Title: Xbox 360's newest goodies
Post by: GoldenPhoenix on August 24, 2006, 12:23:41 AM
Not sure if you guys have kept up but MS revealed quite a few of the upcoming accessories along with prices. Personally I am most excited for the Vision camera, it appears to take a high quality photo and will have some games that utilize it. Not only that but I guess you can tweak your photos with lots of cool effects (even a Scanner Darkly esque effect). Anyway here are the things revealed thanks to teamxbox.com.
Xbox Live Vision camera for the Xbox 360 system. Consumers can chat via video, send photo messages, put their own face in a game, and customize their gamertag on the Xbox Live network. The camera will be available in the U.S. on Sept. 19 and in Europe on Oct. 6 in two packages: Xbox Live Vision camera for the Xbox 360 system. Consumers can chat via video, send photo messages, put their own face in a game, and customize their gamertag on the Xbox Live network. The camera will be available in the U.S. on Sept. 19 and in Europe on Oct. 6 in two packages:
Xbox Live Vision. This package includes Xbox Live Vision camera, one-month Xbox Live Gold Membership, Xbox 360 Headset, and free* downloads of two full-version Xbox Live Arcade games: the popular “UNO®” card game and “TotemBall,” the new 3-D platform game from Freeverse and Strange Flavour Ltd. that is a mixture of platform skills and puzzles (estimated retail price (ERP) $39.99 U.S./ €49.99**).
Xbox Live Video Chat Gold Kit. This package includes the Xbox Live Vision camera, a 12-month Xbox Live Gold Membership, an Xbox 360 Headset, free* downloads of three full-version Xbox Live Arcade games — the “UNO” card game, “TotemBall,” and the classic “Robotron™” action shooter — and 200 Microsoft Points (ERP $79.99 U.S./€89.99**).
Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel. For true racing enthusiasts who demand unparalleled driving realism at home, this innovatively designed wheel combines form and function with the latest technology in wireless and force feedback. Consumers who purchase the wheel will also get a limited-edition force feedback version of “Project Gotham Racing® 3” while supplies last (ERP $149.99 U.S.**, available in November).
Xbox 360 Wireless Headset. Providing the ultimate wireless experience, this headset integrates seamlessly with the Xbox 360 console to provide wireless voice chat capabilities, stylish design and superior voice quality over the Xbox Live network (ERP $59.99 U.S.**, available in November).

When TRU sold the vision one month early there were reports on GAF that only UNO was offered as the free download. The Gold voice chat pack is actually not a bad deal.
The wireless racing wheel is way too much but atleast a special edition of a game is included even if is a launch game that you can get for 29.99 if you carefully look for it.
Wireless headset costs more than the damn wireless controller no deal! I dont mind the wired headsets at all.
The wireless X360 controller reciever is kind of pointless since you can easily buy wired controllers for 10 dollars cheaper and you save 20 dollars for the reciever.

Hey Nintendo's console seems to be a better and better deal. Since the WiiPointer can easily act like a steering wheel we don't have to buy an expensive accessory. Since the WiiPointer acts like a gun, we don't have to buy an expensive accessory. (I know we can chose to if we want.)
