I suspect that presentation was total bullshit. Every demo I've seen involves 1 person (or perhaps a couple stationary people on the sides) in a special room/environment. I'm telling you all, Natal is going to blow. hard.Quote:

That being said, it's no surprise to me that a major company might do this, though. He may just have been teasing us, after all. Now I'm starting to have a feeling that Natal won't be just an accessory. You'll have to buy this "slim" model to get your hands on it.

...Not that I'm planning to get my hands on it anytime soon, though. ;) I don't even have a 360 yet.
I wish I never bought my 360. I never really used it in 2 years.
Knowing Microsoft they'll put a solid metal wall right above the fan.
you sir are correctQuote:

Haha. Indeed. That's the current-gen console wars, I'd say.Quote:

Looks like a Mini-ITX board to me, and whats with the coolermaster fan? XD
Ohwell, It's about damn time they finally decide upon a slimmed down Xbox 360. I thought they would have never done it. Hopefully it will kill off that fearsome RRoD once and for all. I might buy it one day and sell off my launch 360 that lacks a HDMI port. It never RRoDDed yet!

knowing MS these new slimline 360's will end up China Syndroming.
The problem was that the GPU heatsink was WAAAAY too fucking small. It looks like that airplane engine of a heatsink could actually do the job if they bother to attach it right.Quote:

If the heat problem couldn't be cured, they would never have thought of shrinking down the 360 in the first place.Quote:

Rumored $149 summer price cut? Seems reasonable.
I really hope they manage to fix it though, There's a couple of 360 games that I'd love try out.
but i refuse to buy a console that has such a high chance of dying in the first year.
I don't expect my stuff to live forever, but if you treat your consoles carefully they should at least last 20 years with normal use.
Yeah it's kind of an old video, so one can only assume it's gotten better from there.Quote:
