ESPN Deal - not much difference


The ESPN deal is HUGE. IF you don't think it makes a difference is probably because you don't like sports.

yes it is also to Google TV ...:P

Its not that huge being you can get sports info on PS3 or Wii browser. So...

I need more details on this.  Can you watch anything that's on ESPN, live, on this?  If so, I might be buying a 2nd 360 for this reason alone (as I've cancelled cable).  If it's mostly just video archive with a few live sports that I don't care about, then it's no deal.  I can't seem to find anything else about it, though....

u have to be in USA and have an 8mbps net connection(HD) and 360 LIVE membership

- the sport deal is really not that "HUGE" even in the US. It is a non event when you consider it in Europe ...

- are we sure Rising is exclusive to the 360 ? or is it coming to the PS3 too ?


Rising is not exclusive. It was announced early on, right before MS said "everything to follow is exclusive." If it was, they would have done it after.

It looks like it lilbelue. But I might have read somewhere there's a price cut for it so maybe not

the price cut (for elite and arcade) is for cleaning the stock for the SLIM

after we may see another price (right after the stock cleaning or for Natal)

but what about an arcade SLIM model ?


NO IDEA till now or atleast till fall

I am pretty stoked for this.  There's a good chance I'll be buying a new 360 (unless Sony announces something similar tomorrow) so I can watch espn events.  I've been waiting and waiting for a good, easy way to do this, and it looks like this is it.  I just wish it would hurry up and come out now!

they should have a redesigned xbox and kinect bundle... that bundle with a 349.99 price will be very appealing to those who want the new xbox and kinect...

yes i think that would have wiorked

the redesign was really just looking like a paint coat


a Paint coat. And a redesigned smaller console. And a 250gb HDD. And built-in Wifi.

So Microsoft's E3 conference is over and it didn't feel Microsoft.With their previous conferences which were exciting and filled with shocking announcements,this felt like Nintendo's Conference

 

Their MAJOR announcements:

XBOX 360 ELITE redesign - will appeal to existing userbase and also price wasn't reduced

ESPN Deal - not much difference

METAL GEAR RISING TRAILER -don't think this will make difference as MGS4 already on PS3 so MGS fans already own a console so they buy MGS RISING PS3.Also it will release next year so too late

NATAL - INTERESTING,lets see how people like it.late launch and hardcore title sellers not included

HALO REACH -  it should have had NATAL support optional but i think it was done becauser of the NATL 360 processor sharing would affect game quality.

So cherry picking to suit you? What about their other Major announcements.

 

SONY GUNS AVAILABLE:

GRAN TURISMO 5 - biggest PS GUN coming - lol so Halo isn't or GoW3 isn't for xbox?

MOVE - again interesting.lets see how people like it.but here BIG games are MOVE compatible like GT5 - Unlike Forza and Kinect or Fable?

OTHER OLD BIG GAMES - many of SONY's top franchises are coming back so they could influence. - Like Fable3?

EXCLUSIVES - MANY exclusives could be announced - true, COULD be

3D



halo and gow have already released 2-3 times this gen so they won't make impact  other than the existing userbase and their fans

FABLE 3 again released so nothing really,i was pointing to TWISTED METAL,LAST GUARDIAN,GT5,etc

FABLE ON KINECT is nowhere near GT5 MOVE also FABLE again lesser as already released even though this time with Kinect

 

FORZA releases next year till then GT5 will smash the racing genre to pieces

So fable wont do anything because its been released and neither will halo or GoW.

What about KZ or Resistance?

I see you ignored Forza on Kinect when talking about gt and move. Focused on Fable? Wonder why? How do you know its not as near (not sure what you meant to say) as gt and move? Played them both?

So none of the ms franchises will have an impact and you've ignored Forza yet you say when Forza releases next year it will surpass GT which will smach the racing genre?

now I know why you keep ignoring Forza

Incredible shrinking paint... I mean you do realize it is actually smaller too right?


yes but it really didn't look good

 

small,shiny with  shrap bend with WIFI and 250gb with same price

 

PS3 SLIMMER 120gb redesign worked as it had a price cut,it was the consumer ideal price point,and the image change to bring back PS3 image from the FAT ugly machine to the fun PS2 like machine and get back the old consumers

 

360 HAS ALREADY taken in all the XBOX 1 consumers
