One, that the Xbox 360 is definitely going to come with wireless controllers; and two, that it’s going to have an optional hard drive that attaches to the top of Xbox 360 “in a really slick way, almost like the hood scoop on a muscle car.” Better still, “You’ll be able to add the hard drive afterwards without having to take the box apart if you didn’t buy the hard drive version of the Xbox 360.”

What would be ideal is that each controller is wireless but also has a detachable cord. The cord connects to the console like normal controllers do today. So you can pick to play in wireless mode or if you're running low on juice you can play "old school" with wires. And if they could make it so that the controller charges by hooking it up to the console like normal then we would really have something ideal.

As a precautionary measure and out of concern for consumer safety, Microsoft announced today that it will voluntarily replace the power cords on 14.1 million Xbox consoles worldwide.

However, in 30 consoles worldwide, these failures are reported to have caused minor injury or minor property damage. In seven instances, customers reported sustaining a minor burn to their hand. In 23 instances, customers reported smoke damage, or minor damage to a carpet or entertainment centre.

The backwards compatibility thing is interesting. If the hard drive is optional then it can't be backwards compatible or at least "model 1" can't be.

Our inside source says that the console is a sleek silver device worthy of countertop display, and features an inhaled design that turns the harsh angles of the original Xbox into sweeps and curves. The device will also be able to stand upright or on it’s side, much like the Playstation 2. The side of the 360° is dominated by an oversized, back-lit power button called the ring of light, and the rest of the case can be customized with colorful designer face plates that pop on and off. The 360°s dashboard will also be customizable, making each console a thing totally unique to its owner.
Some of the inner workings of the 360° have also been confirmed. The device will feature high definition audio and video and wireless controllers, and will come in two flavors—one with a hard drive and one without. The biggest shock is that while Microsoft wants to make their 360° backwards compatible, they haven’t yet been able to pull it off.
“They’re working on it,” said our source.

Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz this morning, developers working with prototype Xbox 2 hardware confirmed that while they have not seen final designs for the controller, Microsoft representatives have indicated that the pads will indeed be wireless.
Quote
Microsoft will be the first console manufacturer to ship wireless pads as standard with its hardware, but not the first to ship an official wireless controller; Nintendo has already enjoyed significant success with the WaveBird, its wireless pad for the GameCube.

Dean Lester, general manager for Windows graphics and gaming technologies, said future controllers will connect to the Xbox through a USB port, so that they also can be used on Windows PCs.

IGN: What aspect of the Nintendo DS version of Need for Speed Underground 2 are you most proud of?
Ferguson: There are plenty of things we are proud of in this title. If I had to pick one as a standout, it would be the frame rate. We set a goal of 60fps early in development, and despite the visual detail that has been packed into the title, and the complex physics simulation running under the hood, we've managed to achieve that benchmark. For us, it's the icing on the cake.

What is REFLEX Control?
White Fusion is driven to produce solutions
that will benefit both gamers and developers.
That is what REFLEX Control is all about.
No other company has ever done what
White Fusion is about to do.
REFLEX Control is completely unique, but it has a broad impact. It is not another specialized control device intended for a few games. It is an upgrade... an upgrade to the standard control for console games.

I actually use USB keyboards and mice (mouses? meeces?) often with my PS2. Did you guys know Silent Scope on PS2 works with a mouse? Plus, they're readily available to pretty much everyone. I'd totally support it.
I don't really care for wireless, though, I'd rather not swap batteries and keep my rumble functions.
