Giving away new 360's so everyone doesn't think about how shitty this conference has been?

[broodwars]

OMG!  Microsoft just did a Sega!  "Yes, we have a new console design, and it's in stores RIGHT NOW!!!"  Nice price, though.  If they truly fixed the RRoD problems, I might pick that up.
 
And what's with them trying to bribe the audience with new 360s?

[Louieturkey]

Dang I wish I was there now. Free console is always worth it.  I wonder if it still comes with the 3 year warranty.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

I hear Kinect has its own unique quality of awful, regardless of Wii.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Damn....FREE 360's for everyone in attendance!?

Why couldn't I have gone to E3 this year!!??

The audience didn't seem to give much of a **** though.

[Louieturkey]

They already have 6 360s that are all RROD so why get excited about a 7th?

[BlackNMild2k1]

So I'm at work and can't watch the press conference but I've been keeping up the best I can on different forums and such.  The vibe I'm getting is that Microsoft has taken everything that sucks about the Wii and has condensed it all into one presentation.  Is that an accurate summary?  Kinect is basically the worst of the Wii, now on the Xbox 360?

It actually imporoved on some things like Your Shape and the Dance Game.
other than that, it's Wii all the way!!!

edit: They also had Kinect Adventures, which is basically different ways to play Natal Ball Slap

[Louieturkey]

So when's Ubi's Assassin's Creed/Your Shape press conference happening?  I'm still hoping for BG&E2 to make a possible cameo.

I was waiting for a redesign to get one but DAMN, they couldn't have done a better job to stop me.

It finally has wifi built in though, and wireless n ontop of that.
I wonder if that means the wifi adapter that is overpriced by about $80 will finally hit the bargain bin.

[ShyGuy]

So, I just woke up from my food posioning coma. Has MS shown anything "hardcore" or interesting?

[Ian Sane]

A free Xbox 360 is always a good thing so you have a spare when your current one RRoD's on you!

It sounds like Nintendo may officially be off the hook for the infamous Wii Music E3 presentation.  If you focus on on the stuff that may actually be, you know, good did MS even announce any new games?  Possible worst E3 presentation ever?

[BlackNMild2k1]

New Slimbox360 also has a new type of proprietary HDD, so no HDD swapping from your old console.

MS' conference is tomorrow.  This is the Biggest Loser discussion thread.

[broodwars]

So to summarize today's Microsoft Press Conference:
 
-Call of Duty Black Ops looks like a slightly lower-scale CoD game, with helicopter action in a jungle setting.
-Microsoft purchased exclusive First Release rights to Activision Call of Duty DLC for 3 years.
-Gears of War 3 looks like a Gears of War game
-Metal Gears Solid Rising looks ****ing awesome, though Kojima will find some way to screw it up with a nonsensical storyline and endless talking.
-Fable 3 looks like a Fable game.
-Microsoft's bringing ESPN video content to Xbox LIVE, with free access to Gold members.
-Kinect looks bloody awful, with the exception of Kinect Adventures and Dance Central.
-They somehow managed to find a way to make Star Wars lightsaber combat look lame because the game was shown too early.
-New 360 black redesign coming for $299 with WiFi access and 250 GB HDD.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Most of Kinect was LOL-worthy. Wait for the gifs, but I doubt any of the gifs will be as bad as WiiMusic spaz gif or the Natal crazy foot reveal.

[Caliban]

The 3 things I'm really interested out of this conference is MGS Rising (which will come out on PS3 too), Fable 3, and the new 360. Now I need to learn if there's anyway to do a data transfer between 360 hard drives so that I can get that new 360.

[Dirk Temporo]

If they truly fixed the RRoD problems, I might pick that up.

It was fixed with the last remodel. :|

I can't believe you're seriously going to rebuy a 360 and support Microsoft's stupid remodel that was due like three years ago. Wow, built-in Wi-Fi. Don't worry, that's totally worth spending another $300 on in 2010.

And yet I'm still reading about 360 models RRODing.

[Louieturkey]

Yeah, but it is swapable, so when they release their 500GB HDD, you can still switch it out.  It's inside the system rather than outside.  Also, the Kinect does not need additional power with the new system.  With the old one, they require an additional plug.  My guess is they will release the Kinect in white and black but they will only advertise the black one so that you will want to buy a new 360 to go along with it.

Yeah. Old ones. Crazy how that works.

[Toruresu]

Honestly, this sucked.


Maxi, this wasn't decent at all!

[BlackNMild2k1]

So to summarize today's Microsoft Press Conference:

-New 360 black redesign coming for $299 with Natal, WiFi access, and 250 GB HDD.

They said the new 360 comes with Natal? I didn't hear that.

Could have sworn I saw in that little video that Kinect was included.
 
EDIT:  BUUTT I guess that doesn't make sense if you can go out and buy it now.  Fixed.
