It could be that fps controller they were talking about awhile ago



Interesting, maybe this indicates a slim?



 

I dont want anything revolutionary... just a 250-500 gb HD is that so much to ask for as soon as one comes out thats slightly less than highway robbery i will buy it (i paid 85 for the 500 gb 2.5 drive in my laptop) so 200? for 500 gb and 150 for 250gb think we can manage that?

ok so why would they need to push a new console when they just start to turn profit on that one that... the accessory possibility of the modern age has nothing to do with the sega era... and you shouldn't forget we haven't seen the best it can put out yet... after that the concurrence is not planning anything new any time soon either.... the logic sounds easy to understand here to me...
especially since MS is one of the best in computer accessories already, and have an amazing R&D for that

now what you people have with blu ray add ons ???? this would be the most useless move ever accomplished by a console maker..... first blu ray is shovel ware technology from sony to make you spend money on discs you don't need even if your habbits tell you the opposite (yeah your need for a box, a tangible object is total BS this is a pavlovian habbit nothing more nothing less) i have a collection of more than a thousand movies since the creation of VHS.... very few of which i have actually rewatched from my owned copy..... and 99% of the movie addicts are the same, better yet even if they want they don't have the time....
without saying if you want a quality player shoot for a stand alone.... it's really rare that a combo beats a good stand alone... but anyway with netflix, plus their entire library going 1080p live streaming.... blu ray is becoming more and more obsoleete.... bigger connections and bigger HD is all we need (trust me even you in the bottom of the room swearing you'll never let go from the boxed product, you will and if you don't want to you will anyway, if it's not coming from the cost of production it will from the ecological stand point)



I honestly see no need for an additional video device, and highly doubt that Microsoft is going to help Sony out seeing as they are betting heavy on digital distribution. I also highly doubt it will be a new hard drive with more gigs. You can get by with twenty, and a hundred has space to spare.

I do however see a need for a wireless keyboard type of interface to expand the online space to lets face it beyond first person shooters. I also think there is room for a better game pad. There simply must be a way to get the accuracy of a mouse to the consoles. The analog stick just has its limitations. Regardless to me these would probably be incredibly effective. A gimmick like Natal not so much.

This is them hinting at the Xbox remote. I bet they'll make one.
