their entire conference. Unless it just becomes the Move show and we get to see more flailing around on stage.

I dont think it will.They got a lot of that out at the announcement for the move a few months ago.I think it'll be a lot more of the PSN+ thingy or whatever itll be called. Shouldnt be hard to beat that conference though

MS know how to keep a secret. How soon before the Slim PS3 was announced did we see those manufacturing photos?

We saw the slim motherboard over a month ago and it's been rumoured for nearly a year.

I think Jack Tretton could get on stage, soil himself, then masturbate in his own feces while spitting on the audience and it would beat that conference, because in a way I feel like I've just be subjected to that by Microsoft.

You should do event planning.

"For those of you at the Microsoft event yesterday, here's a reminder..."

It might just be that I wasn't expecting anything from this, but I thought it was really good. I'm starting to think some of you guys expect magical leaps in gaming. I mean seriously, it's the first wave of games from this new control system, there is a new xbox with built in wireless and hard drive... I'm happy... I think people just want to complain :rolleyes:

Yeah, pity gamestop is closed now! Will try in the morning?

Looking at the connections at the back, it looks like the power brick PSU is now internal.:) Where is the hard drive though, is that in a slot like the PS3 now? Looks that way.

Mr Freeze

No visible attachment for the WiFi Addon, so its probably is built in.

Where does the HDD go? still on the side?

It slots in the back, it's nothing like the one we have for the current Xbox's.

Which will heat the inside up (or need a big jet engine to cool it).
We all know what happens to hot xboxes.

Wow Microsoft really need to pull something out of the bag to save this Conference. It's been piss-poor so far.

Actually I think Microgonesoft need to put something back in the bag and leave it there. This is a really poor presentation of this new step back in gaming. It seems any movement faster than that of an octogenerian doing Tai chi on a sedative will cause a malfunction on the screen. Very pedestrian.

I thought the water rush idea with the camera was ok. Some people might have fum with various photograph superimposed onto the game environment. But no....just a picture of two women jumping with the studio as the backdrop. Poor design concept and poor execution.

The presentation of anything gaming should not be boring or uninspiring.

AceyBongo's tweeted

"And no official Euro launch date for Kinect yet, but it will be in November and I think it'll be close to the North America date"

Okay, just checked with my Euro hardware expert - new Xbox 360 console available in Europe on July 16th

Bit of a wait.

Is anyone going to upgrade to the new Xbox?

Sony seem to have it sussed, about time for MS to pull the finger.

I'd say they have shrunk the die cast process again allowing for it to run cooler and require even less juice.

ah crap!

With no power brick though, these slims could get really hot....also I wonder they are silent unlike the originals.

Ya I probably will....with HDMI, and optical out that can be used at the same time, it will suit my setup at home a lot better.

Yep, I have a Pro and Elite in the attic (RROD repairs) along with the Elite I'm using now. I'm upgrading as I don't think my current 9 month old Elite is too healthy.
