Forums - Microsoft - OXM Rumors: 360 Slim Fall Release, Perfect Dark Zero 2 Fall 2011, 360 Dashboard Redesign for Natal

The latest issue of the Official Xbox Magazine is reaching the hands of gamers today and it features some juicy morsels of information on the Xbox 360 Slim, Perfect Dark Zero 2, and a Xbox 360 Dashboard re-haul for the Natal launch.

Via NeoGAF: 'With Gears of War 3 out in April 2011, what will Microsoft have for holiday 2011? The Ball sees a redheaded girl in a spandex suit. … A slimmer, redesigned 360 to be revealed at E3? Don’t bet on it until the fall, when it’s part of the Project Natal rollout. Expecting a 360 dashboard redesign to accompany Project Natal? Don’t hold your breath, says the ball."

It has been heavily rumored that a Xbox 360 Slim will be unveiled at E3 in June, with the only evidence currently being the leaked images of a smaller motherboard from a production plant in China. If Microsoft introduces the hardware around the launch of Natal, it'll likely cause a bigger stir among the casual crowd that they are targeting with Natal. Rare has been busy with something since the release of Banjo Kazooie, but they have been reportedly working on a slew of Natal titles. Perfect Dark Zero in 2011 is certainly a strong possibility and something many would love see happen.

So maybe no Slim revealed at E3, is that what they're saying? It makes sense, but still it's sad since I want E3 to be huge.



Holy shit! Xbox is going to be HUGE this year!!!!



I don't see perfect Dark Zero 2 being anything but an arcade title. The world of FPS games has changed folks... Now if you are not a realistic shooter, with real weapons, and tough army dudes...you are not much or a killer app.

Other than Halo Reach...not much sci fi/fiction shooters left in the AAA sector. Hopefully Crysis 2 is a success...

Halo,Bioshock,Killzone,Resistance are just a few that sell plenty

Revealing at E3 will sap sales...unless you do a summer clearance sale of older 360s...Basically, have a $50 instant rebate on everything...clear out inventory, and prep the space for fans like me, who are going to get a new 360 console! Now what to do with my older MW2 260GB one...hmmmm...

2 million LTD would be great sales for a Rare game.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

Like the PS3 Slim, it wont be revealed at E3 as that would kill the sales until the Slim releases.



For sure they wont show the slim at E3, but it would be epic...
