New 360S is a beast in the US...very hard to find at us retail stores right now.

Lots of arcades still on sale for $149, but the 360s is a ghost.


So true, I have a friend that's been trying to find one since he heard of the new slim, but can't find one anywhere. I'm surprised a new $299 Xbox is creating such a stir, but it really is.

Unprecedented demand would mean that it is higher than it was at launch.

Also, as a rule I do not trust anything that comes from "Industry Gamers."

PS -- Could not demand be so high because of (a) the knowledge that a new console version was coming depressed sales in May (see NPD) and (b) the trade-in offers (see Gamestop) has some people going to a different/newer version of the console in hopes of not having future problems (and in some cases of not having to pay another $40 for the cord to connect Kinect).

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Anyone else disturbed of the series labeling that some companies have started doing?  Why did Sony just name it Twisted Metal? DId they just start the series from scratch again?  Don't get me wrong I used to love Twisted Metal 1,2, and kind of 3.  To just name it the original title is bullshit.  Shows lazyness in title naming and almost suggests to people that it is an orginal game (which most know it isn't but still...).

How about New Twisted Metal? Would that be original enough for you??

Would be better than just renaming it the original title.  So yea that would be good enough for me.

its not final, its probably a working title, like how "Zelda Wii" was.

Ah okay I suppose I jumped the gun perhaps.  I suppose we will know once it is closer to being released.
