Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft confirms fantastic surprise for Xbox 360 at E3, possible 3D dashboard?

dbot on 07 July 2008

Does the Xbox Marketplace has a bunch of non-gaming related advertisements? If so, PS Store >>>>> Marketplace.

XMB is the best console navigation I have seen.

I know that people are getting really excited for a 3D Minority Report interface with an xmote for the 360, but you should stop and consider how annoying it would be. The only fault I can find with the Wii is trying to navigate menus using the wiimote.



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

I don't get it. What's the problem of using a pointer to navigate a menu? It's basically the same thing as using a mouse, fast and easy.

No!!! Don't hype this up... you're just setting yourself to be let down...

Look at all the previous "fantastic" announcement from MS from these types of events.. Zune?? Resident Evil??

The safest thing to do is to pretend that they will announce nothing!! Actually pretend that they will announce negative things... like console cost increases, and new & improved console updates that will brick consoles, etc!

That was a cheap shot lol.

Wonder what it could be.

 

 

its most likely the x-mote

"He didn’t reveal anything further than confirm the surprise is not the rumored Wii-like controller many have speculated."

 

alot of the times they say its not somthing,then it is that

 

That would be really dumb in this case.

They just don't want people to be let down by the "fantastic, game changing" feature when they find out it isn't an xiimote.

^i still think its the x-mote even though they say its not,usually companys say tis not then it is,like last year when sony said that they wouldnt drop the price then 5 days later they announced a price drop

That's different... When you say "I'm doing an announcement and it's not X", and then you announce X, you'll look like an ass. It's not the same thing as denying a price cut.

 

 

 

 That made me lol, now I'm hoping it is the x-mote just for the comedic value.

WoW, i can't wait to see what brand new thing Microsoft is preparing, anyone knows??
it will be a huge surprise for everyone since Microsoft has always brand new ideas....

for god's sake....

let's make it clear: if a company shows off a Wii-like controller, it's just like signing Nintendo's victory......

it would be so worthless from a company like Sony to be the laughing stock in E3 by their own, but i can expect something like that from Microsoft.....

I've been hoping for that for some time. It would provide me with hours of entertainment watching gaming forums melt down (especially if Sony also did it), plus I'd have a reason to buy RE5.
