I don't think this rumor is true, but it would be really cool if it is.

This rumor is to crazy... I can imagine people running out to get the dang system to download the 6 free games if for nothing else... they have some good games in there and if they keep it at 1 day then they limit the amount of people who download this stuff to only the hardcore... of course that's almost all of the 15 million or so owners. It would totally be awsome...

I doubt any of us will ever go/see/experience/live in/touch home

I wonder how the heck did dodece knew this stuff?

edit:Nvm he saw it on a forum

coughi'minthebetacough

Was it Dodece who made the thread?

Doesn't really matter to sales, so it doesn't matter to me.

It's moreso for owners of the system, not prospective owners.

Rumor: Xbox 360 To "Relaunch" On Sept. 25 With TV Ad Blitz, Free Games

A poster on the VGChartz forums (yes, I know) has posted alleged details of a rumored Xbox 360 "relaunch," the specifics of which even the author writes are "batshit crazy." However, the supposed Fall marketing push is specific enough to the point where it could be grounded in reality — and makes some amount of sense in light of new price drops, the arrival of the "New Xbox Experience" and impending holiday purchases.

According to the forum posting, on September 25th, Microsoft will take over basic cable channel G4 with a five-hour infomercial, culminating in the launch of the New Xbox Experience at midnight. The arrival of the new look and feel for the Xbox 360's dashboard will also bring with it three totally new services, six free games and twelve new exclusives.

Similar to the launch of Netflix streaming via Xbox Live, also rumored to launch is a collaboration with Sirius Satellite Radio which will allow subscribers to stream stations through their Xbox 360s. This streaming service is also said to be accessible in-game, as a custom soundtrack.

Just as wild is the rumored announcement of a music download service, one that lets you pay with Microsoft Points.

Finally, a service known as "Mad Lib" is said by the poster to arrive alongside the New Xbox Experience. The source speculates "it has something to do with a picture within picture function."

On the games front, the Xbox 360 "relaunch" is said to come with a dozen game announcements, including a new Assassin's Creed title, more Halo games, plus details on expansions for Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto IV and Halo 3. The dirty dozen are said to be codenamed Apricot, Burden, Conker, Dramatis, Error, Fender, Gargoyle, Hiroshima, Ignorance, Jeremiah, Kyoto, and London, if you feel like wildly speculating.

Even better? Six Xbox Originals are rumored to join the line-up — for free.

How plausible does this all sound? It certainly looks like a heaping pile of stinking fanboy fantasy, but we suppose it could happen. It's allegedly planned just prior to the Tokyo Game Show, a move that could help Microsoft's chances and reinvigorate slow console sales. We're contacting Microsoft to see what they have to say about the whole thing, but consider this one a rumor with a capital R for now.

Just a logic question....

Why is this rumour getting so much press?

It is a rumour but it is everywhere. If it is true it is impressive. If it is not this is a lot of attention for nothing...

o shit if half of this stuff that was just said is true i will be one happy camper ahaha
